Chiropractic Founders Day

Chiropractic Founders’ Day is dedicated to chiropractic, a medical field that has proven effective in treating problems with the spine and joints. Millions of people around the world have become healthier by attending chiropractic sessions. It is on September 18th.

History

Chiropractors are highly trained specialists who deal with problems related to the spine. Before conducting manual therapy (the name of this medical field), they study x-rays or talk with patients to collect the necessary information.

Treatment occurs through physical impact on a certain area of the spine. Sometimes heating or cooling methods are used. The main part of the problems is solved by pressing on the back with the palms or fists. Such therapy can improve a person’s condition and give a sense of mobility to their body. Especially often, people who suffer from bad posture, complain of neck pain, or are recovering from an injury turn to chiropractors.

It is believed chiropractors existed in the ancient world. According to historical sources, the Greek physician Hippocrates actively used these techniques. Later, however, manual therapy ceased to be used. The chiropractic revival began in 1897. Seven years later, the first licensed chiropractor appeared in the United States.
