Friend and Rev. Samuel Weed suggested combining the words cheiros and praktikos (meaning "done by hand") to describe Palmer's treatment method, creating the term "chiropractic." In 1896, DD added a school to his magnetic healing infirmary, and began to teach others his method. It would become known as Palmer School of Chiropractic (now Palmer College of Chiropractic), located in Davenport, Iowa
