Bio-Geometric Integration (BGI) is an integrative approach to the philosophy, science, and art of chiropractic. It provides chiropractors with a deeper understanding of the body’s innate geometry and connectivity, enabling them to release subluxations and assess the effectiveness of each adjustment more effectively.

A subluxation is an entity that interferes with the expression of the innate intelligence of living systems. We are constantly bombarded with input from our environment at every moment of our lives. These external forces are continually putting the body under stress. Now, these forces we encounter are just inherent inputs from our environment, which we should be equipped to handle. Each force experienced by living systems carries information that is expressed as packets of energy with varying frequencies or tones. So, although the input experienced may be quite varied, one consistent aspect is they are all energetic.

Our senses perceive the energy, and the system interprets it. This information processing and interpretation occur via the innate intelligence of the body. Innate intelligence is the localized intelligence in all lifeforms which keeps the system actively organized through the adaptation of forces.

If the intelligence of the body can integrate (recognize and process) the information contained in the experience, then it can utilize them to grow, learn, heal, and evolve. If the system does not integrate the experience, the new tone becomes part of the integrated whole, it is stored in the body. The system perceives it as a foreign, dissonant tone then is stored in the physiology of the body and the subluxation is created. The potential energy theory of subluxation expands the understanding of how, energetically, the system-wide phenomenon of the subluxation is.

In applying the potential energy theory of subluxation, the dissonance of the tone, which was not integrated, distorts the body’s natural geometric structure and alignment. This distortion of the geometry of the body creates tension in the soft tissue (muscles, ligaments, tendons, meninges, mesentery) and misalignment of the osseous structures, thus causing stress, in various ways, to the nerve system and interference to the communication of the intelligence of the body.

BGI also recognizes that the potential energy in the body is best accessed where it is being primarily stored. Essentially there are three categories of stored places—the muscles, the soft connective tissue (ligaments, tendons, and the tissue around the organs called mesentery), and the hard connective tissue (bones). This is important because a different adjustive force is required for each. The force of the adjustment for releasing potential in the muscles and soft tissue is rather light, while the force of the adjustment to release potential in the bony system is more dynamic and typically associated with chiropractic. Both are powerful adjustments but are best utilized with the appropriate category.

Chiropractic adjustments allow the energy from a subluxation to be released and integrated into your body. BGI enables the Doctor of Chiropractic to utilize knowledge of the body’s innate geometry to appropriately gauge the full effect of a subluxation, allowing it to be released as an integrated whole.

Understanding the geometry also allows your chiropractor to assess and prioritize all your subluxation patterns, so each one may be attended to at the best time for your body, creating maximum opportunity for self-healing and memory in your body. Because as your chiropractor, we want to see you truly heal and create changes that last while not being dependent on the adjustments for change.

Through BGI, we can understand both the physical and energetic aspects of the cause of disease, realize the potential of each experience, and assess the most effective, efficient, and integrative way to release the potential stored within each one of us.
