History of Chiropractic

History of Chiropractic

Every great society utilized spinal manipulation as part of their healing arts.  These photos are of the heart of the Inca Empire, Machu Picchu.  Long before Columbus, Native Americans aligned the spine with miraculous results.

Chiropractic is unique in its refinement of this great healing tradition.  In 1895 Dr. Daniel Palmer recognized the relationship between spinal alignment, the nervous system and health.  Although he was not the first to align the spine, he was first to discover that removing pressure from the nervous system through spinal “adjustments” is a prerequisite for total health.  Later, his son developed this art of delivering adjustments.  The chiropractic adjustment is a modern scientific refinement of time honored healing practices.
