J. Irvin Deffibaugh Sr.
Palmer, 1926
After graduating from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa in 1926, Irvin returned to his hometown of Osterburg, PA to open the only local clinic.
His beliefs were that the chiropractic science teaches that energy is generated in the brain and travels to all parts of the body through the nervous system.
