Reviving Chiropractic Legends: Planet Chiropractic Multimedia Updated for the Modern Era

By Michael Dorausch, D.C.

Back in the late 1990s (long before “podcast” was even a word) Planet Chiropractic was blazing trails by putting chiropractic audio and video content online. While most people were still connecting via dial-up modems with screeching connections and painfully slow speeds, I was traveling the country (and the planet) interviewing some of the most successful, philosophical, and motivational chiropractors in the world. Streaming and sharing these interviews online was a massive technical challenge with the tools available at the time, but we made it happen. It was truly historic. Early chiropractic multimedia helped spread the message far beyond seminar rooms and offices.

The content from those years remains incredibly powerful. These aren’t just old recordings; they’re timeless, motivational talks filled with chiropractic philosophy that can fire up practitioners and students even today.Recently, with the help of Grok, we’ve modernized the entire archive. All the outdated ASF and ASX files have been converted to MP3 format, making them accessible on any device—smartphones, tablets, laptops, or anywhere you listen. We’ve also added embedded players directly on the pages, so you can play the audio right there while reading, without needing extra software or downloads.

Visit the updated Multimedia Pages at Planet Chiropractic to explore a collection of classic audio archives:

Two personal favorites that still inspire me every time I listen:

• Dr. Ian Grassam (1997 Talk) – An over-50-minute motivational masterpiece recorded at Cleveland Chiropractic College. Dr. Grassam speaks on getting on purpose, chiropractic philosophy, and why we do what we do. Now with a full embedded player and MP3 download.
  
• Dr. James Sigafoose – A classic 31-minute talk recorded in York, Pennsylvania, packed with straight-talk chiropractic fire on health, attitude, and the big idea. Available in updated MP3 format on the multimedia page (scroll to the James Sigafoose section).

These voices helped shape generations of chiropractors, and now they’re easier than ever to access. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner needing a philosophy boost or a student discovering the roots of our profession, dive in and let the messages move you.
