Chiropractic began September 18, 1895 in Davenport, Iowa. A janitor by the name of Harvey Lillard had been partially deaf for 17 years. Mr. Lillard had felt something give-way in his back while bending over. He lost his hearing that very moment. Mr. Lillard discussed his problem with Daniel David (D.D.) Palmer, the developer of Chiropractic. It was then that D.D. reasoned that realigning the spine may help restore Harvey's hearing. His hearing returned as soon as D.D. Palmer performed a specific chiropractic adjustment to Harvey. This was the birth of Chiropractic, one of the greatest healing professions. Since the day of that first miraculous chiropractic adjustment, the chiropractic profession has helped millions of people become healthier.

What is the purpose of Chiropractic and how can it benefit every member of your family?

Doctors of Chiropractic are the only health care specialists trained and certified to detect and correct Vertebral Subluxations in the spinal column with specific spinal adjustments. 

What are Subluxations?

Subluxations are simply defined as misalignments of vertebrae in the spinal column which causes pressure upon the spinal nerves. This decreases the brain's ability to properly communicate to the organs and muscles of the body. Subluxations are caused by physical traumas (exercising, auto accidents, birth trauma, etc.), emotional stress, and chemical stress (smoking, drinking, poor diet, environment toxins, etc.). Subluxations can be found in newborns to seniors which is exactly why anyone of any age should be checked for subluxations and treated with specific chiropractic adjustments.
