Hosts Paul Andrews and Dr. Mark Davini examine the Luigi Mangione case — the 2024 shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson — and explore the alleged motives tied to frustrations with the U.S. health insurance system. They discuss the case details, media reaction, and the broader question of violence, mental state, and misplaced activism.

The episode breaks down systemic healthcare issues cited in the conversation: soaring premiums (over 325% since 2000), rising deductibles and copays, restrictive medical policies, pre-authorizations and gatekeepers, and the real-world impact on providers and patients. The hosts also note insurers’ reactions and the tension between coverage on paper and actual access to care.

Turning to chiropractic practice, Paul and Dr. Davini offer practical takeaways for providers: focus on demonstrating and selling the value of chiropractic beyond insurance, consider direct-pay and supportive services, empower staff and patients, and use this tragic case as a moment to reflect on constructive ways to address systemic frustrations without resorting to violence.

Attorney Jennifer Herlihy joins hosts Paul Andrews and Dr. Mark Davini to discuss chiropractic malpractice and board defense. Topics include trial preparation and strategy, depositions, juror vetting, common board allegations (including stroke and inappropriate touching), the impact of social media and billboard marketing, and the rise of high-stakes catastrophic claims. Attorney Herlihy shares real-world stories from her 25+ years defending health professionals and emphasizes the role of expert witnesses and realistic expectations about outcomes.

Listeners will learn practical advice for clinicians: be proactive with documentation, compliance, and continuing education; never alter notes after a complaint; involve your malpractice carrier early; seek mental-health support when stressed; and avoid dating patients. Expect candid legal insights, tips to manage investigations, and takeaways to better protect your practice.

Join Paul Andrews and Dr. Mark Davini on All Things Chiropractic as they explore how to identify high‑quality continuing education for chiropractors. This episode covers why CE exists, how times (and techniques) are changing rapidly—post‑COVID and with AI—and what to look for when vetting courses and presenters.

Paul and Dr. Davini discuss the regulatory perspective, minimum safety standards, scope‑of‑practice issues, and the difference between content that merely awards hours versus content that changes practice. They share real examples (kinesiology, acupuncture, cupping), the value of in‑person learning, and the importance of including staff training like billing and coding.

Practical tips include checking presenter credentials and reviews, choosing topics that interest and will impact your clinic, knowing your state’s regulations before adopting techniques, and using CE to build confidence rather than just tick a box.

Expect actionable advice for new grads and seasoned doctors alike on selecting CE that’s meaningful, practice‑changing, and keeps you and your team current and competent.

Join hosts Paul Andrews and Dr. Mark Davini with special guest Dr. Heidi Haavik as they explore the latest science behind chiropractic care. Dr. Haavik, a chiropractor and PhD in human neurophysiology, explains how subluxations affect paraspinal muscles and brain function, why precise adjustments produce widespread changes, and how chiropractic care can influence sleep, blood pressure, digestion, tinnitus and more.

The episode covers research findings on muscle recruitment, neuroimmune markers, gene expression changes after care, and clinical trials that compare techniques and outcomes. Dr. Haavik discusses the importance of translating science into clear patient communication, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the role of platforms like Chiroshub.com in educating clinicians and patients.

Explore Dr. Haavik’s personal story, professional insights on technique versus art, the need for the profession to “own its science,” and upcoming masterclasses on chiropractic and the immune system. Expect practical takeaways for practitioners and patients about regular care, how adjustments can ‘wake up’ the brain, and the future direction of chiropractic research.

In this episode of All Things Chiropractic, hosts Paul Andrews and Dr. Mark Davini welcome special guests Dr. Christopher Proulx and Jacob Currier (MedCor) to discuss advanced clinical tools and an upcoming hands‑on workshop. The conversation covers Dr. Proulx’s journey into chiropractic care and how modern modalities complement traditional adjustments.

Dr. Proulx explains Shockwave therapy—how acoustic, high‑pressure sound waves stimulate healing, help resorb calcifications, support nerve and tissue regeneration, and aid chronic tendinopathies and other stubborn conditions. He also breaks down Class 4 (high‑power) laser therapy and photobiomodulation, describing how higher power and longer wavelengths enhance therapeutic effects.

Jacob Currier outlines the business and implementation side: MedCor’s consultative approach, the importance of hands‑on training and standardized protocols, staff roles (including properly trained assistants), marketing, and how these services create new revenue streams and improve patient retention. They emphasize overcoming adoption barriers and ensuring clinicians believe in and properly integrate new technologies.

Details: a full‑day workshop (6 CEUs) on March 13 at the Four Points Sheraton Norwood hosted by Tools of Practice with MedRay and MedCorp. The session focuses on practical, clinic‑ready instruction—live equipment use, protocol integration with adjustments, and guidance for staff and business implementation.

Hosts Paul Andrews and Dr. Mark Davini dive into why chiropractors get pulled away from patient care and how to get back to what you love. They cover generational motivations for entering the profession, the realities of running a practice, declining insurance reimbursement, pricing strategies, delegation, time management, and the pros and cons of network participation.

Key takeaways include scheduling patient-focused time, minimizing administrative burdens, communicating wins with staff, starting small to offload one distraction, and writing an action plan of the things you love versus the tasks to remove. Expect practical tips to reduce burnout and rebuild joy in your practice.

In this episode of All Things Chiropractic, hosts Paul Andrews and Dr. Mark Davini welcome Dr. Peter Kevorkian, newly appointed president of Life Chiropractic College West. Dr. Kevorkian shares his 42-year journey from engineering student to chiropractic practitioner, educator, and leader, including founding the Massachusetts Alliance for Chiropractic Philosophy and transitioning into academic leadership.

The conversation covers core chiropractic philosophy, the importance of viewing the body as a self-healing miracle, and practical advice for clinicians on staying grounded in vitalism while navigating regulatory and reimbursement pressures. Dr. Kevorkian explains his curricular vision for Life Chiropractic College West: embedding a chiropractic lens across courses, teaching technique systems rather than homogenized packages, strengthening clinical readiness, and cultivating compassionate, patient-centered clinicians.

Listeners will hear practice-building tips for avoiding burnout, strategies for structuring care to serve families affordably, and guidance for prospective students on exploring the profession. The episode blends personal anecdotes, historical context, and clear takeaways for chiropractors, students, and anyone interested in the future of chiropractic education and practice.

Join hosts Paul Andrews and Dr. Mark Davini as they explore the question: What would life be like without chiropractic care? Dr. Davini shares his personal motorcycle-accident story and how chiropractic relieved chronic headaches, redirected his career, and shaped his purpose.
