Chiropractic History
The first chiropractic adjustment was delivered by the founder of chiropractic D.D. Palmer in 1895, which restored the hearing of chiropractic’s first patient Harvey Lillard. However, the art of removing subluxations has been present for thousands of years dating back to the Egyptian Times. Chiropractic is the largest drug free, non-invasive health care profession in the United States and has been endorsed by the federal government for the treatment of low back pain in adults. Chiropractic is a natural, safe, and effective form of health care.
What is a Subluxation?
A simple explanation of a subluxation is a spinal or extremity fixated joint that can interfere with neurological signaling. This type of neurological interference can lead to pain, disease, and decreased overall function. The universal excepted definition of a subluxation is a complex of structural, functional, or pathological articular changes that compromises the neural integrity and overall general health.
