The Big Idea of Chiropractic
The 1st Chiropractic Adjustment
Over 100 years ago, D.D. Palmer (the Founder of chiropractic and Palmer College of Chiropractic) had a "big idea" - the idea that good health can be sustained naturally, without drugs or surgery, through chiropractic care. Today, chiropractic is the second largest licensed health care profession.
Chiropractors use a natural, drugless, non-surgical approach and rely on the body's ability to heal itself. Like other health practitioners, chiropractors follow a standard routine to secure the information needed to determine how to care for their patients. They take the patient's medical history; conduct physical, neurological and orthopedic examinations; and may order X-rays.
Chiropractic Quick Facts
Spinal manipulations have been traced back to the times of Hippocrates.
The first chiropractic Adjustment was given by D.D. Palmer in 1895.
An estimated 19.5 million people visit doctors of chiropractic in the United States each year. Chiropractic is wellness care.
While chiropractors assist many people who have suffered injuries or have been involved in car accidents, chiropractic care is concerned with the patient's overall well-being and promotion of good health.
The History of Chiropractic
The first recorded chiropractic Adjustment was performed on September 18, 1895, more than 100 years ago, by Dr. Daniel David Palmer, a teacher and healer who was born in Port Perry, Ontario. At the time, Dr. Palmer was trying to understand the cause and effect of disease. The patient, Harvey Lillard, was a janitor working in the same building as Dr. Palmer in Davenport, Iowa. Mr. Lillard had been complaining of hearing problems for over 17 years. He allowed Dr. Palmer to examine his spine to see if anything could be done. Dr. Palmer discovered a "lump" on Mr. Lillard's back and suspected that a vertebra might be out of "alignment" and "pinching" a nerve going to Mr. Lillard's ears. With an admittedly unrefined chiropractic technique, Dr. Palmer adjusted the vertebra with a gentle thrust. After several such treatments, much of Mr. Lillard's hearing was restored.
