Ep. 28: The changing of chiropractic care with Dr Erik Korzen

In this episode of the Surviving Healthcare podcast, you will hear a very active and wide-ranging discussion of chiropractic care, including its origins, its status when it comes to medical care and its future. Our guest for this episode is Dr. Erik Korzen, a chiropractic physician at Dynamic Physical Health.

 

Our conversation begins with the principles of chiropractic care and what that means, including the philosophy behind it, as well as its evolution. He explains the two schools of thought and why some chiropractors are considered "straights" and others are considered "mixers."  We also discuss the dynamic between science and philosophy with regard to chiropractic care and what chiropractic care entails.

 

You will hear Dr. Korzen straighten out some of the misconceptions people have about chiropractic care, why some of the worst misconceptions persist and how they can sometimes lead to patients not getting the care they actually need. That leads us into the science of chiropractic care and what that means to a practice like Dr. Korzen's, and how his "mixer" approach to chiropractic care is more effective than simple "spinal alignment."

You will hear about the main tension between traditional medicine and chiropractic care, which parallel those between science and philosophy. 

 

We end our discussion with some advice for people who might want to look into becoming a chiropractic physician.
