Happy 130th Birthday Chiropractic!
On September 18, 1895, D.D. Palmer performed the first chiropractic adjustment on Harvey Lillard in Davenport, Iowa and the chiropractic profession was born!

🎉✨ Happy 130th Birthday to Chiropractic! ✨🎉
On this day, we celebrate 130 years of healing, innovation, and natural care since the very first chiropractic adjustment in 1895. What started as a single adjustment has grown into a global movement that has helped millions live healthier, pain-free lives.
To all the chiropractors dedicated to improving health, mobility, and overall well-being—thank you for your passion and commitment.
Here’s to honoring the roots, celebrating the journey, and embracing the future of chiropractic care.
🥳🎂

Dr. Heidi Haavik is Brilliant. Dr. Fuhr is always interesting.
"The mechanism? High-velocity, low-amplitude thrusts (whether from Activator instruments or manual techniques) stretch deep spinal muscles that have become atrophied around dysfunctional segments. These muscles play a crucial role in proprioception - your brain's awareness of body position. When they're not communicating properly, your brain operates on an incomplete "story" about what's happening in your body, potentially leading to countless downstream effects.

This explains why chiropractic benefits extend far beyond pain relief. Recent clinical trials reveal improvements in fatigue, anxiety, depression, and even how the brain processes sensory information like sound and visual input. Perhaps most remarkable are multiple studies showing significant rehabilitation benefits for chronic stroke survivors - an ironic development for a profession once wrongly accused of causing strokes."

The connection between your spine and brain is far more profound than conventional medicine has recognized. In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Heidi Haavi...

So many people ask me about pillows. I recommend these. Fully customizable. Thick or thin, you can change your mind every evening and try a new height combo. 4 layers of differing thicknesses.

High Velocity, Low Amplitude
Is the thrust made by an Activator instrument not hands on techniques. The pic is misleading but, the article is accurate.

NEW LITERATURE REVIEW HIGHLIGHTS HVLA IMPACTS ON FACET JOINT SPACE AND STIFFNESS. A newly published systematic review of the literature has concluded that the application of high velocity, low amplitude (HVLA) manipulation of the spine is likely to result in slight movement of the facet (zygapophyseal) joints as well as giving rise to a measurable change in stiffness immediately following manipulation.

The study, published in Chiropractic and Manual Therapies and authored by an international, multidisciplinary team of 14 experts, found that there was very little by way of credible literature on the subject of immediate anatomical or postural changes in response to manually applied HVLA manipulation, with 20 articles (10 controlled studies and 10 uncontrolled studies) being selected for review.

The reviewed studies covered a range of parameters with only 8 articles being considered credible in terms of methodology and outcomes. These indicated that following HVLA manipulation (alone and not combined with any other therapeutic intervention), lumbar facet joint space increased and spinal stiffness reduced.

The authors concluded that these two observable changes should form the basis of future research.
