Popping Pills For Years — Then ONE Session Fixed It 🤯💥

Loading player...
What does it take to go from "everything is clear, nothing is wrong" to finally being free of pain you've carried your whole life?

In this episode of Meet My Business, host Hendrik Baird talks with chiropractor Dominique Brussow about the reality of her profession — beyond the "crack and pop" people expect. Dominique explains what chiropractic actually treats, how it differs from physiotherapy, and why so much of her work is about movement patterns, prevention, and education rather than quick fixes.

She also shares her own unlikely journey into the field — an introvert who discovered chiropractic almost by chance on a trip to her mother's appointment, applied to university the day before applications closed, and had to learn how to work with people (and run a business) from scratch. Along the way she tackles the myths that give chiropractic a bad name, explains why pain is the last symptom to show up, and makes the case that any movement is good movement.
