    I Built Myself a Jail: The Chiropractor Who Couldn't Rest | Tac Tic Talk #57 with Dr. Chris Tomshack

    In this episode of TAC Tic Talk, Dr. Joe Busch and Jaclyn Touzard sit down with Dr. Chris Tomshack, founder and CEO of HealthSource, to discuss how chiropractors can move beyond personality-driven practices and build systems that create better patient outcomes, stronger businesses, and greater personal freedom. Dr. Tomshack shares how one frustrating vacation revealed that he had not built a business, but a job that could not function without him. That realization eventually led him to develop HealthSource from a single Cleveland-area clinic into a full-scope chiropractic and rehabilitation franchise with more than 130 locations. The conversation explores how chiropractors can replicate themselves through well-trained associates, standardize clinical and operational systems, incorporate advanced rehabilitation technology, and create a practice that continues to perform when the owner steps away. Dr. Tomshack also explains why a systems-based practice may be more valuable at retirement than one built entirely around the reputation and personality of a single doctor. Whether you want to expand to multiple locations, prepare your practice for an eventual sale, or simply take a vacation without watching revenue disappear, this episode offers a practical look at building a clinic that supports your patients without controlling your life.

    Chiropractor: How to become Indispensable to Attorneys | Tac Tic Talk #54

    In this episode of TAC Tick Talk, the conversation turns to one of the most overlooked—and rapidly evolving—areas in chiropractic: personal injury documentation and valuation. Dr. Joe Busch and Jaclyn Touzard sit down with longtime contributor and industry veteran Dr. Frank Liberti to unpack a shift that’s already reshaping the landscape. What emerges is a clear gap between clinical care and how injuries are ultimately valued. As discussed, chiropractors are often delivering exceptional treatment, yet cases continue to be undervalued—not because of care, but because of how outcomes are communicated.  Dr. Liberti introduces a different framework—one that moves beyond traditional documentation into measurable, data-driven analysis. With the integration of AI, trauma inventories, and federally aligned metrics, chiropractors are now positioned to translate real-world patient impact into something attorneys and insurers can quantify. The result is a shift in role—from provider to problem solver. This episode explores how that shift affects referrals, case outcomes, and long-term positioning within personal injury practice. It’s a conversation rooted in experience, but focused on what comes next.

    Adjusted Reality Book Launch with Dr. Sherry McAllister | TAC Tic Talk #052

    In this episode of TAC Tic Talk, we are joined by Dr. Sherry McAllister, President of the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress, international speaker, and bestselling author of Adjusted Reality. At a time when healthcare is being redefined in real time, Dr. McAllister shares how chiropractic is stepping into a broader, more influential role—one that moves beyond pain relief and into whole-being care. From a landmark feature in Forbes to a growing global movement, this conversation explores how the profession is reshaping its message, expanding its reach, and meeting the modern patient where they are. We discuss the evolution of communication in today’s world, including the shift from authority to influence, and how chiropractors can better connect with newer generations through language that resonates—moving from “trauma, toxins, and thoughts” to “pain, poisons, and perspectives.”  Dr. McAllister also shares practical strategies for integrating Adjusted Reality into your practice, not just as a book, but as a tool to educate patients, inspire communities, and strengthen the profession from within. For those interested in learning more or getting involved, visit the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress at https://www.f4cp.org.

    Hydrowave, Healing, and the Business of Regeneration with Dr. Curtis Martin | TAC Tic Talk #51

    In this episode of TAC Tik Talk, Dr. Joe Busch and Jaclyn Touzard welcome Dr. Curtis Martin, a seasoned chiropractor, educator, and regenerative health expert, to share the philosophy and technology behind the Hydrowave system—a new electromagnetic modality designed to activate the body’s innate healing potential. Dr. Martin takes us through the science of cellular signaling, exosomes, and low-energy shockwave therapy, offering a practical look at how this pain-free approach boosts blood flow, recycles damaged cells, and accelerates soft tissue repair. He also pulls back the curtain on the implementation model that’s helped over 100 clinics launch the Hydrowave system profitably—often recouping their investment within the first 90 days. From deep dives into AK testing and tonal technique to stacking modalities like decompression, PEMF, and nutrition, this conversation explores how next-generation tech meets time-tested chiropractic principles. If you’re looking to expand your clinic’s impact while staying rooted in the core values of healing from the inside out, this episode is for you.
