Brief History of Chiropractic
History of Chiropractic Care
You may be surprised to learn that chiropractors date back to the beginning of time. Ancient historians in China and Greece recorded medical treatment that involved manipulation of the lower extremities, which was designed to ease back pain.
Chiropractic care didn’t make its way to the United States until the late 19th century. Throughout the 20th century, chiropractors received legal recognition throughout all 50 states. Chiropractors are viewed as pioneers in non-invasive care through the promotion of science based approaches that can impact a variety of ailments.
As the list of disorders treated by chiropractic care continues to increase, more people are reportedly seeking chiropractic treatment for pain relief and improvement in motion and functioning. In order to become a chiropractor, one must complete four to five years of education at a chiropractic college. Individual state licensing requirements must also be met.
