Founded Sept. 18, 1895

Davenport, Iowa

Harvey Lillard was a deaf janitor who worked in the Ryan Building on Brady Street in Davenport, Iowa. He was the first person to receive a chiropractic adjustment, which restored his hearing! D.D. Palmer founded chiropractic and opened Palmer School of Chiropractic following this healing miracle.

Lillard maintained the corner building where Palmer had his office on the 4th floor. In September 1895 he told Palmer that he had lost most of his hearing and was almost completely deaf. Lillard added that he "could not hear the racket of a wagon on the street or the ticking of a watch." When asked how he had become deaf he replied that, 17 years before, while bent over in a cramped, stooping position he "heard something pop" in his spine" and immediately lost most of his hearing.

Jeff Phillips, LMT

Palmer offered to take a look at Lillard's spine and found a lump just between his shoulders; he persuaded Lillard to allow him to "rack his bone back into position." Palmer reasoned that Lillard's hearing loss was due to a misalignment that blocked the spinal nerves which control the inner ear and adjusted the vertebrae back into place. After a few days, Lillard said that his hearing was better and almost completely restored. Chiropractic was born!
