A Brief History Of Chiropractic
The first recorded chiropractic
adjustment was performed on September
18, 1895, by Dr. Daniel David Palmer. His patient was Harvey
Lillard who was a janitor working in the same building as Dr.
Palmer in Davenport, IA. Mr. Lillard had
complained of hearing problems for over 17 years after falling
down a flight of stairs. Dr. Palmer examined his spine and
discovered a lump on Mr. Lillard's back. He suspected that a
vertebra might be out of place. Dr. Palmer then adjusted the
vertebra. After several treatments Mr. Lillard's hearing was
restored. The first patient was not treated for an ache or pain
but for a life changing condition.
