Chiropractic philosophy—what role does it play in the profession? How does it impact patient care? And is it necessary for chiropractors to embrace it fully?

In this episode of Rocket Chiro Podcast, Dr. Jerry Kennedy sits down with Dr. John Stenberg to dive deep into one of the most debated topics in chiropractic: the role of philosophy in practice.

They discuss the tension between evidence-based and vitalistic chiropractors, the impact of philosophy on clinical decision-making, and whether philosophy has turned into a quasi-religious belief system for some chiropractors.

From the hypocrisy of certain chiropractic marketing strategies to the ethical responsibility of those who claim to “turn power on,” this conversation is raw, insightful, and bound to stir some thoughts. 

Topics Covered:

✔️ Why chiropractic philosophy has always been divisive rather than unifying  ✔️ The fine line between philosophy and evidence-based care  ✔️ The hypocrisy of some “subluxation-based” chiropractors ✔️ Should patients have to adopt chiropractic philosophy to get care?  ✔️ Why the most philosophical chiropractors should be the most precise  ✔️ The real reason medical doctors don’t refer to chiropractors ✔️ Why crapping on pain relief is dumb  ✔️ How chiropractic can regain trust in healthcare
