DIVING INTO…

Staying True to Chiropractic Principles

Otto doesn’t mince words—chiropractic is about life, not just pain. He stresses that without an optimized nervous system, even the best lifestyle practices fall short. Subluxation correction is not a secondary consideration in longevity—it’s the foundation.

The Nervous System as the Cornerstone

Using both personal conviction and published data, Dr. Janke makes the case that chiropractic must reclaim its role in the longevity conversation. Heart Rate Variability (HRV) becomes a quantifiable bridge between the adjustment and long-term vitality. If HRV improves with adjustments, and HRV is a marker of longevity, then chiropractic is essential to living a long, vibrant life.

Building More, Better Years

Dr. Janke challenges the profession to reframe health not as the absence of disease, but as the presence of vibrancy and years lived well. From sleep to motion to food and emotional health—these are all supercharged by a nervous system free of interference. His three guiding criteria? Reasonable. Effective. Cost-effective.

Leading the Future Through Communication

One of the most urgent challenges facing chiropractors today, Otto argues, is poor communication. Many don’t know how to tell the story—or even what the story is. He calls for schools to mandate communication training and urges every DC to hone their storytelling skills. Because when patients understand, they stay.

CLOSING THOUGHT

“More, better years” isn’t a slogan—it’s a strategy. One grounded in the nervous system, fueled by subluxation correction, and powered by a profession ready to step into its full role in humanity’s future.
