In honor of Founder’s Day, a.k.a. the Birthday of Chiropractic, I am sharing this newspaper clipping from a chiropractic advertisement placed around 1919 in Los Angeles California.
The title reads YOU NEED NOT BE SICK!
Chiropractic adjustings release pressure off nerves, the cause of all sickness.
Conditions listed in the advertising include…
- Rheumatism
- Asthma
- Bronchitis
- Lumbago
- Neuralgia
- Stomach, Spleen, Liver and Eye Troubles
- High Blood Pressure
- Nervous and Skin Disorders
- Constipation
- Headaches
- Neuritis
- Catarrh
- Deafness
- Paralysis
- Hayfever
Chiropractors of today may notice that there is no mention of neck pain, sciatica, low back pain (instead lumbago is used), or scoliosis. There is also no mention of car accidents and insurance being accepted. Funny that the diagram used doesn’t look that different from some I see today in print advertisements.

Amazing how it hasn’t changed much from the early 1900s. It’s a natural form of medical care that proves to be effective and the years of work are its evidence. Great programs and great care. Glad to be a part of such a fantastic practice. Let’s improve the practice and carry it into the future with pride.
