Did you know that chiropractic dates back to the time of Hippocrates? He
believed that if the spine was misaligned, it greatly contributed to the
health of an individual.
The modern day school of chiropractic dates back to 1895, when Dr. Daniel
Palmer adjusted a man that had lost his hearing 17 years prior. The story
goes that prior to losing his hearing the man had heard something pop in his
back. Upon the adjustment of the man's misaligned vertebrae his hearing
greatly improved.
While the medical community criticized this new technique for healing the
body, the people who followed in these footsteps found an amazing new way of
dealing with illness and disease. Dr. Palmer's theories are still discussed
in the chiropractic industry today. Without this man's input into medicine
in a time where he was greatly discredited, the millions of people today who
enjoy the life changing benefits may never have had this opportunity. There
is still a school named after Dr. Daniel Palmer as well as over 20 schools
and thousands of chiropractic students across the country. Two of these
schools are in the state of Texas, Texas Chiropractic College (TCC) just
outside of Houston and Parker College of Chiropractic (Parker) in Dallas.
Dr. Holloway is a proud lifetime alumni of Parker University.
