Synopsis
This episode of The Squadcast brings together chiropractic voices to discuss the biggest subluxations affecting both individual practices and the profession as a whole. The hosts explore what separates thriving doctors from those who merely survive, why communication and philosophy matter, and how chiropractors often neglect their own nervous system health. The conversation closes with a call for a top ten list of people to address subluxations across the profession.
Steve and Pacha dig into the “subluxations” inside the profession that hold chiropractors back: unclear philosophy, weak communication, inconsistent systems, and marketing that undersells the power of chiropractic. They talk openly about why the profession feels fragmented and why so many doctors struggle to explain what they do in ways the public actually understands.Together they reframe chiropractic’s promise and connect it to business. If your systems, leadership, or money mindset are out of alignment, your practice can’t reach its potential either.This episode ends with a challenge: which business subluxations should the Squad tackle next?
