🎉 On September 18, 1895, chiropractic was born when D.D. Palmer delivered the first adjustment to Harvey Lillard, a janitor who had lost his hearing 17 years earlier. After feeling a “bump” in Lillard’s spine, Palmer performed an adjustment—and Lillard’s hearing began to improve.
This moment sparked the foundation of chiropractic: the idea that spinal misalignments can interfere with the nervous system and that correcting them can help restore the body’s natural ability to heal. 🧠✨
What started in a small office in Davenport, Iowa has grown into a global profession grounded in the power of the body to self-heal, self-regulate, and thrive—without drugs or surgery. 🌍💪🏼
