State of the Profession The recent presidential State of the Union address is my time to address our profession and the state of our chiropractic union. Although, I am involved in my own world of chiropractic through these e-mails and my worldwide contacts, I have a glimpse of what others have to say and do. So without fanfare, I declare the state of our profession as strong. When I graduated in 1978, eons ago, the word chiropractic had already emerged and we were on a roll. Insurance paid better as there was little to no managed care. Fees were less but so were costs. Supportive diagnostic and rehabilitative devices, compared to toady, were in their infancy but they quickly took hold providing reality for doctors to answer patients questions of what's their problem, why they have it and what can they do. The divide between the medical and chiropractic world was still strong but loosened with a mutual enemy, managed healthcare. Personal Injury was more lucrative. Many aggressive doctors studied and learned the PI trade assisting their patients and their attorneys towards profit and gain. Then was then and now is now, so how do we stack up today. In every issue of our trade publications, you'll find a number of vendors selling better treatment tables and tools, sophisticated diagnostic and treatment instruments, including lasers, thumpers, detoxification and nutritional protocols and even esthetic programs to bring in the vain. There are some creative doctors that reach out to their community with boutique style practices making every office space ethereal and even sharing space and patients with medical professionals. The level of community and corporate stress has risen, especially with the scrutiny of OSHA regulations and recent employee discord of potential layoffs through downsizing. Stress is a buzzword as never before and the creative chiropractor can tap into this arena by offering specific ergonomic and physical advice. With this being said, and you agree, are you being creative enough to tap into these concerns or are you on the sidelines realizing a decade from now that you missed the boat? Are you actively creating educational material for your patients whether via newsletters, e or snail mail and offering in-office classes for them and their friends? If funds are handy, there is no limit to purchase educational programs to educate your patients while they wait with large LCD screens or they can be directed to your webpage or Facebook page for your office Youtube presentation or even provide them with their personal CD or mp3 player audio and video of chiropractic. The limit is your imagination. Doctor, if you gave a State Of Our Profession Speech, where would you be? Have a Great Day Dr. M Postings: Dr. Joel E.
