Modern chiropractic began in 1895 when Dr. D. D. Palmer performed the first chiropractic "spinal adjustment" on his deaf janitor. Harvey Lillard's hearing returned and Palmer thought he had discovered a cure for deafness. But as patients with digestive troubles, sciatica, menstrual troubles, migraine headaches, epilepsy, heart problems, back pain and many other conditions responded well to spinal care, Palmer realized that he had discovered something more far-reaching indeed. Palmer also realized that his discovery was not new, as he wrote: "I am not the first person to replace subluxated vertebrae, for this art has been practiced for thousands of years."

Like Palmer, today's Doctor of chiropractic locates and removes a severe form of spine and nerve stress, a condition that puts pressure on nerves, unbalances your body, lowers your resistance to disease and weakens you: the vertebral subluxation complex. We invite you to learn more about these and other health conditions that your doctor can help you with starting today!
