Brief History of Chiropractic

The first Chiropractic adjustment was performed on September 18, 1895 by Dr. Daniel David Palmer, who at the time was studying the cause and effect of disease. His patient was Harvey Lillard, a deaf janitor whose hearing problems had ailed him for seventeen years. Dr. Palmer examined Lillard's spine and discovered a "lump" on his back. Suspecting that a vertebra was out of place, he applied a gentle thrust to reposition the spine. After several treatments, Harvey Lillard's hearing was restored. This was the birth of Chiropractic. Since then, the art and science of Chiropractic has progressed. Today, with advanced diagnostic procedures, sophisticated equipment, scientific research, and the
growing acceptance among other health care professionals, Chiropractic has become a popular health care choice.

Chiropractic Philosophy

At the core of Chiropractic philosophy is the belief that the body can heal itself. There are two main concepts that form the base of Chiropractic philosophy:

• The structure and condition of the body influence how the body can heal itself.
• The mind-body relationship is instrumental in maintaining the body's
  health and in the healing process. By seeking to maintain the body's optimal condition, Chiropractic enables the natural healing process to occur.
