Antique Collector, Todd Waters, is “The Chiro-Picker”
by Todd Waters, aka “The Chiro-Picker” – SpinalColumnRadio guest blogger
For this article my focus is on radio related items from chiropractic history.
The first chiropractic relic I discovered has probably been my best find yet — 1931 BJ Palmer voice recordings on five acetate records. Prior to this picking, I didn’t know who this BJ Palmer character was. I just knew unusual spoken word records were a good sell, and these old recordings were probably valuable.
“Very quickly I began to take an interest in Palmer…. I liked this guy.”
