"I chose to attend Palmer Chiropractic College because I wanted to equip myself with the best chiropractic edu-cation available. I'm proud of my Palmer education. Palmer standards are high and their philosophy is firmly planted in the belief that the body has an innate ability to heal itself."

The "founding father" of chiropractic, Dr. D.D. Palmer, developed a theory that spinal misalignment caused nerve pressure or irritation which in turn caused various ailments. He realized that the structure and condition of the body influenced how the body functioned and its ability to heal itself, without the use of drugs or surgery.

This simple philosophy has healed people and has prevented unwanted injury and illness for over a century! But to fully understand the chiropractic perspective, one must learn a bit about the nervous system, or how our bodies are "wired."
