D.D. Palmer's, The Chiropractor
The displaced bones of any luxated joint may impinge upon a nerve, or by their displacement cause a nerve to be stretched, thereby creating inflammation. - Palmer, D.D. (2007-09-03). The Chiropractor (p. 48).
These conditions may be relieved by adjusting the displaced vertebrae which impinge against the nerves. Palmer, D.D. (2007-09-03). The Chiropractor (p. 62).
A displacement displaces vertebrae, spreads them apart, does not draw them together. - Palmer, D.D. (2007-09-03). The Chiropractor (p. 69).
Do you not see that the long, wide gap between the atlas and axis affords no possible chance for nerve compression—no more than there is between the atlas and occiput? If you think the first or second spinal nerves can be pinched, compressed or squeezed by the approximation of the atlas and the axis or the drawing together of the occiput and the atlas, just try to explain such a condition to your next prospective patient. - Palmer, D.D. (2007-09-03). The Chiropractor (p. 50).
The intervertebral disks are not compressed, made thinner, the nerves are not occluded, pinched or impinged upon. We, as chiropractors, have no use for such unscientific terms as “The spinal windows are occluded, closed up.” - Palmer, D.D. (2007-09-03). The Chiropractor (pp. 89-90).
The importance of bone pressure, nerve impingement, nerve tension, the all important fact that the position of the osseous frame, the neuroskeleton of the human body, has all to do with the amount of nerve tension, normal or abnormal, known as nerve strain, the amount of heat, is never mentioned, in fact, is never thought of by the teachers of medical or chiropractic schools. - Palmer, D.D. (2007-09-03). The Chiropractor (p. 107).
Knowing the structure of bones and nerves, the names of each and all their surfaces, the descriptive terms, nomenclature and classification, their location and functions, do not inform us of the importance which chiropractors should attach to the position of bones. - Palmer, D.D. (2007-09-03). The Chiropractor (p. 108).
Why remain satisfied with a meager knowledge of the science, art and philosophy of chiropractic? Why not advance onward and upward toward perfection[…] - Palmer, D.D. (2007-09-03). The Chiropractor (p. 16).

So, in the meantime, I'll be sharing some thoughts on one of my 'Tic Picks. The ebook version of D.D. Palmer's first book, "The Chiropractor" is available on Amazon Kindle for just $3.99. It's full of interesting tidbits that inspire and may surprise even the most philosophically minded chiropractor or student. This is Part 1.
