In this episode of What Chiropractic Doesn't Cure: Stories of Innate, host Jenna Quentin welcomes Dr. Andy Kamerman, a pediatric chiropractor at Radiant Life Chiropractic in Omaha, Nebraska. Dr. Andy shares his personal journey from struggling with focus and anxiety in school to becoming a chiropractor dedicated to helping children with sensory processing challenges. They discuss how chiropractic care impacts brain function, how to measure progress, and the importance of persistence in a child's healing journey.

🔹 Dr. Andy’s Story: From 7th Grade Struggles to Chiropractic – Dr. Andy shares his childhood experiences with focus issues, emotional struggles, and being labeled, misunderstood and verbally abused by teachers. His challenges led him to discover chiropractic’s impact on the brain, which changed the course of his life and career.

🔹 The Moment It Clicked: The Brain Controls Everything – While studying to become a reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Andy attended a chiropractic talk. One simple sentence changed everything: The brain controls the body, and when there is interference, the body struggles. This realization led him to chiropractic as a way to help kids like him.

🔹 Measuring Success with CLA INSiGHT Scans – Dr. Andy emphasizes the importance of tracking progress objectively. He explains how CLA INSiGHT scans measure neurological function, helping parents and chiropractors see improvements over time.

🔹 Stories from the Practice & The Win Journal – Dr. Andy shares remarkable patient stories, including a boy who struggled with emotional outbursts, a child kicked out of multiple schools, and a nonverbal toddler who showed immediate improvement. He also discusses the Win Journal, a simple but powerful tool at the front desk where patients write down their successes. This encourages a culture of positivity and allows new patients to see real-life proof of transformations happening in the office every day. (Beyond celebrating wins, the Win Journal is a genius marketing idea.) Patients naturally share their positive experiences, creating a visible, authentic collection of testimonials. It’s also a conversation starter, helping prospective patients feel confident in their decision to begin care.

🔹 Mom Squad Events: Building Community Around Chiropractic – Dr. Andy and his team organize exclusive events for their most engaged chiropractic moms. These gatherings foster connection, allow parents to ask deeper questions, and create a strong referral network. By pouring into their most loyal patients, Radiant Life Chiropractic turns satisfied parents into passionate advocates.

🔹 Neuroplasticity & Chiropractic for 2-12 Year Olds (and beyond!) – The brain is adaptable! Dr. Andy explains how chiropractic care supports neuroplasticity, making it especially effective for children in their developmental years.

🔹 What Dr. Andy Wants Every Parent to Know – If your child is struggling, don’t give up. The loving, brilliant child you see glimpses of is who they really are. Their behaviors are a response to overwhelm, not their true identity. The brain can regulate and heal—keep searching for answers.
