Abstract/Notes

Abstract: Although many chiropractors likely know the history around the development of chiropractic, the systemic persecution of chiropractors by the medical community has not been widely researched. The Life University Bell Tower is just one example of the memorialization of doctors who were arrested, charged, and jailed due to their practice of chiropractic in the early years. However, further research on chiropractors charged with illegal practice revealed that there are far more chiropractors who were charged with the crime of illegal practice who have never been included on a list of recognition, such as that on the Bell Tower. This essay argues that there are countless doctors who were persecuted but have not been properly recognized due to research limitations, document availability, and faulty definitions. More specifically, this essay chronicles a brief history of the hardships that Virginia chiropractors had to face to help heal their communities through chiropractic.
