Better clinicians build better practices.
Chase Hayden, DC, is a chiropractor who founded The Hayden Institute in Houston more than 17 years ago and, with his wife, the office team and fellow clinicians, built it into a clinic where chiropractic, functional medicine, clinical nutrition, Applied Kinesiology and Quantum Neurology work together under one roof. Now he teaches other clinicians how to do the same, clinically and as a business.
Two ways to work together
Clinical Mentorship
Sharpen your exam, muscle testing and nutrition protocols, and build the practice systems behind great care, with someone who still sees patients every week.
Speaking
Practical, evidence-minded talks for associations, seminars, chiropractic schools and nutrition companies.
Why clinicians listen
Dr. Hayden is not a consultant who left practice. He is a practicing doctor in a multi-practitioner clinic in NW Houston, working alongside three other practitioners and a dedicated office team, and everything he teaches gets tested on Monday morning.

What mentees say
From doctors Dr. Hayden has mentored. Read more on the Mentorship page.
“Dr. Hayden was a wonderful practitioner to intern with. He took the time to understand my goals, meet with me weekly, and help me strategize how to achieve them. He provided countless tools and resources while encouraging me to become the doctor I wanted to be rather than simply mimic someone else. As I prepare to open my own practice, I credit Dr. Hayden with helping me build the confidence in my skills to take that next step. Beyond being an excellent physician, he genuinely cares about his interns and serves as an incredible cheerleader throughout the process. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
Dr. Jess Bahan, DC, Sage Acupuncture & Chiropractic, Columbus, Ohio
“I’ve recently had the privilege of working with Dr. Hayden as part of a mentorship program. He is extremely knowledgeable and beyond dedicated to helping others. He helped me implement new systems in my practice that helped my practice grow and, most importantly, helped our patients improve with better health outcomes. I would highly recommend working with Dr. Hayden!”
Dr. Kyle Babcock, Babcock Chiropractic Clinic, OKC, Oklahoma
“Chase Hayden truly embodies what it means to be a doctor—‘a teacher.’ His influence extends far beyond the walls of his medical practice, reflected in the way he mentors, leads, and inspires others. His mentorship and friendship have been instrumental in shaping every facet of my life, fostering congruency, personal growth, and confidence. The provider I am today is a reflection of his leadership, guidance, and unwavering encouragement.”
Dr. Amber Horsley, DC, DCBCN, Statera, Dubuque, Iowa
