History Of Chiropractic

In 1895 Daniel David Palmer, the founder of chiropractic treatment helped to improve the hearing to a deaf man by adjusting one of his vertebrae that he felt was “out of place”. As a result of this healing, Palmer he thought that many other health problems could be associated with abnormal spine movement.

He theorized that these abnormalities, he called subluxations, could impede the nerve impulses and prevent the vital energy from circulating well through the body. It was on this basis, that he founded the very first school of chiropractic in 1897 called The Palmer School and Cure, to teach this new art of healing to others.

The foundation of chiropractic principles is based on the following scientific fact: the nervous system imposes its control on all cells, tissues, organs and systems of the body. If this balance is impaired, a disturbance of the nervous system may cause health problems. Chiropractic treatment focuses on the treatment of the nervous system to not only help relieve pain but to improve balance and stability as well as improve the quality of health.

Our doctors use this functional and holistic approach to target interventions specific to the location of the dysfunction.
