Ep 123: From Managing Symptoms to Creating Solutions: Treatment Plans That Create Real Outcomes
The NeuFit Undercurrent Podcast
Most healthcare is built around managing symptoms. A little treatment here. A quick intervention there. “Let’s try this and see how you respond.” But what if the real problem isn’t the pain – it’s the system treating pain? In this episode, Dr. Mike Carberry and Colleen Carberry, PT, the founders of Advanced Medical Integration break down: Why symptom-based care keeps patients on the “train to drugs and surgery” How integrating physician care, chiropractic, and PT, compresses recovery time Why frequency and coordinated team care matter more than isolated visits How structured...

Ep 121: Beyond Tissues: A Whole-System Approach to Healing
The NeuFit Undercurrent Podcast
Healing is rarely about fixing a single tissue or structure. In this episode, Lisa Chase, PT, shares the frameworks from her new book, Be Responsible, Because the System Isn’t, and describes why true recovery depends on the health of the entire system – from the nervous system and sleep to lifestyle, resilience, and capacity. When the whole system is robust, healing becomes possible. When it’s not, symptoms simply move around. In this conversation, we discuss: Why pain and injury are often downstream expressions of system overload How nervous system regulation shapes recovery,...

Ep 119: From Clinician to Practice Owner: Shifting Your Identity to Build a “Sale-Ready” Practice
The NeuFit Undercurrent Podcast
Most practice owners don’t get stuck because they lack tactics – they get stuck because they’re still operating with a clinician’s identity.

In this conversation, we cover: Why clinical excellence alone doesn’t build a valuable business The identity shift from clinician to true practice owner Common traps that keep owners stuck in the day-to-day What actually makes a practice “sale-ready” How...

Modern pain care often focuses on fixing structures, but what if the real key is changing the signal? In this episode, Garrett and Dan Neff, DPT, dive into the idea of therapeutic input and how precise neurological stimulation can reduce pain, restore function, and build trust with patients – even the ones who’ve already tried everything else. You’ll learn about: Neurological versus mechanical models of pain Why less force can sometimes produce better results How spinal input influences pain perception The nuanced differences between manipulation, adjustment, and neuromodulation...
