Listen in as Dr. Stephen Franson interviews Bharon Hoag – Director of the new Chiropractic Defense Council. Chiropractic has always been an easy target. Since our inception, adversaries have sought to undermine our validity as a profession and thwart the growth and proliferation of the profession. We have met resistance from the medical profession and insurance industry, as well as by state and national health boards; and sometimes, the adversity comes from within the profession itself. Attacks come at all levels – high courts, national organizations, state associations and boards – but nearly all are directed at the practicing chiropractor.
There are clear and present dangers on the immediate horizon that could fundamentally alter our ability to practice as chiropractors in a post-COVID World.
Recent examples of these attacks against the rights of chiropractors to practice within the scope of their license include: the right to adjust children in Australia or the right to use X-ray in Ireland and Canada.
There has never been a dedicated organization whose singular focus is to defend the rights of chiropractors to practice within the scope of their license – until now.
The Chiropractic Defense Council exists with the singular purpose of defending the rights of practicing chiropractors around the world. The CDC will function as a 501(c6)/501(c3) non-profit that consists of a specialized, paid team of legal experts and attorneys, supported by a team of industry experts in chiropractic research/literature, regulatory and scope, as well as representative spokespeople and a contracted PR firm.
The Chiropractic Defense Council will have a singular focus:

EPISODE QUOTES
“One of our favorite quotes that drove a lot of what we did back in 2016 was from Buckminster Fuller. And it says, ‘To cause true change, you cannot fight the existing reality. You need to create a new reality that makes the old reality obsolete.’” (06:32) (Bharon)
“The intention [of the Chiropractic Defense Council] would be if somebody were to trespass on the rights of a practicing chiropractor anywhere in the world that we would have this team that was teched up and ready to be deployed to snuff out that situation, hit em hard, hit em loud, get some wins and make people think twice about picking on chiropractors.” (10:42) (Dr. Stephen)
“Our profession has literally the best product on the planet, in my opinion, and yet we fumble the football just about every time we get in the game.” (12:47) (Bharon)
“So we have our advisory board and those people are very respected throughout the industry and they bring something to the table that’s very different. Of all the organizations I’ve ever been on, I’ve never been a part of a group of people that are so focused, so talented, but they also have such a clear vision themselves.” (19:27) (Bharon)
“The pandemic created unbelievable opportunities for chiropractic. I know it was devastating in a lot of areas of our world. But for chiropractic as a profession, it was a pretty good thing for us because it changed the conversation of healthcare. It’s no longer sickness and not sick. It’s being healthy prepares you for sickness.” (24:10) (Bharon)
“We’re gonna keep working to make chiropractic the number one healthcare choice in the world.” (35:25) (Bharon)
