Week 7
Midterm is next week! Do the Study Guide!!!! It is open note/open book
BJ Years ppt
BJ Palmer like technology and reportedly owned the first Horseless Carriage west of the Mississippi River
He also introduced X-ray to Chiropractic in 1901
2nd X-ray machine in the US
X-rays were taken up against the machine, while patient laid down and held their breath for 20-30 seconds
Standing X-rays weren’t taken until the 1930’s
First “EEG”
BJ invented new ways of adjusting
promoted way to hold hands while applying pressure (one hand on patient, other hand holding wrist
Promoted lines of drive
BJ heavily promoted the device called Neurocalometer (NCM) which was a 2-pronged unit that would indicate the area of subluxation based on spinal heat sensing
he wouldn’t sell it, instead he leased it to other people
Dossa Evins is the actual inventor of the NCM
1st change to this machine was a hand-held unit called the Neurocalograph (NCGH) which would provide kymographic tracings
BJ INSISTED that every Chiro have one of these along with an X-ray machine.
Not everyone agreed to this
Some of the chiropractic leaders rejected this idea
This caused Palmer School of Chiropractic enrollment to drop from 3,000 to 300 in one year
Firth, Vedder and Burich all left PSC due to all this
They started Lincoln Chiropractic College together
Following this drop in enrollment, BJ and his wife left to travel the world
Dr Cleveland rejected the NCM but helped BJ start the Chiropractic Health Bureau (CHB)
Cleveland was still active in the NCA
They created the ACCA (Associated Chiropractic Colleges of America) in 1938
NCA adopted “Chiropractic Angel” as symbol in 1934
now there are a lot of variations of this angel
UCA became ICA in winter of 1940-1941
Stephenson’s Chiropractic Textbook had 33 principles
#1 = The Major Premise:
a universal intelligence is in all matter and continually gives to it all it properties and actions, thus maintaining it in existence
#2 = the chiropractic meaning of life
#5 = the perfection of the triune
#6 = The Principle of Time
There is No process that does not require time
#20 = Innate Intelligene
#22 = The Amount of Innate Intelligence
#31 = Subluxations
Safety-pin cycle:
easiest way of thinking how the nervous system works adapts to the internal and external environments with the body
Closed-loop system to continuously cycles through impulses
If the cycle is broken, it may proliferate involuntarily, and stop responding
The Universal Cycle:
innate intelligence to innate brain
Innate brain either goes to innate body or educated brain
The educated brain goes to educated body
This is a closed-loop system (every impulse goes both ways on its pathway)
1934 - BJ authored “The Subluxation Specific - The Adjustment Specific”
AA Wernsing, DC - credited with giving BJ the idea
The “Hole-In-One” Atlantoaxial joint
The New Technique (HIO) called for new technology
They began taking 3D images of the Cervical Spine
John J Nugent, DC
“Abraham Flexner of Chiropractic” by some
BJ called him the “anti-Christ of Chiropractic”
BJ started two clinics:
BJ Palmer Clinic
Clear view Clinic (overnight patient stays)
BJ was considered a celebrity, and even got to go one the campaign trail with Truman
BJ died May 1961 of Stomach Cancer
Subluxation has more than 100 synonyms
Dr Montgomery’s favorite is #81: Spinal Boo Boo
