Knee Chest Specific Chiropractic and Chiro Hustle Join Movement for Freedom in Chiropractic

Originally published: 2025-04-02

The movement to restore freedom, integrity, and competition within chiropractic education, licensing, regulation, and practice continues to gain momentum. Knee Chest Specific Chiropractic (KCSC) and Chiro Hustle are the latest organizations to sign on to the Resolutions calling for an end to the monopolistic control of the Chiropractic Cartel.

With these additions, the growing coalition now includes 54 principled chiropractic organizations, foundations, schools, and businesses united in the mission to ensure chiropractors are free to educate, license, and practice in alignment with their values and without suppression.

Knee Chest Specific Chiropractic (KCSC): Leading the Way in Upper Cervical Specific Care

Founded by Drs. Arthur Plesa, Matthew Wolfertz, David Shores, and Scott Jackson, Knee Chest Specific Chiropractic is a team of dedicated chiropractors who specialize in the Upper Cervical Knee Chest technique—a powerful, specific, and reproducible method for detecting and correcting craniocervical subluxation.

“We are dedicated to cultivating the world's foremost knee chest upper cervical chiropractors. Our team is unwavering in its commitment to advancing this specialized technique and training chiropractors to excel as doctors who restore health even in the most challenging cases”

With a focus on restoring brainstem function and whole-body health, KCSC is passionate about precision, education, and clinical excellence. Their mission is to teach chiropractors how to deliver life-changing care through objective analysis and neurologically focused adjustments. Their involvement in this movement highlights their commitment not only to technique mastery but also to protecting the right to teach and practice specific, principled chiropractic.

Chiro Hustle: The Voice of Chiropractic Freedom

Led by James Chester, Chiro Hustle is the leading podcast and media platform dedicated to preserving free speech in chiropractic. With hundreds of interviews and global reach, Chiro Hustle amplifies the voices of chiropractors, educators, students, and advocates who are shaping the future of the profession.

“James Chester’s ambition became to keep free speech secure for chiropractors. His initiative is to educate and to help people understand the truth of subluxation based chiropractic”

By promoting philosophy, art, and science, Chiro Hustle is on a mission to protect subluxation-based chiropractic and challenge censorship, corruption, and misinformation within the profession. Their support of the Resolutions reflects their unwavering dedication to truth-telling, transparency, and the preservation of chiropractic values.

A Growing Movement for Change

These Resolutions, originally signed by a broad coalition of chiropractic leaders, call for the removal of language and systems that have created a de facto monopoly over chiropractic education, licensing, testing and regulation—what former U.S. Department of Education advisor Dr. Lawrence J. DeNardis described as a “virtual cartel.”

The Resolutions challenge the misuse of federal student loan money and state resources to support institutions and policies that suppress certain chiropractic models—particularly conservative, subluxation-based approaches. They also expose how students are burdened with debt while being funneled into a one-size-fits-all model of chiropractic.

As Christopher Kent, DC, JD, and Matthew McCoy, DC, MPH, have noted, this movement is not about tearing down organizations—it’s about removing monopolistic barriers so that diverse, principled models of chiropractic can thrive.
