Chiropractic Care For All
We truly believe that chiropractic care can benefit everyone. Deeply rooted in the philosophy that adjustments help the body heal itself, this low-risk high-reward approach can lead to patients feeling better than they ever thought possible. Let us dive into a few facets of chiropractic that lend to its approachability.
First off, chiropractic is one of the oldest healing professions. Spinal manipulation has been practiced for thousands of years, tracing its roots back to ancient China and Greece. Formal chiropractic care was founded by Daniel David Palmer in 1895 in Davenport, Iowa. His first formal chiropractic adjustment was performed on a janitor named Harvey Lillard, who claimed to have his hearing restored after the adjustment.
Since its development, chiropractic care has become popular among a diverse group of people, including young children, elderly individuals, and those seeking alternative treatments for pain management. Certain professions cite chiropractic care as beneficial to their performance. For example, NASA astronauts undergo adjustments to help maintain their spinal health in the weightlessness of space. Even celebrities like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Madonna have endorsed chiropractic treatments. They are just two of the over 35 million Americans estimated to visit a chiropractor each year. As such, chiropractic is one of the fastest-growing healthcare professions, with over 70,000 practitioners in the United States alone.
Beyond the millions of Americans receiving chiropractic care annually, our four-legged friends are also able to receive chiropractic treatment. There are specially trained animal chiropractors who adjust pets, horses, and other animals to help with their musculoskeletal issues. Videos can be found online of different animal species being adjusted and the relief post-treatment being very evident.
From old to young, astronaut to Clydesdale, chiropractic treatment can enhance wellness and quality of life for everyone. We are proud to work in such a rewarding profession and help people achieve things they previously thought impossible.
