STORY TIME How did chiropractic get started? #Chiropractic was born in Davenport, Iowa on September 18th 1895. A man by the name of DD Palmer operated an office on the corner of Second and Brady Street in the downtown sector. He was a healer, teacher and philosopher. Dr. Palmer met the janitor who worked in his building and learned that the janitor was deaf.... This janitor was a gentleman by the name of Harvey Lillard. Upon a thorough evaluation and very loud questioning, Harvey explained to Dr. Palmer that he had lost most of his hearing 17 years earlier when he was bending over and felt a pop in his upper back. Dr. Palmer examined the area and noticed a bump which he determined to be a spinal vertebrae out of position. It seemed that Harvey noticed this bump right after he lost his hearing. Having a working knowledge of anatomy and physiology, Dr. Palmer convinced Harvey to allow him to try to fix it by pushing the bone back into place. History is uncertain as to whether or not it was one or several visits, but the result was this adjustment restored Harvey’s hearing back. Because of this DD Palmer first thought he had found the cure for deafness. On subsequent patients with a variety of problems he found spinal bones also out of position and worked to push them back into place as well. Some of these people were deaf, many were sick with other health problems. Palmer proceeded to push the misaligned spinal bones back into place, expecting to help those who were deaf regain their hearing, as had happened with Harvey Lillard. And yet some who were deaf and sick returned to a state of #health. It was at that point that DD Palmer realized that he may not have found the cure to deafness, he found what he believed to be the fundamental underlying cause of most if not all health problems, the Vertebral Subluxation. Classically known as the bone out of place squashing a nerve, time and science showed this had a huge effect on the entire nervous system and the health of one’s body. DD Palmer practiced this new method correcting spinal misalignments to allow people to heal naturally. His practice grew and the profession of Chiropractic was born

Chiropractic has discovered something... That you were designed to be well, and designed well. We discovered that our bodies were designed intelligently. Therefore, my role as a chiropractor, is to support everyone who comes through my doors, to live that best possible life. ... So I will remove all things that interfere with you being able to express your full potential. That's my role

Find a ledge, do a stretch. This is something that my dad use to do EVERY CHANCE he got. Walking in park? Stop and stretch on a bench. Riding the escalator? Leg up on the hand rail Waiting in line? Up the leg goes.... To be honest in was a bit embarrassing when we were teens. However, he drilled a habit into me and now I do it as much as I can. You can target the hamstrings very nicely with this simple stretch, after all, they are one of your tightest muscles in the body. AND DON’T LET MY HEIGHT FOOL YOU Find a proper height that works best for your body. Push the heel down to increase the stretch. Turn your opposite hip towards the leg being stretch and you’ll feel it in the gluts. Turn your opposite hip away from the leg and you’ll feel it into the adductors. Like getting under chiropractic care, some people believe they just don’t have the time to do the things their health needs. In the end, it’s not about time, it is about commitment for your health. NOT a reason to procrastinate. Be it a stretch, a gym session, a good home cooked meal, or a chiropractic adjustment, you can find the time for your health. Your body will thank you And I thank my Dad for drilling a healthy lifestyle into my head.

When someone loses their health, they lose their identity, because they can no longer do the things they love that makes them Them. Don't ever lose what defines you...
