The Palmer Lineage
I'm Only Two Removed from the Very Father of Chiropractic.
B.J. Palmer ran the research clinic. Lyle Sherman was his right-hand man there. My father practiced with Dr. Sherman, and I practiced with my father. It'd be like training two removed from Bruce Lee. You're going to learn to kick some butt.
The developer
B.J. Palmer, D.C.
Built the research clinic, and adjusted knee chest, toggle recoil, at the top of the spine.
The right hand
Lyle Sherman, D.C.
Assistant director of the B.J. Palmer Research Clinic.
My father
Dr. Michael Kale
The knee chest king. He practiced with Dr. Sherman, and he invented the tools I still train doctors on.
Today
Dr. Randy Kale
Palmer, 1985. Interned with Dr. E.L. Crowder, then fifteen years at my father's side.
My storyWhat You Learn
Analyze
The Kale series: lateral, AP open mouth, and base posterior. Draw the lines, measure the atlas angle, and name the listing. ASR, ASL, ASRP. That's your combination to the safe.
Check
Instrumentation left and right behind the ear, plus posture. Three objective findings before you ever touch the patient, and the same checks after.
Adjust
The knee chest posture, the palpation map, the posterior arch contact, your torque and your stance. Then one light, fast toggle with recoil. Speed, not force.
It's like opening up a safe. You got to have a combination. Dr. Randy Kale
Practice Success
A Practice People Keep Coming Back to
The adjustment is the art. The practice is how you keep doing it for thirty years. After lunch on Saturday I'll show you how I ran mine.
- Spark, fuel, and air
- The tripod I teach every patient, so they see you for life, not just for a bad week. And yes, kale is on the list. It's a superfood, baby.
- Testing and findings
- How I set up the x-ray analysis and the rechecks so the patient understands exactly what you found and why you're checking again.
- Your name on the map
- Kale Certified doctors are listed on the Find a Doctor directory that patients search by ZIP code.
From the Field
What the Profession Says
Randy proudly carries on the towering legacy of his father, Michael Kale, DC. Raised on the absolute truth of our profession, his conviction for the true philosophy of chiropractic remains profoundly strong and immovable.
Dr. Brian Stillwagon, D.C.Stillwagon Technique, Palmer College classmateRandy has surpassed his own father in the knowledge of chiropractic. One day his name will be etched in a plaque right alongside Dr. B.J. Palmer.
Pastor Mike LawingRestoration Church, Myrtle Beach, SC. A friend of 50+ yearsI've trained with Dr. Kale, and it has been one of the most incredible experiences for me as a student to learn the upper cervical technique.
Dalton RiosChiropractic student, trained with Dr. Kale. Co-owns the company that builds this website.Dr. Kale has welcomed me into his system, and my conviction in myself and in chiropractic has exponentially risen.
Bella MarkhamChiropractic student, trained with Dr. Kale. Co-owns the company that builds this website.My dad used to tell me something.
Randy, I'm going to throw you a ball. You're either going to catch it or drop it.
He was left on the streets of Charlotte at four years old. At nineteen, somebody sent him to a chiropractor, and an adjustment changed the direction of his life. So he went to Palmer. He practiced with Lyle Sherman. He built everything we had on two bones.
His last words to me:“Randy, tell my story. Tell the chiropractic story.”
So I'm telling it. Come catch the ball.
