An Early History of Chiropractic: The Palmers and Australia (TIC Chiropractic White Books) Paperback – January 1, 2014

While most chiropractic histories stop at the Iowa border, An Early History of Chiropractic: The Palmers and Australia reveals the high-stakes struggle to preserve the "Straight" Chiropractic identity on a global stage. This is a book about Australia and its rigorous investigation into the early Palmer School of Chiropractic (PSC), documenting how D.D. Palmer's and B.J. Palmer’s original graduates fought to maintain professional purity against overwhelming medical and legal opposition. Featuring rare insights into the evolution of chiropractic x-ray analysis, the development of early adjusting tables, and the "Lost Technology" of the profession, this volume serves as a critical case study in professional survival. Whether you are a student of the Palmer lineage or a practitioner seeking to understand the structural and philosophical roots of your craft, Dr. Rolf Peters provides the definitive evidence of how the PSC's early years shaped the global future of the subluxation-centered objective and chiropractic in Australia and the world.
