Chiropractic: An Iowa Original

Chiropractic was founded by Daniel David Palmer in Davenport, Iowa in 1895. Palmer was the first to teach that disease has three primary causes, which chiropractic students learn as "The Three T's": thought, trauma and toxin.

Harvey Lilliard, a janitor who worked in Palmer's building had lost his hearing once after stopping and hearing a 'pop' in his upper back. Dr. Palmer analyzed and adjusted Lilliard's spine and almost immediately his hearing returned. The first chiropractic patient commented that he could hear the bell of the trolley cars once again.
