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.
