Chiropractic Philosophy and Gonstead Technique - with Dr Dan Lyons DC - Chiro Hustle Podcast 728

INTRODUCING DR. DAN LYONS DC
In this episode of the Chiro Hustle Podcast, host James Chester reconnects with one of chiropractic’s true educators and storytellers: Dr. Dan Lyons DC. From his roots in the Troxell intern program to his leadership within the Gonstead Methodology Institute, Dr. Lyons brings nearly three decades of principled practice and international teaching to the mic. This conversation dives deep into why X-rays still matter, what makes a great mentor, and how chiropractors can protect their legacy in a shifting world.

HIGHLIGHTS
● Dr. Lyons shares his unusual origin story: a neck injury in a car crash, a dismissive surgeon, and a kind chiropractor who changed everything.
● The Gonstead system is more than a technique, it's a method rooted in precision, sequencing, and understanding spinal analysis.
● Why mentorship outside the academic setting is essential to real-world readiness.
● Dr. Lyons' "Immortal Chiro" learning library aims to preserve chiropractic knowledge beyond the seminar stage.
● He reminds us: "You can’t become great adjusting part-time. You need 20 visits a day, 100 a week, to really get good."
● Repetition, precision, and presence; the forgotten essentials in becoming a master adjuster.
● One patient with no complaints becomes a case study in unseen subluxations, reminding us why proper analysis always comes first.
