You've probably heard about chiropractors, chiropractic therapy, or even chiropractic treatment while watching a sports news about your favorite athlete getting therapy because of an injury. It's not uncommon since chiropractic treatment is commonly associated with sports. If you're thinking that you don't need it since you don't do sports, think again. It's quiet desperation. And it's everywhere. And this is where your chiropractic marketing lesson comes in. Now please pay close attention. Because right here is one of the most powerful chiropractic marketing lessons I could ever teach you. Done right, this chiropractic marketing approach actually requires LESS WORK and LESS TIME than what you're probably doing right now. Here's how it works: First, take a look at the report of findings you do with prospective patients. Maybe it's a formal report of findings. Or, maybe it's more of an informal consultation or process you bring prospective patients through. Ya know, in the years that I've been guiding and coaching chiropractors, I've discovered something funny about what separates the successful doctors from the struggling, frustrated doctors. Not funny ha-ha, but funny in that it's not what you would think. There's one thing in your entire chiropractic practice that's worth way more than anything and everything else combined. It's the one thing that - if taken care of properly - can multiply your chiropractic marketing ROI and income very, very quickly. It's also the one thing that - if *not* taken care of properly - will... not "can"... will... prevent you from ever having a large thriving chiropractic practice. There are a variety of ways that people today can protect and even promote the health of their bodies. There are more than enough diets to choose from no matter what kinds of foods you love or hate. People can join an expensive diet club to receive accountability for their weight loss goals or people can join expensive gyms filled with amazing equipment that many people do not even know how to operate. Imagine, for a moment, being able to look into a crystal ball and determine, with relative accuracy, the likelihood of whether your chiropractic marketing and practice are going to dominate your geographic area and niche or fall prey to competition. I am sure you would agree, that would be a pretty valuable chiropractic marketing crystal ball. Well, even though no such ball exists, we do have a set of simple, yet rarely understood chiropractic marketing tools, that give us a similar level of foresight into your practices future. Bill was once quoted as saying something along the lines of, "Microsoft has had lots of competitors over the years. It's a good thing we have museums to record those moments in history." Ouch. Not a good thing to think about if you were one of those competitors, that's for sure. But, you certainly don't need to be a competitor of Microsoft to feel the sting of business competition. Chiropractic medicine is an alternative, and often referred to as complementary, approach to treating spine problems through positively affecting a person's nervous system. The profession believes that a dysfunctional spinal joint interferes with a person's nervous system which can lead to ill health.
Have you caught wind of the news? Some doctors are panicking about the pending price increase hitting us on July 15, 2007. Meanwhile, other doctors are chuckling with delight. What price increase am I referring too, and why are some doctors excited while others are totally bummed? The answer in a second. First, a quick chiropractic marketing question... What is the worst number in the entire chiropractic profession... especially chiropractic marketing? Chiropractic ranks second behind medicine as the largest health care provider. Dr. Daniel Palmer was the first to discover that spinal misalignment leads to an unhealthy body. Every chiropractor wants to know the absolute quickest and easiest way to build a million dollar practice, well, here's how to do it... With the development of a Dream 100 list. More about this in a second. First, it's important that you understand that one of the most overlooked chiropractic marketing opportunities when building any chiropractic practice is in the development of highly-profitable strategic alliance and joint venture partnerships. An environmental chiropractor is a person who takes into consideration of things in the environment. Yesterday I took my kids to the Miami Seaquarium, and while there I discovered a major flaw in the way most chiropractors think about one of the most powerful chiropractic chiropractic marketing methods available to them. While strolling from one salt water tank display to the next, I came across a tank with, what was to me, a very interesting and eye-opening explanation next to it. I don't remember what the heck was in the tank, but I'll never forget what was next to it. It is not easy to get accurate information about "chiropractor". This is a controversial health-care theme because there is not enough accurate information published online about this profession. Seems everyone, including chiropractors, are wondering whether Tony Soprano got whacked or not. I guess it's a bit of an odd topic to chat about in an article really dedicated to chiropractic marketing; but, regardless, I'll tell you what I think in a second. It shouldn't surprise you that there's a fantastic chiropractic marketing lesson we can glean from the Soprano's final episode. After all, David Chase (mastermind behind the Soprano's) is a true marketing wizard. If your doctor and chiropractor get along with each other professionally consider yourself lucky because it wasn't always that way. Just a few short years ago, the established medical community tried to put chiropractic medicine out of business. Chiropractic healing is a kind of healing that taps the body's 'inner intelligence' - that innate sense of balance the body has when a person is physically, emotionally and mentally healthy. A healing art that was developed in the United States , chiropractic healing operates on the belief that the body can heal itself if there is an uninterrupted flow of energy or nerve impulses from the brain to the rest of the body. Your infant is crying constantly, uncontrollably. Your pediatrician is telling you "to wait it out" or worse - prescribing an acid reflux medicine with alarming possible side effects for reflux and colic. Chiropractic medicine may just be the alternative you're looking for. Many parents don't even consider going to the chiropractor for their infants but chiropractic pediatric treatment has been receiving more attention in the last 20 years. Chiropractic - a term that derives from two ancient Greek words meaning "manually effective"
