Dr. Daniel Murphy is one of the most knowledgeable and respected speakers and educators in the chiropractic profession. Dr. Murphy, a 1978 graduate of Western States Chiropractic College, began clinical practice in 1978 and, not long after, became a part-time faculty member at Life Chiropractic College West – a position that he still maintains to this day. Dr. Murphy’s post at Life has, perhaps, done more to shape his outstanding career than any other. “In reality, I do not know very much about anything, but I know a little about many different topics.” Dr. Murphy goes on to say, “Consequently, my value to our profession is that of an idea integrator, a dot connector. I want to improve my understanding of how chiropractic works and what we can do to make chiropractic more effective. I want to change the health attitude of the world. I will not retire.”

Dr. Weir graduated in 1981 from Palmer College of Chiropractic.  He spent the next 25 years practicing chiropractic, but ran out of steam.  He tried every chiropractic consultant, but still was ready to quit.  He took the same Activator seminar every year to get his license renewal.  Then in 2012, he decided that he loved PI patients, and focused on a PI practice.  So, he started on that journey.  He realized that it took more than a Palmer Diploma and 25 years of Activator seminars to do that…  This is where his education started.   The most important thing in the PI practice is having the right diagnosis, prognosis and treatment plan and the credentials to back it up.  Now, he has a 45 page C.V., which include mini-fellowships in MRI Interpretation-Spine, MRI Interpretation-extremity, Qualifications in Spinal Trauma.  He also is the first chiropractor in the nation to receive a Fellowship in Primary Spine Care through the SUNY Jacobs School of Medicine-Buffalo.

He is a full-time chiropractor, father, grandfather author and host of the award-winning national tv show “Loving Life with Dr Weir” seen by over 1,000,000 people last month.  You’ll find his passion for chiropractic and his love of life make him a favorite speaker.
