The roots of chiropractic care can be traced all the way back to the beginning of recorded time. Writings
from China and Greece written in 2700 B.C. and 1500 B.C. mention spinal manipulation and the
maneuvering of the lower extremities to ease low back pain. Hippocrates, the Greek physician, who
lived from 460 to 357 B.C., also published texts detailing the importance of chiropractic care. In one of
his writings he declares, "Get knowledge of the spine, for this is the requisite for many diseases".

In the United States, the practice of spinal manipulation began gaining momentum in the late nineteenth
century. In 1895, Daniel David Palmer founded the Chiropractic profession in Davenport, Iowa. Palmer
was well read in medical journals of his time and had great knowledge of the developments that were
occurring throughout the world regarding anatomy and physiology. In 1897, Daniel David Palmer went
on to begin the Palmer School of Chiropractic, which has continued to be one of the most prominent
chiropractic colleges in the nation.
Throughout the twentieth century, doctors of chiropractic gained legal recognition in all fifty states. A
continuing recognition and respect for the chiropractic profession in the United States has led to
growing support for chiropractic care all over the world. The research that has emerged from "around
the world" has yielded incredibly influential results, which have changed, shaped and molded
perceptions of chiropractic care. The report, Chiropractic in New Zealand published in 1979 strongly
supported the efficacy of chiropractic care and elicited medical cooperation in conjunction with
chiropractic care. The 1993 Manga study published in Canada investigated the cost effectiveness of
chiropractic care. The results of this study concluded that chiropractic care would save hundreds of
millions of dollars annually with regard to work disability payments and direct health care costs.
