    115. Why Your Adult Patients Need More Than Structural Pain-Based Care

    Dr. Tony Ebel frames this Family Practice Podcast episode as a clinical training on neurologically focused, subluxation-based “neurotonal” chiropractic care for adults, emphasizing lifetime care rather than short-term pain relief, maintenance-only plans, or purely X-ray–driven corrective care. Dr. Tony explains three stages of neurological dysfunction and says most adults present in exhaustion (“wound up but worn out”). He contrasts aggressive structural correction, which can improve X-rays but temporarily worsen HRV/EMG in depleted patients, with a sequenced neurotonal approach using varied forces to release tension, reorganize, and recharge exhaustion so scans, symptoms, and structure improve progressively. ------  Links & Resources:  FREE PX Trainings The Proven Path to a Thriving Family PracticeHow Data-Driven Chiros Are Dominating with Today's ParentsJoin 1,000+ Docs in the PX Membership  Attend a Neuro-Tonal Certification & Adjusting Seminar (20 CEs!) ------  Key Moments:  01:58 Adults Need Neurotonal Care 05:06 Three Stages of Dysfunction 06:38 Wound Up But Worn Out 10:33 Corrective Care vs Neurotonal 18:42 Neurotonal Adjusting Sequence 22:34 Care Plans and Patient Wins ------  Want more of The Family Practice Podcast?  Subscribe to our YouTube channel.

    113. What Every Mom Is Really Asking You in the Consult Room (And How to Answer It)

    Dr. Allie Wright interviews Dr. Sam Grimes of Foundations Chiropractic in Wisconsin on how becoming a mom reshaped her communication with moms in practice. Dr. Sam shares her shift from a pain-based model to pediatrics and perinatal care after two difficult births, and how her daughter Wren's seizures resolved quickly once INSiGHT scans revealed a C1 to C2 pattern, prompting her to go all-in on PX and neurotonal care. She covers addressing shame around birth outcomes, leading consults by listening first, building hope through neuroplasticity and co-regulation, and the team systems that keep goals and wins on track while balancing ownership with family life. ------  Links & Resources:  Foundations Chiropractic:  FREE PX Trainings The Proven Path to a Thriving Family PracticeHow Data-Driven Chiros Are Dominating with Today's ParentsThe NeuroAGE of Perinatal Chiropractic is HereJoin 1,000+ Docs in the PX Membership  Attend a Neuro-Tonal Certification & Adjusting Seminar (20 CEs!) ------  Key Moments:  1:11 Meet Dr. Sam 3:45 From Pain to Peds 9:15 Finding PX Answers 10:14 Seizures Stop Fast 13:19 Day One Consult Hope 16:05 Better Intake Questions 25:47 Mom Story Builds Trust 39:47 They Need Someone Who Cares ------  Want more of The Family Practice Podcast?  Subscribe to our YouTube channel.

    112. Decompression and Shockwave in a Family Practice? Here's My Honest Answer

    Dr. Tony Ebel introduces the Family Practice Podcast and answers a chiropractic student’s question about whether a pediatric and family, subluxation-based cash practice needs to add decompression and shockwave to be financially viable. He explains why many practices add these services. He argues a true family practice doesn’t need them because it benefits from low-cost referrals, lower lead acquisition costs, high retention, and monthly recurring revenue from long-term family wellness plans. He invites listeners interested in converting models to his Pain to Peds program and a free webinar. ------  Links & Resources:  PAIN TO PEDS Program FREE PX Trainings The Proven Path to a Thriving Family PracticeHow Data-Driven Chiros Are Dominating with Today's ParentsThe NeuroAGE of Perinatal Chiropractic is HereJoin 1,000+ Docs in the PX Membership  Attend a Neuro-Tonal Certification & Adjusting Seminar (20 CEs!) ------  Key Moments:  01:08 Student DM Dilemma 05:01 Family Practice Math 11:44 Marketing Cost Reality 14:36 Purpose Over Profit 19:49 Retention And MRR ------  Want more of The Family Practice Podcast?  Subscribe to our YouTube channel.

    111. Your MAHA Update: The Doors Are Flying Open in Washington for Chiropractic

    Dr. Tony Ebel delivers a MAHA update from inside the Chiropractic MAHA Hub, the historic alignment between the ICA, the ACA, and MAHA leadership turning decades of division into real, funded momentum. He breaks down the early wins already in motion, the Medicare Modernization Bill, VA access for veterans, research funding, reimbursement, and equity, and the message he delivered himself in DC: nervous system first, subluxation-based care first, pediatric and family chiropractic first. The reception from policymakers was strong, including interest in funding research. Tony calls on the profession to stop sitting on the sidelines, donate, contact legislators, and help make chiropractic the first call for families, not the last. ------  Links & Resources:  Donate to the mission: http://go.mahaaction.org/PX-Docs ------  Key Moments:  01:06 MAHA Update Begins 02:12 Why Unity Matters 04:09 Call to Action Donate 06:32 Backstory Joining MAHA 09:50 DC Meeting Medicare Push 13:01 Hub Initiatives Strategy 16:14 Nervous System Takes Stage 17:55 PX Membership Break 19:24 Tony's MAHA Presentation 26:10 Big Wins and Gratitude 28:52 Links Next Steps Closing 31:42 Final Rallying Cry ------  Want more of The Family Practice Podcast?  Subscribe to our YouTube channel.

    110. Who Not How: The System That Took Living Water From Maxed Out to Next Level Growth

    Maybe you're not stuck because you need another marketing funnel. You're stuck because you're still doing the CA's job. Dr. Matt Hill sits down with Sadie Smith — office manager at Living Water Chiropractic and PX team member — for the conversation every maxed-out doc needs. Sadie went from part-time CA to running the entire operations side of a practice that scaled past 1,000 visits a week. In this episode, she breaks down the systems Living Water handed off first (hint: it's not what you think), the culture shift that made delegation stick, and why "Don't Bother the Bersanis" became the phrase that changed everything ------  Links & Resources:  FREE PX Trainings The Proven Path to a Thriving Family PracticeHow Data-Driven Chiros Are Dominating with Today's ParentsThe NeuroAGE of Perinatal Chiropractic is HereJoin 1,000+ Docs in the PX Membership  Attend a Neuro-Tonal Certification & Adjusting Seminar (20 CEs!) ------  Key Moments:  2:00 Sadie's origin story, patient, to CA, to office manager 11:00 The ceiling every practice hits before they bring on operational leadership 14:00 "Don't bother the Bersanis," how one phrase reset the whole team's decision-making 20:00 Working Genius and why culture change starts with naming the gap 28:00 The case for taking everything else off the doctor’s plate first 29:00 Scanning: the first system every growing practice should hand off 38:00 Switching EHRs without stopping the practice, how Sadie led the project the Bersanis didn't have bandwidth for 41:00 The Italy test, what happens when the docs fully step back 45:00 Sadie's encouragement for docs and CAs who feel stuck in the mud ------  Want more of The Family Practice Podcast?  Subscribe to our YouTube channel.

    109. The 90-Day Test: Would Your Practice Survive Without You? — The Four-Part Practice Evaluation

    Dr. Tony Ebel introduces the Family Practice Podcast and teaches a four-part framework to evaluate a chiropractic family practice in a specific order: (1) clinical results (“miracle metrics”) as the foundation, emphasizing measurable transformations, strong outcomes for babies and complex cases, and how results drive referrals, retention, compliance, and pricing; (2) patient experience/NPS tracked via “page two” progress questionnaires, with sample survey questions and reported high ratings, plus the role of team, technology, and automation in convenience and education; (3) business scoreboards and financial KPIs, highlighting care plan compliance as a key overlooked metric tied to outcomes and profitability; and (4) longevity, scalability, and sellability, including monthly recurring revenue, reducing key-person dependency, and building systems so the practice can run without the owner while preserving purpose. ------  Links & Resources:  FREE PX Trainings The Proven Path to a Thriving Family PracticeHow Data-Driven Chiros Are Dominating with Today's ParentsThe NeuroAGE of Perinatal Chiropractic is HereJoin 1,000+ Docs in the PX Membership  Attend a Neuro-Tonal Certification & Adjusting Seminar (20 CEs!) ------  Key Moments:  01:08 Four Part Evaluation 06:05 Part One Clinical Results 15:51 Part Two Patient Experience 26:45 Part Three Scoreboards 34:36 Part Four Sellable Practice 40:34 Freedom And Focus ------  Want more of The Family Practice Podcast?  Subscribe to our YouTube channel.

    108. Quit Care Planning for Pain Relief. Second Trimester Moms Need This Instead

    Dr. Allie Wright explains why the second trimester matters clinically and in communication. She reviews how nutrition to the baby shifts and how stress hormones and emotions can play a huge part in the future health of the child. She connects maternal stress to fetal nervous system development, temperament, immune/allergy risk, and gut microbiome transmission, arguing chiropractors should focus on nervous system regulation and appropriate care plans rather than only pain relief or supplements.
