Abstract/Notes By tracing advice proffered in nineteenth-century “doctor books” (popular, domestic medical guides) and the development of treatments attempted for back pain and related problems during that era, Moore argues that both self-help and professional efforts failed to alleviate back troubles and attendant conditions, and that no definitive treatment for these problems emerged during the nineteenth century. This failure spelled opportunity for chiropractic even though D.D. Palmer and his followers saw themselves as much more than spine specialists with a limited range of usefulness.
