Living Well Chiropractic

Our Chiropractors:

For years our chiropractors at Living Well Chiropractic have been not only helping people find relief from pain and tension, but have worked to increase people's movement and function so that they can get back to doing the things they enjoy most. Our two chiropractors have a total of over 35 years combined experience, and when you add to that the 5 years of university training that they each completed, you can rest assured that, when you see a practitioner at Living Well Chiropractic, you are in safe hands.

Our chiropractors are qualified to administer a variety of techniques, including some that are very low force, which means that they have the ability to treat a whole range of people from our community. Our chiropractors pride themselves on being "full-body" practitioners which means they do not limit themselves only to the joints and tissues of the spine. They are well versed in peripheral techniques, which means they can also help you with misbehaving shoulders, elbows, knees, ankles or wrists.

History Of Living Well Chiropractic:

Daniel David Palmer performed the initial chiropractic adjustment in September 1895. He was a magnetic healer at the time, and had been treating a janitor who had been deaf for 17 years after he felt something "give" in his back. Palmer examined the area and gave a crude "adjustment" to what was felt to be a misplaced vertebra in the upper back. The janitor then observed that his hearing improved.

From that first adjustment, DD Palmer continued to develop this new treatment, naming it "Chiropractic" which is Greek for "done by hand". In 1897 he established the Palmer College of Chiropractic located in Davenport, Iowa, where it remains today. Not surprisingly, many people became interested in Palmer's new science and healing art. Since this time, chiropractic has developed into one of the most popular natural care modalities in the world. It is currently taught in 4 Universities within Australia, where graduates spend at least 5 years studying subjects such as anatomy, physiology, radiology, neurology and specialist chiropractic subjects. Once qualified, chiropractors stay up to date with the latest research and development by doing courses and continuing education every year.
