History of Chiropractic
Chiropractic care has been around in some form for a very long time, but the profession as an individual form of distinct and unique healthcare is over 100 years old. It has constantly evolved and improved in the past century-plus to ensure that patients get the very best care available to live a long and healthy life. Here’s a look at the history of the holistic, non-invasive and whole body approach to wellness and health that we know as chiropractic care.
The Origins and History of Chiropractic Care
Dr. Palmer’s daughter-in-law, Mabel Heath Palmer, carried the science forward and became the first female chiropractor in 1905, her son David later picking up the torch and carrying the legacy forward. The Palmer School of Chiropractic was later founded and helped to pave the way for many new chiropractors to learn their science and hone their skills. Today, dozens of chiropractic schools exist across the United States.
The Evolution of Chiropractic Care
Where once, chiropractic relied upon touch and feel to diagnose problems, we now have advanced diagnostic tools and assessment protocols that allow us to pinpoint the exact vector or direction of vertebral misalignment. We also have specialized equipment that allows for precise adjustment of spinal problems to augment the traditional manual hands-on approach.
The Benefits of Chiropractic Care
Everyone from newborns to the elderly can benefit from regular chiropractic care, including addressing symptoms like headaches, back and neck pain, stiffness, joint pain, mood swings and a range of other disorders, some of which you may not even realize come from a spinal subluxation. A chiropractor, through gentle, non-invasive, hands-on and instrument-based techniques can alleviate your pain and get you back to a lifetime of health and wellness.
