Know
Your Chiropractic History . . .
Did you know that joint manipulation has been practiced
for thousands of years? Hippocrates, The Father of Medicine (460-370
BC), described manipulative procedures in his writings known as the
Corpus Hippocrateum.
Socrates advised, 'If you would seek health, look first to the spine.'
Other historical records have indicated that the effects of spinal corrections
were recognized and used by health care providers in many societies
even before the time of
Christ.
Galen (130-202 AD) the 'Prince of Physicians' earned the title when
he relieved the paralysis of the right hand of Eudemas (a Roman scholar)
by careful manipulation of his neck.
Bonesetters practiced the art of manipulation during the Middle Ages.
Chiropractic care has been passed down from teacher to apprentice in
Europe, North Africa, and Asia for generations.
