Forward - The Podcast of the Forward Thinking Chiropractic Alliance: Recent Episodes
Bobby Maybee
Progressive chiropractic talk. Forward Thinking Chiropractic Podcast is the official podcast of the FTCA. On this show we interview the brightest minds of progressive chiropractic, as well as professionals from other professions. This podcast is for those who are interested in evidence based chiropractic, and my attempts to make discussing it entertaining.
After experiencing a head-on collision and enduring six months of physical therapy with limited results, a family friend referred him to his first chiropractor. Chiropractic care brought significant relief from his persistent neck and lower back pain and even led to unexpected improvements in his overall health. Inspired by these outcomes, he decided to pursue a career in chiropractic to help others experience similar benefits. During his studies, he met his future wife, who shared his passion for the profession, and they have since built a life and career together.
The couple practiced for 17 years in a multidisciplinary setting, focusing on providing high-quality care to their patients. Early in their career, they surpassed the $1 million mark in practice revenue and later exceeded $3.5 million annually during their final years of practice. They attributed much of their success to their focus on effective patient tracking, systems and automations, which allowed them to improve efficiency and outcomes. This realization inspired them to develop a patient tracking software that streamlined operations and enhanced the patient experience.
As their software business grew, it eventually became their primary focus, and they made the decision to sell their practice to dedicate themselves fully to TrackStat. Their mission is to help chiropractors implement efficient patient tracking processes using technology, enabling them to serve more patients, improve practice outcomes, and achieve greater success. By supporting the growth and efficiency of chiropractic practices, they also hope to contribute to the advancement of the profession and inspire more students to pursue chiropractic careers.

Justin Rabinowitz is a chiropractor, published author and entrepreneur.
He founded his first company in New Jersey, three years after graduating chiropractic school. Currently, he has founded and partnered in five companies in and around the healthcare industry which are now combined to be worth in the seven figures.
In 2015, after three years as an associate, Justin launched Strive2Move with the same vision he had as a 2nd Trimester at New York Chiropractic College student (Now Northeast College of Health Sciences): Open a practice that would be world class in clinical excellence AND business skills.
He started only with a portable table, no outside funding, and no office space. Within two years, the practice was fully functioning and ready to expand all while being 100% Out Of Network/Cash, focusing treatment rehab and movement, and beginning to develop what is now a World Class team.
While 2020 was a year of upheaval and re-set for many, 2020 was the biggest growth year Justin’s business entities ever experienced. Not only did Strive2Move grow 35% during 2020, Justin also partnered and invested in a new venture, Adjust Your Performance (AYP).
AYP runs 100% without Justin physically involved in treatment and has gone from zero to mid six figures in just 18 months.
In 2021, Justin purchased business real estate, acquired an existing chiropractic practice, launched a business coaching and digital marketing business, and partnered in opening a Functional Medicine practice (The FuncMed Lab).
Out of all the accomplishments, Justin is most proud of the team and culture his community of businesses have built. As of this writing, Justin has never lost an employee.
Justin’s only hope is his golf game improves like his businesses have.

Colin Carr is the Founder and CEO of CARR, and invests his time and expertise into the professional lives of his staff and agents, systems and processes, and ultimately the thousands of healthcare providers that CARR has the privilege to represent annually.
Colin has been involved in commercial real estate since 2000 and has personally completed over 1,000 transactions. Colin trains and advises thousands of healthcare professionals, administrators, investors and students throughout the country on an annual basis through national meetings, conventions, study clubs, associations, universities, webinars and more.
CARR’s mission is to help healthcare providers Maximize Your Profitability Through Real Estate®
Colin began his real estate career at the age of 19 by managing multi-family apartment complexes in the greater Lansing, Michigan area.
He moved to Denver, Colorado in his early twenties and continued in property management, where he managed several mid and high-rise apartment complexes near downtown Denver.
He received his broker’s license at 23 and began representing local, regional and national companies with their commercial real estate needs. Initially, Colin represented both landlords, sellers, tenants, buyers and investors across a broad spectrum of commercial real estate specialties, including: office, industrial, retail, land and investment real estate.
After almost a decade of commercial real estate experience that spanned numerous areas of exposure, and with several hundred completed real estate transactions on his resume, Colin was drawn to the Healthcare field and began focusing exclusively on healthcare related transactions. In a short period of time, Colin realized he was having more impact and influence representing healthcare providers while enjoying the results of Helping People Who Help People™ beyond any area of real estate he had ever been involved in.
Shortly after this realization, Colin founded CARR Healthcare Realty with the exclusive double niche of only representing healthcare tenants and buyers. CARR Healthcare Realty’s mission of: Only Healthcare. Only Tenants and Buyers.® alongside a no-conflicts of interest approach of not representing landlords and sellers was an idea that was met with open arms from hundreds of healthcare providers.
Within a short period of time, CARR Healthcare Realty was representing dentists, physicians, veterinarians, optometrists and other healthcare providers all throughout Colorado with their commercial real estate needs. After five years of operating exclusively in Colorado, and with requests coming in on a regular basis from healthcare providers to take CARR Healthcare Realty’s services into other states, a national expansion plan was launched, and the company began opening offices in states throughout the country.
Today, CARR’s team of expert Healthcare Real Estate Agents span coast-to-coast and CARR is the nation’s leading provider of commercial real estate services for Healthcare Professionals.

Dr. Bill Tortoriello graduated from National University of Health Sciences (NUHS) in 2006 as a Doctor of Chiropractic. Upon graduation, Dr. Bill opened his own private practice, Integrative Chiropractic, and at the suggestion of his friend and mentor, senior DNS instructor, Robert Lardner, attended his first DNS course in 2007. Ever since, Dr. Bill has taken all varieties of DNS education offered, including all clinical, pediatric, and exercise courses, as well as special skills courses ranging from neurology and manual therapy, to orthopedics, scoliosis, and golf. Consequently, in 2014 Dr. Bill was certified as a DNS Practitioner, as well as one of only a select few DNS Pediatric Practitioners. While immersing himself in the traditional DNS principles, Dr. Bill has attempted to combine the knowledge gained from the Prague School with the primary, integrative approaches gleaned from other experts in the field of musculoskeletal medicine such as Shacklock and McKenzie.
In 2021, after many years of collaboration with Robert Lardner, Dr. Bill was honored to assist in the production of the newest DNS course series, Integrative Assessment, which provides registrants with a neurocentric, principled approach to provocative, physical examination procedures, manual therapy practices, and rehabilitative exercise selection.

Justin Rabinowitz is a chiropractor, published author and entrepreneur. He founded his first company in New Jersey, three years after graduating chiropractic school. Currently, he has founded and partnered in five companies in and around the healthcare industry which are now combined to be worth in the seven figures.
In 2015, after three years as an associate, Justin launched Strive2Move with the same vision he had as a 2nd Trimester at New York Chiropractic College student (Now Northeast College of Health Sciences): Open a practice that would be world class in clinical excellence AND business skills. He started only with a portable table, no outside funding, and no office space. Within two years, the practice was fully functioning and ready to expand all while being 100% Out Of Network/Cash, focusing treatment rehab and movement, and beginning to develop what is now a World Class team.
While 2020 was a year of upheaval and re-set for many, 2020 was the biggest growth year Justin’s business entities ever experienced. Not only did Strive2Move grow 35% during 2020, Justin also partnered and invested in a new venture, Adjust Your Performance (AYP). AYP runs 100% without Justin physically involved in treatment and has gone from zero to mid six figures in just 18 months.
In 2021, Justin purchased business real estate, acquired an existing chiropractic practice, launched a business coaching and digital marketing business, and partnered in opening a Functional Medicine practice (The FuncMed Lab). Out of all the accomplishments, Justin is most proud of the team and culture his community of businesses have built. As of this writing, Justin has never lost an employee. Justin’s only hope is his golf game improves like his businesses have.

Dr. Antonio J. Webb is a fellowship trained Spine Surgeon and specializes in all medical conditions related to the spine including degenerative, deformity, trauma, cervical/lumbar arthroplasty, and minimally invasive spine surgery. Dr. Webb is a long term resident of San Antonio, Texas for the past 19 years and welcomes patients to the clinic who struggle with spine pain and who are looking for a solution.
Growing up in Shreveport, Louisiana, it wasn’t until he attended a Medical Careers Magnet Program in high school that he envisioned his life outside the streets of Louisiana as a doctor. To make this dream a reality, he joined the United States Air Force at age 17 and spent a total of 8 years as a medic and LVN in the military including a tour north of Baghdad, Iraq in 2005 to a forward operating base dubbed “Mortarville” for the frequency of mortar attacks it endured. His unit treated just over 800 patients while in country and survived over 100 enemy mortar attacks during their deployment, while also earning several medals of distinction in the process.
In addition to his surgical training at UT San Antonio, Dr Webb was fortunate to learn and spend time operating under the guidance of Dr. Kaye Wilkins in Port Au Prince, Haiti on two separate occasions and in 2018 he was awarded an AO trauma fellowship that allowed him to spend a month doing trauma and spine surgery in Bangkok, Thailand.
Dr. Webb continued his training to subspecialize in Spine Surgery with a combined Neurosurgery and Orthopedic Spine Surgery Fellowship at the prestigious Texas Back Institute in Plano, Texas. Texas Back Institute is a leader in artificial disc replacement and was the first practice in America to implant an artificial disc replacement. Dr. Webb co-authored articles on cervical and lumbar artificial disc replacement while refining his surgical skills over that year.
During his fellowship at Texas Back Institute, he learned how to utilize a multi-specialty approach to treating the spine. He worked closely with therapists, interventional pain specialists, 16 Orthopedic spine surgeons and 3 Neurosurgeons. He took the best practices from all his mentors, in each specialty, to formulate his own unique approach to spine care believing that conservative treatment is the ultimate goal, using surgery only as a final and last resort.

Too many chiropractors struggle to build and maintain a thriving practice that allows them the freedom in their professional and personal life to enjoy the fruits of their passion. Most chiropractors throw good money after bad with ineffective marketing. Or even worse, their practice has no marketing at all. Doing It Right: Modern Chiropractic Marketing will guide you with modern marketing concepts and strategies to elegantly grow your practice without resorting to unethical and distasteful marketing that has plagued many professions in the past. The Modern Chiropractic Marketing Roadmap will help you develop a clear message congruent with your clearly defined audience. It will show you how to leverage modern distribution channels that position you as the expert in your community. You will be able to implement and sustain this because you will have a strategic plan, and you will automate, delegate, and optimize all aspects of your practice’s marketing.

He has a wife who everybody is trying to figure out why she married him and they have four kids ages 10-16 who are going to change the world.
“Chiropractors are in the people business. Our profession is incredibly relational by nature. We help people by putting our hands on them. We see our people repetitively, often over the course of years. That’s a high-touch business by anyone’s definition.
Chiropractors should be known for their ethical marketing and people-centric business practices. The chiropractic profession should be mentioned amongst the most trusted professionals, not the least.
Thankfully, there is a growing number of chiropractors who are committed to being ethical, people-centered chiropractors. We are the chiropractors who care because it's right to care. We are intentional about building strong relationships within our communities, and we refuse to compromise the wellbeing of our people.
We are chiropractors who are committed to creating a new legacy of chiropractic excellence and trustworthiness.” - Jerry Kennedy and Rocket Chiro

Thank you for listening and stay tuned for Season 2! I hope you enjoyed our first foray into the chiropractic podcasting realm.

In this episode I join three of the speakers at Forward KC as they summarize their impressions of the event. The event that caused a ripple in the chiropractic space time continuum for one weekend.
Too many business leaders are missing opportunities because they struggle to talk about what they do in a way that connects with potential clients. Whether it is In person, online, or in a presentation - they want to make dynamic connections with people to gain more leads and grow their business but feel they are missing out on what could be done.
Jon started a company to business leaders talk about what they do. Using the power of story, Jon has a proven framework that captures attention and generates business.
Jon is the Founder and CEO of Get Clear Consulting, a Vancouver-based marketing company, specializing in leveraging the power of story.
In this episode we have a great conversation with Brandon Steele DC who innovated a great product called Chiroup. If you haven't heard of it you need to check it out. And after you check it out, use it! It should be used profession wide, and it is well upon its way!
The Marc Bronson podcast episode has been removed. I would refer you to the iCARE Podcast episode with myself and Marc, which covers similar topics and is very well done.
In this episode I chat with Marc Bronson DC, who created the facebook group Evidence Based Chiropractors. Marc was also a co-guest with me in a two part iCARE Podcast that you should also listen to. Marc's specialty is evidence, research, and bringing rational thought to the chiropractic profession.
Bobby Maybee interviews Bobby Maybee about the FTCA. Dr Bob Takes questions from the FTCA members about the future of the FTCA.
In my interview notes this podcast is titled "Hulmecast", because he absolutely owns it! Dr. Hulme is winning in the world of rehab systems, and systems help a DC scale their practice to to levels of success that few accomplish. Join me as we get into the brain of Dr. Hulme, just for a few minutes, and find out how he ticks.
Dr. Brett Winchester lectures throughout the world, teaching his functional approach to patient care. Combining manual therapy, including joint manipulation and neuromuscular stabilization, with therapeutic exercise, Dr. Winchester effectively treats functional pathologies and acts as a catalyst for patients working to enhance their performance.
Dr. Winchester is the founder of Winchester Spine & Sport located outside
St. Louis, Missouri. His current appointments include:
•St. Louis Cardinals Team Chiropractor
•Advanced biomechanics course instructor at Logan College of Chiropractic
•Instructor and board member for the Motion Palpation Institute
•Chiropractic Rehabilitation Diplomate instructor

Dr. Winchester’s published research includes topics such as offering a multidisciplinary approach for treatment of the pregnant population and foot dysfunction. Various chiropractic journals have also featured Dr. Winchester for his patient-driven treatment model. He also has authored two chapters for textbooks.
Dr. Winchester enjoys treating professional and collegiate athletes and has gained a reputation for his sports medicine background. His expertise has placed him at the forefront of the ulnar collateral ligament rupture epidemic in professional baseball pitchers, providing insights into causation and effective treatment protocols. Still, his passion remains with diagnosing and treating the ailments of a diverse patient population with conservative-based protocols.
Stu McGill. Nothing else to say.
This interview was career fulfilling for me, as professor McGill has served as one of the fathers I never had.
As recommended in this interview, be sure you pick up copies of Professor McGill's book "Back Mechanic" by the case, and make them available to your patients. All of Professor McGill's books should be part of your library:
- Low Back Disorders (as I mis-named "low back pain" in the podcast)
- Ultimate Back Fitness and Performance
- Back Mechanic
- Gift of Injury: The Strength Athlete's Guide to Recovering From Back Injury and Winning Again
The books can be found at http://www.backfitpro.com/books/back-mechanic-the-mcgill-method-to-fix-back-pain/ and so much more.
Enjoy our conversation!
Brandie and I had a great time talking about nearly every aspect of chiropractic practice. We "went there" a few times, and there were no holds barred. Brandie is a great example of the fact that women can be a great force in the profession, and quite successful, without having to resort to the nonsense and "party line" that it is assumed women must fall into to succeed in our trade. She's tough, evidence informed, and passionate. Powerful stuff.
When I was told that Travis wanted to be on the podcast to talk about student loans, I didn't even think twice. "Yes!" Such a crucial topic for everyone involved in the profession. From the schools down to the students and their families and the public at large. It effects EVERYONE!
We all could use some better financial management and planning in our lives. We couldn't help but get off into a financial planning tangent. Managing your student loans is such a huge part of this. It doesn't seem like such a big deal until you blink, and 10 years of practice have passed you by (it goes by REAL fast) and you've been paying this whole time and your principle balance hasn't moved an inch. Ouch. Travis is here to help you plan ahead.
In addition, Travis is having a webinar in just a few days, so you will want to get registered for that. The link is https://www.studentloanplanner.com/chirowebinar/
Don't miss it!

Dr. Blake Kalkstein is a fire breathing dragon. He's intense, ready to go. I believe he is what straight chiro's call "on purpose". It takes us a while to get warmed up in this episode, but once we do... look out! Packed with valuable content and entertaining banter. Enjoy. And don't forget to check out chirospark and don't miss out on seeing Dr. Kalkstein present at Forward KC (www.forwardthinkingchiro.com)
I have had the pleasure of holding a couple of great conversations with Dr. Kennedy lately, including this one. Jerry understands relationship marketing like very few do in our business, which is ironically a business of relationships. His own podcast, (http://blacksheepdc.com/chiropractic-podcast) is revered by quite a few DCs. Enjoy our talk, I know I did!

Join us in our interview with Dr. Fidler. Howard has been an integral figure in the American Chiropractic Association, and is doing fantastic work in the arena of sports chiropractic and treatment of professional athletes.
Dr. Kevin, as I mention in the brief intro, is a man with many irons in the fire. First and foremost, he runs the Modern Chiropractic Marketing Facebook Group, which you should join. He is also the Corporate Chiropractor (thecorporatechiro.com), runs his own chiropractic practice in Boca Raton, Florida, and has two podcasts; The Modern Chiropractic Marketing Podcast (www.modernchiropracticmarketing.com), and the Modern Desk Jockey podcast. Phew
