What is the Chiropractic treatment and how did it start?
Chiropractic was founded in 1895 in Iowa, United States by Daniel David Palmer. D.D. Palmer founded the first chiropractic university in 1897 called Palmer College of Chiropractic, which remains, to this day, one of the reference institutions in chiropractic care throughout the nation.
Chiropractic is a Health Care science with rapid, safe and effective therapeutic method. The objective of Chiropractic care is to restore the spine’s function, reduce the pain, and to return natural mobility to the patient’s back.
