What really happens when you graduate as a chiropractor?

In this episode of Inside Chiropractic, Dr Marcello, Dr Oz, Dr Edwina, and Dr Liz introduce themselves and share their unique journeys through chiropractic—across different countries, practice styles, and stages of life.

From there, the conversation shifts into the reality of the first few years in practice—something rarely spoken about openly.

They break down the common struggles new grads face:

• Low confidence despite years of study
• Empty appointment books and uncertainty around growth
• Challenges with communication and patient retention
• Not fully understanding what chiropractic really is
• Feeling like you’re the only one struggling

The team also shares what actually helped them move forward:

• The role of mentorship and coaching
• Why communication is often the missing link
• How philosophy and clarity create confidence
• The importance of systems and guidance early on

If you’re a chiropractic student, new grad, or early in your career, this episode will help you understand that what you’re experiencing is normal—and more importantly, how to start moving forward.
