Dr. Farabaugh lives by the principle “Evidence is our most powerful tool.” This philosophy echoes David Sackett, MD, the pioneer of evidence-based medicine, who advocated for a balanced approach to clinical practice. As Sackett noted, while blind devotion to research can paralyze clinical decision-making, failing to embrace current evidence risks obsolescence and compromises patient care. Through his clinical practice, lectures, malpractice work, and private consulting, Dr. Farabaugh emphasizes education—helping practitioners bridge the gap between evidence and effective chiropractic care.

With over 42 years as a Doctor of Chiropractic, Dr. Farabaugh brings exceptional expertise to the field. His distinguished career includes serving as a Medical Director, providing expert testimony in over 100 malpractice cases, and reviewing thousands of patient charts. His leadership extends to the Board of Advisors for the Official Disability Guidelines (ODG), the Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE), and the Ohio State Chiropractic Board.

As an author/ coauthor  of  over a dozer peer reviewed published papers on clinical practice guidelines, Dr. Farabaugh helps practitioners build thriving, evidence-based practices while advocating for patients who need medically necessary care. His pre-litigation case reviews have proved invaluable for both plaintiffs and defendants, often preventing costly legal proceedings.
