EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of ancient healing wisdom, showcasing a chiropractic adjustment from the works of Hippocrates. The illustration, created by Joseph Kuhn-Regnier in 1934, beautifully depicts a female Greek physician delicately massaging the shoulder of her patient with gentle hands. In this scene from antiquity, we witness the artful treatment and care provided to those seeking relief. The image showcases the importance of joint health and highlights the expertise required to alleviate discomfort through manual therapy. As we delve into this medical scene, it becomes evident that even in ancient times, physicians understood the significance of proper alignment and manipulation for overall well-being. The nakedness portrayed in this artwork is not meant to be provocative but rather emphasizes vulnerability and trust between patient and practitioner. It symbolizes an intimate connection where patients place their faith in skilled healers who possess knowledge passed down through generations. Through this powerful visual representation, we are reminded that healing practices have evolved over centuries while still maintaining core principles rooted in compassion and understanding. This timeless depiction serves as a testament to the enduring impact of Hippocratic teachings on modern medicine. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, let us appreciate its historical significance while acknowledging how far chiropractic care has come since its inception under Hippocrates' guidance.
