The core principles and “Why” behind the chiropractic adjustment.
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. I heard the news earlier today of the passing of American icon Chuck Norris. He was a legendary martial artist, actor, and six-time world karate champion (among many other things). Known worldwide for his starring role in the long-running television series Walker, Texas Ranger, Norris embodied strength, justice, and unyielding determination…
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. These words will ring true for the guardians of the sacred trust. To others, they may appear mystical, metaphysical, or completely outside the realm of understanding; that is okay. Words take on different meanings at various periods in our lives. For decades now, I have had a fascination with the history…
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Hello to my fellow seekers of vitality and purpose. If the past few years have taught us anything, it’s that the world is ripe for a seismic shift. We’ve navigated pandemics, tech disruptions, and a wellness revolution that’s finally putting the spotlight on prevention over pills. But let’s rewind to 1997…
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. In 1895, D.D. Palmer founded chiropractic on a core principle: removing nerve interference allows the body to re tune and express full health. This foundational idea (clearing interference so innate intelligence can flow unimpeded) remains central to the profession’s science, philosophy, and art. Over time, this evolved into identifying and correcting…
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. In the ever-evolving landscape of health and wellness, chiropractic philosophy has long served as a bridge between the esoteric traditions of the past and the cutting-edge discoveries of quantum biology today. As the founder and editor of Planet Chiropractic, I’ve spent decades exploring these intersections, and recent discussions on platforms like…
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. In R.W. Stephenson’s seminal 1927 Chiropractic Textbook, he articulated a foundational principle that would shape the philosophy of chiropractic for generations: “A Universal Intelligence is in all matter and continually gives to it all its properties and actions, thus maintaining it in existence. The expression of this intelligence through matter is…
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. In the esoteric teachings of Max Heindel’s Ancient and Modern Initiation, the spine and spinal cord emerge as profound symbols within a mystical framework that views the human body as a microcosm of cosmic forces. Published posthumously in 1931 by The Rosicrucian Fellowship, this seminal work compiles the spiritual insights of…
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. There may be no profession on the planet that is more positively focused than chiropractic. The entire foundation chiropractic is built upon is in helping people express the best version of themselves. Within the profession, and publicly, we may use different terminologies to describe it, but at the core we are…
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. In nearly 25 years of chiropractic practice I’ve yet to miss a day in the office due to illness. This isn’t a brag, it’s not boastfulness, and I’m not saying I won’t die. I am fully aware of the impermanence of my flesh, and I know my physical death will come….
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. I am extremely grateful to mentors that have helped guide me along my path. This 10 minute simple exercise in mindfulness comes from the entity known as SETH aka Jane Roberts. I am posting it here for those that are seeking it. Pretend that you are on a lighted stage, the…
I don’t know the source of the material I’m sharing here today but I certainly thought it was worth sharing (it was worth me re-reading it as well – Guilty). I was in the garage cleaning out some old textbooks and notes from my days in chiropractic school and I came across this on two…
Note: I’ve attended many Focus Chiropractic Philosophy Events and I highly recommend them to Chiropractors, Prospective Students, Office Staff, and even Chiropractic Patients. – Michael Dorausch, DC Pocono Focus Philosophy Winter Event Saturday March 24th, 2012 3:00-10:00 PM Chiropractors Sharon Gorman and Jay Handt Come hear our fantastic line up of speakers: Dr. Dennis Cirone,…
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. I am an odd fellow when it comes to numbers and dates. I’ll find a coffee can from 1895, and think about how it was made the same year DD Palmer discovered chiropractic. I will see a stone marked 1897 on the front of a building, and be reminded that was…
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Something I have long loved about the New Beginnings chiropractic philosophy events taking place in New Jersey is their commitment to chiropractic students. While I was attending a speakers luncheon on Saturday, cards were handed out in support of the student fund. I grabbed a photo of the card, so that…
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Postcard arrived today from Schofield Chiropractic Training in Phoenix, Arizona. It was a simple postcard with a quote from BJ Palmer, developer of Chiropractic. There is a poster with a drawing of BJ Palmer on it, with these same words. Great for any chiropractic office (will maybe not any chiropractic office,…
By Sharon Gorman, D.C. Gorman Chiropractic Life Centers The Holidays are on the way and people need a little more TLC and to discuss something other than the weather and their issues so here’s my idea. A Contest!!!! Done many, many before but haven’t done one in a while so I got one going since…
By Sharon Gorman, D.C. Get quiet for a second. What do you hear? That voice keeps on talking. Feelings keep on coming up. For the flash of a second that you hear that or feel that you don’t get to choose it. It is there. Now what do you do with it. . . the…
By Sharon Gorman, D.C. Last Saturday afternoon Armand Rossi did a two hour training session for Chiropractors in my office between my Open House for the patients and our Philosophy Night at the Hotel. The entire day was awesome. At the end of his talk he asked us if we had any questions and I…
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. If you’d been paying any attention to this blog during the past few days you may have noticed that I was in San Francisco for an Internet get together (I don’t dare call it conference) known as WordCamp. I left my chiropractic office in Los Angeles on Friday night at 7…
By Sharon Gorman, D.C. I was just thinking about relationships, specifically the relationship that you have with your spouse or significant other. Both people need to get what they need out of the relationship or they probably won’t stay in it. Wouldn’t make much sense to stay in a relationship that you aren’t winning at….
By Sharon Gorman, D.C. As many of you know last month I moved into a much larger office. I loved my old office but it just wasn’t big enough. I included a separate room for patient education in this office. I never had a room designated for this purpose in any of my previous offices….
By Sharon Gorman, D.C. We Chiropractors try to be so politically correct. We don’t like to use the G word in the office. We try not to turn people off if they are not open to talking about God. I find it perplexing that people try to keep their spiritual world and their physical world…
By Sharon Gorman, D.C. Monday Morning Message – 6/12/07 Begin Today Boy, I have had a crazy few weeks. Just a few weeks ago I moved my practice. I moved into an office three times the size of my last office. I guess it is easier to move into a bigger space rather than a…
By Sharon Gorman, D.C. Monday Morning Message for 5/14/07 Who is driving the car? When something doesn’t go the way that you hoped it would in your life, is it always someone else’s fault. Until we acknowledge that we have free choice in life we will never be able to reach our full potential. As…
By Sharon Gorman, D.C. Monday Morning Message Organization One of the keys to getting what you want out of life is effective planning. I have a monthly calendar I work off of. I know, low tech. Well it helps if I can see it all in front of me at the same time. I buy…
By Sharon Gorman, D.C. Monday Morning Message… Adjusting Kids Kids are so much fun to adjust – most of the time. They look forward to seeing you. The look forward to the unconditional love that we give them. They love the stickers and treats we give them. They love that feeling that they feel in…
By Sharon Gorman, D.C. Are You Afraid To Be Bored? Have you given yourself a chance to be a little bored lately. We just had our first snow storm in my area this year. Had a chance to be snowed in a little. Kind of like to be snowed in once or twice a year….
By Sharon Gorman, D.C. Monday Morning Message… Adaptability When I was doing my orientation last night I asked the people a question I asked them a million times. How do you know if you are healthy? Well you know all the typical answers. The silliest and most common is that I know that I am…
By Sharon Gorman, D.C. Monday Morning Message… Still Have a Burning Desire! About 20 years ago I was on my way back from a DE meeting in Atlanta. I was so excited so I grabbed a piece of paper and a pen and wrote A BURNING DESIRE. I am sharing it with you today. I…
By Sharon Gorman, D.C. Monday Morning Message… I just figured out my stats for January. I had my best January since I’ve been in practice. I had my fourth highest month ever. The reason I mention this is not only to brag but I tell you in hope that my success will motive your success….
By Sharon Gorman, D.C. Monday Morning Message… A few weeks ago we gave out pocket appointment books to the patients. We usually give them something to show our appreciation and this year we happened to give out these little books. I had one of my CAs print out gift certificates to insert in each book….
By Travis Robertson (6th trimester student – Palmer College) If you have ever tried to break yourself of a bad habit, you know how hard it can be. You have to break it once then again and again and again. You have to do it many times at relatively close intervals. This helps your body…
By Sid Mouk, D.C. One of the toughest lessons I had to learn and, perhaps, that we all have to learn is that no external circumstances, happenings, or people are ever the cause of the problems/dis-eases in my life. I finally learned that when I have a “problem/dis-ease” in my life, the problem is “ME,”…
By Super CA Jackie Do You Believe Your Body Has the Ability to Heal Itself? For many people who walk into a Chiropractor’s office the first time, they really don’t know what to expect. We hear from time to time: “I don’t think this is going to work, but I’ll give it a couple of…
