Dr. Tyler Evans researching Dr. Blair

Dr. Tyler Evans has been digging deep into the personal and professional history of Dr. William Blair, the developer of the Blair Upper Cervical Technique. Major sources in his research has been ancestry.com and newspapers.com

Dr. Blair grew up in Yale, Oklahoma, the son of an insurance salesman and postmaster. In his teens, his life was massively inhibited by severe asthma to the point that he was told he wouldn’t live past his teenage years. A young woman named Beatrice saved his life by referring him to an Upper Cervical Doctor. William Blair found relief and enrolled in Palmer College of Chiropractic during a time when there was lots of research and development of chiropractic techniques.

Some of the topics covered in this episode include:

• Why Dr. Blair ended up in Lubbock, TX.
• How his upbringing influenced his career.
• Dr. Blair’s time at Palmer College; his exposure to research and technique development, as well as his own chiropractic care by Dr. Lyle Sherman.
• The significance of Dr. Blair’s spinograhic research; using 2-D x-ray technology to see 3-D. Our modern technology proves his discoveries.
• Discovering malformations and asymmetry and why that has helped so many people.
• Why studying history is important to modern science and better patient outcomes.
