Seeing a large, colorful poster in the front room of a busy chiropractor\u2019s office made an impression on me, so\u00a0I thought I’d share it with you here.\u00a0 It read,\u00a0“Chiropractic, it\u2019s not about your back; it\u2019s not about your pain; it\u2019s about your life!<\/em><\/strong>”\u00a0 I knew that people often report feeling better after getting an adjustment,\u00a0 but it turns out that feeling good was only the tip of the iceberg.\u00a0 In fact when we adjust your spine, we\u2019re not trying to change how you feel; instead we\u2019re correcting a problem that interferes with the function of the body.\u00a0 A precise adjustment corrects interference in the nerve system and that has implications to function throughout the body.\u00a0 Here\u2019s a great case in point.<\/p>\n

The following excerpt from a letter documents the first chiropractic adjustment in history.\u00a0 Written by Harvey Lillard (circa May, 1896),<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Harvey Lillard, received first adjustment <\/p><\/div>\n

it\u00a0was later published as testimony of the case by Dr. D.D. Palmer in the January,1897 issue of his newsletter, \u201cThe Chiropractic.\u201d<\/em> Mr. Lillard didn\u2019t have a back pain but when he received an adjustment he regained his hearing after 17 years of deafness!\u00a0 Eight months after the September 18, 1895 adjustment he verified that he could still hear well after only two neck adjustments.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was deaf 17 years and I expected to always remain so, for I had doctored a great deal without any benefit. I had long ago made up my mind to not take any more ear treatments, for it did me no good. \u00a0Last January Dr. Palmer told me that my deafness came from an injury in my spine. This was new to me; but it is a fact that my back was injured at the time I went deaf. Dr. Palmer treated me on the spine; in two treatments I could hear quite well. That was eight months ago. \u00a0My hearing remains good. –\u00a0HARVEY LILLARD, 320 W. Eleventh St., Davenport, Iowa\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

So next time you visit your chiropractor, remember it’s about much more than how your feeling, it’s about your expression of life! \u00a0For more information about this interesting history, click: http:\/\/www.youneedchiro.com\/joomla\/publications<\/a> (click on the\u00a02nd <\/sup>article in the list of publications, “Old Dad Chiro, His Thoughts, Words and Deeds.”)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
