Happy birthday, Chiropractic!

Chiropractic was founded on September 18, 1895 by Daniel David Palmer.

The very first chiropractic adjustment was a slight spinal adjustment of a deaf janitor, Harvey Lillard. Following the adjusment, Lillard stated that he began to regain his hearing. A few months after the adjustment, his hearing had fully returned! Just two years later in 1897, Dr. Palmer opened the Palmer School of Chiropractic.

Now, Chiropractic is practiced all over the world!
