The beginning of Chiropractic Dr. Daniel David Palmer applied the first chiropractic adjustment on September 18, 1895. Dr. Palmer deduced that the bones in Lillard's spine were misaligned, and thus pinching nerves related to his hearing. After several adjustments the knot in Lillard's spine was reduced and his hearing was restored and chiropractic was born. The Philosophy of chiropractic was developed around a philosophy which recognizes the body's ability to heal itself. Chiropractor do not treat disease, instead we focus on removing the interference's which keep the body from functioning properly.
Chiropractors remove the cause of improper function, as opposed to treating the effect.
