This month we’re celebrating Chiropractic Founders Day (18 September), also known as Chiropractor Day or Chiropractic Day for short. It was on this day in 1895 that D.D. Palmer, the visionary founder of chiropractic, performed the first chiropractic adjustment, giving birth to a profession that has transformed the health and lives of millions. D.D. Palmer’s first chiropractic adjustment, performed on Harvey Lillard, a man who had suffered hearing loss, sparked the development of a revolutionary approach to healthcare. By adjusting Lillard’s misaligned vertebra, Palmer restored his hearing. Palmer believed that spinal health was integral to the body’s ability to heal itself and that proper alignment of the spine could correct a wide range of health issues. This philosophy remains at the heart of chiropractic today, with chiropractors worldwide dedicated to promoting health and healing from the body itself.
This month, Leah and Sam will talk about our experience as a chiropractor, successful patient stories and some misconceptions about chiropractic care. We will also have some in-clinic activities to celebrate the day.
