About Chiropractic Modern Chiropractic was founded in 1895 in Davenport, Iowa by D.D. Palmer.  It has grown into the largest health care delivery system outside of western medicine. Chiropractic recognizes that without interference your body has the ability to maintain itself in a health state.  If an interference occurs, removing it will allow your body the chance to return to this healthy state.

Chiropractors are trained to look for small
misalignments in your spine that may cause
an adverse effect on your nervous system.  
These misalignments are called subluxations
and they interfere with your ability to live with
optimum health.

Since the nervous system is the master
controller of the body, controlling virtually
every cell in your body, it is easy to see the
importance of keeping this system working
properly.

Subluxations can go unnoticed by a person
or can cause symptoms such as pain,
swelling and stiffness.  Most importantly, they
almost always cause dysfunction in the
tissue that is being controlled by the nerve
coming from the area of subluxation.
