What is Chiropractic?

Founded in 1895

D.D. Palmer founded Chiropractic over 100 years ago in Davenport, Iowa. Concerned with the alignment of the spine, Palmer used manual manipulation of the vertebrae to correct subluxations (spinal misalignments) in his patients. He found that when the spine is misaligned, it creates a strain on the nervous system, which when alleviated, promotes an increase in full-body function along with a decrease in pain and inflammation.

Treating the Cause

Thomas Edison said, “The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will instruct his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cure & prevention of disease.”

Chiropractic helps the body heal itself by treating the cause of dysfunction through adjustments of the spine instead of merely masking the symptoms.
