The Final Pages of DD Palmer: Philosophy, Power, and the Future of Chiropractic

After years of study, discussion, and deep philosophical exploration, we finally close the final pages of DD Palmer’s 1910 classic, The Chiropractor’s Adjuster.This episode is more than a conclusion. It’s a reflection on what chiropractic was, what it is becoming, and what may be at risk of being forgotten.Dr. Haig John and the Synapse Philosophy Group revisit the foundational principles laid out by DD Palmer—nerve tension, innate intelligence, the cause versus the effect—and unpack their relevance in today’s profession.From the distinction between impingement and pressure, to the idea that spirit, soul, mind, and body are separate entities, this conversation dives into the philosophical roots that shaped chiropractic into something far greater than a mechanical practice.You’ll also hear powerful real-world stories, reflections from chiropractors at different stages in their journey, and a renewed call to return to the principles that built the profession.If you’ve ever felt disconnected from the philosophy…If you’ve ever wondered what chiropractic really stands for…Or if you’re ready to be “re-dipped” into the deeper meaning of your work…This episode is for you.We close with DD Palmer’s own words—a final poem and a reminder that the ultimate goal is simple:Do your best. Help humanity. Leave something behind that matters.
