    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.

    The Hidden Philosophy You Weren’t Taught but Need to Know with Dr. William Dawson | TAC Tic Talk #048

    In this episode of TAC Tik Talk, Dr. Joe Busch and Jaclyn Touzard sit down with Dr. William Dawson to explore Concept-Therapy—a chiropractic-adjacent philosophy that brings clarity, ethics, and metaphysics back into the healing arts. Founded in the 1930s by Dr. Thurman Fleet, Concept-Therapy has influenced generations of chiropractors, yet remains one of the least understood educational tools in the field today. Dr. Dawson walks us through the foundational principles of Concept-Therapy, how it applies to modern-day clinical practice, and why its holistic view of mind-body unity is more relevant than ever in 2025. From patient communication to ethical clarity, this episode invites chiropractors to consider not just what they do—but why they do it. Concept-Therapy Institute 25550 Boerne Stage Rd.

    Forging the Path of Chiropractic with Dr. Louis Sportelli | TAC Tic Talk #046

    In this episode of TAC Tic Talk, Dr. Joe Busch and Jaclyn Busch Touzard sit down with Dr. Louis Sportelli, one of the most influential figures in chiropractic, whose six-decade career has shaped the profession’s identity and future. From his early days as a Palmer graduate to his leadership roles in state, national, and international organizations, Dr. Sportelli has been at the forefront of advocacy, education, and research. Now serving as president of the NCMIC Foundation, Dr. Sportelli shares insights into how grant funding is advancing chiropractic research, from neuroplasticity to public health policy, and why cultivating DC-PhDs at top institutions is changing the conversation around evidence-based care. He also reflects on the landmark Wilk antitrust lawsuit against the AMA, his latest book Contain and Eliminate, and the ongoing fight for chiropractic’s rightful place in health care. This conversation explores some of today’s most pressing issues: the Medicare bill and its 50-year battle, the challenges of chiropractic education and student debt, the influence of Big Pharma, and how the profession must adapt to thrive in the future. Through it all, Dr. Sportelli emphasizes the values of advocacy, research, and the human connection that has kept chiropractic alive for 130 years. Whether you’re a student, practitioner, or advocate, this episode offers invaluable lessons from a true pioneer who continues to forge the path forward for chiropractic.

    In this episode of TAC Tic Talk, Dr. Joe and Jaclyn Busch speak with Dr. Stephan Ediss, chiropractor, educator, and long-time consultant for Nutri-West, about what it truly means to be the doctor of the future. With decades of clinical experience and a deep background in applied kinesiology, acupuncture, and functional nutrition, Dr. Ediss outlines how chiropractors are uniquely positioned to lead the shift away from sick care and toward a health-first model. Dr. Stephan shares his personal journey into chiropractic, his clinical philosophy centered around neurological organization, and how tools like functional lab analysis and Nutri-West’s FH Eval software help practitioners deliver precise, personalized care. The conversation moves from practical insights into supplementation and gut health, to the deeper values of mentorship, intention, and presence in practice. Dr. Ediss also previews upcoming Nutri-West seminars and shares why education, not sales, is the foundation of lasting impact in holistic care. Nutri-West P.O.
