Chirocast

"We work on the subtle substance of the soul" is one of my favorite BJ Palmer quotes from the story, "This Inner Power Speaks." Dr Palmer doesn't mention back pain or even the spine...he talks about how we are working on the nerve system which helps our innate intelligence work at 100%!

One of my favorite BJ Palmer 'stories' from my favorite Green Book, The Bigness of the Fellow Within, (1949), brings us back to chiropractic's roots. Come with Dr Rubin in a journey down the Green Book Lane episodes.

Pediatrics is disruptive! Especially chiropractic pediatrics...we are filling a niche that noone else fills, seeing kids that really need specialized care and attention. Honored to be serving the kiddos that we see.

Polyvagal and Prediction? At first, most people don't see how they fit, but Dr Rubin makes it seamless in how well these 2 theories work together, especially when dealing with children with Autism. This talk was presented to the World Chiropractic Congress of Students at Life University. (Please note: this is a secondary recording therefore the sound quality is slightly off. )

EDS or Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, is something I have been seeing lots more of in the last 5 or so years, so wanted to create a brief overview of what it is and some of the other issues seen associated with EDS.

There are no words to describe how important and influential Dr. Guy Riekeman was on my life, my wife's life, to Life University, and to chiropractic as a whole. His passing marks the end of an era of visionary leadership that he spearheaded throughout his years in chiropractic. He sure is and will be missed.

How Does Autism & the Polyvagal Theory Relate? Dr Rubin explains how pediatric chiropractors can use Polyvagal concepts with their neurodevelopmentally challenged children.

In 1907, the chiropractic profession was only 12 years old, but a landmark case declared that chiropractic was 'separate and distinct' from allopathic/medical care. This changed the profession forever! Learn a little of the history right here!

Chiropractic care can be so helpful for them, whether it is early issues like rolling, crawling or walking difficulties, or later issues in preschool or elementary school, pediatric chiropractic can accelerate their nerve system's potential!

The brain grows from the bottom-up, until top-down regulation can be acheived, according to Dr. Robert Melillo. At the same time as vertical growth is occurring, horizontal integration is happening, with the right brain having stronger growth in the first 2 years and the left brain having stronger growth in the 2nd two years..

We see amazing stories everyday in our pediatric, brain-based chiropractic practices. Yet so many of these amazing stories are just the brain and body working better together, the way they are supposed to!

How are emotions, proprioception, & hypermobility connected in people who are neurodivergent? One possible connector of these 3 seemingly disconnected pieces I believe to be the hypomobility of small joints of the spine (causing spinal misalignment or subluxation).

Obesity overtakes malnourishment for the first time in history in children. According to a recent article in The Economist, the amount of overweight and obese children is actually more than those who are underweight due to not getting enough food. And this is worldwide...not just in the wealthier nations. Wow...ultraprocessed food combined with sedentary lifestyles leads to poorer health outcomes....
