The Death of DD Palmer and Its Aftermath Murder They Wrote: The Death of D.D. Palmer and Its Aftermath ROLF E. PETERS and MARY ANN CHANCE ABSTRACT: D.D. Palmer, the discoverer of chiropractic, who died 80 years ago, on 20 October 1 91 3, is briefly remembered. In the aftermath of his death, his son B.J. Palmer was accused of premeditated, intentional and malicious patricide, and a suit was pressed by the owners of a rival chiropractic school and the legal counsel of a rival chiropractic trade association. The case was thrown out of court three times, and the perpetrators of the suits were warned by the Grand Jury that another appearance before them would bring an investigation into their motives for possible indictment for a criminal offence. As the allegations of patricide tend to reappear intermittently, a retelling of B.J. Palmer's defence is presented to acquaint a new generation of chiropractors with the events of that time.

  • Chiropractic in Lancaster County by J
    Chiropractic in Lancaster County By J. Calvin Wenger, D. C. The Chiropractic profession was birthed nationwide in Davenport, Iowa in September 1895. It all started when a magnetic healer, Daniel David Palmer, noticed an unusual derangement in the cervical-thoracic spine of a deaf janitor by the name of Harvey Lillard. He performed a manipulation in this area and Mr. Lillard’s hearing was restored. Thus began a process of patient care that eventually evolved into what today is known as the chiropractic profession. A friend of Daniel Palmer, Rev. Samuel Weed, was fluent in Greek and suggested the procedure be called chiropractic, a practice performed by the use of hands. During the next decade the first chiropractic school was established which is still operating and known now as the Palmer University of Chiropractic. Dr. David Palmer's son, Dr. B. J. Palmer, was an unusual and charismatic leader who succeeded his father and became known as the developer of chiropractic. His son Dr. David Pamler became a 3rd generation leader in the profession and married a Lancaster County native, Dr. Agnes High Palmer. In recent years, two other Palmer higher educational institutions have been established in San Jose, California and Port Orange, Florida. Incidentally and interestingly, the other major manipulative health profession, osteopathy, was also discovered in the Mid-West in the latter 1800's in Swiftwater, Missouri by a practitioner by the name of Andrew Still. The major premise of the chiropractic profession is that dysfunctional spinal articulations and pelvic structures will initiate disturbances with the function of the nervous system in a particular spinal area which in tandem negatively influences the normal functions of the body in that particular area.

  • The Chiropractic Adjuster (1921)
    THE CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTER A Compilation of the Writings of D. D. PALMER by his son B. J. PALMER. D. C., Ph. C. President THE PALMER SCHOOL OF CHIROPRACTIC Davenport, Iowa, U. S. A. The Palmer School of Chiropractic Publishers Davenport, Iowa Copyright, 1921 B. J. PALMER, D. C., Ph. C. Davenport, Iowa, U. S. A. PREFACE My father was a prolific writer. He wrote much on many subjects. Some were directly apropos to chiropractic, many of them were foreign to it. He was very versatile in thinking, writing and speaking. He was a broad reader and a radical thinker. Away back in the years past, when I was but a boy, I recall going to his waste-basket each night, picking out the many sheets of long-hand, hand-written copies of his writings. I saved them. I saved them through the years, as much as I could. The compilation of these constituted my first step towards a scrapbook. Although chiropractic was not so named until 1895, yet the naming of “chiropractic” was much like the naming of a baby; it was nine months old before it was named. Chiropractic, in the beginning of the thoughts upon which it was named, dates back at least five years previous to 1895. During those five years, as I review many of these writings, I find they talk about various phases of that which now constitutes some of the phases of our present day philosophy, showing that my father was thinking along and towards those lines which eventually, suddenly crystallized in the accidental case of Harvey Lillard, after which it sprung suddenly into fire and produced the white hot blaze.

  • Chiropractic Care Policy
    Chiropractic Care Applies to: Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Nebraska Medicare Advantage Plans Chiropractic Care Chiropractic care focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, and the effects of these disorders on general health. Chiropractic care is most often used to treat neuro-musculoskeletal complaints, including but not limited to back pain, neck pain, headaches, and pain in the joints of the arms or legs. Chiropractors utilize a drug-free, hands-on approach to health care that includes patient examination, diagnosis and treatment. The most common therapeutic procedure performed by doctors of chiropractic medicine is known as spinal manipulation. The purpose of manipulation is to restore joint mobility by manually applying a controlled force into joints that have become hypo mobile or restricted in their movement as a result of a tissue injury. Manipulation, or adjustment of the affected joint and tissues, restores mobility, thereby alleviating pain and muscle tightness, and allowing tissues to heal. Original Medicare Original Medicare only pays for chiropractic care services deemed to be medically necessary and reasonable. Under the Original Medicare program, coverage of chiropractic care is specifically limited to treatment by means of manual manipulation (by use of the hands) of the spine to correct a subluxation provided such treatment is legal in the state where performed. Additionally, manual devices (i.e., those that are hand-held with the thrust of the force of the device being controlled manually) may be used by chiropractors in performing manual manipulation of the spine. However, no additional payment is available for use of the device or for the device itself.
