Chirocast

Want a pediatric exam that is adds functional neurology to chiropractic analysis? And that gives you information not only for your assessment but also for home exercise recommendations? Dr Rubin describes a brief but information rich exam procedure in this podcast originally posted in August 2022 and was last year's most listened-to episode.

There's been a lot of talk lately about the CDC's 2022 changes to the developmental milestones. Crawling is still a milestone whether it was removed from their list or not! Walking and talking generally start around 12 months of age not 15 or 18 months of age! This podcast was recorded live at the 2022 ICPA Gathering and was previously posted in August 2022

Salutogenesis is one of my favorite words to describe what chiropractic does for those humans who receive it. Whereas pathogenesis looks at how disease occurs, salutogenesis focuses on how health occurs, and chiropractic adjustments (as BJ Palmer said) "add life to years and years to life!"

Every quarter I get questions about business but this quarter had some very far-reaching ones!

There is so much more going on than we can possibly understand in how our bodies actually work. There are "critical windows" during development that are so sensitive. During these critical periods, if there is any sort of epigenetic disturbance, it can lead down the line to disrupted neurodevelopment which in turn can totally alter the course of that person's life.

In the late '90's, scientists cloned a sheep. Today they are creating multicellular organisms out of 1 celled organisms, and have figured out a way to take any cell in the body and make it into a 'gamete' cell that can create new life (in vitro gametogenesis). Sounds like what used to be called science fiction is turning into science fact, and although the concept is to 'revolutionize fertility', my concerns are the moral and ethical considerations of such experimentation.

Social media is here to stay. Are there benefits? Sure...but there are costs, huge costs, especially to the mental health of our kids. It's too late to truly regulate Facebook, Instagram, TikTok. We can try as parents to minimize use of these platforms, but ultimately, the one factor that we as chiropractors can do is to make sure that their brain-body connection is as strong and healthy as possible!

Two articles about Autism were published recently that seemingly contradict each other. One says profound Autism is on the rise. The other says that in Autism we have an 'epidemic of diagnosis' which the author calls 'progress.' Taking care of kids on the spectrum for over 30 years, there is NO DOUBT in my mind that there has been a huge increase in the number of kids with Autism, and it is NOT just a case of better diagnostics!

What is your intention? Are you manifesting your dream practice? What does it look like? Feel like? Take pictures of your practice members (especially the kids)...not just posed pictures but that show how much fun the kids are having while in your office. Recorded live at ICPA Connect Atlanta on Saturday, May 13th, 2023.

Is humanity in the process of de-evolving? Evolution in theory shows humanity's ascending from agricultural revolution to industrial to informational ages...but what is happening now? Maybe we are de-evolving to re-evolve? This episode aired also as a Chirosecure webinar.
