Lloyd electric hi-lo table for sale E-mail message this week: Hang in there It¼s been almost three years since I began sending weekly e-mails to chiropractors worldwide. Presently they go to over 4600 DC¼s in 30 countries .. the internet is truly a marvel to use. This forum has been a weekly link between many of you requesting information or wishing to post an item or two. It¼s great to receive positive replies of items bought and sold and DC¼s finding a position or office to buy or sell. Let¼s keep this up and just share as we go along. If you visit my webpage you will find a huge resource of updated material from advice to newsletters .. take a peek and spend a few hours when you have a chance. Also .. if you have a question or two concerning practice management and have no one to ask .. just send it to me and either I¼ll take a stab at it or find someone with an answer .. please don¼t flounder in practice purgatory because you lack some sound advice .. you will find my answers on my webpage titled cyberconsulting. Okay .. this brings me to today¼s theme .. hang in there. I receive multiple e-mails daily with questions .. often easy to answer but at times it requires a lot of hand holding and step by step methods to uplift someone or jump start a stagnant practice. Sharing is caring and I¼m pleased to help. As many of you veteran¼s know conditions come in waves. All of a sudden low back patients come in droves followed by a week of headaches. Whether it¼s cosmic AT&T .. as it was explained to us years ago .. I don¼t know .. this is just how it works. Recent e-mails have been sent to me by proud DC¼s having a difficult time getting their practice in gear and treading in water as they determine ways to combat managed care and other barriers to their forward movement. My reply .. besides some sound advice .. is „hang in there.¾ I graduated in 1978 making me an ancient mariner. There was little insurance coverage for chiropractic then and little understanding of what we really did. Today the reverse is true .. insurance is offered within many plans as while chiropractic is understood by some many more. Yes .. you may not be a network DC or the plan offers a pittance of what the patient needs .. but insurance and value of what we do is available to many more. If you creatively plan a method to meet the value with the need .. you will surpass the insurance quagmire and be there for your community. Okay .. you might be asking yourself what the heck am I writing about .. well .. give this thought .. we are experts in biomechanics .. we specialize in subluxation elimination and management at best .. we understand the relationship between posture and health .. we strive to focus the patients attention away from symptoms and more towards cause .. we can assist a safety manager of a local corporation to keep their employees productive and reduce their downtime .. we can offer our expertise to local clubs and churches for their special meetings concerning health and wellness .. we can assist other healthcare providers as an adjunct to their patient¼s care .. we can offer our skills in structure and forensics for those involved in injuries .. we can help those within their golden years to be mobile and foresee a brighter and more comfortable future .. we can spark the lives of youth in our community as an advocate towards safe sports activity .. we can do so much that flies in the face of managed care .. so hang in there. So .. you may think you are in a hole in the wall office location .. everything you¼ve done to gather new patients has failed .. whatever .. hang in there .. take a deep breath and re-read slowly the areas I outlined above .. gather data within your marketing farm and begin planting seeds .. it¼s time. Again .. need help? .. you are a keyboard away for some advice. Check my answer to this problem under Cyberconsulting ..titled „HMO¼s killing you?¾ If you have time to share .. I¼d like to pick your brains as well. If you have had some creative ways to overcome being left out of insurance programs .. send it along. I¼ll place it on my webpage so others can benefit from your good work. Sharing is truly caring.
