History of Chiropractic Care

Although chiropractic techniques are commonly used today, they are rooted deep within our world history.   Some of the earliest writings in the history of recorded time mention using spinal manipulation to relieve lower back pain.  These techniques are mentioned in ancient Greek and Chinese writings dating as far back as 2700 B.C.  During Hippocrates life, 460 to 357 B.C., he published texts on the importance of chiropractic care in preventing disease.


The history of chiropractic care in the United States doesn’t begin until 1895, when Daniel David Palmer founded the profession by merging science and metaphysics.  Daniel David Palmer spread knowledge of chiropractic care techniques by founding the Palmer School of Chiropractic, a college that continues to be one of the most prominent chiropractic schools in the nation.  Now, doctors of chiropractic have gained legal recognition throughout the United States and are proven leaders in non-invasive healthcare.


Chiropractic care continues to grow and gain support as a cost-effective means of caring for your overall health.  I encourage patients to visit my practice and learn more about how the chiropractic techniques that can be traced throughout history can help you find lasting relief and wellness.
