A Healthy Practice - 9/7/2008

If you asked me to define a Healthy Practice for you, I would start off by saying that it would be one that is lead by a turned on, service oriented, proud to be a Chiropractor doctor, who has hired and thoroughly trained one heck of an incredible support staff, who work in a magnificently beautiful high tech facility and who actually embrace a vision and concept that is far beyond the thinking and actions of mortal and average chiropractors.

A Healthy Practice would have to have a higher purpose, meaning that mere survival is clearly NOT the goal.  The purpose would be so compelling as to be able to be written above the mantel of the door for all to see on the way in.  I’m talking about something like, “Enter – Inside Resides a World of Wellness and Natural Health.”

A Healthy Practice enjoys a steady stream of new patients who are attracted, not seduced, to the model of practice you have created, but more importantly are somehow linked to the vibrations and feelings that emanate out from your office. I am speaking about that beam, that invisible force field that captures those who are synergistically attuned to who you are and what you are attempting to create – the invisible power within.

A Healthy Practice has patients who follow instructions, stay longer, are willing to pay cash, refer more often and get totally involved in the Chiropractic lifestyle.  The result of that, as you can well imagine, is less stress and burnout, increased practice volume and profitability.  Sounds great, doesn’t it?

The major blockage to building what we are calling a Healthy Practice seems to be the doctor or doctors, the leader or leaders of the practice.  You see the practice and the results you get are always based upon the visions and consciousness of the practitioners who set the standards, write the policies and enforce the procedures that stimulates the Law of Attraction, as heretofore described.

A Healthy Practice has at its helm a leader who is confident and certain, and is more magnetically hypnotized to health and wellness than prospective patients are hypnotized to problems, negativity, fear, and the old fashioned, now out of date, current medical model of symptomatic relief.

You see, the number one issue facing all practicing Chiropractors is patient compliance, meaning the ability to motivate and educate patients to the degree that they remain under care long enough to allow the body to heal itself from within.

Sadly, after 112 years, the reason is that to this day the majority of patients still come in for pain relief – and therefore when the pain goes away, they tend to go away. Additionally, when the patient is not properly educated as to the long term results and benefits of Chiropractic care, they tend to go away when their insurance benefits go away.

Lack of compliance causes reduced results because a less informed or motivated patient misses more appointments which results in your health instructions not being followed – and down the rabbit trail you go.

A Healthy Practice requires focus, intensity and a devotion to a principle and a level of service that is only spoken about at seminars and in books, but rarely translate themselves into the world of actual practice.

Finally, Healthy Practices come FROM healthy, loving, service oriented, clinically competent, outstanding individuals, who are dedicated to rendering a new and better model of health care to humanity.
