Is the COVID-19 pandemic to blame for the increase of anxiety? Many think so. Chiropractic Care can help. Call Dr. Tyler today to learn more about how he can help you and your loved ones. Anxiety is a real- get relief today!

A study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, “examined the effects of chiropractic adjustments of the thoracic spine on blood pressure and state of anxiety in 21 people with elevated blood pressure”. The study found that participants who were receiving regularly Chiropractic Care, compared to those who did not (placebo treatment) had significantly decreased blood pressure and anxiety. The benefits of Chiropractic Care are real. Too much stress on the nervous system, left untreated, can manifest into mental health conditions (anxiety being one of them). Chiropractic Care reduces stress and allows the nervous system to function as it should- and in turn keep you healthy. Medication will only cover up symptoms- not locate and fix the root cause of the problem.

In the meantime, enjoy these FOUR fast facts on the history of Chiropractic Care!

1. American Chiropractic Care Started in Iowa

The very first known "chiropractic" adjustment was performed in Davenport, Iowa in 1895 by Daniel David Palmer (pictured above), a merchant who was known for his love for natural healing. Mr. Palmer was working in his office while his janitor Harvey Lillard cleaned. At one point Lillard bent over and Palmer noticed that his vertebrae appeared to be out of place. Palmer asked Lillard if he had hurt himself and Lillard confirmed he had felt a pop 17 years earlier and subsequently lost part of his hearing.

When he heard that, Palmer immediately performed an adjustment on Lillard which resulted in the restoration of some of Lillard's hearing! This was a transforming experience that led to Palmer opening a school to teach his methods.

2. The Name "Chiropractic" was Suggested by a Pastor

Rev. Weed, a friend of Mr. Palmer, was the one to suggest the name chiropractic. As a trained pastor, Weed was familiar with Greek and suggested Palmer name his method chiropractic. The term comes from the Greek words cheiros and praktikos meaning "done by hand."

3. Chiropractors Were First Licensed in 1913

Before 1913, many doctors and naturopaths were getting chiropractic education and training, but there were never any state or national licensing processes. The first state law licensing chiropractors was passed in Kansas in 1913. By 1931, 39 states had given chiropractors legal recognition. Now, of course, chiropractic care is recognized in all 50 states and around the word!

4. Chiropractic is the Fastest-Growing Primary Health Care Profession

Right now there are around 95,000 actively practicing chiropractic doctors in the world. With over 10,000 students enrolled at chiropractic schools in the United States alone, that number is growing rapidly. In fact, according to the International Chiropractic Association, chiropractic care is the second largest health care profession! We expect that number to continue to grow due to chiropractic's effectiveness in improving the health of all practice members!
