Throughout its history,chiropractic has been the subject of internal and external controversy and criticism. According to magnetic healer Daniel D. Palmer,the founder of chiropractic,"vertebral subluxation" was the sole cause of all diseases and manipulation was the cure for all disease. A 2003 profession-wide survey found "most chiropractors still hold views of Innate Intelligence and of the cause and cure of disease consistent with those of the Palmers". A critical evaluation stated "Chiropractic is rooted in mystical concepts. This led to an internal conflict within the chiropractic profession,which continues today." Chiropractors,including D.D. Palmer,were jailed for practicing medicine without a license. D.D. Palmer considered establishing chiropractic as a religion to resolve this problem.
