Growing Your Practice and Life from the Inside Out with Dr. Corey Malnikof

Dr. Steve Tullius and Pacha Hornaday talk with Dr. Corey Malnikof, who grew his practice from one location into a network of clinics before stepping back from patient care to help lead the profession. The discussion covers the volunteerism problem inside chiropractic organizations, the work of the Chiropractic Hub, and why the MAHA movement gives chiropractors a rare opening to shape national health conversations. Listeners get practical takeaways on scaling a practice, unifying a fragmented profession, and growing personally alongside the business.

Dr. Corey Malnikof shares how growing from a struggling new chiropractor into the leader of 24 clinics started with recognizing that the first thing he needed to build was himself. He walks through the shift from adjusting patients to developing doctors, teams, systems, and executive leadership, and how that growth expanded his vision from building successful practices to influencing the direction of the profession. The discussion digs into professional division, the limits of volunteer-driven leadership, and why bringing organizations, colleges, and chiropractors together is essential for creating meaningful change. Corey’s experience comes back to a simple principle: the size of your impact is limited by who you are willing to become, whether you are growing a practice, leading a team, or helping move chiropractic forward.
