Dr. Bill Davis: Mission-Driven Growth and Putting Care Back in Healthcare

Show Notes

In this powerful episode of The Care to Grow Show, Dr. Larry Arbeitman sits down with Dr. Bill Davis — upper cervical chiropractor, founder of UCM Practice Growth Systems, consultant, author, pastor, and spinal cord injury survivor — for a deeply meaningful conversation about purpose, resilience, and the true foundation of sustainable healthcare growth.

Dr. Davis shares his remarkable journey: from chiropractic student to thriving upper cervical practitioner… to a life-altering mountain biking accident that left him paralyzed… to building a national consulting and marketing organization serving upper cervical chiropractors across the country.

At the heart of this conversation is one central theme:

Care is not optional.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

Dr. Davis also gives a masterclass explanation of upper cervical chiropractic — breaking down how misalignment at the top of the spine can create a cascade of compensation throughout the body, and why correcting the root cause creates long-term healing.

This episode is packed with practical leadership tactics, culture-building strategies, and deeply personal reflections on faith, purpose, and impact.
