Module 1: Foundational Principles

We begin at the beginning, with foundational principles upon which everything else is built. This module is heavy on what we call “subclassification.” Subclassification is a physiological diagnosis process that accompanies, supports and expands our understanding of the medical diagnosis or the classical chiropractic subluxation diagnosis.
