Nature Needs No Help, Just No Interference

Dr. Joe Sheppard from Sheppard Chiropractic discusses one of the most important and foundational ideas in chiropractic philosophy. It’s a simple phrase, but it carries a powerful meaning. The phrase is: “Nature needs no help, just no interference.” Now, when people hear that for the first time, they sometimes wonder what that really means. Does it mean the body doesn’t need doctors? Does it mean we should never do anything for our health? Not exactly. What it means is that the body already has an incredible built-in ability to heal and regulate itself. The role of chiropractic is not to force the body to heal, but to remove the things that interfere with that natural healing process. So today we’re going to talk about what that means, why it matters, and how chiropractic fits into that idea.
