80-942: The Palmer School of Chiropractic was begun by Daniel David Palmer , who is the Founder of Chiropractic. His son, B. J. Palmer , is considered the Developer of Chiropractic because he greatly expanded the scope of the school and laid the foundation for the campus and profession that exists today. He assumed responsibility for the Palmer School of Chiropractic in 1904. According to the Palmer College website, B. J. Palmer's "contributions included extensive research, improved methods of spinal adjusting and analysis, higher standards for chiropractic education, and increased appreciation for chiropractic worldwide".

I wished to know what differences there were in two persons that caused one to have certain symptoms called disease which his neighbor living under
480-480: A means to cure disease. In 1896, D. D. Palmer's first descriptions and underlying philosophy of chiropractic was strikingly similar to Andrew Still's principles of osteopathy established a decade earlier.

Both professed the use of spinal manipulation on joint dysfunction to improve health; chiropractors dubbed this manipulable lesion " subluxation " which interfered with

Like his son, Palmer was anti-vaccines: It is the very height of absurdity to strive to 'protect' any person from smallpox or any other malady by inoculating them with a filthy animal poison.
