Why people recommend it
The Chiropractor by D.D. Palmer is the foundational text and posthumous manifesto of the founder of chiropractic medicine, outlining his theories on innate intelligence and spinal adjustment. On The Joe Rogan Experience and Behind the Bastards, host Joe Rogan and regular host Robert Evans discussed the bizarre and heavily spiritual origins of the practice as documented in Palmer's writings. Evans detailed how Palmer believed a vertebra had slipped from its normal position and that replacing it could miraculously restore a patient's hearing, an event considered the birth of the first chiropractic adjustment. The podcasts explored Palmer's autobiographical claims that his techniques and philosophy were derived from seances where he communicated with the spirit of a deceased physician named Dr. Jim Atkinson. Palmer viewed the work as his ultimate masterpiece, hoping to establish chiropractic as a ghost religion with himself at the center, though he passed away before he could fully edit and officially publish the manuscript, which finally appeared in print in 1914.

“In order to make this case authoritatively and establish a bright future for chiropractic with himself as spine cracking Jesus, DD Palmer began to work on a book he believed would be his masterpiece, The Chiropractor. He finished this work, but before he could edit and publish it, he died.”
“The next year, 1914, his manifesto was published. In it, he laid out his theory of innate intelligence. Did he call it a manifesto? No, he called it the chiropractor.”
