The BIG Idea – BJ Palmer 1944

B.J. Palmer & Chiropractic Practice

Let’s take a friendly journey back to 1944 and meet BJ Palmer, a remarkable chiropractor and the son of chiropractic’s founder, D.D. Palmer. He had this incredible idea that he called “The BIG Idea,” and it has had a lasting impact on chiropractic practice, which we’ll explore together.

BJ Palmer believed that life’s little mishaps, like slipping on an icy sidewalk or falling from a ladder during the summer, could lead to something called “subluxation.” This was basically a tiny misalignment in your spine caused by those small accidents. But even though it seemed small, it could put pressure on your spinal nerves, causing disruptions in your body and brain—what he called “dis-ease.”

Now, here’s where it gets fascinating. BJ Palmer thought that if you could fix these subluxations with chiropractic adjustments (he was quite the expert at these), you could relieve the nerve pressure and restore health. It wasn’t just about making individuals feel better; it was about making whole communities, cities, states, and even nations healthier and happier.

He was so passionate about this idea that he went on to establish chiropractic colleges and institutions to train future generations of chiropractors. He believed that chiropractors held the key to identifying and correcting the root causes of dis-ease.

 “The preservation of health is easier than the cure for disease.”   –    B.J. Palmer
