🧠 Background
In this powerful episode of the Chiro Hustle Podcast, host James Chester welcomes Dr Mark Sanna DC of Breakthrough Coaching for a conversation that reaches far beyond practice tips and marketing tactics. This episode lands on one of the biggest questions facing chiropractic today: what happens when the profession finally stops rowing in different directions and begins moving together with purpose?
Dr Sanna shares the story behind the Chiropractic Future Strategic Plan, a profession-wide effort built around research, government relations, reimbursement, and technology. But the emotional center of the episode comes when he reflects on his father’s generation of chiropractors — doctors who fought so hard for this profession that some of them were jailed for simply delivering chiropractic care.
That story gives this episode its force. Chiropractic has moved from the days of legal persecution and professional survival to a moment where national leaders are asking what the profession needs and how chiropractic can help make people healthier. For Dr Sanna, this is not just political opportunity. It is a sacred responsibility.
🔥 Highlights
Dr Mark Sanna DC opens with a clear love for chiropractic and a deep respect for Chiro Hustle’s role in protecting the chiropractic story.
He explains why chiropractic may not have always been popular, but it has always carried a fundamental truth: health comes from within, and interference in the body’s communication can rob people of function, quality of life, and expression.
Dr Sanna describes the Chiropractic Future Strategic Plan and how it grew from surveying nearly 5,000 chiropractors about what mattered most to them.
The episode explores the four major pillars of the strategic plan: research, government relations, reimbursement, and technology.
Dr Sanna explains why quality-of-life research matters so much for chiropractic, especially research focused on how adjustments affect brain function, movement, anxiety, sleep, and human autonomy.
He discusses how real-time chiropractic data, EHR information, AI, and reimbursement dashboards are being used to give the profession better evidence and faster responses to insurance challenges.
The conversation turns toward the MAHA movement and the unprecedented alignment between national health conversations and the chiropractic message.
Dr Sanna shares the moving image of thinking about his father and earlier chiropractors who were jailed for practicing, while today’s chiropractic leaders are being invited into policy conversations on Capitol Hill.
The episode also addresses Medicare modernization, fair reimbursement, artificial visit caps, veterans’ access to chiropractic care, and the need for grassroots action.

📖 Summary
This episode is a call for chiropractic to stand up, link arms, and recognize the moment in front of it.
Dr Mark Sanna DC joins James Chester to talk about the Chiropractic Future Strategic Plan and the work being done to help the profession move with one unified purpose. Instead of chiropractors feeling like lone rangers, Dr Sanna paints a picture of a profession that is beginning to row in the same direction through research, legislation, reimbursement reform, and technology.
The heart of the conversation is chiropractic’s long journey from persecution to recognition. Dr Sanna remembers his father’s generation and the chiropractors who endured legal attacks, professional opposition, and even jail for delivering chiropractic care. Against that backdrop, he describes the significance of today’s moment: chiropractic leaders are now being asked what they need, how government can help, and how chiropractic can contribute to a healthier America.
This is a principled, subluxation-centered episode about courage, unity, cultural authority, and the future of chiropractic. It reminds listeners that the chiropractic adjustment is not a commodity, a code, or a limited number of visits dictated by an insurance algorithm. It is a vital service rooted in the understanding that the body is self-healing, self-regulating, and designed to function better when interference is removed.
🔍 Diving In
This episode challenges chiropractors to stop thinking of themselves as isolated practitioners and start thinking like a profession with a shared mission.
Dr Sanna makes it clear that chiropractic’s future depends on more than passion. It requires data, organization, political strategy, fair reimbursement, technological infrastructure, and a unified voice. The Strategic Plan begins with research because research gives chiropractic a stronger foundation when speaking to legislators, insurers, policymakers, and the public.
But the episode never loses the philosophical center. Dr Sanna and James keep returning to the principle that chiropractic is different because it recognizes that health comes from within. The adjustment is not merely a treatment for pain. It is a way to remove interference so the body can better express life, function, and innate potential.
The most powerful story in the episode is the bridge between generations. Dr Sanna looks back at his father’s era, when chiropractors went to jail for practicing, and then looks forward to a moment where leaders on Capitol Hill are recognizing chiropractic’s concerns around reimbursement, access, research, veterans, and public health. That contrast gives the episode its weight. The profession did not arrive here by accident. It arrived here because chiropractors protected the sacred trust when it was costly.
The message is clear: this may be one of the most important windows of opportunity chiropractic has seen in decades. The profession must not shrink back now.
⚡ Action Steps
- Learn about the Chiropractic Future Strategic Plan and find a place to serve.
- Stop practicing like a lone ranger. Connect with state associations, national efforts, and principled chiropractic organizations.
- Support research that demonstrates chiropractic’s impact on quality of life, brain function, movement, sleep, anxiety, and human performance.
- Pay attention to reimbursement issues in your state and support efforts that challenge unfair fee schedules, artificial visit caps, and unequal access.
- Educate patients on the value of chiropractic beyond pain relief. Teach them about the spine, nervous system, subluxation, innate intelligence, and the body’s ability to heal from within.
- Be ready for grassroots action around Medicare modernization, veterans’ access, and fair chiropractic recognition.
- Tell the chiropractic story with courage. If chiropractors do not tell the story, someone else will define it for them.
