A Basketball Injury Led Dr. Jeff Block To Chiropractic Care
The Anthony Amen Show
A single bad fall can change everything, especially when the “standard” plan is pills and bed rest and you keep getting worse. That’s where Dr. Jeff Block’s story starts, and it quickly turns into a bigger conversation about what chiropractic care really looks like when it’s built around athletes, movement, and consistent problem solving for back pain and neck pain. We talk about the moment he realized he wanted a career where people get better and the clinician actually enjoys the work, not just survives it.
From there, we get honest about entrepreneurship and small business growth. Jeff walks us through opening a practice with barely any patients, then building momentum the old-school way: walking into local businesses, meeting gym owners, offering something useful first, and earning trust over time. We also hit the professional stigma chiropractic used to carry, how that reputation has shifted, and why personal trainers, physical therapists, and chiropractors do better when they stop competing and start understanding each role in the rehab and fitness pipeline.
The second half goes deep on mindset and decision-making. Jeff shares the “car theory” of focus, how written goals change what you notice, and a Rolex story that proves preparation can turn a random moment into a real win. We also dig into AI in healthcare, practice management, HIPAA constraints, and what leaders need to learn from younger clinicians and new technology. Finally, we talk patient compliance, behavior change, and the hardest lesson of all: you can’t care more about someone’s health than they do, but you can coach them toward ownership.
