In this episode of Before the Scalpel, Dr. Jim Powell and Dr. Walter “Chip” Null dive into the powerful ripple effect that happens when patients experience life-changing relief—and then share that hope with others.

You’ll meet Steve, a patient who came to Powell Chiropractic hunched forward, unable to lift his head, and living with pain that affected every part of his day. After starting spinal decompression, Steve experienced remarkable relief and mobility changes that completely transformed his outlook.

Dr. Jim also breaks down the science behind spinal decompression—how targeted, controlled pressure changes can create the negative intradiscal pressure needed to draw nutrients back into the disc, calm inflammation, and help the body begin to heal naturally.

Whether you’re curious about the mechanics behind decompression or you just love a good comeback story, this episode will leave you inspired… and reminded of why patients continue to refer the people they care about most.

Getting to the root of spinal problems isn’t about assumptions—it’s about precision. In this episode, Dr. Jim Powell and Dr. Walter Null explain why their clinic’s approach begins with a thorough neurological and orthopedic evaluation, including specific nerve and muscle testing, digital X-rays, and more, to determine whether each patient is a good fit for the Disc-Recovery™ Program.

They emphasize that if chiropractic care isn’t the right path, they’ll refer patients out—because what matters most is the patient’s health. You’ll hear a powerful testimonial about Cliff, a patient whose case didn’t add up. When Dr. Null couldn’t pinpoint the issue, Dr. Powell Sr. suspected something deeper—a spinal tumor. Thanks to their careful testing and timely referral, Cliff got the critical diagnosis he needed before the tumor caused paralysis.

This episode highlights the clinical excellence, integrity, and patient-first mindset that guide every decision at Powell Chiropractic.

At Powell Chiropractic, no two patients are treated the same—and that’s exactly what sets their approach apart. In this episode, Dr. Jim Powell and Dr. Walter Null dive into how their team personalizes every program of care to match each patient’s unique needs, history, and health goals.

They’ll share how they go beyond a “one-size-fits-all” adjustment, taking the time to understand each person’s story and designing care plans that address the nervous system, spinal health, and overall function. Most importantly, they explain how your goals become their goals—whether that’s getting back to work pain-free, enjoying time with family, or simply living without limitations.
