<p>What does modern chiropractic education look like when it’s grounded in philosophy, neurology, and real clinical reps from day one?</p><p>In this episode of <em>Under the Influence</em>, I’m joined by Alex Whittingham, a final-year chiropractic student at the Barcelona College of Chiropractic and a third-generation chiropractor.</p><p>We unpack what makes the Barcelona model different: three full years in clinic, early responsibility, and a curriculum that hasn’t drifted away from manual adjusting, innate intelligence, and the concept of subluxation.</p><p>Alex shares how being forced to communicate in Spanish stripped his explanations back to their essentials, and why that’s helped him avoid one of the biggest traps chiropractors fall into: over-explaining.</p><p>We explore a brain-based, afferent model of chiropractic care, the idea of the spine as the nervous system’s armour, and why movement matters more than alignment alone.</p><p>We also talk about the personal side: resisting the family profession, finding purpose on a mission trip in India, and choosing chiropractic not because it was inherited, but because it works.</p><p>This is a thoughtful conversation about clarity, confidence, and learning to influence one patient at a time.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Check out the Retention Recipe https://insideoutpractices.thinkific.com/courses/retention-recipe-2-0</strong></p><p>To learn more about Reactivate to Accelerate </p><p>https://insideoutpractices.thinkific.com/courses/reactivate</p><p>Learn more about Daily Visit Communication 2.0</p><p>https://insideoutpractices.thinkific.com/courses/daily-visit</p><p><strong>Email me - [email protected]</strong></p>
