DD and BJ's 1906 Book of Science and Chiropractic

Dr. George Rhodes discovered chiropractic at 18 years old after a neck injury during a vacation in Wildwood, New Jersey was instantly relieved through his first chiropractic adjustment. That life-changing experience inspired him to pursue a career dedicated to helping others heal naturally.In 1982, he opened his chiropractic practice in Philadelphia, initially using traditional adjusting techniques. After the birth of his daughter in 2005, Dr. Rhodes expanded his approach by studying Koren Specific Technique (KST), a gentle method that uses biofeedback to better understand the body’s needs and support deeper healing.Today, Dr. Rhodes is passionate about helping people restore their health by addressing subluxations and reducing the physical and emotional stress stored within the body. His mission is to elevate human vitality and consciousness through chiropractic care.Dr. Rhodes is a member of the ICA, ICPA, IFCO, and CFoP. He is also a recipient of the Ph.C. Award (Philosopher of Chiropractic), has practiced Reiki Healing since 1995, and became a Fellow of the International Academy of Clinical Acupuncture (FIACA) in 1987.

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.

Tone is the expression of life itself — the body’s innate ability to resist pressure, spring back, and restore balance.Protect the tone, and you protect the principle.

Dr. Haig John and the Synapse Philosphy Team explore D.D. Palmer’s The Chiropractor’s Adjuster (p.911) “Your thoughts are of little value unless you intelligently use them.”What does that mean for chiropractors and chiropractic thinkers? Tune in as they unpack thought vs. action, chiropractic intent, and why philosophy must be lived, not just learned.
