- Abstract
The history of orthopedically oriented manual therapy goes back to the earliest times; those who dealt with this issue, although under different names, were: Hippocrates, Galen and many others. However, what is considered as the moment of birth of the field is osteopathy, which originated in the USA in the second half of the 19th century, and its founder is A.T. Still. Chiropractic is, apart from osteopathy, the main trend in modern manual therapy. The aim of the article is to present the biography of the chiropractic creator - Daniel David Palmer (1845-1913), taking his concept of manual therapy into account, referring to both theoretical and diagnostic issues as well as means of treatment (mobilisation). The article also contains information on the following issues: 1) characteristics of blocking, its causes and symptoms, with particular emphasis on subluxation; 2) trends in chiropractic: conservative and liberal; 3) diagnostics illustrated by the example of the sacroiliac joint with an indication to recommended functional tests; 4) the most important methods of manual therapy currently being used; 5) a survey among specialists of manual therapy concerning selected aspects of teaching in the course of study and the use of mobilisation as well as manipulation by physiotherapists in everyday practice with their patients. The paper was written on the basis of a literature search using the following databases, i.e., Web of Science, New PubMed and Google Scholar.
