The word chiropractic stems from the Greek words cheir and prakticos, which mean hand and practitioner or skillful use respectively. Therefore, a chiropractor is a practitioner that skillfully uses their hands. This term is developed by the modern founder of chiropractic, D.D. Palmer.

In 1895, a man named Daniel David Palmer, a magnetic healer from Davenport, IA, was working in his office when the maintenance person, Harvey Lillard came in. Harvey had been deaf for the last 17 years, following an accident in which he heard a pop in his back. Since then his hearing has become progressively worse.

After an examination by D.D., a hard lump was felt near Harvey’s spine. He found that the bones were not moving properly with each other. So, D.D. placed his hands on his spine and trusted the bone back into place, restoring proper motion between the two segments.

After his adjustment Harvey was able to hear the wagons on the cobblestone street. After only three days Harvey’s hearing was fully restored. D.D. later called this type of healing Chiropractic.

 

Chiropractic is included in Medicare, Medicaid, Federal Employees Health Care Benefits Programs, Federal Workers Compensation and all state workers compensation programs.
