The Center for Chiropractic Progress is a federally-registered 501(C)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to perpetuate the authentic transmission of the principles of Chiropractic through seminars, specifically the Philosophy Diplomate program (DPhCS), and to fund research and projects that are congruent with these principles. The Center for Chiropractic Progress serves as the sponsor of the DPhCS program.

All proceeds received for the DPhCS program go toward supporting philosophically-sound Chiropractic programs and research. This is an investment not only in YOUR future as a Chiropractor, but also in the future of the profession you love. As the original architect of the Diplomate Program Fred H. Barge, DC, PhC, LCP stated, “A great profession can only be sustained through the authentic transmission of its principles from generation to generation.”

Why Philosophy

Our Chiropractic Philosophy forms the basis for how you approach each case. It provides the basis of your thought process and an avenue to assimilate today’s science into your patient care, making you the best Chiropractor you can be. The Philosophy of Chiropractic is not merely the study of abstract principles. It encompasses an understanding of the processes of health “ease” and its absence “dis-ease” (in-coordination).
