Happy 131st birthday, Chiropractic. 🎂

On September 18, 1895, in Davenport, Iowa, D.D. Palmer gave the first chiropractic adjustment to a man named Harvey Lillard, who worked in the same building.

Lillard had been deaf for about 17 years — ever since the day he bent over in a cramped space and felt something give in his back. Palmer felt along his spine, found a vertebra out of place, and put it back.

Lillard described what happened next himself, in print, in 1897:

"I was deaf 17 years and I expected to always remain so, for I had doctored a great deal without any benefit... in two treatments I could hear quite well."

Chiropractic looks very different now than it did that afternoon. One hundred thirty-one years of training, research and refinement will do that. But every adjustment given anywhere in the world today traces back to that one room in Davenport.

To everyone who walks through our door: thank you for letting us take care of you. It's the best job there is.

Turn in your Wellness Bingo cards at the front desk today — and happy birthday to a profession we love. 💚

If you meant to book this week and didn't quite get to it, the calendar's open.

Louisiana fun fact, and it's a good one. ⚜️

Kansas became the first state to license chiropractors in 1913. Louisiana was the last — in 1974. Sixty-one years later.

That means for most of the twentieth century, practicing chiropractic in this state meant practicing without a license to your name. And it wasn't just paperwork: across the country, chiropractors were fined and jailed for it. D.D. Palmer himself served time in 1906.

So when we say we're proud to practice here in Shreveport, we mean it in a specific way. People fought for decades so that this could be an ordinary Thursday appointment.

Tomorrow is the big day — chiropractic turns 131. 💚

Day three of chiropractic's birthday week, and here's a coincidence we love. 🩻

Chiropractic began on September 18, 1895. Fifty-one days later, on November 8, 1895, a German physicist named Wilhelm Röntgen discovered the X-ray.

Two brand-new ways of looking at the human spine, born the same autumn, on two different continents, neither one with any idea the other existed.

They found each other in 1910, when B.J. Palmer became one of the earliest adopters of X-ray imaging for the spine. He called them "spinographs."

We're halfway through birthday week — how's your Wellness Bingo card looking? Drop a photo in the comments or bring it by, we want to see.

Day two of chiropractic's birthday week, and here's one most people get wrong: the word "chiropractic" wasn't coined by a doctor. It was coined by a preacher.

In 1896, Rev. Samuel W**d — a patient and friend of chiropractic's founder, D.D. Palmer — put two Greek words together. Cheir, meaning hand. Praktikos, meaning done by.

Chiropractic. Literally: "done by hand."

131 years later, that's still exactly what it is. No machine does it for us. Hands, training, and a whole lot of practice.

Wellness Bingo cards are at the front desk all week. How many squares have you filled in so far?

Chiropractic turns 131 this Friday. But the human habit of going "my back hurts, do something" is a whole lot older than that. 🦴

The Edwin Smith Papyrus — an Egyptian medical text written around 1552 BC — is the oldest known document describing spinal injuries and how to treat them. By about 400 BC, Hippocrates was writing out step-by-step instructions for spinal manipulation, and he designed a wooden traction table to do it on.

So when you climb onto our table this week, you're joining a very long line of people.

We're celebrating chiropractic's birthday all week with a fun fact every day, plus Wellness Bingo cards at the front desk. Swing by and grab one.

Tell us in the comments: how old were you at your first adjustment?

Most people think of us for back pain, but a well-aligned spine helps your whole body work better. Patients come to us for headaches and migraines, neck and shoulder tension, numbness and tingling, and better sleep and posture.

If something has been nagging you, it is worth asking whether chiropractic can help.

tories like Patty's are exactly why we do what we do. When other doctors said there was nothing left to try, our Neuropathy Program helped bring her body back to a healthier state, and she is blown away by the results.

If you have been told to just live with the numbness, tingling, or burning, we would love to show you another path. Our drug-free program targets the source of your neuropathy, not just the symptoms.

Ready to see what is possible? Call us today.

That shooting pain down your leg could be sciatica. Sharp or burning pain, numbness, or tingling that travels from your lower back into your hip and leg is a classic sign. We find what is pressing on the nerve and build a drug-free plan to relieve it, so you can move without dreading the next step.
