Marketing and Public Relations Chiropractic is quite diverse. Besides our squabbles concerning expanded scope .. technique and philosophy we also assist patients with a myriad of conditions and origins of complaints. You may consider yourself a well educated clinician with expanded skills to diagnose and treat those you serve but if you serve less than your potential you have fallen prey to either complacency .. peer pressure or marketing incompetence. Remember .. chiropractic is a business as well as a healing art. The number of people you help is dependent of the number of people you either meet via professional alliances .. community activity or direct referral. Regardless of how you tend to the patient .. it is the number of patients you attend to that is one barometer of professional success. Quality over quantity and skill over slipshod care goes without saying. Therefore .. I recommend you evaluate your practice profile. If you are satisfied with the practice flow and numbers of patients you see and feel comfortable with the level of care provided then move on and mentor others. But .. if you sense the desire to serve more and have the competency to offer your best then you may wish to expand your practice base and spend time helping more. Although Chiropractic College offered the facility to learn and drink from the well it was a poor facilitator of practice savvy and management. Marketing and public relations was considered a verboten subject or mere cursory ideas were explored. As diverse our skills are so too is the diversity of our patients. One example is auto or work accidents .. personal injury. How many of you would avoid a chiropractic evaluation after an auto collision. I would suspect a potential soft tissue injury occurred and a specific hands on examination would be in order. Who better to participate in managing the case other than a chiropractor? The fear of litigation and testifying is secondary to the benefit of the patient and the expert opinion offered to their attorney. Who better to assist in correct diagnosis and provide legitimate and responsible care than a chiropractor. Set aside any negative perception the insurance company carries about chiropractic care. We excel in conservative care for sustained injuries and along with proper alternative healthcare referrals .. if needed .. the patient will benefit greatly. Make no mistake about it! Therefore ..creating a professional alliance with local attorneys is a marketing idea that would benefit your patient .. their client and you. Since many people see an attorney first after an auto injury the attorney needs a doctor to provide their client a proper diagnosis and treatment. Suffice to say that there are some less than savory or legitimate attorneys as there are chiropractors .. so be aware. I havenžt the space to expand the discussion on marketing to the legal profession .. you may wish to purchase my Personal Injury Workbook which has many ideas and can be purchased for $25 via my webpage or attend three weekend personal injury seminars in Atlanta provided by Dr. Fernandez starting in September .. call them at the number above if interested which will provide you a better handle on the subject. If you have questions concerning attorney or professional marketing e-mail me or check my webpage under Cyberconsulting and scroll down to see if there are any answers for you. Therefore if you wish to expand your practice with patients desiring your care and more importantly needing your care .. you must introduce yourself to members of your community who in turn meet and greet others in need. Let the marketing and public relations cycle begin. Have a Great Day Dr. M PS .. if you are interested to create an ethical alliance with a PI attorney in Cleveland call Bradley L.
