September is a month full of celebrations throughout our professional history. September 10 we celebrate the birthday of “The Father of ChiropracTIC” Dr. B.J. Palmer. This man was the wisdom behind what each one of us does today, and through his visions and fortitude to stay Specific, it has allowed millions of people to get well and stay well.
Next, we have the birth of our great profession on September 18. This day the first Chiropractic adjustment was given on the Axis vertebrae to a man that had lost his hearing while performing his duties as a janitor.
He explained to Dr. D.D. Palmer, the Founder of Chiropractic, that he was leaning over and heard a ‘pop’ in his neck and lost his hearing. Through his understanding of the body Dr. D.D. simply pushed on Harvey Lillard’s neck in the Upper Cervical area and placed the bone back into position and the hearing restored.Finally, we celebrate September 20 the birthday of Dr. Michael U. Kale, founder of the first formal organized Upper Cervical Specific Knee Chest teachings after the B.J. Palmer Research Years of 1935-1951 and owner of the second ChiropracTIC Hospital in the world, licensed by the State Board Of Health and the Department of Health and Environmental Control, The Kale Specific ChiropracTIC Research Center. This man dedicated his life and the lives of his family to preserving the Upper Cervical Specific Knee Chest work of Dr. B.J. Palmer. He gained his knowledge by humbling himself and listening as the Only D.C. to practice on staff with Dr. Lyle Sherman, who was the assistant director of the B.J. Palmer Research Center during the Official Research years of 1935-1951.
Dr. Kale learned the exact methodology that Dr. Sherman taught to him, which was utilized during those research years. Dr. Kale traveled then world teaching others this very Specific way of analyzing, detecting and adjusting the found vertebral subluxation, yet always maintaining the deepest of integrity to keeping it exact in every form and fashion as humanly possible. He trained hundreds of doctors over his 37 years in practice, and adjusted over a million patients all without ever deviating from the exactness that Dr. Sherman and Dr. Palmer had developed of the solid head piece, knee posture, posterior arch contact style of the art, during the most prolific 16 years of historical research our profession has ever seen. This exacting standard of teaching and coaching is maintained today through Dr. Kale’s last wishes that his youngest son Dr. B.J. Kale would continue to perpetuate his vision and carry out the teaching of the Upper Cervical Knee Chest Procedure at the world renowned TIC institute at the Kale Specific ChiropracTIC Research Center in Charleston, South Carolina.
ChiropracTIC History month is celebrated each year by the Kale Specific ChiropracTIC Foundation at Grove Park Inn, Asheville, North Carolina through a time of reflection and a time of deep philosophy. This is the place where Dr. B.J. Palmer wrote The Bigness of The Fellow Within. His inspiration through his time at Grove Park was incredible. He looked out across the beautiful Smoky Mountains and understood what it is that creates us and keeps us pure. We enjoy this time also through our dedication of being there year after year, in respect and honor that these men have come before us and achieved such great success in Specific ChiropracTIC. We thank these men for their dedication and service to our families and patients. We honor this month as one of the greatest months of the year.
