The History of Chiropractic

Dr. Kent Carlomagno has only been practicing chiropractic since 1983, but did you know that the idea of Chiropractic therapy itself dates back to the time of Hippocrates? He believed that if the spine was misaligned, it greatly contributed to the health of the individual. In fact, the word “chiropractic” comes from the Greek words cheir (meaning ‘hand’) and praktos (meaning ‘done), i.e. “Done by hand.”

The modern day school of chiropractic came when a developer of chiropractic, named Daniel David Palmer, performed the initial chiropractic adjustment in September of 1895. Palmer examined a janitor who had become deaf 17 years prior 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 his hearing improved. Then the rest was history.

The Musculoskeletal System and Chiro

These days, many people are seeking chiropractic services in treating musculoskeletal disorders. If you’re not familiar with what the musculoskeletal system is, it is the system that provides support to the body and gives us humans (and many animal species) the ability to move. In addition, the system provides form, support and stability. Sometimes our musculoskeletal system can “wear out” and limit our range of motion. If you feel that your bones and joints aren’t what they used to be, Dr. Kent Carlomagno is dedicated to providing chiropractic care to help you reach your fullest potential.

One of the most frequently used chiropractic methods in treating musculoskeletal disorders is spinal manipulation or spinal adjustments. However, Dr. Kent Carlomagno provides a wide range of services to treat your individual case. Prior to performing any chiropractic procedure, a diagnosis must be confirmed. Treatment for your musculoskeletal disorder will be based on the symptoms and causes.
