Summary Chiropractic is by far the most common form of alternative medicine in the US today, but its origins stretch back to the battles between science and religion in the nineteenth century. At the center of the story are chiropractic's colourful founders, D.D. Palmer and his son, B.J. Palmer. Holly Folk shows how the Palmers' system depicted chiropractic as a conduit for both material and spiritualized versions of a 'vital principle'.
