What is the purpose of the Simple Cycle?

The Simple Cycle is an important concept in chiropractic philosophy, designed to illustrate the dynamic relationship between the body and its environment. It outlines a concise sequence of events that demonstrates how a specific cause can lead to a particular effect, which can then cycle back to influence the original cause. This cyclical approach emphasizes the interconnectivity of bodily functions and the impact of external factors on health.

By providing a brief story that encompasses this cycle of cause and effect, it serves as an educational tool, helping practitioners and patients alike understand how various influences can contribute to health and disease. This narrative flow aids in simplifying complex interactions within the body, allowing chiropractors to communicate effectively about how spinal health and overall wellness are interrelated.

In contrast, while maximizing strength training, simplifying communication between elements, or extending the analysis of health may be important in other contexts, these goals do not encapsulate the primary aim of the Simple Cycle, which is centered on demonstrating cyclical relationships in health.
