Q:

What do you think of corporate chiropractic? Specifically I mean going to the work place 
(industry, warehouse etc) with my equipment (table, masseter, activator, drop peice etc) 
and performing chiropractic consultations? Is this happening in the States? I know it is not 
really happening here. Only massage therapist work in the corporate sector in Australia. Do 
you think it would work?I'd be interested in your thoughts.

A:

Corporate networking is a viable idea if you have the proper connections with the powers 
that be. I would suspect a liability concern for some companies thinking that any harm to an 
employee on a company endorsed property holds them liable to lawsuits as well. Yes we 
have malpractice insurance but larger corporations may run the idea through their legal 
dept. and they may be concerned. Therefore .. any connection with someone in the 
company without going deeper into the corporate structure is best.

Obviously .. having a facility closer to an employee base makes it easier for them to get 
their adjustments .. so the idea is great. I doubt if it is happening in any big way here .. 
best to find a location closer but not within a corporate facility.

Now .. if you want to have screenings and evaluations this is something different and 
utilized quite often here in the states. Workshops and evaluations are quite common but 
having a clinic in the facility is not. I recommend you begin a campaign of creating a 
database of local office and labor settings .. especially where you present patients work. 
Compile a letter of purpose and send them to the safety .. company human resource or 
employee benefit person which will provide a menu of your programs and corporate 
services. Call them after the letters go out and attempt to provide some ergonomic programs 
to get your name out. Evaluations will be included or follow these programs. Check my 
webpage under Practice Tips .. I have my seminar notes concerning Community 
Workshops or something like that.
