Template:Stub Chiropractic is a form of alternative healthcare revolving around subluxations of the spine. It was developed by DD Palmer, a magnetic healer, in 1895.
Initial Reaction
Allopathic medicine was quick to mobilize against chiropractors, after it was first introduced to the world. It was considered illegal and many of the early chiropractors, including Palmer, were convicted of practicing medicine without a license.
Licensing laws
In the 1930s, the first chiropractic licensure laws were passed. Eventually all 50 states legalized the practice with a license.
Wilks v. AMA
After Wilks v. AMA, the medical community began to cut the profession some slack.
