Hidden Treasures Your community offers a wealth of opportunities to expand both the knowledge of chiropractic as well as your practice. These past few weeks, my e-mail theme has been community and patient education. Whether you create educational programs, send proactive educational material, place awareness posters, curbside banners or just spend a few quality moments per patient letting them know why and what you do and how it would be so beneficial for their family, fellow employees or social group of friends, the act of educating will eventually pay off. A few quite moments or during a staff meeting, spend time outlining a 5-10 miles radius around your office. If you are in a very rural location, consider where your patients come from and target these areas. The outcome will be a demographic description of who lives and works where and who plays and just hangs around. A closer look will bear fruit if you peel off the edges and determine that mornings may offer a group to meet and greet, an afternoon where folks congregate during or after work or evenings where socializing may include proactive health and wellness discussions. Just take a few moments and discuss this with staff and some active patients and youšll be surprised at the number of possibilities or hidden treasures there are. For example, a number of families near my office home school their children and belong to a network of others doing the same. Parents have teamed together to provide their children a quality education along with field trips and group study. Their collective need for specialized educational opportunities is perfect for us. I asked one of my home schooling parents to e-mail her group and see if there was an interest in a class titled the Incredible Body. I offered my office and myself as both classroom and instructor. Initial interest was very positive and came to fruition this past Tuesday with over 20 parents and students attending. I created a childrenšs PowerPoint program discussing the systems of the body, also used Visual Odyssey software: www.visual-odyssey.com for visual effect and made it a point to describe the wonders of the body and its relationship to the nervous system and the role of chiropractic, so the parents, all women, could relate our importance. The program was a hit, rendered many questions from the kids and their parents and provided me a great opportunity to discuss chiropractic, along with fielding questions about insurance and adjustments. For sure, we have a few new patients and hopefully others showing interest will take me up on my two week complimentary evaluation offer. Is there a school nearby, a church, sports club, municipal facility or any venue with attentive people? Think of what program would be helpful, whether a postural screening, topical workshop, health awareness flyers in fact, there is no limit to what to discuss just a limit of your commitment. If you have limited space in your office, canvas the community for a common area; a library, school room, recreational center, church social hall and ask if you can use them for this community service. Once a program is possible consider what is necessary to both promote and provide. Gather the promotional material, create the handouts and flyers, have ready survey forms for guest to complete and naturally be ready with dynamic programs and new patients. If you need assistance promoting or starting an active PR program, check my books found on my webpage. Workshop Workbook, Public Relations and Marking Workbook and Personal Injury Workbook are each $30 or just purchase my useful Smart Start Book for $60 which covers the nuts and bolts of practice both management and promotion. This was my text when I taught at Life and I encourage all my previous students to dust off their books and re-read them, it has helped so many to get started and helped others jump start their practices again.

They also want to downplay any credit to the subluxation diagnosis. Insurance companies have already started to deny claims using these new guidelines. The Biophysics group, Dr. Deed Harrison has a group who has made new guidelines, they have the most published papers in our profession and are ignored by these radiologists).
