Chiropractic is about connection. Your physiology and theirs, communicating. Feel everything release. Permission to be creative. Get the end result. It's about bringing feeling back to chiropractic. https://www.theinformedchiropractor.com

Ever wonder how long to hug someone? How much force to use in a handshake? It's about knowing the space of human connection. Chiropractic is more than mechanics; it's a magical relationship. https://www.theinformedchiropractor.com

Most chiropractors spend years chasing better force.

Very few spend enough time refining their analysis.

In this episode of The Informed Chiropractor Podcast, I sit down with Peter Kevorkian to talk about what actually creates mastery in adjusting.

We unpack how chiropractic technique evolves over time, why indicators matter more than opinions, and how timing can change outcomes more than strength ever will.

We also go into:
• When not to adjust
• Why great adjusting is often a best-guess, not a perfect answer
• How different techniques look at the same spine through different analytical windows
• Why the relationship between you and the practice member matters neurologically

This is not a beginner conversation.
It’s a deep conversation.

If you care about developing real skill, nervous system awareness, and longevity in practice, you’ll want to listen to this one.

Your practice is one big nervous system. How can you grow when you're burnt out? You have to consider your own nervous system first. Over-commitment AND under-commitment are the problem. What's your container? How consistent are you?

Chiropractic adjustments are paramount. But are you bookending them with cues of safety? Your state of mind matters. Cell membranes communicate danger. Is your presence helping or hindering healing? The adjustment is only part of the story.

Are you rowing against the current? Forcing it? Or are you a sailor? Finding the wind and letting it guide you? Conserve your energy. Understand the Polyvagal lens. Connect to the stream.

Most chiropractors focus on what they adjust.
We’re paying closer attention to the state of the nervous system when they hit the table.

In this clip, we break down spinal rhythms and regulation, and how using avatars helps you recognize protective states faster before you adjust. We covered this in Toronto last weekend.

When the entire team is prepared, from the front desk to the adjusting room, the environment becomes safer, more predictable, and your adjustments land deeper and hold longer.

This is where chiropractic starts to change.

✨ TIC Super Conference — Toronto ✨

We’re still buzzing from yesterday. The calibre of chiropractors in that room… unreal. Attentive, connected, present — all day long.

Huge gratitude to Dr. Peter Amlinger for expanding our vision with his deep chiropractic wisdom, and to the six powerhouse docs who shared from the heart.

Brandi lit up the room (as always), and I debuted our new nervous system avatars to help docs understand protective states in a whole new way.

But honestly — the best part was connecting with so many of you after.
This crew is something special.

Thank you for showing up and making it an incredible day.
We love this community.

🔥 Onward. Together. 🔥

Sympathetic dominance isn't the enemy. It's about regulation. Think live streaming, adjusting, flowing. Ventral vagus is online, too. Intimacy, relaxing, recovering: connected states. Stop labeling, start feeling. Regulation is key.

Notice the rhythms of the spine. What state is your patient in *before* you adjust? Is your office a safe, predictable space? Team up with your CAs to prep the environment. The more regulated they are, the better your adjustment will land. It's amazing stuff.
