The word chiropractic is derived from the Greek language and literally means “ To Perform With The Hands”. Historical paintings from ancient Egypt and Greece have shown chiropractic adjustments have been performed for over a thousand years ago. However, it was not until 1895 that D.D. Palmer discovered what is modern chiropractic.
If D.D. Palmer is the founder of Chiropractic, it was his son, B.J. Palmer, who can be called the ambassador of the profession. B.J. was responsible for opening up the original Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa.
Chiropractic is a health care discipline, which emphasizes the inherent recuperation power of the body to heal itself without drugs or surgery. The practice of chiropractic focuses on the relationship between the spine and nervous system and how that relationship affects the restoration and preservation of health.

When I first visited this office, I was suffering from residual nerve pain on my face and head. I had frequent headaches and neck pain. My lower back and hip pain kept me from doing gardening and normal household and daily activities. The pain in my knee and shoulder made sleeping uncomfortable. After the treatments and care I’ve received here at RMC, my pain and discomfort are much less and I am able to do things and find my life more enjoyable. Many thanks to Dr. Carla, Dr. John, and staff!
