A Birthday Gift for the World
Chiropractic can be credited back to a natural healer, experimenter and freethinking Canadian by the name of Daniel David Palmer in Davenport, Iowa.
On September 18, 1895, D.D. Palmer delivered the first chiropractic adjustment. The recipient of that first adjustment was Harvey Lillard, the building janitor who had lost his hearing years earlier after bending over and hearing a popping sound in his spine.
After some shouting, combined with pantomime, Harvey allowed Palmer to use his hands to push a wayward spinal bone back into a more normal position. The result? Harvey’s hearing returned.
The conclusion? Nerve interference, caused by misaligned spinal vertebrae, can interfere with the proper functioning of the organs and tissues of our body. Today, 119 years later, our passion is to use the most advanced chiropractic techniques to help you live life to the fullest.
Happy birthday chiropractic! Please share this amazing gift with someone you think we can help.

Chiropractic Myth Busters
Myth: Chiropractors are strictly back pain specialists.
Fact: While chiropractors can help with back pain, relieving back pain is not our foundational purpose. Chiropractors help improve the body’s ability to heal itself by addressing the health of the nervous system.
A healthy nervous system helps other systems of the body function to their optimal level. This is done by adjusting misaligned spinal bones back into a more normal alignment.
Myth: If you don’t have pain, you don’t need to see a chiropractor.
Fact: Just because pain isn’t present in the body doesn’t mean a person doesn’t have a subluxation with presymptomatic nerve interference. (Like the early stages of tooth decay.)
