The Family Practice Podcast

Dr. Tony Ebel introduces the Family Practice Podcast and answers a chiropractic student’s question about whether a pediatric and family, subluxation-based cash practice needs to add decompression and shockwave to be financially viable. He explains why many practices add these services. He argues a true family practice doesn’t need them because it benefits from low-cost referrals, lower lead acquisition costs, high retention, and monthly recurring revenue from long-term family wellness plans. He invites listeners interested in converting models to his Pain to Peds program and a free webinar.

Dr. Tony Ebel delivers a MAHA update from inside the Chiropractic MAHA Hub, the historic alignment between the ICA, the ACA, and MAHA leadership turning decades of division into real, funded momentum. He breaks down the early wins already in motion, the Medicare Modernization Bill, VA access for veterans, research funding, reimbursement, and equity, and the message he delivered himself in DC: nervous system first, subluxation-based care first, pediatric and family chiropractic first. The reception from policymakers was strong, including interest in funding research. Tony calls on the profession to stop sitting on the sidelines, donate, contact legislators, and help make chiropractic the first call for families, not the last.

Maybe you're not stuck because you need another marketing funnel. You're stuck because you're still doing the CA's job. Dr. Matt Hill sits down with Sadie Smith — office manager at Living Water Chiropractic and PX team member — for the conversation every maxed-out doc needs. Sadie went from part-time CA to running the entire operations side of a practice that scaled past 1,000 visits a week. In this episode, she breaks down the systems Living Water handed off first (hint: it's not what you think), the culture shift that made delegation stick, and why "Don't Bother the Bersanis" became the phrase that changed everything

Dr. Tony Ebel introduces the Family Practice Podcast and teaches a four-part framework to evaluate a chiropractic family practice in a specific order: (1) clinical results (“miracle metrics”) as the foundation, emphasizing measurable transformations, strong outcomes for babies and complex cases, and how results drive referrals, retention, compliance, and pricing; (2) patient experience/NPS tracked via “page two” progress questionnaires, with sample survey questions and reported high ratings, plus the role of team, technology, and automation in convenience and education; (3) business scoreboards and financial KPIs, highlighting care plan compliance as a key overlooked metric tied to outcomes and profitability; and (4) longevity, scalability, and sellability, including monthly recurring revenue, reducing key-person dependency, and building systems so the practice can run without the owner while preserving purpose.

Dr. Allie Wright explains why the second trimester matters clinically and in communication. She reviews how nutrition to the baby shifts and how stress hormones and emotions can play a huge part in the future health of the child. She connects maternal stress to fetal nervous system development, temperament, immune/allergy risk, and gut microbiome transmission, arguing chiropractors should focus on nervous system regulation and appropriate care plans rather than only pain relief or supplements. Look to The Perinatal Experience for more information.
