Systems Chiropractic™
Precise and Holistic
Where clinical experience meets systems thinking
Systems Chiropractic™ was developed by Dr H. Peter Hong in Hong Kong through clinical practice up to April 2020, and continues as a research‑based framework for strategy‑guided chiropractic care.
What Is Systems Chiropractic? Bridging Traditional Wisdom and Modern Science
Systems Chiropractic is a paradigm-shifting approach that reimagines healthcare through the lens of systems thinking—a framework emerging from systems science that flexibly navigates between holistic and reductionist views. It recognizes the body not as isolated parts but as a dynamic network of physical, neurological, and environmental interactions.
Systems Chiropractic looks at your whole body as an interconnected system, going beyond just treating symptoms to understand how different parts work together for overall health. It uncovers how chronic conditions, like low back pain, emerge from complex feedback loops and reciprocal influences, revealing important patterns that influence recovery.
