Dr. Daniel Clark | Upper Cervical Interview

Dr. Daniel Clark Interview

In 1947 Dr. Clark graduated from Palmer after being trained in Palmer HIO, and having attended Dr. John Grostic’s 2nd teaching seminar ever given, where he sat next to Dr. Ralph Gregory.

He practiced Grostic upper cervical in his own 13 bed clinic in Anniston Alabama for 7 years and then moved to California, where after a long sabbatical from upper cervical he developed an upper cervical patient education company.

In this interview, Dr. Clark reveals:

• How he saw combat in WW2 including at the Battle of the Bulge, which led to his nearly having both feet amputated.
• How he practiced upper cervical out of his parents home, including taking xrays in one of the bedrooms
• How his first house call was an upper cervical miracle
• How a tragic bus accident in Los Angeles led to a technological breakthrough that allowed Dr. Clark to retire, in comfort at age 42
• The story of how he came to commission his first upper cervical illustration.

And much more.

Dr. Allen is 89 years old, and an upper cervical living legend.

At 12 years of age Dr. Allen had an accident that left him paralyzed for almost 2 and a half years.

He was literally found by Dr. John Grostic, who adjusted his atlas, and within seconds he had feeling in his legs, and in a short while had enough strength to walk.

He decided right then that he wanted to become a chiropractor, and he went to Palmer, and graduated at 18 years of age.

In this interview, Dr. Allen shares with me:

• His early days growing up in Michigan.
• His paralysis and experience with Dr. Grostic.

• Some truly miraculous cases he was involved in.
