Chiropractic was ‘discovered’ in 1895 by D.D. Palmer in Davenport, Iowa. He hypothesized that a man who had been injured in his spine (Harvey Lillard) may have lost his hearing as a result of nerve pressure leading to his ears. An adjustment to the spine restored the man’s hearing leading to the first chiropractic school (Palmer School of Chiropractic) which paved the way for the evolution of its training and the profession of Chiropractic as we know it today.
