🎉 130 years ago today, a single adjustment changed the course of history.
Doctors and researchers had long wondered: Why does one person fall ill while another person with a similar lifestyle stays well? D.D. Palmer found an answer on September 18th, 1895 when he met Harvey Lillard, a janitor who had lost his hearing after feeling a “pop” in his back years earlier.
Palmer examined his spine and found a misalignment reducing nerve flow, which we now call a subluxation. With a precise adjustment👐, Harvey’s hearing began to return.
That moment revealed something powerful: interference in the spine can affect the body in profound ways. Remove the interference, and the body can function — and even heal — as it was designed.
🌍 This was the birth of chiropractic. Not just pain relief, but a new understanding of health rooted in the body’s own ability to heal itself.💪
Then D.D. Palmer's son, B.J., became the Developper of Chiropractic, making the profession what it is today. He also became the Founder of the International Chiropractic Association! 💜💜💜
