What happens when a chiropractor decides to go beyond traditional chiropractic training and study neurology and functional medicine? In this episode of the Real Health Podcast, Dr. Amir Rashidian sits down with Dr. Sean Grady, the newest chiropractor to join the team, to talk about his 15 years of chiropractic experience, advanced training, concussions, neurology, functional medicine, sports, family, and what ultimately led him to chiropractic.
Dr. Sean Grady shares why he pursued advanced training in neurology and functional medicine, how his own experience with a concussion and seizure-like neurological symptoms influenced his interest in neurology, and why he believes additional education can help chiropractors recognize when a patient may need care beyond their scope.
The conversation also covers what chiropractic school is really like, gross anatomy and cadaver lab experiences, playing football, basketball and baseball, the risks of contact sports, and the differences Dr. Sean noticed between his experiences in medical and chiropractic education.
Toward the end, the conversation takes a more personal turn as Dr. Sean discusses his philosophy on finding fulfillment, taking chances, learning from failure, and defining success in life.
