Dr. William Braudt: Chiropractic Care From People to Animals

Dr. William Braudt of 806 Chiropractic joins Amanda Jones for a deep dive into what chiropractic care actually is — and what most people misunderstand about it. The conversation explores the history and evolution of chiropractic medicine, how chiropractors are trained in the United States and abroad, and why the profession often sits at the intersection of conventional medicine, movement, mobility, and nervous system regulation. Dr. Braudt explains how chiropractic care may support people across the lifespan, including newborns, pregnant women, athletes, working adults, and older adults looking to maintain mobility and quality of life. Amanda and Dr. B also discuss the mind-body connection, stress patterns stored physically in the body, posture, nervous system function, and how modern lifestyles may contribute to chronic tension and pain. The episode also takes a fascinating turn into animal chiropractic, where Dr. Braudt shares how he expanded from human care into treating animals, the specialized training required, and the dramatic ways horses, dogs, and other animals can respond to treatment.
