The Secret Of Successful Chiropractic Practices

 By:  Beverly Nadler

What an extraordinary time to be a Chiropractor!  The world is clamoring for everything 
"natural", and Chiropractic is at the vanguard of natural healing. 

However, while alternative and natural healing therapies are getting a lot of positive press 
and some insurance companies even pay for various therapies, popular, mainstream 
magazines are not writing about the wonders of Chiropractic care, so it is up to you to let 
your patients and community know what you do.

Most people do not know what Chiropractic is.  Some people think it's "good for backs", 
but few have any idea that under Chiropractic care every type of condition - from asthma 
and arthritis to frequent infections and serious diseases can markedly improve and even 
heal.  (No, Chiropractors don't heal - the body does?.when the power flows).  Nor do 
people, including many Chiropractors, recognize its value for maintaining health. 

Even devotees of chi gong and tai chi don't realize the main purpose of Chiropractic care - 
that which sets it apart from all other healing modalities - is to immediately increase the 
flow of life force (chi) in the body, thus allowing the power that made the body to heal the 
body!

Many Chiropractors are so wrapped up in scientific data they have lost sight of 
Chiropractic's true contribution to humanity, which comes from its philosophical base.  
Chiropractic philosophy is not usually part of a Chiropractic education (not necessarily the 
fault of the colleges, as they must conform to licensing requirements which are interested in 
science, not philosophy)!  As a result, most new Chiropractors have no idea of the 
wondrous miracles that can occur when they adjust a patient.  

Since these "side effects" are inescapable, however, even doctors who specialize in 
musculo-skeletal conditions (back, neck, shoulder and head pain and accidents/injuries) 
have the joy of discovering that chronic illnesses, for which the patient would never think 
of going to a Chiropractor, improve and even "disappear" under Chiropractic care.  
Chiropractic's side effects are quite different from those of medicine!

Why am I telling you this?  When every Chiropractor knows that he/she "frees" the power 
that heals-the same power that creates the universe-and they are willing to let the world 
know it (the "world" is the community from which each Chiropractor draws patients.), 
patients will be lined up to come to you!

While it's important to understand the scientific basis of Chiropractic, it's not nearly as 
important as knowing  (in your heart and mind) that, as a Chiropractor, you "turn on" the 
power that heals.  You are not responsible for the healing that takes place, or, for what you 
and/or your patient may perceive as a force (chi, prana, God) will do.  But we do know 
this -  the more that Chiropractors know what they do when they give an adjustment, the 
greater the results their patients have.  

When Chiropractors understand and fully appreciate Chiropractic, there will be no such 
thing as doctors who have to do other work part time or who are forced to close their 
offices for lack of patients. 

Most , if not all, Chiropractors are familiar with motivational and inspirational teachings 
which tell us we create our lives with our thoughts and beliefs.  Every personal growth and 
business success speaker and trainer tells us this over and over again.  Few, however; 
explain the process - how we actually create with our thoughts and beliefs.  While the brief 
explanation that follows is an  IS death.  Ranging BETWEEN life and death is dis-ease, 
sickness. p.49 Volume 34 1957 B.J. Palmer, D.C.,Ph.C.
