Steve Small speaks with Ryan Rieder, chiropractor, former clinic owner and founder of DC Practice Growth. Ryan shares his journey from running a busy chiropractic clinic to coaching clinics and providing full service marketing support to practices across the profession.

The conversation explores what is changing in the clinic landscape, including recruitment challenges, increased competition and rising patient expectations. Ryan discusses the opportunities available to clinic owners who are willing to think strategically, build strong teams and develop clear systems.

A key part of the discussion focuses on spinal decompression and why more clinics are integrating IDD Therapy into their programmes of care. Ryan explains how decompression complements chiropractic, supports patients with disc related conditions and can provide structured, sustainable growth for clinics.

This episode is practical and reflective, offering insights for chiropractors, physiotherapists and osteopaths who want to strengthen their clinic, improve patient outcomes and build a more resilient business.
