Chiro-Picker’s Fresh Pick — Finding Frank Palmer

Documenting the life of DD Palmer, the founder of Chiropractic, has become an exciting endeavor for me.

I knew very little of the man before I began researching him. Actually, if anything, I knew more about the mysteries and myths surrounding his life then that of the truth.

Oakdale Cemeter Frank PalmerAnd to find that truth, I found myself searching beyond the perspective of other Chiropractic historians — beyond what we “already knew”… or thought we knew.

Episode 156 — The Chiropractic Assistant Super Show: Phyllis Frase and Dana Pitner

CA pinSHOW NOTES

Title: The CA Super Show: Phyllis Frase and Dana Pitner

Episode Number: 156

Host: Dr. Thomas Lamar

Show Date: 03/01/13

Run Time: 127:29

Description:   In today’s episode Dr. Lamar pays tribute to the Chiropractic Assistant — the oft unsung heroine (but sometimes hero) in every successful chiropractic office. Joining Dr. Lamar on the program, is his Heroine-Chiropractic-Assistant, Maria.  Listen in as he and his CA of nearly 12 years play two amazing interviews from two top-notch CA’s, Phyllis Frase and Dana Pitner.  These are ladies that know how to “walk the talk” as they roll up their sleeves each and every week to jump in the trenches to train other CA’s and their DC’s to take their game to the next level.  Plus, we all know the history of the DC… but what about the CA??? Lamar digs deep to find out about this little-known history lesson by calling up the BJ Palmer Mansion.
