In this exclusive episode of TAC Tic Talk, hosts Dr. Joe Busch and Jaclyn Touzard sit down with the leadership teams from Life University and Disc Centers of America (DCOA) to unveil a powerful new collaboration that’s reshaping chiropractic education.
Hear from Co-CEOs Dr. Eric Kaplan and Dr. Perry Bard, Life University President Dr. Brian McAulay, Board Chairman Dr. Kevin Fogarty, International Affairs Director Dr. John Downes, and Clinic Director Dr. Tim Gross, as they discuss how DCOA’s proven nonsurgical decompression protocols are being integrated directly into the Life curriculum. This alignment supports Life’s mission of lasting purpose — to give, to do, to love, and to serve from abundance — while preparing future chiropractors to meet growing disc care demands with research-backed precision.
Recorded in anticipation of the February 2026 grand opening of the Life University Disc Centers of America clinic in Roswell, Georgia, this episode reveals a bold new chapter in chiropractic philosophy, technology, and professional development.
