Chiropractic History

Chiropractic history began in 1895, founded by Daniel David Palmer in Iowa. Palmer also created a chiropractic school in 1897. Palmer first tried his studies on a janitor, Harvey Lillard, who was deaf. A few days later he went to Daniel saying that his hearing seemed better.

Chiropractic is an alternative health care discipline and profession that emphasizes diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Displacement of the spine can cause iritation in the back or spinal area.

What is a musculoskeletal system (also known as the locomotor system) is an organ system that gives animals and humans the ability to move using the muscular and skeletal systems. The musculoskeletal system provides form, support, stability, and movement to the entire body. Primary functions include supporting the body, allowing motion, and protecting vital organs.
