Classification

Dis-eases are usually classified as constitutional and environmental. A constitutional dis-ease is one that is due to defects in the structures of the body such as dis-ease of digestion, while environmental dis-eases are attributed to extrinsic environmental conditions. The infectious dis-eases are given in this class. Chiropractically all dis-eases are brought on by interference with transmission of mental impulses caused by defective mechanism of the spinal column. The so-called environmental dis-eases are chiropractically the result of the lack of adaptation to environmental conditions.
