Chiropractic started as a hunch 100 years ago, when Harvey Lillard heard a "pop" in his neck after which there was a rapid deterioration in his hearing.  His employer, Daniel David Palmer, a magnetic healer, recognized the relationship of spinal displacement and the reduced function of the nervous system.

Palmer started magnetic healing in a conventional manner by using the energy from his hands to charge up a patient , sort of like a weak car battery would get a trickle charge and start. Though Lillard, Palmer was on a new track - with a new way to look at the energetic problem of healing and health. Palmer began his study of the spine. Eventually, he levered the spinal bone back into position and freed the full nerve flow to the body. "Voila", he accidentally discovered how to jump start healing in the body.

Chiropractic was born.

Chiropractic and its leaders changed with the times towards mainstream acceptance and worldwide use. The principles of this distinct healing method are still the same as they were 100 years ago. Essentially, the body is a self healing organism. The structure of anything determines how it will function. The nervous system controls and coordinates every organ and tissue of the body. There is a relationship between the spine and the health of the nervous system. Find the blockage and eliminate it and the body will move back toward health.
