At Life University (Life U), we believe in honoring our roots while building toward a brighter future. That’s why this year’s Life Vision Extravaganza (LVE) is especially meaningful: the first day of our largest annual chiropractic event opens on Chiropractic Founders Day, September 18.

Chiropractic Founders Day marks the 130th anniversary of the first chiropractic adjustment in 1895 by D.D. Palmer. It’s a day that represents innovation, vision and a commitment to a healthcare model that honors the body’s innate ability to heal. 130 years later, this historic moment continues to inspire chiropractors, students and leaders worldwide, and it’s at the very heart of everything we do at Life U.

Launching LVE on Founders Day brings together the past, present and future of Chiropractic. It’s a chance for our community of students, alumni, faculty and practicing chiropractors to reflect on where Chiropractic began and the extraordinary progress it has made since that first chiropractic adjustment.

But LVE is also about looking ahead. Just as Palmer’s first adjustment sparked a movement, Life U continues to foster innovation and leadership within the profession. From groundbreaking research to holistic education, Life U stands at the forefront of advancing chiropractic worldwide.

What to Expect at LVE

Over the course of three days, attendees will experience:

  • Inspiring speakers and thought leaders sharing insights on chiropractic philosophy, science and practice.
  • Networking opportunities with students, alumni and practitioners from around the globe.
  • Celebrations of community that highlight the unique culture of Life U and the chiropractic profession.
  • Special events, including dedications, recognitions and opportunities to connect with the heartbeat of our university.

Starting it all on Founders Day gives the event a deeper resonance – reminding us why we gather in the first place: to celebrate the vision of Chiropractic and to continue carrying that vision forward.

LVE is more than just a conference; it’s a rallying point for our profession. By opening on Founders Day, we ground ourselves in chiropractic history while setting our eyes on the possibilities of tomorrow.

As we come together this September, let’s honor the pioneering spirit of the founders of Chiropracticand rededicate ourselves to the mission of spreading vitalistic healthcare to communities all across the globe.

Happy Founders Day and welcome to Life Vision Extravaganza 2025!
