Chirocast

Why do we do what we do? What is the philosophy and intent behind every adjustment? That is what our practice members truly sense and feel and connect with during each adjustment.

Becoming trauma informed is not just a buzzword or a fad. So many children and adults have had some sort of trauma in their life. During the taking of the practice member's case history, and then during your examination and subsequent adjustment procedures, being trauma informed is an essential tool.

"Functionating" and "Neuroskeleton" are 2 of my favorite words from DD Palmer's 1914 posthumously published book called The Chiropractor. They talk about the essence of what it means to be a neuro based, brain based chiropractor over 110 years ago! Let's get back to the basics!

Dr Sid had these amazing sayings that he would drop on you at every DE meeting or assembly at Life University. Here are a few of my favorites...

Evolution...is that what humanity is doing? Or are we de-evolving? Using research and journal articles as background, Dr Rubin talks about what some are calling De-evolution. Originally presented at the ICPA 2018 Conference.

'Why', 'how', & 'what' are usually the start to the questions soon-to-be graduating students ask regarding their impending futures. The key concept: there are no mistakes. Every choice you make in business (that is legal and honest) is the right one...you can always move, change from being a sports chiropractor to being a pediatric chiropractor, switch practices you are associating in. There are no mistakes, just lessons to be learned from.

Social media isn't social at all. A better name would be, "Antisocial Media" since the anxiety, depression, self-harm and suicide rates have skyrocketed since the supposed social media started with MySpace in 2003 and Facebook in 2004. Listen to the stats and you'll have no choice but to agree...social media is hurting our kids, especially our tweens and teens

Pediatric Chiropractic is a disruptive force in health care. Watching the US health care system since 2020 literally prove to world how unprepared it is to really improve the health of our country, it is time to do something different...and chiropractic IS that something different. Recorded in 2022 at a SABCA meeting.

One of my favorite books is "The Brain That Changes Itself" by Dr. Norman Doidge. It taught me about the importance of neuroplasticity, how the brain really does have an ability to change itself WITH THE RIGHT INPUT! Chiropractic and functional neurology are great input for the nerve system. Originally posted in 2017.

The nerve system is like a tree; the roots are the brain of the tree, the trunk like the spinal cord, and the branches and leaves like the peripheral nerve system. BJ Palmer was the original brain-based chiropractor, since he was writing this style of thought (or as he would have written, thot), way back in 1910.
