September 18th, An Important
Date in History
September 18th is a significant date for all Doctors of
chiropractic as this date marks the anniversary of the
discovery of chiropractic. It was 105 years ago this
Sept 18th in 1895, that DD Palmer, a self educated
magnetic healer who himself was born on March 7, 1845,
made the discovery of Chiropractic.
The first chiropractic patient was Harvey Lillard. He
had been deaf for about seventeen years after allegedly
falling down and noticing a bump in his back and the
simultaneous loss of his hearing. The second patient had
heart trouble and both patients had their health
restored through chiropractic adjustments. This event
took place in the heartland of American in Davenport
Iowa, along the banks of the Mississippi river.
Today there are over 60,000 Doctors of Chiropractic
practicing world wide. Tens of millions of people around
the globe benefit from chiropractic each year.
Chiropractic is now the second largest non-medical form
of health care today. And both the numbers of
chiropractors, as well of the numbers of chiropractic
patients continues to grow.
So lets all remember the humble beginnings the great
profession of chiropractic started with and wish it a
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
