Brief history about chiropractic and how it has developed into the largest natural healing profession in the world. The first chiropractic patient, a janitor by the name of Harvey Lillard, had explained to D.D. Palmer that 17 years prior he had heard a loud "pop" and felt a shift in his spine while lifting a heavy weight in a stooped position. Following this injury, Mr. Lillard reported that his hearing was nearly completely lost.
D.D. Palmer examined the area of the spine that had shifted and noted that a large deviation of one particular bone of the spine was present. Using his extensive knowledge of human anatomy and the power of deductive reasoning, Palmer concluded that the misalignment of the vertebra could be causing interference with the nerves responsible for hearing.
Palmer explained his theory to Mr. Lillard who then gave him permission to deliver a specific adjustment to the misplaced vertebra in an attempt to restore the bone's natural position. Within days of this adjustment, Mr. Lillard reported that his hearing was almost completely restored.
