Every doc wants to make a bigger impact. Subluxation Squad is a straight-talking podcast for chiropractors who know this work is about human potential, not just pain. Hosted by Dr. Steve Tullius and brand strategist Pacha Hornaday, it blends real stories, honest “table talks,” and expert interviews to clear the subluxations in your message, mindset, and practice so what you believe, what you say, and what you build finally line up.
Dr. Ankur Tayal shares how chiropractic's history has shaped the challenges facing its fourth generation, from the early fight for professional recognition to today's struggles with identity, education, and internal division. Drawing from his experience in practice, chiropractic education, and professional leadership, he explains why greater public acceptance has not necessarily translated into professional maturity, and how accreditation requirements can limit the time schools devote to chiropractic philosophy, technique, and business preparation. The conversation examines freedom of thought, the responsibility to protect vertebral subluxation as chiropractic's distinct focus, and the need to replace emotionally driven conflict with reasoned dialogue and collaboration.
HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:
1. Chiropractic's fourth generation must build on the profession's history while developing greater maturity, clarity, and collaboration.
2. Educational freedom is essential to preparing chiropractors in philosophy, technique, business, and the principles that distinguish chiropractic.
3. Protecting chiropractic's identity requires conviction, reasoned dialogue, and a willingness to work together across professional differences.

From Spine to Spine: The Missing Link in Whole Body Wellness with Dr. Gary Glassman
Dr. Gary Glassman, an endodontist with over 40 years of experience, shares why oral health deserves a much larger role in conversations about whole-body wellness and what dentistry and chiropractic can learn from one another. He examines the connections between periodontal disease, chronic inflammation, and systemic conditions, while emphasizing the importance of distinguishing scientific associations from proven causation. The conversation also addresses the challenges both professions face in communicating preventive care, building public awareness, and moving beyond isolated approaches to health.
HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:
1. Oral health is an important part of whole-body wellness and should not be treated as separate from overall health.
2. Clear patient education helps people understand the value of preventive care and long-term health.
3. Greater collaboration between dentistry, chiropractic, and other healthcare disciplines can strengthen patient care.

Wearable Technology in Chiropractic with Dr. Vismai Schonfelder
Dr. Vismai Schonfelder shares how his experience as a chiropractor led him to develop ChiroRing, a wearable technology designed to help chiropractors and patients better understand changes in nervous system function through heart rate variability (HRV) and other wellness data. He discusses the challenge of communicating chiropractic’s value beyond symptoms, and how accessible, real-time information can open conversations about stress, adaptation, and the body's responses to care. The conversation also examines the potential of AI, wearable technology, and large-scale data collection to support chiropractic research, strengthen patient engagement, and make the profession more relevant to a technology-driven public.
HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:
1. Wearable technology can help chiropractors communicate nervous system function and adaptation beyond symptom-based conversations.
2. Long-term wellness data may create new opportunities for patient education, engagement, and chiropractic research.
3. Innovation should strengthen chiropractic’s foundational principles rather than replace its identity.
