Episode notes
Spine Controls Whole-Body Function
- The spine houses delicate nerve tissue that coordinates all body function through the brain and spinal cord.
- Tiny vertebral misalignments (subluxations) can change nerve structure and interfere with that communication.
How Chiropractic Began
- D.D. Palmer adjusted a deaf janitor, Harvey Lillard, and reportedly restored his hearing, inspiring chiropractic's origin story.
- That event launched Palmer's belief that spinal misalignment could affect organ function.
Persecution Shaped Chiropractic's Roots
- Early chiropractors faced arrests for practicing medicine without a license and sometimes preferred jail over paying fines.
- The profession grew despite persecution, using secrecy like 'speakeasy' office doors to protect patients and practitioners.
