Celebrating 128 Years of Chiropractic Care:
A Tribute to D.D. and B.J. Palmer, Founders of Chiropractic
Today marks a significant milestone in the world of healthcare as we celebrate the 128th anniversary of the first chiropractic adjustment. On September 18th, 1895, D.D. Palmer performed a historic spinal adjustment on Harvey Lillard, a doorman in Palmer's building. This event laid the foundation for a unique and influential approach to healthcare that has since helped countless individuals worldwide.
The Birth of Chiropractic: A Pioneering Moment
D.D. Palmer's pioneering act in 1895 was more than just a single adjustment; it was the birth of a profession dedicated to improving health and well-being through the optimization of the nervous system. This event marked the beginning of chiropractic care, a holistic and drug-free approach to healing that focuses on the spine's role in maintaining overall health.
Chiropractic care has come a long way since its inception, thanks in large part to the contributions of D.D. Palmer's son, B.J. Palmer. Often referred to as the "Developer" of chiropractic, B.J. Palmer played a pivotal role in shaping and expanding the chiropractic profession. His dedication to research, education, and innovation elevated chiropractic care to new heights, ensuring its enduring impact on the world of healthcare.
