The History of Chiropractic Care
The word "Chiropractic" is derived from the Greek words "cheir" (hand) and "praktos" (done) combined to mean "done by hand." It was chosen by the developer of chiropractic care, Daniel David Palmer. In 1895, D.D. Palmer performed a chiropractic adjustment on a partially deaf janitor, Harvey Lillard, who later reported that his hearing had improved due to the change.
D.D. Palmer opened the first chiropractic school two years later, and in the century since, chiropractic professionals have used spinal adjustments to help people prevent and cope with back pain, carpal tunnel, muscle strain, headaches and migraines, and a variety of other physical ailments. Millions of people benefit from the work of Dr. Palmer today.
Can Your Health Condition Be Helped With Chiropractic
Many conditions can benefit from chiropractic care, and we have seen thousands of success stories over the years. Some conditions respond immediately to care and require just a couple of follow-up treatments. Others require a longer treatment time, and that is explained to the patient. Each case is monitored closely, if the patient is steadily improving, that’s great. If not, additional testing may be required. Dr. Green routinely recommends and orders MRI’s, CT scans, or other tests to get the answers you are looking for. Dr. Green also will make appropriate referrals to orthopedic or neurosurgical doctors if necessary.
Why do I need chiropractic care when I’m not in pain?
Pain is a symptom that “something isn’t right”. Pain is like the top of an iceberg…it’s the only part we see (or feel in this case). We only see the top, but there is a bigger problem underneath the surface. Chiropractic addresses the cause of your pain, not just the symptoms. Aspirin and pain relievers treat symptoms/pain, chiropractic treats the cause. It takes time to make a change.
