Do you know why this date is so special for me? It's the birthday of Chiropractic!
Dr. Palmer performed the first chiropractic adjustment to Harvey Lillard (a man who was completely deaf). While checking Mr. Lillard's spine, he felt that one of the spinal vertebrae was slightly out of its normal position. Because he had been studying the connection between the spine and the central nervous system, he knew that Harvey's spine needed to be corrected. Dr. Palmer gently adjusted the vertebra back into its normal position. At that moment, Harvey Lillard's hearing was restored.
Sound like hocus pocus? That's what most people thought in 1895.
With advancements in research and knowledge of the human body, we know that spinal misalignments (no matter how slight or severe) can have an effect on the central nervous system.
