Chiropractic under other names and various techniques has been practiced for many centuries by every culture. Its modern day incarnation was founded in 1895 by a Canadian man living in Davenport Iowa. Since then, modern day "bone setting" has evolved into a formal profession. Chiropractors now must qualify for a formal national exam after many years of study at an accredited institution with background in anatomy, pathology, biochemistry, microbiology and x ray, amongst many others.

While chiropractic is most widely known for assisting recovery from neck and back pain, chiropractors are trained to adjust every joint in the body. Chiropractors are trained to treat and adjust ankles knees, fingers wrists, even jaws.

For those suffering with back pain that come to my office, I have a table that stretches out the lower back.
