Happy 130th Birthday to Chiropractic! 🎂
Yesterday we celebrated this milestone birthday with our incredible patients and practice members.. I mean, how fun 🤩
On September 18, 1895, the very first chiropractic adjustment was delivered in Davenport, Iowa… and the rest is history.
For 130 years, chiropractors have been helping people unlock their body’s natural ability to heal without drugs or surgery.
But let’s be real… our history isn’t without some wild stories:
👉 BJ Palmer (the son of the founder of chiropractic) was known as a bold promoter… and one story goes that he accidentally hit his dad with a car during a parade 🚗 (Don’t worry, chiropractic survived!)
👉 In the early years, chiropractors were often jailed just for practicing! Many chose to sit behind bars rather than give up on their mission to help people heal naturally. Talk about commitment 💪
👉 Today, chiropractic is one of the largest natural healthcare professions in the world — serving millions of people every single day 🌎
We celebrate 130 years of adjustments, alignment, resilience, and results. Here’s to continuing the mission — helping people live healthier, stronger lives, naturally.
From 1895 to today.. chiropractic works, chiropractic lasts, and chiropractic is here to stay.
