CHIROPRACTIC IS A VIRGO: CELEBRATING FOUNDER'S DAY

Chiropractic is a Virgo.
Analytical. Helpful. Reliable. Precise. Aren't we lucky!

The first chiropractic adjustment was delivered on September 18th, 1895 in Davenport, Iowa by Dr. Daniel David Palmer. The chiropractic community continues to celebrate this occasion every year.

The first chiropractic patient, Harvey Lillard, responded well, regaining his hearing after the adjustment, and delivering the first chiropractic testimonial.

D.D. Palmer applied this first adjustment for the specific intent of realigning a malpositioned vertebra, restoring its normal position. Through the research, writings, and work of both D.D. and his son, B.J., chiropractic grew, and today millions of men, women, and children are helped daily by this natural approach to healing.

The foundations of chiropractic, including Innate Intelligence, Universal Forces, Subluxation, Dis-ease, and Interference, are detailed in "The 33 Principles of Chiropractic."
Principle #6 is one of the key elements of healing, and something I remind clients (and myself) of when appropriate:
The Principle of Time: There is no process that does not require time.

For anyone curious about the other 32 Principles, here's a link:

So many millions of people are being helped by chiropractic, this is a time to celebrate and count blessings: Relief, Relaxation, and Recovery are just some of the benefits of being well-adjusted.
Happy Birthday Chiropractic, many more!
