History
Did you know that chiropractic dates back to the time of
Hippocrates? He believed that if the spine was misaligned, it
greatly contributed to the health of an individual.
The modern day school of chiropractic dates back to 1895, when
Dr. Daniel Palmer adjusted a man that had lost his hearing 17
years prior. The story goes that prior to losing his hearing the
man had heard something pop in his back. Upon the adjustment of
the man's misaligned vertebrae his hearing greatly improved.
While the medical community criticized this new technique for
healing the body, the people who followed in these footsteps
found an amazing new way of dealing with illness and disease.
Dr. Palmer's theories are still discussed in the chiropractic
industry today. Without this man's input into medicine in a time
where he was greatly discredited, the millions of people today
who enjoy the life changing benefits may never have had this
opportunity. There is still a school named after Dr. Daniel
Palmer as well as over 20 schools and thousands of chiropractic
students across the country.
