What Makes a Comfortable Adjustment?

A Brief History of Chiropractic (It is not all about pain).
As the story goes, in September of 1895 a man by the name of Daniel David Palmer, also known as D.D., met a custodian named Harvey Lillard. Lillard developed significant hearing loss many years earlier when he was hunched over working and experienced a loud pop in his...
Science and Chiropractic
Have you ever read or heard something that on the surface made sense for a second but when you thought about it, it was completely banal? I had that experience this morning. One of my patients shared an article with me from Fox News about chiropractic. The article...
