Dr. Plasker explores the history of chiropractic, from D.D. Palmer\u2019s first adjustment in 1895 to the essential role of chiropractors in worldwide communities today. In the intervening years, chiropractic and its practitioners have consistently faced societal and legal prejudice, but through the persistence of chiropractors and key leaders, chiropractic has been established as a formally recognized and respected health care choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Plasker comments on the current status of chiropractic: \u201cToday chiropractors are taking the lead, being the first choice for healthcare because of their safe, holistic approach.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Plasker\u2019s article is a well-researched, well-written piece focusing on the story of chiropractic.
