HISTORY
The writings of Hippocrates (460-370 B.C.),
Galen (130-200 A.D.),
and even
ancient manuscripts
of the Egyptians, Hindus, and Chinese
reveal some principles
common to chiropractic. Its place in
modern health care is
largely attributed
to Dr. Daniel David Palmer,
who founded
the first chiropractic college
in
Davenport, Iowa, in 1895.
In the late 1800s, Dr. D.D. Palmer was a healer and a teacher
trying to understand
the cause and effect of disease. His first
chiropractic adjustment was performed
in 1895 on a man who
was deaf. The loss of hearing was associated with his back
"giving out" while working several years prior to meeting up
with
Dr. Palmer. Dr. Palmer was able to restore his hearing
by realigning the man's
spine.
The second such adjustment provided relief for another patient who was suffering from heart trouble. Dr. D.D. Palmer theorized that "if two diseases, so dissimilar as deafness and heart trouble, came from impingement, a pressure on nerves, were not other diseases due to a similar cause?"
He began developing his adjustment techniques and was soon
getting results
with
many different conditions, from colic to ear
infections to headaches.
Dr. Palmer went
on to found the
Palmer School of Chiropractic in Iowa. Because
of its success in
healing, the new profession grew quickly.
All 50 states and many countries recognize chiropractic as a
health-care profession.
Today, there are more than 50,000 chiropractors
in the United States alone,
and
there are 26 chiropractic colleges worldwide.
Chiropractic is one of health
care's
fastest-growing fields simply because
it's safe, natural, drugless, non-invasive,
and effective.

Patient Testimonial
I've suffered from lower back pain and all I took was pain medication which did not help me. I found Dr. Luke and he corrected the problem. I learned that I've only been dealing with the symptoms and not the cause. So with chiropractic care, not only my lower back feels so much better but also improved my overall health. I am able to continue my line dancing which I love to do. My advice is that don't wait too long to get your spine checked. Take care of your health that you may enjoy life to the fullest.
