As Chiropractic enters it’s second century of practice, it behooves each of us to ponder the question, “Why has chiropractic survived?” What is it that has enabled this profession, which had it’s beginnings in 1895 with a magnetic healer named D.D. Palmer, to not only survive but to thrive over the years and through today’s changing and difficult healthcare times?
What is it that has enabled chiropractic to withstand the blatant and organized opposition by the very powerful AMA to become the largest drugless, alternative, natural healthcare system in the U. S. today?
The answer lies in this, “Flexability and Inflexability”. Chiropractic has been flexible in it’s outer aspects while it has held true to the principle upon which it was founded.
Chiropractic’s founding principle and history is why it has such a stronghold on the natural healing mindset of Americans going into the 21st century.
On September 10,1895; Chiropractic’s founder, D.D. Palmer, was introduced to a deaf janitor, Harvey Lillard. Mr. Lillard expressed to Dr. Palmer that he had heard a popping sound in his neck, followed by a total loss of hearing. Dr. Palmer postulated that if Mr. Lillard could hear before the pop in his neck, the sound must have equated to an injury to one of the vertebra. Dr. Palmer touched his neck and found that a bone was sticking out of place. So he deduced, that this out of place bone could be putting pressure on the spinal chord, causing a blockage in the natural flow of life-giving brain messages. Dr. Palmer placed Mr. Lillard on a table and gave a gentle thrust into the area of the misplaced vertebra (subluxation). Miraculously, his hearing came back 100%.
This chiropractic principle of removing interferance, allowing the body’s inherant natural healing powers to move to and from the vital organs, glands, and muscles of the body; is called an adjustment. When this natural flow of electrical- chemical signals are unimpeded, the body is then able to communicate with the brain, and the brain to communicate with the body, allowing God’s natural laws to take over in the balance of the human body.
What has happened in our society over the last century is that we have decided that “man-made” laws are more organized and work better than the universal laws governed by our Creator, which were orchestrated through nature. So, this opened the door for “man-made” treatments of disease, instead of God’s natural blueprints for proper lifestyles and prevention of dis-ease.
