What is Chiropractic?
D.D. Palmer
Father of Chiropractic
Chiropractic was founded by Daniel David Palmer in 1895. Palmer, performed the first Chiropractic adjustment on a janitor named Harvey Lillard, who had lost his hearing. Palmer believed that Lillard's hearing loss was due to a misaligned vertebra, and after adjusting it, Lillard reportedly regained his hearing. This event marked the beginning of Chiropractic as a distinct healthcare discipline. Chiropractic care encompasses a blend of science, art, and philosophy in its practice.
It is a unique healthcare practice that focuses on restoring the function and communication of your spinal nerves through specific adjustments. Our nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and spinal nerves, controls every function in our bodies. These nerves exit from the vertebrae in our spine. When the spine becomes misaligned, it can put pressure on these nerves, causing a condition known as subluxation.
Subluxations often lead to nerve interference, preventing the spinal nerves from effectively communicating with the rest of the body. This can result in dysfunction, pain, and even disease. In our office, we use advanced chiropractic techniques to locate, analyze, and correct these subluxations, allowing your nervous system to function as it was intended.
Principled, neurologically-based chiropractic care aims to restore proper communication throughout the nervous system, focusing not just on pain relief but on overall health and function. While we certainly care about alleviating your pain, our primary goal is to ensure your body is functioning at its best, addressing the root cause of your problems rather than merely masking symptoms with temporary relief.
