   Beyond The Adjustment Ep. 020 | Dr. Cameron Allan – Chiropractic Roots, Clinical Confidence, and an Open Mind

   What happens when a lifelong connection to chiropractic meets a new country, a different professional landscape, and a growing commitment to advocacy? In Episode 20 of Beyond the Adjustment, Dr. Chad Mykietiuk welcomes Dr. Cameron Allan, a second-generation chiropractor, New Zealand College of Chiropractic graduate, and longtime CNAC board member practising in British Columbia. Growing up in Australia, Cameron saw chiropractic practice from the inside. His father’s office became an early classroom, where he learned about patient care, communication, and the everyday work of running a practice. After considering a career in music, he followed his interest in chiropractic to New Zealand, where his education brought together philosophy, adjusting skills, research, and access to influential mentors. Cameron shares his journey from practising alongside his father in Australia to owning a practice in New Zealand and eventually moving to Canada with his wife and young family. He reflects on how those experiences shaped his approach to care—and how mentorship in British Columbia deepened his engagement with the research literature. Chad and Cameron also explore differences in chiropractic education and practice across countries, the importance of recognizing our own biases, and why curiosity matters when learning from colleagues. Their conversation considers the gap between enthusiasm inside a busy chiropractic office and broader public utilization, including financial barriers, practice management, professional identity, and collaboration. At its heart, this episode is about maintaining a clear sense of purpose while staying willing to listen, learn, and serve people better. Guest Bio Dr. Cameron Allan is a second-generation chiropractor practising in British Columbia and a longtime board member of the Canadian National Alliance for Chiropractic. Raised in Australia, Cameron developed an early interest in chiropractic through his father, a 1980 Palmer College graduate. Growing up around the family practice gave him firsthand experience with patient care, communication, and practice operations. Cameron completed his prerequisite studies at Auckland University of Technology before attending the New Zealand College of Chiropractic. During his studies, he became involved with the World Congress of Chiropractic Students, serving as his chapter’s head of research and participating in an international conference as a delegate. After graduation, he returned to Australia to practise alongside his father. He later moved back to New Zealand, where he and his wife—also a chiropractor—purchased a practice and started their family. They relocated to Canada in 2018 to be closer to her family. His experiences across Australia, New Zealand, and Canada have shaped his interest in chiropractic education, clinical excellence, research, and professional advocacy. Through practice, mentorship, and his work with CNAC, Cameron encourages chiropractors to remain curious, examine their assumptions, and keep service to patients at the centre of their work. https://www.pocochiropractic.com/ (https://www.pocochiropractic.com/) Join the CNAC The Canadian National Alliance for Chiropractic (CNAC) exists to support chiropractors who want to grow strong, successful practices while protecting the unique identity of chiropractic in Canada.

   Beyond The Adjustment Ep. 019 | Dr. Liz Anderson-Peacock: Four Decades of Passion, Purpose and Resilience

   What keeps a chiropractor passionate after 40 years in practice? For Dr. Liz Anderson-Peacock, it comes back to the people she serves, the opportunity to keep learning, and a lifelong commitment to helping others transform. In Episode 19 of Beyond the Adjustment, Dr. Chad Mykietiuk welcomes chiropractor, author, speaker, and mentor Dr. Liz Anderson-Peacock for a conversation about family practice, personal growth, and finding greater ease in both practice and life. Liz shares how her approach to patient education has evolved—from group workshops in a busy practice to a more focused emphasis on stress regulation and family engagement. She discusses how she incorporates HeartMath practices into her work and why she prioritizes helping parents and children feel settled before introducing more information. For chiropractors interested in building a family or pediatric practice, Liz emphasizes starting with clear values and intentions, developing appropriate clinical skills, and understanding when collaboration or referral is needed. Drawing on her experience teaching ICPA modules since 1998, she highlights the value of practical training, thoughtful communication, and confidence grounded in competence. The conversation also explores the challenges of perfectionism. Liz offers a different approach: pursue mastery and excellence, remain open to feedback, and use reflection to support growth. She shares questions practitioners can ask themselves when a patient’s progress or their own goals do not unfold as expected. Finally, Liz reflects on how her amputation changed her outlook. Through a memorable story about rappelling down the outside of a Toronto hotel, she describes recognizing her instinct to push harder—and discovering how pausing, listening, and asking a better question opened a path forward. Guest Bio: Dr. Liz Anderson-Peacock is a chiropractor, author, speaker, and mentor with 40 years of experience in practice. Her work has focused extensively on children and families, alongside a commitment to continuing education, practitioner development, and helping people create meaningful change. Liz has taught four different modules for the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) since 1998 and has completed diplomate training through the International Chiropractors Association (ICA) pediatric program. She speaks internationally and brings decades of clinical experience to her teaching, emphasizing practical skills, communication, professional scope, and appropriate collaboration and referral. Now practicing part time with a primary focus on children, Liz incorporates HeartMath practices into her approach to working with families. Her mentoring encourages chiropractors to understand their own values, develop an authentic approach to practice, and pursue mastery and excellence while remaining open to learning. Her personal experience with amputation has also shaped her perspective on resilience, identity, and possibility. Through her teaching and conversations, she shares lessons about meeting challenges with curiosity, finding joy, and creating space for a different way forward. https://www.drliz.ca/ (https://www.drliz.ca/) https://drlizspeaker.com/about/ (https://drlizspeaker.com/about/) Join the CNAC The Canadian National Alliance for Chiropractic (CNAC) exists to support chiropractors who want to grow strong, successful practices while protecting the unique identity of chiropractic in Canada.

   Beyond The Adjustment Ep. 018 | Returning to the Roots of Chiropractic with Dr. Max Saint-Denis

   In Episode 18 of Beyond the Adjustment, host Dr. Chad Mykietiuk sits down with longtime friend, colleague, and CNAC Quebec representative Dr. Max Saint-Denis for a wide-ranging conversation about chiropractic philosophy, practice, patient communication, research, and the future of the profession. A second-generation chiropractor, Max grew up immersed in chiropractic. His father was a chiropractor, family vacations often revolved around chiropractic seminars, and many of the people around him growing up were chiropractors. By his early teens, Max already knew that chiropractic would become his profession. He attended Life University beginning in 1999 and graduated in 2003. From the beginning of the conversation, Max makes his position clear: chiropractic has become too focused on pain. He believes the profession risks losing the very thing that distinguishes chiropractic from other health professions — its philosophy and its focus on the nervous system. In This Episode Growing up as a second-generation chiropractor Max's journey to Life University and into practice Why chiropractic has become too focused on pain Chiropractic philosophy and professional identity The role of the nervous system in chiropractic Philosophy versus evidence — and why Max believes chiropractors need both Challenges with conventional chiropractic research models Building trust with new patients Why chiropractors should listen more and question less Handling objections without pressuring patients Understanding patients' individual priorities and values Introducing the bigger chiropractic picture from the first visit Why chiropractors may be playing too small Moving the profession from defense to offence Advocating confidently for chiropractic Why the profession needs to stop fighting so many internal battles Returning to chiropractic's roots and foundational principles Guest Bio: Dr. Max Saint-Denis is a second-generation chiropractor who has been immersed in chiropractic for virtually his entire life. Growing up as the son of a chiropractor, Max was surrounded by the profession from an early age. Chiropractic seminars were often part of family travel, and many of the chiropractors around his father became extended members of the family. Those early experiences gave Max a unique appreciation for chiropractic philosophy, community, and practice long before he entered the profession himself. By his early teenage years, he knew chiropractic would become his career. After completing his studies in Quebec, Max attended Life University in 1999, graduating as a chiropractor in 2003. Today, Max brings more than two decades of experience in practice along with a strong commitment to chiropractic philosophy, nervous-system-focused care, patient education, and advancing the profession. He also serves as Quebec representative for the Canadian National Alliance for Chiropractic (CNAC), helping represent Quebec chiropractors and contributing to CNAC's national advocacy and professional initiatives. Throughout his career, Max has remained passionate about preserving the principles that make chiropractic distinct while encouraging the profession to communicate more confidently, advocate for itself, and help more people understand chiropractic beyond pain relief.
