The first chiropractic school in the world in Davenport, Iowa

Palmer College of Chiropractic is a private chiropractic college with its main campus in Davenport, Iowa. It was established in 1897 by Daniel David Palmer and was the first school of chiropractic in the world. The college's name was originally the Palmer School and Cure and later became the Palmer School of Chiropractic.^[4] Most early chiropractic schools were founded by Palmer alumni.^[5]

History

The Palmer School of Chiropractic was begun by Daniel David Palmer, who is the Founder of Chiropractic. His son, B. J. Palmer, is considered the Developer of Chiropractic because he greatly expanded the scope of the school and laid the foundation for the campus and profession that exists today. He assumed responsibility for the Palmer School of Chiropractic in 1904. According to the Palmer College website, B. J. Palmer's "contributions included extensive research, improved methods of spinal adjusting and analysis, higher standards for chiropractic education, and increased appreciation for chiropractic worldwide".^[6]

After B. J. Palmer died in 1961, his son David D. Palmer became president of the school and changed its name to Palmer College of Chiropractic, which was one of the steps leading to the school's accreditation. "Dr. Dave", as he was known, modernized the campus, established non-profit status for the college, and organized the Palmer College of Chiropractic International Alumni Association. The college received accreditation from the Council on Chiropractic Education and the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools largely through his leadership, but not until after he died in 1978.^[7]

The college opened campuses in San Jose, California in 1980 and in Port Orange, Florida in 2002. The college was once encompassed by the Palmer Chiropractic University System. While it is no longer a university system, Palmer is one college with three campuses, with the main campus located in Davenport, Iowa, and branch campuses (the San Jose campus and the Port Orange campus).
