003: Podcasting for Your Practice with Ed Osburn

After being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease 2009, Dr. Ed Osburn gained a unique understanding of chronic pain and loss of function first hand. Until that time, he had never really understood nor appreciated the difficulties and challenges presented to someone who suffered every day. His purpose was within his practice serving the families in his community. However, he could not physically maintain the rigours of a busy family Chiropractic practice—it was a deterrent to his healing. In the end, the disease was a gift. He grew to accept the reality that he would no longer be able to serve in my practice at the capacity he had in the past. He realized that he could serve far greater numbers of people by supporting, inspiring, and elevating doctors—ensuring that they are massively successful in their own communities. As a Chiropractor who has experienced both massive failures and successes over the past 13 years, he realized first hand just how valuable motivation and direction can be, particularly to the struggling doctor. Which is why he is so passionate about “giving back”. His philosophy at The Chiropractic Philanthropist is: We are all more alike than we are different. Dr. Osburn wanted to share the life and practice experiences of other Chiropractors, feeling that it will surely inspire other Chiropractors.
