WHY TAKE THE CHALLENGE?

You chose chiropractic. Now challenge yourself to understand it.

Chiropractic school introduces you to anatomy, physiology, technique, clinical practice, and the ideas that have shaped the profession. But when do you get the chance to examine its foundational questions in depth? What makes chiropractic distinct? What assumptions does its philosophy depend on? How do its concepts relate to contemporary science? You don’t have to think like us. We want to challenge you to think more deeply about chiropractic.

THE CURRICULUM

Explore the ideas behind chiropractic.

Study the 33 Principles, vertebral subluxation, Innate Law, the innate impulse, cycles, coordination, the signs of life, feedback, interpretation, adaptability, and adaptation. Throughout the program, distinguish what the textbook proposes, how ChiroWay interprets the material, what scientific evidence establishes, and which questions remain open. This is more than memorization. Understand the concepts, examine how they relate, and explain your reasoning.

MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Learn alongside Dr. Trent Scheidecker

Trent Scheidecker, DC, DACP, AMPT Trent will guide the cohort through short weekly introductions, questions, and mentorship responses. He won’t lecture through every article or provide predetermined answers. He’ll help participants define terms, examine assumptions, and connect ideas with their studies. Every week offers an opportunity to submit a question for the mentorship conversation.

YOUR FINAL CHALLENGE

The same question.

Twelve weeks apart.

Begin by answering: What is chiropractic? After studying all 102 articles and the 33 Principles, answer it again. Compare your thinking and explain what you now understand more clearly.

The goal isn’t simply to have a different answer. It’s to know why you believe it.
