Intro to Drugless Healing – What Put Chiropractic On the Map

What put chiropractic on the map? Chiropractic is an interesting subject, and also a relatively new healing method. There is nothing more interesting to me than drugless healing. Did you know that Chiropractic is the largest drugless healing method in the world?

Many people go to chiropractors, but many others still have not experienced this method of healing. In this blog post I would like to discuss a little bit about the history of chiropractic. How did it become so successful and well-known?

The first chiropractic patient was cured of his deafness in 1895 by the first chiropractor, D.D. Palmer. You can read his story here.

After that Dr. Palmer began to train others, and the chiropractic method began to spread. People began to report amazing recoveries and results.

But what really put chiropractic on the map is its incredible successc treating influenza patients during the Epidemic of 1918. Take a look at chiropractic’s great statistics helping influenza patients in this link.

Chiropractic remains one of the safest, most effective methods of health care. And chiropractic is not just for neck and back pain. Did you know, we have seen patients get well from infertility, bladder infections, carpal tunnel, insomnia, and have even stopped smoking, just from getting adjusted?
