On September 18, 1997, one hundred and two years after D.D. Palmer delivered the profession’s first adjustment, adventuring chiropractic historians, Dr. Myron Brown and Dr. Gene Zdrazil, set a modest stone marker on a piece of land once owned by the founder — a piece of land that Palmer affectionately referred to as “Sweet Home.”
For Brown and Zdrazil, memorializing this historic location of chiropractic was easy. Finding it was hard. Continue reading

One of the things I appreciate about Social Media (and that would include podcasts such as ours) is that it allows us to virtually step off our “island” and relate and inspire (and be inspired by) our colleagues — colleagues that are right there in the trenches with us.
Such was the case with when fellow chiropracTOR Steve Tullius posted a critical and timely message on Facebook reminding us WHAT IT IS WE DO as chiropractors. Thank you Steve for granting me permission to share your post in this way. And make sure you tune into SCR 166, because I’ll be talking about it too!

While I’ll be the first to agree that the advent of Web 2.0 and its ensuing social media revolution is chock full of pitfalls and traps, it does have some definite advantages. One in particular is its ability to create strong communities of people united by a common interest that could never have come together otherwise, let alone meet. Such is the case with social networking platforms, such as Facebook, and the principally-grounded chiropractor. We chiropractors tend to be isolated islands, busy taking care of the people that seek us out as we proclaim an outlook on health that counters the vast sea that surrounds us. It’s easy to get beat down at times. And this is precisely how avenues such as Facebook can become a virtual life raft for practitioners like myself. This outlet has enabled me to connect with hundreds of…

I love the oft quoted maxim from our developer, Dr. BJ Palmer, that states, “You never know how far reaching something you think, say, or do today, will affect the lives of millions tomorrow.” It’s so true. And what’s so true about this quote is that it works in reverse too. Because it’s the things that we DON’T THINK, SAY, or DO today that have potential to also impact the lives of millions tomorrow.
In this Spinal Column Reblog, we’re retelling a story that demonstrates BJ’s quote in action. The chiropractor is Dr. Kevin Donka; and what you’ll see is that his action aboard a jet plane not only impacted the life of a little one, but every other person on board as well.
….But that was what happened “today.” For when Dr. Donka, stepped out of his comfort zone to do the right thing, his mind could not have fathomed the impact it would have on “tomorrow.” For the momentum of this now three-year-old-plus inspirational and moving story will, no doubt one day, affect the lives of millions as people like you retell it.

On a flight home, chiropractor Kevin Donka settled into his seat. Behind him was a mother with her baby.
As the flight took off, the baby — as many will — began to cry. The mother did everything in her power to quiet the little one… but to no avail. The child simply would not calm down. And then something happened that every parent fears while flying — the child’s cry catapulted to a full-tilt shrill. Again, the mother tried and tried but the child could not be comforted.
At about minute ten of the full-blown wail, Dr. Donka began to think to himself, “Maybe I should offer to help. Maybe there is something I can do.”
