Chiropractic

General Info

Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the spine and nervous system and the effects of these disorders on general health. The healing roots or chiropractic trace back thousands of years to the Orient. Writings from China and Greece dating 2700 BC and 1500 BC mention spinal manipulation and maneuvering of the lower extremities to ease low back pain. Hippocrates, the Greek Physician, who lived form 460 to 357 BC also published tests dealing with the importance of “chiropractic” care with one of his writings stating “Get knowledge of the spine, for this is the requisite for many diseases.”

The modern development of chiropractic medicine in the United States traces to Daniel David Palmer who in the late 1800s re-discovered the benefits of manipulation for his patients. In 1895 he founded the chiropractic profession and later established a school, Palmer College of Chiropractic which is still educating the profession today. The educating of chiropractic has grown since that time with 17 other accredited colleges in the United States alone with additional colleges in Canada, England and Denmark among others.
