Death Of Dr John Martin, Leading Texan Chiropractor And Wellness Practitioner

Saturday, September 9, 2017 16:22

It is with considerable sadness that I report the passing to higher consciousness of my good friend, Dr John Martin DC FICCA, pictured. John passed on at 5.05 am on September 9, 2017, aged 78.

Dr John Martin, who was born in Texas in 1939, grew up in Tyler (the ‘Rose Capital of America’) in Smith County, Texas, a city named for John Tyler, the 10th President the United States of America. He attended John Tyler High School, Tyler TX; Tyler Junior College, Tyler TX, 1957-59; San Antonio College, San Antonio TX, 1962-64; and Texas Chiropractic College, Pasadena TX, 1960-64. He was a Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) and a Fellow of the International College of Clinical Acupuncture and also had other qualifications in health care.

A chiropractor of several decades experience (in his later years, the owner/clinician, Barton Creek Chiropractic, 1990-2006; Contemporary Health Care, 2008-2014), an acupuncturist, and an applied kinesiologist (instructor and mentor, Touch for Health, Kinesiology Association), John was a Past President of the Texas Chiropractic Association (as well as its sometime Secretary), a Past President of Travis County Chiropractic Society, and a Past President of the Congress of Chiropractic State Associations (COCSA). He was also a Past Chairman, Academic Affairs, Texas Chiropractic Association Board of Regents (also serving for 6 years on the Board of Regents).

Most notably, he was a member of the Commission which produced the Guidelines for Chiropractic Quality Assurance and Practice Parameters (‘Mercy Guidelines’) (Aspen Publishers, 1993; Jones and Bartlett Publishers, 2005), being one of only 35 chiropractors selected internationally to co-author the chiropractic industry’s first Standard of Care. In addition, he was co-author of the Texas Guidelines for Chiropractic Quality Assurance and Practice Parameters and a longtime editor of the Texas Chiropractic Association Journal for which he wrote many articles over the years. He attended the World Chiropractic Summit in London UK in 1987 and was also a highly respected expert witness on chiropractic standard of care in malpractice litigation (see eg Williams v Heuser Chiropractic, 2004 WL 100462 (Tex.App.-Tyler, 2004)).

With his wife Kay, John was a longtime member of Unity Church of the Hills, in Austin TX, at which he facilitated various seminars and workshops on natural stress reduction and other subjects. John was a liberal Democrat who knew quite a few Democrat Governors of Texas. An Eagle Scout, he was also heavily involved in the Boy Scouts of America and loved the great outdoors.

In early 2000, during my sabbatical from teaching at UTS, Elspeth and I spent several weeks in Texas with John and Kay, also touring the states of New Mexico and Louisiana. I was studying the use of complementary and alternative medicine in recovery from addiction. We were based at John and Kay’s home in Austin and they were both gracious hosts and knowledgeable tour guides. John was proud to be a native-born Texan. I will always remember the time he took us over the Texas State Capitol at night. It was a memorable evening. Another memorable occasion was when John took Elspeth and me to San Antonio to go over The Alamo. Another Native-born Texan was selling and autographing copies of his book inside the building. I remember John talking for some time to the author about Texan history and the Battle of the Alamo, in which even some Australians fought. The Aussie flag was one of many in the grounds of The Alamo. Anyway, the author inscribed John’s copy of the book, ‘From one native-born Texan to another.’

Then there was the visit to the LBJ Presidential Library, the old French embassy, the Governor’s Mansion, the Law School of the University of Texas at Austin, Texan restaurants, Lake Travis, Texas bluebells, worship at Unity, complimentary chiropractic sessions (even in a restaurant in San Antonio), et al … Yes, so many happy memories of my UTS sabbatical spent there.

Shortly after Elspeth and I came back from our time in Texas with kay and John, it gave me great joy to be able to facilitate John in gaining State Government registration here in NSW as a chiropractor.

I am relieved that John is now out of pain. He be greatly missed. He has returned to the ineffable Light, from which we all come and to which we all ultimately return. Ever onward, ever upward.

Our loving hearts, thoughts and prayers go out to John’s widow Kay as well as to John’s many family members at this sad time.
