Join host Jon Kec for a truly meaningful episode that honors 80 years of standing shoulder to shoulder with the chiropractic profession.
In this special conversation, Jon sits down with Dr. Lou Sportelli, a clinician, advocate, and one of chiropractic’s most respected voices, to reflect on how NCMIC was born from a simple but powerful idea: chiropractors taking care of one another when no one else would.
Dr. Sportelli shares personal stories from the early days of practice, the challenges the profession faced, and the moments that shaped both chiropractic and NCMIC into what they are today. This isn’t just a history lesson, it’s a reflection on trust, resilience, and the shared responsibility of protecting a profession built on service and care.
As chiropractic looks to the future, NCMIC’s promise of “We Take Care of Our Own” continues to guide chiropractors through a changing healthcare landscape.
If you care about where this profession has been, where it’s headed, and the people who made the journey possible, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
