This week, we’re celebrating Founder’s Week, honoring the birth of chiropractic care — a profession that has helped millions live healthier, more vibrant lives without drugs or surgery.

🕰️ It All Started in 1895...

On September 18, 1895, a man named Daniel David (D.D.) Palmer gave the first chiropractic adjustment in Davenport, Iowa. His patient, Harvey Lillard, had lost his hearing years earlier after a back injury. D.D. Palmer discovered a misalignment in his spine, adjusted it — and Harvey’s hearing began to return.

That moment marked the birth of chiropractic, and a new way of thinking about health was born.

🌱 What Makes Chiropractic Different?

Chiropractors don’t chase symptoms. We look for the root cause of health issues by evaluating the spine and nervous system — the master control center of the body.

When spinal misalignments (subluxations) interfere with nerve flow, the body can't function at its best. Through gentle, specific adjustments, we help restore proper alignment and nervous system function so your body can do what it was designed to do: heal itself.

💙 Why We Do What We Do

At Frain Family Chiropractic, chiropractic isn’t just our job — it’s our passion and purpose.

🩺 “I became a chiropractor after suffering with chronic pain that "traditional medicine" had no answer for. Instead of finding the cause of the problem, they just wanted to mask my pain with addictive drugs. A co-worker convinced me to see a chiropractor, who took the time to really listen to my concerns and ultimately found the cause of my chronic pain. He fixed the cause of my problem and gave me back my life. I knew then and there, that this is what I was called to do, and I have spent the last 23 years helping my patients get their life back through natural chiropractic care. Chiropractic empowers families to live fully, without relying on pills or procedures.”
— Dr. Susan Frain

🩺 “What keeps me going is seeing lives change. Whether it’s a child sleeping better, an adult getting relief from chronic pain, or someone regaining hope — chiropractic makes a difference.”
— Dr. Patrick Frain
