Get More New Patients Now E-mail message this week .. Let's Get Off Our Butts That may have gotten your attention. Yesterday, the ACA reported to its members that United Healthcare had released new policies declaring that there is insufficient evidence to support chiropractic care for children and adolescents or for treatment of headaches. ACA will continue to pursue this issue with United Healthcare, but wanted to clarify the situation for those doctors who are contracted with ACN, who will continue to cover these diagnosis for their members. When I read the e-mail concerning the United Healthcare's decision not to pay for any pediatric or headache related services, I said Wow!! Am I dreaming or has some lame chiropractor providing opinions for the insurance provider given the most ridiculous advice possible. Now come on, how many of you reading this e-mail throughout 32 great countries spanning the entire globe have adjusted and helped greatly people with all sorts of headaches? Many of these folks have been through the wringer with medical pills, potions and salves attempting to rid or manage their migraines or general all purpose stress, sinus headaches or whatever you call it. If I could see a show of hands, I bet it would be most of you raising them right now. In fact, very few of us have failed, even with the crudest of technical prowess, to help many with headaches. So how can an insurance provider, in 2007 yet, decide after so many years of insurance coverage and the existence of our great profession, that either chiropractic care was useless or dangerous for their insured with cervicogenic headaches either trapping the greater or inferior occipital nerve or aggravating the cervical and sub occipital soft tissue bed after a violent whiplash, sports injury or fall or general physical stress resulting into neurological stress? You amongst us doing specific cervical work, analyzing biomechanically the subluxation complex how will you respond? Regardless if you are in or out of network or insurance coverage does not apply to your office, what have you to say? As far as children, I don't have to go far beyond my three. They were delivered via my hands in my home and never visited a pediatrician, taken medication of any type while in my charge, and that was into their twenties. They rarely were sick, their friends not lucky enough to be adjusted, were sick often. My kids felt jilted in school when medicine time came and bottle after bottle was pulled from student cubbies to be administered to the classmates in the throw of an illness. "Daddy, why can't I have something," I heard more than once from either of my three. It didn't take long for me to "straighten" them out with a loving understanding of the healing of the body and how they have been lucky to been cared for chiropractically from birth. How lucky they were and how unfortunate it will be for any of our professional charges, of all ages, if you are either intimidated to back off from checking children or neglect the cervical spine to rid the plague of chronic headaches from those that pass your threshold. Yes, we can treat and not mention the proper diagnosis code but it just takes us down a little further into the abyss of denial. We are a weak profession both in numbers and in agreement. This will not change in my professional lifetime but individually and collectively via state and district associations, not to mention our schools and national groups, more research or awareness articles must be sent to both the local and national media. Seems we share amongst ourselves within our professional periodicals like preaching to the choir, but this is not enough. Assign member doctors with writer's ability to send regular reports to the media highlighting the benefits and wonders of chiropractic. Assign research students in every campus to use their time highlighting common subjective complaints and tagging it with objective findings and chiropractic adjustments as a safe alternative to lifetime medication and impaired personal performance. We need to get off our duffs and kick some butt Now, I feel better Have a Great Day Dr. M Postings: Dr. Joel E.

Get More New Patients Now: The following is a message from one of our most successful chiropractors. If you are like me, you are always looking for better, more effective and efficient ways to get new patients into your office and to keep them. Over a year ago I followed up on a marketing system that was advertised in one of the profession's papers. And though it definitely sounded too good to be true and I was completely skeptical, I saw so much potential with the system that after lots of research and study on the system, I decided to purchase it and use it. I just want to tell you that it was one of the most beneficial things that I have done for my practice. If you know me very well, you know that I don't make that type of claim often or certainly without meaning it. And after more than 22 years in practice, it takes a lot to impress me. I'm going to encourage you to click on the following link, read and watch the information about the system. http://www.getmorenewpatientsnow.com I know that you are missing out and are working harder than you have to if you are not using this system. Do yourself a favor and get going on this right away. Yours in Chiropractic, Sherry Durrett DC, DPhCS, LCP Dr. Durrett also has chiropractic mission trips to Russia.
