Ep 157: The REAL Education Behind Chiropractic (It’s Not Just About Pain)
Dr. Laura Hanson
Hey everyone! I’m Dr. Laura, and in this Truth Bombs episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what chiropractors ACTUALLY study. Did you know our education covers everything from anatomy and physiology (how your body is built and works) to nutrition, neuroanatomy (your nervous system), and even pharmatoxicology (how drugs and toxins affect your body)?
I’ve been noticing more healthcare providers talking about the body’s natural ability to heal itself lately – but chiropractors have been studying this concept since 1895! We call it “innate intelligence,” and it’s basically your body’s built-in wisdom to heal cuts, digest food, and keep you healthy. With 30 years in practice and seven credentials, I’ve seen firsthand how amazing this natural healing really is.
Unfortunately, many people only think of chiropractors for pain relief, but we’re trained SO much deeper than that. I want to change how you see our profession! Whether it’s through nutrition, lab testing, or collaborating with other providers, we’re here to help orchestrate your body’s natural healing.

Chiropractic Education Background 0:00
Hi everybody, I'm Dr. Laura. Welcome to Connecting the Dots, Truth Bonds. Okay, let me ask you something. What kind of background do you think this applies to? General anatomy, histiology, principles, palpation, human physiology, procedures, embryology, physical exam, clinical considerations, neuroanatomy and neurophysiology, radiography, nutrition, anatomy and biomechanics, pharmacology, pathology procedures, clinical orthopedics and neurology, public health, further information on nutrition. And you know what?
The list could go on and on.
Innate Intelligence and Whole-Body Care 0:52
That is the background to a chiropractic education. Lately, I've been really listening to a lot of podcasts, and I love podcasts. I have a podcast, Connect My Brain. But it's so interesting to me with all the things that have been going on really since about 2020, maybe a little bit earlier, but it has really come into the limelight that there are so many different medical providers now really tapping in to innate intelligence. Innate intelligence as defined is literally the body's ability to figure it out.
Just like every single time you get a cut on your finger, it seals, correct? Every time, you eat a meal, digest it, and eliminate it. These are the innate intelligence of our human body. Chiropractors have been looking at innate intelligence since 1895. We have a very extensive background in looking this. In fact, that is what drew me towards chiropractic, is that it looked at the entire body. It didn't just take out one part, it literally said, here's the orchestra and you're gonna spend years studying it.
Experience, Specialization, and Collaboration 2:06
And then people like me, we go even deeper. I've been in practice now for 30 years, I have seven credentials after my name, because I wanted to go deeper into the world of pediatrics and making babies. And what does it take to make a healthy baby? So I'm going to ask you, What kind of provider do you want to be with? Somebody that just started dipping their toe in maybe three, five, six years ago? Or somebody that's been doing it for a very long time? Now, not all chiropractors specialize. In fact, many chiropractors go into the direction of pain.
And I think that is very unfortunate because I do, I feel like it's given our profession a bad rap. But chiropractic is not just about pain. And I really want to encourage the community, let's start looking at chiropractic from a different set of lenses. Because if you understand the person that you are working with, they've got a very extensive background. and they have a passion. They have the passion to really work with the body. People do it through nutrition, they do through lab testing, and through collaboration with other health care providers.
