About

Dr. Senzon’s contribution to the philosophy of chiropractic in the last few years has been prolific. His newest articles on Constructing a Philosophy of Chiropractic are unlike anything ever written before on the topic. Simon has taken chiropractic and developed a deep history of ideas, one that situates the science, art, and philosophy of chiropractic at the leading edge. Please check back to this website often and subscribe to our newsletter. Simon has five peer-reviewed articles due for publication in December, 2011.

All of these latest thoughts and insights were developed into a series of online CE courses.

In 2009, Dr. Senzon collaborated with Drs. Epstein and Lemberger to further develop Epstein’s paradigm of Reorganizational Healing (ROH). This collaboration has led to several new articles in press as well as bursts of creativity and insight for all three authors.

“On rare occasions, one can step back and say ‘Wow, that is a really good idea.’  Now might be that time.”

Simon Senzon has been teaching Subtle Energy Systems as part of the Masters Program in Integral Theory at John F. Kennedy University since 2007. Earlier than that, in 2004, he became the director of the Integral Subtle Energies Center at Integral Institute. Simon has been teaching about the science and philosophy of subtle energies in relation to chiropractic history, philosophy, and science for several years. If you are interested in taking an online course on this topic, please let us know.

“Reading Dr. Senzon’s Trilogy (The Spiritual Writings of B J Palmer, The Secret History of Chiropractic, and Chiropractic Foundations) was like getting the class notes for the Green Books. Each volume is full of little known facts and thought provoking tidbits of history, our history. Something that well researched and written, must have been a labor of love.”

- Steve A. Jones, D.C., Chair of the KR Jones Philosophy Forum

During chiropractic school and for his first few years after graduation, Dr. Senzon was mentored by the late Ralph Boone, Ph.D., D.C. (1942-2010). Boone (pictured) helped Simon to refine his writing skills and bring out his ideas about early chiropractic philosophy and 20th century systems theory. This led to Simon’s first peer-reviewed publication and several other writings, courses, and lecture series.

Simon was first introduced to chiropractic as a young child covered with psoriasis. At age four, his parents drove him 45 minutes twice per week to
Dr. John Pagano, who followed the teachings of Edgar Cayce, the Sleeping Prophet. In the 1940s, Cayce would go into trance and dictate various approaches to health, healing, and disease. For psoriasis, the prescription was chiropractic along with a very pure diet (herbal teas, 80% fruits and vegetables, no sugar, no preservatives, no red meat, no white flour…). In four months, Simon’s young body was almost clear (see photo from Pagano’s book Healing Psoriasis). The power of the body to heal itself, the wonder of spiritual insight, and the chiropractic adjustment were each at Simon’s core.

In high school, after a painful automobile collision, where Simon’s head cracked the windshield, he was told that his cervical curve would never return. The fine chiropractors that worked with him through Simon’s college years, were focused on rehabilitation and the chiropractic adjustment.

Upon graduating from college, Simon started Network Care, a light touch approach to chiropractic that was known to produce powerful healing experiences. He soon observed over a period of several years, his life and the lives of his family were transformed. Chiropractic took on a new level of depth for Simon. After he finished his Masters degree in philosophy, he started Sherman College and studied to learn the art of chiropractic and the vital importance of vertebral subluxation correction. Dr. Senzon is in private practice in Asheville, NC for the last 10 years.

During his graduate work at Goddard College (and even prior to that during his undergraduate studies at the innovative Delta College program at SUNY Brockport), Simon studied the vitalistic and evolutionary philosophers alongside classical philosophy and history. His yearning to understand human evolution from the perspective of enlightenment and history fueled his passionate studies of philosophers such as Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Hegel, Darwin, Bergson, Teilhard de Chardin, amongst many others. Simon completed his MA thesis on the integration of Body, Mind, and Spirit by combining Eastern meditative traditions and Western psychology, with an emphasis on the works of Plato. Prior to this Simon explored the “evolution of evolutionary theories,” and researched for an entire year on a topic he called, “The Universal and Particular.” This was several years before he found the writings by the Palmers on Universal and Innate.
