Abstract/Notes Chiropractic is known for its stories of patients experiencing remarkable recoveries after their subluxations are adjusted. One such case is the Colonel Allen case. Colonel William Allen, who was also a chiropractor, served his country in World War II but in the spring of 1941 his service was temporarily interrupted because of a serious illness (liver cancer). After receiving medical care at Ft. Benning Hospital and then at Walter Reed Army Hospital, army physicians told Mrs. Allen that her husband might pass away “at any time.” The Colonel then consulted his colleagues at the B.J. Palmer Chiropractic Clinic in Davenport where they discovered a subluxation in the Colonels’ upper cervical spine. The subluxation was adjusted and soon after, the Colonel recovered his health. When he reported back to Walter Reed for a check-up, Colonel Allen had to introduce himself to army doctors because they did not recognize him in his recovered state. Soon after this incident, the Colonel returned to active duty in Europe, where he received numerous awards and promotions. After the war, Colonel Allen practiced chiropractic for many years. Colonel Allen’s story is one of perseverance on his part, and conservative chiropractic care on the part of the B.J. Palmer Chiropractic Clinic staff.
