21 Apr 2026

Audio

Description

Dr. Matt Hill interviews Dr. Christie Hafer on The Family Practice Podcast about shifting from a traditional pain-based chiropractic model to neurologically focused pediatric and family care after her son Landon’s early childhood challenges, including meltdowns, speech and vision issues, poor sleep with night terrors, motor tics, and school concerns. After learning Dr. Tony Ebel’s “Perfect Storm” approach and implementing scans and care plans, she saw major improvements, including Landon succeeding in kindergarten and later thriving in high school athletics and academics. The episode covers her decision to become insurance-free by 2018, the difficult patient and team transitions, and how workshops, community relationships, and referrals from other providers helped grow the practice. They discuss increasingly complex cases, COVID-era developmental impacts, balancing family life with practice, and internship/associate opportunities at Purpose Driven Chiropractic in Eagle, Idaho.------ Links & Resources: FREE PX TrainingsThe Proven Path to a Thriving Family PracticeHow Data-Driven Chiros Are Dominating with Today's ParentsThe NeuroAGE of Perinatal Chiropractic is HerePain to Peds Playbook + CourseJoin 1,000+ Docs in the PX Membership Attend a Neuro-Tonal Certification & Adjusting Seminar (20 CEs!)------ Key Moments:01:34 Meet Dr Christie Hafer03:58 A Mom in Crisis05:31 Searching for Answers07:48 Discovering Perfect Storm10:59 First Care Plan Wins22:12 From Pain to Peds24:50 Hard Conversations and Rebuild26:11 Letting Go of Maintenance28:58 Harder Neuro Cases Today32:08 COVID + Perfect Storm Kids34:41 Joy and Hard Conversations37:31 Hope Dealing and Trust40:54 Workshops and Referrals44:06 Partnering With Therapists46:31 Balancing Family Practice51:55 Practice Info and Interns------ Want more of The Family Practice Podcast?
