History of Chiropractic


Chiropractic is a healthcare profession founded in 1895 by DD Palmer after he performed the first chiropractic adjustment on a partially deaf janitor. Early chiropractic philosophy was based on vitalism, naturalism, magnetism, and spiritualism.


Currently, there are about 100 chiropractic techniques that aim to restore optimal function to the human body by correcting spinal subluxations and stress to the nervous system. Chiropractic focuses on promoting overall wellness and balance to help individuals achieve happier and healthier lives.
