Facing the impossible

How much longer can a Chiropractor be ignored and only be seen as a back and neck doctor? The world is desperately searching for immunity and is looking everywhere except in our offices. With so much emphasis on short-term relief, chemical solutions, and quick answers, is it no wonder that the miracles of Chiropractic are all but ignored? Your state board is not going to help you or anyone else. It’s not their function. You must take it upon yourself to create a space in your community that is unique and different from what society believes you to be: “My back, my back.” Remember, society doesn’t know a thing about health. This is where patient education comes in while also standing before your people in truth and not caving with your recommendations. The powers to be have taught the masses that if they do what they are told, they will be safe. Whaaat? Having everyone under protective custody and scared of the world and its people, but safe? Kids have had their learning abilities handicapped and stifled by remote learning. You can’t get this time back for your kids, it’s gone. All other diseases, including emotional and mental impairment (invisible disease), are all but forgotten as the world’s obsession with only one disease continues. Face the impossible and succeed. Stop accepting excuses of why growth is impossible. It’s not. “Don’t piss down my back and tell me it’s raining.” We have record after record, personal best members who are enjoying unparalleled growth. Stop listening to people who don’t know what health is telling you that your recommendations are crazy. Don’t fight for the right to be a part of this insane world. Represent a distinct and different choice for people to make.

Practice tip of the week

Make laminated posters of the concentric circles and the Baseline Assessment to be used with dry-erase markers. You can have these made online or at your local printer. Every day your practice members will repeat their symptoms over and over to you. Chiropractors hear this their whole careers, with no end in sight. With these tools, you will take them to the cause of their problems instead of adding your name to being merely symptom removers. It’s a bridge that constantly educates and reinforces how health is lost and how it is restored and maximized. Interference and compromise to the nerve system can have thousands of effects but stems from physical, emotional, and chemical interference, i.e. one cause. If you have the chops and the communication skills, introduce them to the VSC complex. If you don’t have the chops yet, keep it simple and speak of interference and compromise to the nerve system. Plan a Health Awareness Head-to-Head in your immediate future. Reach people where they are, but don’t stop educating. A couple of weeks of educating a patient is like training CAs for only two weeks and then putting them to the task, expecting them to continue to grow and blossom in your office. Choose to educate and don’t leave it up to chance: the odds are not in your favor. Low patient visit averages and not bringing in their kids are red flags of no understanding of what Chiropractic is, regardless of what they claim to the contrary.

Love Has No Color News

Can’t you feel it? With the first hint of spring in the air, doesn’t your mind wander to the Fun Days in August on the Reservation? Are you thinking about the kids, the fun, the heat, the food, the music, etc.? It is almost 5 months away but because we had a modified Boot Camp last year, we want to make this year our most exciting one yet. We are also looking for VIP guests: patients who refer lots of people into your office who would relish this opportunity for themselves and their families. You know the type: adventurous, you won’t need to babysit them, and they are the ‘can do’ type of people. I get a sneaking suspicion we are going to be doing more community service and reaching more people with adjustments, Naturopathic care, food, etc. This is going to be BIG!
