Many chiropractors are perplexed as to why
chiropractic has become associated with bad backs, stiff necks and
other musculoskeletal problems.
The first chiropractic
patient was deaf and he, in fact, did not even go to the chiropractor
for his deafness. (Since chiropractic had not yet been discovered
there were obviously no chiropractors at the time).
The
patient's name was Harvey Lillard and he was the janitor in the
office building where Dr. D.D. Palmer had his office. Dr. Palmer was
a drugless healer, what we call an "alternative health-care
practitioner" today.
Palmer theorized that the bump in
Lillard's neck that had appeared when he became deaf was a bone out
of place and if it could be put back in place, the janitor's hearing
might be restored. The rest is history.
What happened on
that September day in 1895? D.D. Palmer did not cure deafness.
Although the janitor's hearing was restored, Palmer had simply
corrected a vertebral subluxation (even though it was not yet called
that).
In correcting the subluxation, he allowed the innate
intelligence of the body to normalize the function of the nerve
system and the result was that Lillard's body healed itself of a
hearing problem.
For the last 121 years, thousands of
chiropractors have been doing the same thing to millions of people,
that is, removing the interference to allow the innate intelligence
to better express itself.
Some of those patients have had
medical problems, from a very minor ailment like the common cold to
something very serious like terminal cancer. Some of them got well
and some did not. It was not because chiropractic succeeds in some
people and fails in others.
The objective of chiropractic is
only to correct the nerve interference. Only the living body heals
itself.
Sometimes it can, sometimes it cannot. However, the
body is always more capable of healing without the nerve interference
caused by a vertebral subluxation.
As a result of those
millions of adjustments, some children did better in school, some
were better athletes, and some grew into more productive adults.
Some probably were able to get into better colleges and some
probably got better jobs because the mind thinks and the body works
better with a good nerve supply.
As adults, some of those
people probably lived longer, healthier lives. Some of them were able
to work better, miss less work, and reduce injuries. Some of the
women undoubtedly had healthier pregnancies and gave birth to
healthier children.
All of them were able to fulfill more of
their potential in every aspect of their lives because of their
adjustments.
You see, when the body is free of nerve
interference, every organ, gland and cell works better. The body's
chemistry is more perfectly balanced and the body has more life
giving energy to do everything it was intended to do. Chiropractic
impacts every aspect of the life of every person who receives care.
How is it then that so many people think chiropractic is just
for bad backs and stiff necks? How is it that the average person does
not know that it is not about your back, it is about your life?
