HISTORY

The first Chiropractic adjustment was given in Davenport, Iowa on September 18, 1895 by Dr. Daniel David Palmer or “D.D. Palmer”.  D.D. Palmer is known as the “Founder of Chiropractic”.  His first adjustment was given to Harvey Lillard who had been deaf for 17 years due to nerve interference.  Days after the adjustment Harvey Lillard’s hearing began to return.  This was the birth of a wonderful profession that would help the lives of thousands to come.  Chiropractic did not start with back pain and neck pain and it should never be limited to such a small scope when it offers so much more to so many people.

In 1897, D.D. Palmer started Palmer School of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa.  In 1902, D.D.’s son B.J. Palmer graduated from Palmer and became known as the “Developer” of Chiropractic.  B.J. Palmer was very instrumental in bringing this new profession to the awareness of thousands.  At this present time there are over 60,000 Chiropractors throughout the world in just 100 years from the very first chiropractic adjustment.
