The first Chiropractic adjustment was delivered on September 18th, 1895 by Dr. D.D. Palmer in Davenport, Iowa. Dr. Palmer was taking care of a deaf janitor, Harvey Lilard, who had lost his hearing as a result of a fall down a staircase some 17 years earlier. Upon palpating Harvey’s spine Dr. Palmer discovered a “bump” indicating a misaligned vertebrae and he pushed on it. A popping like sound was heard and the bump was gone – Harvey’s hearing was restored.
Dr. Palmer continued to check spines of other people and within a short time he found that people with various health challenges who were seeking his care were healing from their ailments. Throughout time chiropractic continued to grow and develop.
Today, chiropractic education is vast and allows the doctor to specifically locate a condition called vertebral subluxation that can be putting serious stress on the nerve system. Stress on the nerve system can lead to injuries and reduced function causing a weak immune system resulting in disease. Subluxations are corrected via chiropractic adjustments.
There are more than 150 documented Chiropractic techniques. All techniques work. The most important thing is to find the right one for you. Today’s chiropractors are well versed with providing care to different sectors of the population. They range from those that focus on family practice, pregnant women, pediatrics, special need children and geriatric to the athletic injuries, auto and work injuries. There are those that focus on short-term care and those that provide corrective care and lifestyle advice. Subluxations interfere with the body’s expression of life. You feel their effects but often are unaware that they are there.
