The Vertebral Subluxation

Prologue

The afternoon was hot and dusty on September 18, 1895 in Davenport, Iowa. Relaxing after a busy morning seeing patients, Daniel David Palmer, a successful magnetic healer, inquired as to how his janitor, Harvey Lillard, had lost his hearing. Lillard related that 17 years earlier, while working in a cramped, stooped position, something "gave" in his back, and he became deaf. Palmer examined the man's spine and found what appeared to be a misaligned vertebra. "Is this the cause of the man�s hearing loss?" he must have wondered. With Lillard's permission Palmer placed him on a bench in his study, put his hands over the misaligned vertebra, and carefully thrust along the man's spine.

Lillard got up, walked to the open window and turned to Palmer with a smile. After 17 years he could hear again.

At first Palmer thought he had discovered a cure for deafness, however, he later realized he had discovered something more.

Shortly after this relief from deafness, I had a case of heart trouble which was not improving. I examined the spine and found a displaced vertebra pressing against the nerves which innervate the heart. I adjusted the vertebra and gave immediate relief. Then I began to reason if two diseases, so dissimilar as deafness and heart trouble, came from impingement, a pressure on nerves, were not other disease's due to a similar cause? Thus the science and art of Chiropractic were formed at that time.

Palmer used the word subluxation to describe the condition he corrected with his spinal adjustments. He postulated on the mechanism of action,

Subluxated vertebra caused tension, excessive heat, an excess of erythrocytes and a deficiency of leukocytes, consequently softened vertebrae and abnormal curvature is the result.

Individuals with all kinds of health problems were responding to spinal adjustments, those with Asthma, digestive problems, headaches, epilepsy, insanity, sciatica...nearly every conceivable condition were traveling far and wide to experience Dr. Palmer�s new discovery.
