Chiropractic
A therapy
treatment based on the manipulation of the spinal cord. Its theory is that misaligments
of the spine, called "subluxations", are the cause for most medical problems by
interfering with nerve signals from the brain. By adjusting the misalignments, normal
nerve function is restored and illnesses cured.
In 1895, Daniel David
Palmer delivered the first chiropractic adjustment to Harvey Lillard, a janitor in his
office. Harvey had been deaf since his childhood when he hurt his back. Harvey had a full
recovery including the restoration of his hearing after only that one adjustment. Although
this may seem like an extreme example, it clearly illustrates the potential that
chiropractic has in healing.
On the surface it may seem
that chiropractic is limited to helping the spine, muscles and joints, this however is not
the full reality. It must be remembered that the spine's function is to provide protection
to the spinal cord (a direct extension of the brain), while allowing for extremely
versatile bending and ranges of motion of the trunk. It is really quite remarkable to
think of the ability that this extension of the brain (the spine and spinal cord) has
during bodily motion. If you've ever seen a professional gymnast perform, you can see that
the degree of flexibility of the vertebra and spinal cord can be extensive. See

As you may have noticed, Occultopedia is being updated.
Navigation areas are completed, but the word definition pages are not. The
layout in these pages might not look as good as they should. Updating them
may take a while, so please, be patient and understanding. I am only one
person working on this site in my spare time.
As soon as these updates are concluded I will begin setting up the
Forums, so we can all discuss the
occult, paranormal and extraordinary, and whatever else we please.
Registration will be required.
Occultopedia's images and art are also undergoing an adjustment to
Flash based graphics. This process may take some time as well, so again, be
patient and understanding.

Occultopedia is the genuine article, the
original and the best internet index of the extraordinary and uncanny,
shamelessly copied by many, but never equaled. Online since the
early 90s — at first in a free web space provider, and in 1997 finally
with its own domain name and hosting — Occultopedia still is the
principal online resource for those looking for the unexplained, the
curious and the unusual. |

Occultopedia may appear to be a for profit site, but my site is
not really a commercial one. All of the commercial links are from affiliate

bandwidth — that can be quite costly if you have a lot of traffic, graphics and
