What is Chiropractic? What is the education entail? How do you
choose a Chiropractor?
Chiropractic comes from the Greek word meaning treating with the hands. In
the United States it started in 1895 in Davenport, Iowa. Dr. Daniel David
Palmer discovered that a subluxation when repositioned could restore
hearing.
That is how he helped Harvey Lillard his deaf janitor. It was a remarkable
technique and he then started to teach Medical and Osteopath Doctors
what he had discovered. He developed theories about the vertebrae and the
relationship to the nervous system.
BJ Palmer, son of Daniel David,
continued the development of his father's theories and the teachings.
Chiropractic has grown as a healing art thru-out the 50 states. The
philosophy of Chiropractic emphasizes on the body, mind and spirit concept.
