Getting To The Root Cause | From Special Ops To Spine Whisperer

Dr. Derek Huddleston joins Dr. Hall to explore different approaches to chiropractic that focus on long-term functional outcomes rather than just temporary pain relief. They discuss how true healing comes from addressing root causes, teaching proper movement, and focusing on what matters most to patients.

• Pain relief shouldn't be the only metric for successful treatment
• Dr. Derek's journey from military service to chiropractic after multiple injuries
• Why having a clear beginning and end to treatment plans respects patient autonomy
• The "Root to Resilience Method" builds from pain relief to functional improvement
• Most patients with pain also have underlying movement pattern issues
• Teaching patients proper movement mechanics prevents recurrence
• Higher quality care may cost more but delivers true value through complete healing
• The nervous system connects to muscles which connect to movement
• Quality chiropractic care differs from physical therapy through philosophy and time spent
• Many patients don't complete their treatment plan after pain resolves but before functional restoration
