You have found yourself smack dab in the middle of Episode #257 Now if you missed last week’s episode , we talked about Tensile Force On Vertebral Artery During Adjustments & Exercising For Pain. Make sure you don’t miss that info. Keep up with the class. On the personal end of things….. Just got through the Thanksgiving holidays and I learned something. For the first time in 24 years, I took off the day after Thanksgiving. What I learned is that I probably want to do that every year. Wow, it was nice to have those 4 days. Here’s the thing, most people don’t really expect you to be open on that Friday anyway so it’s pretty much OK to take it off. I loved being able to just hang out and enjoy myself and my family. Not only that but I caught up on some projects that ahve been sitting for a while. I also started some new projects as well. I am diving headfirst into Gray Cook’s FMS program and we’ll see what happens. I saw Gray talk at Forward ’19 right before COVID came along and ruined the world for a little while. He’s a great speaker and lots of evidence-based folks rave about FMS and SFMA so, I’m going a step beyond my Orthopedics fellowship and adding FMS to it to see where I wind up. It can’t do anything but fill some holes in my knowledge and skills. More tools for the toolbox. Always learning, always getting better. Moving forward or falling behind. We’ll get started soon but I need to tell you about tecnobody.com if it’s in Italian, just click on the English button. Look these products are above and beyond anything else you’ll find out there and will separate your clinic from all of the rest. I own the ISO Free so I’m not talking about something I don’t know anything about. I train balance and proprioception as well as concussion evaluation and even shoulder rehab. Once you check it out and you decide you can’t do without one, email me at [e-mail] and I’ll get you with the dude that can hook you up one on one. Tecnobody.com I’m done talking, I want to get to it with my buddy, Dr. Anthony Houssain. If you aren’t already familiar with Dr. Houssain, I want to tell you a bit about him first. Dr. Anthony Houssain is a lifetime learner. Which is probably why we get along so well. He got is DC degree from National University of Health Sciences, achieved Diplomate status from the American Academy of Pain Management, has done over 100 hours in Chiropractic Rehabilitation from Souther California University, and is trained in McKenzie as well. Dr. Houssain is also certified in post-surgical management of the cervical and lumbar spine, ART, FMS, SFMA, Racket Fit, and Dry Needling. He’s also a former President of the North Alabama Chiropractic Society and has been a guest lecturer at UAB School of Medicine and at the UAB College of Nursing. Now that you know why he’s here, let’s get to it with Dr. Anthony Houssain.

1. Tell me, Anthony, how’s Huntsville, Alabama today?
2. Since chiropractic isn’t the typical first answer when someone is deciding what they want to be when they grow up, tell us why you chose chiropractic as your profession.
3. Now, you’re not originally from Alabama. Now leaving out metrics and specifics (that’s next) give us all a brief history of where you went to school, where you started out, and how you migrated down South.
4. Now, for providers that may be a bit younger and might can use a little advice on where to set up shop, besides your in-laws being in Huntsville, can you share a little about why you and your wife knew Huntsville was going to work out?
5. Share with us a bit about what your practices look like? What all do you have your fingers in right now and how did you get there?
6. As you just mentioned, you have entered the clinic/gym hybrid model and now that’s up and running. Tell us what gave you the idea to make that transition, what the buildout process looked like, and how it’s going so far since it got up and running.
7. If you could go back and start the clinic/gym process over again from the start, what would tell yourself and what would you change about how you did things the first time?
8. Tell us how you lead someone from simple pain relief and then transition them into functional and interested in being a part of the gym and the strengthening process. Does that take a lot of sales? Or do you have specific tools that show the patient how it all fits together and why they can benefit.
9. We’re in Dr. Kevin Christie’s MCM Mastermind and we’ve gotten to know each other fairly well over the last year. Have you been part of a mastermind group before this one?
10. Other than the weekend we just spent in Key Largo, what value have you gotten out of our current mastermind?
11. All masterminds are different, of course, but, in general, what do you see as being the best arguments for finding and joining a mastermind or accountability group?
12. Next year, our mastermind is sold out and has no open spots available but we will be visiting Ft Lauderdale, Naples, Tampa, and maybe Orlando…..maybe back to the Keys. I figure there will be some smoked Negronis on our menu along the way but other than camaraderie, what are you hoping to get out of year 2?

Alright, that’s it. Keep on keepin’ on. Keep changing our profession from your corner of the world. The world needs evidence-based, patient-centered practitioners driving the bus. The profession needs us in the ACA and involved in leadership of state associations. So quit griping about the profession if you’re doing nothing to make it better. Get active, get involved, and make it happen. Let’s get to the message. Same as it is every week. Store Remember the evidence-informed brochures and posters at chiropracticforward.com.

The Message I want you to know with absolute certainty that when Chiropractic is at its best, you can’t beat the risk vs reward ratio because spinal pain is primarily a movement-related pain and typically responds better to movement-related treatment rather than chemical treatments like pills and shots. When compared to the traditional medical model, research and clinical experience show us patients can get good to excellent results for headaches, neck pain, back pain, and joint pain to name just a few. It’s safe and cost-effective can decrease surgeries & disability and we do it through conservative, non-surgical means with minimal hassle to the patient. And, if the patient treats preventatively after initial recovery, we can usually keep it that way while raising the overall level of health! Key Point: At the end of the day, patients should have the guarantee of having the best treatment that offers the least harm. When it comes to non-complicated musculoskeletal complaints…. That’s Chiropractic! Contact Send us an email at dr dot williams at chiropracticforward.com and let us know what you think of our show and tell us your suggestions for future episodes.
