ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
What happens when the chiropractic philosophy that inspired you to enter the profession is almost nowhere to be found in your chiropractic education?
For Dr Laura Priestley DC, everything changed at Cal Jam 2017.
Laura grew up in Australia receiving chiropractic care from age ten after her mother—a nurse who had become dissatisfied with what she was witnessing in conventional health care—was introduced to chiropractic and the principle of Above Down, Inside Out.
Years later, Laura entered chiropractic school already believing that chiropractic was about far more than back and neck pain. But immersed in a heavily mechanistic education, her vision began to change.
Then she went to Cal Jam.
Laura describes the experience as though someone grabbed her by the shoulders and shook the mechanistic thinking out of her. It became her “sliding doors” moment—the weekend she believes changed the chiropractor she would become.
In this episode of Chiro Hustle, Laura and James Chester explore ADIO, Innate Intelligence, subluxation-centered chiropractic, patient education, chiropractic mentorship, social media, student development, practitioner self-care, and the importance of chiropractors living congruently with the message they teach.
Laura challenges students to seek out mentors, seminars, stories, and philosophy beyond the classroom—and challenges practicing chiropractors to ask themselves whether they truly “walk the walk.”
Sometimes an entire career changes because you were willing to show up.
You are just one story away.
Keep hustling.
