Hippocrates was using primitive forms of manipulation of bones and joints in 400 BC.

"Get knowledge of the spine, for this is the requisite for many diseases." ..Hippocrates, 460-377 BC.

It has since been used by almost every culture. It has been called many names through history, most familiar to us would be "bone-setter" in Britain in the 1800s. "Chiropractic" as a named profession began about 100 years ago in the US when an entrepreneur named it that (DD Palmer).
