Hosts Paul Andrews and Dr. Mark Davini close out a three-part series on chiropractic by focusing on philosophy — the "why" behind the profession. This episode explores the art, science, and vitalistic versus mechanistic approaches to care, debates the nature of subluxation, and examines how education, technique diversity, and insurance pressures shape practice.

Dr. Mark Davini joins Paul to share personal insights, historical quotes, and practical examples (including upper cervical vs full-spine approaches, supportive therapies, and analysis methods). They discuss the balance between letting the body heal itself and when to intervene, plus how schools and carriers influence philosophical direction.

Expect a lively, reflective conversation that clarifies key distinctions between symptom-based and philosophically based chiropractic, highlights takeaways for practitioners and patients, and encourages choosing and maintaining a guiding principle that balances philosophy, art, and science.
