SpinalColumnRadio - chiropractic interviews, philosophy, history, politics, comedy | Spinal Column Radio for the chiropracTOR
Summary: As he enthusiastically announces at the opening of each show with theme music blaring… “My name is Dr. Thomas Lamar, ChiropracTOR and Dad of Seven!” On January 1st, 2010, this chiropracTOR — along with his then 9 year-old audio engineer son, Logan — launched Spinal Column Radio, an Internet radio program about “all-things-chiropractic.” Modeled after his longstanding community newspaper column, Lamar’s target audience initially was the lay public. Eight months later though, through a string of amazing events, a “shift” happened and Spinal Column Radio found itself in its present format: serving the chiropracTIC profession by delivering content that motivates, supports, and encourages chiropractors world-wide (along with their assistants, students, advocates, and students-to-be), to uphold and revere the principles in which chiropractic has thrived since 1895. “Ironically, while my audience has seemingly shifted from the lay public, I’m finding that by delivering content that spurns the average chiropractor in the trenches to be the best chiropractor he or she can be, I have not left my post of educating the lay public about chiropractic… about, as I say, ‘to think about their health in a whole new way’ — instead,” Lamar shares, ”I have found a way to leverage my message through hundreds and hundreds of chiropractors all over the planet, which in turn influence their communities. In this sense, the message is being disseminated in a much grander way.” The show has literally taken the father-son team — with their studio in tow — coast to coast for on location interviews with some of the greatest names and minds in the profession at events such as New Beginnings Chiropractic Weekends, The California Jam, and ChiroFest. With nearly 300 interviews “in the can,” Lamar is quickly living up to the description someone once gave him as being “The Larry King of Chiropractic.” “Who knew…” - as he spouts off in his introduction - “…spinal education could be THIS much fun!”

BREAKING NEWS-- CCE Stakeholder’s Meeting #2 juxtaposed the Da Vinci Group Meeting in the sweltering heat of Scottsdale, Arizona (July 12, 2012).

Will this be the last chapter of our book, or the greatest one yet? YOU decide!
BREAKING NEWS-- AB2109, an alpha numerical confluence charged with controversy — a controversy that we have been following here on Spinal Column Radio. This is a bill that is traversing its way through the various hoops of the California Legislature — a bill that slaps the face of parents' right to make a medical decision on behalf of their child. If enacted into law, parents wishing to opt their children out of the state’s mandatory vaccination schedule for public and private school attendance — which current law allows them to do — will now have to have a conversation with a medical doctor about the pro’s and con’s of such a decision... and then must obtain that doctor’s cosignature should they still wish to decline the procedure. ChiropracTOR and Life College of Chiropractic West philosophy instructor Dr. Eric McKillican joins us on Spinal Column Radio to fill us in on the details that went on behind the doors of the June 27, 2012, California Senate Health Care Committee hearing on the bill. As one of two chiropractors in attendance, he tells us what happened and why actor-commedian, Rob Schneider, was there.
