Abstract/Notes

It would seem that for the woman who is often referred to as "The First Lady of Chiropractic," chiropractors of today would know more about her. Other than the familiar observations that Mabel Heath Palmer was wife to B.J. Palmer, the developer of Chiropractic and instructed anatomy at the P.S.C, knowledge of this very important woman is lacking. While we can be sure she was a great support to B.J., did she merely stand in his shadow? What role did she play in the propagation of the profession? This article discusses a little known near death accident of Mabel Heath and examines a chiropractic history that almost wasn't. If she had died in the year 1900, would chiropractic be the same as it is today? And further, without her influence and tireless work supporting the vision of B.J. Palmer, would he have achieved as much?
