This article, provided by the Garnet Valley personal injury attorneys at Justice Guardians, will discuss the history of chiropractic care, how chiropractic care can benefit patients and local chiropractors in the area.
The reality is that some form of spinal and muscle manipulation has existed in the medical world for thousands of years. However, the founder of the term and the first school of chiropractic care was Daniel David Palmer. Palmer became interested in the musculoskeletal system and how it connected the body after helping his janitor by correcting a knot in his back.
The janitor told Palmer after the adjustment that not only had his back pain improved, but his hearing had also improved. This caused Palmer to believe that spinal adjustments could benefit nearly any patient with any type of medical condition. He opened the Palmer School of Chiropractic in 1887.
Several decades later, Kansas became the first state to recognize chiropractic care as a form of medicine and to require licensing tests. Today, there are nearly 7,000 practitioners in the United States.
Chiropractic care helps by improving the overall connection in the body. This can result in:
A chiropractor should go over the treatments they believe are best for a patient during their initial consultation. These treatments will vary from person to person and are based on their medical history and actual injuries.
No, chiropractors believe in drugless medicine and do not write prescriptions.
