Discoverer of Chiropractic
Chiropractic therapy was founded in 1895 by an American magnetic healer ‘DD Palmer’. In his building where he worked there was a janitor who complained he was hard of hearing. DD Palmer performed an adjustment on the man’s spine, and, in a miraculous feat, cured him of profound deafness.
Palmer hypothesized that aligning the spine unblocks nerve flow through the body and restored the man’s hearing. From this, he proposed that a misaligned spine was the cause of virtually all human ailments.
