    Seeing the abysmal lack of integrity-rich, clinically experienced, continually trained doctors in the chiropractic profession, I leveraged two decades of patient care skills—diagnosing and training over 4,800 patients—into a 4-part course curriculum. I co-founded TLC4Superteams, a coaching and educational organization, serving for 20 years over 1,500 doctors and support staff practicing in clinics throughout North America.

Dr. T also consults for Scoliosis, Hyperkyphosis, and spinal deformity cases worldwide. He is looking forward to advancing the science and research on Scoliosis and other spinal deformities with his colleagues in SOSORT and CBP.
