57 - Dr Chris Proulx & Jacob Currier: Shockwave & Class 4 Laser

In this episode of All Things Chiropractic, hosts Paul Andrews and Dr. Mark Davini welcome special guests Dr. Christopher Proulx and Jacob Currier (MedCor) to discuss advanced clinical tools and an upcoming hands‑on workshop. The conversation covers Dr. Proulx’s journey into chiropractic care and how modern modalities complement traditional adjustments. Dr. Proulx explains Shockwave therapy—how acoustic, high‑pressure sound waves stimulate healing, help resorb calcifications, support nerve and tissue regeneration, and aid chronic tendinopathies and other stubborn conditions. He also breaks down Class 4 (high‑power) laser therapy and photobiomodulation, describing how higher power and longer wavelengths enhance therapeutic effects. Jacob Currier outlines the business and implementation side: MedCor’s consultative approach, the importance of hands‑on training and standardized protocols, staff roles (including properly trained assistants), marketing, and how these services create new revenue streams and improve patient retention. They emphasize overcoming adoption barriers and ensuring clinicians believe in and properly integrate new technologies. Details: a full‑day workshop (6 CEUs) on March 13 at the Four Points Sheraton Norwood hosted by Tools of Practice with MedRay and MedCorp. The session focuses on practical, clinic‑ready instruction—live equipment use, protocol integration with adjustments, and guidance for staff and business implementation.
