On 18 September 1895, Dr. D.D. Palmer performed the first-ever chiropractic adjustment. This groundbreaking moment laid the foundation for a healthcare practice that has since transformed millions of lives worldwide. As we celebrate chiropractic’s birthday, it’s an opportunity to reflect on the profound impact even the smallest actions can have on the wellbeing of individuals and communities.
The Origins of Chiropractic Care
D.D. Palmer, the founder of chiropractic care, believed the human body has an innate ability to heal itself and that proper spinal alignment was key to this process. His first chiropractic adjustment was given to Harvey Lillard, who reported a significant improvement in his hearing afterwards. From this single adjustment, chiropractic care evolved into a holistic approach to health, emphasising spinal health, nervous system function, and overall wellbeing.
