Why isn't chiropractic the obvious first choice in health care? A momma who just had a successful VBAC after having chiropractic care most of her pregnancy said, "I don't know why every pregnant momma isn't getting adjusted!" A new momma recently brought her baby in because she said "I heard that chiropractic care is good for alignment and proper functioning." Wow!

Awaken to the reason you wanted to become a chiropractor in the first place. Seek the best information you can find on what you want to focus on. Find that source and learn everything you can from it. Control that new information by taking massive action. That is how your life can have 'that extra something.'

Title quote from "The Bigness of the Fellow Within" by BJ Palmer, 1949, the Story of That Something.

Keeping it simple doesn't seem oversimplifying. Rather we see that practice members like detailed understanding of what's going on with them or their children. The concept of simple doesn't mean easy either. Simple means clear, focused, concise, transparent, telling it like it is. People appreciate that in today's overly stressed-out society.

Chiropractors are brain and nerve system specialists. No matter how we practice, whether we are pediatric or geriatric DC's, focus on kids or PI or seniors or athletes, chiropractic changes the brain first! The spine might be the conduit, the way we enter the nerve system, but it's not the last step. It's just our way in!

Functional neurology is the basis of a solid pediatric chiropractic exam. We are not only looking at spine, posture, shoulder & hip height or anterior head carry. We are looking at the child's brain through simple neuro exams that tell us how well that child is connected or disconnected.

Questions haven't really changed over the years. "What are the most important points in a contract?" "How do you find a place to settle?" "How do you know if an office is right for you?" The salient point that runs through all this can be answered with a Zen-like statement: "When it seems right and it goes smooth, you'll know."

Patagonia, valued at $1 Billion, just sold the company, but instead of selling to a person or a group, they sold Patagonia to a 'trust', whose intent is to help save the planet! WOW! Instead of selling for a profit, they sold for a purpose. Now that's commitment!

When someone's been getting adjusted their whole life, they naturally think that everyone gets adjusted. It's so embedded in their lifestyle that it's what they do! It's part of their health habits like exercising and eating right. Do you have kids like this in your practice, who are being raised as chiro-kids?

BJ Palmer asked years ago, "which side of the yellow line are you on?", referring to the double yellow line on a highway. The term diagnosis means "between 2 possibilities." What are you thinking when you examine a child or pregnant momma for the first time? Which side of the line are you on?

A patient said to me a few days ago, "you have the dream job, having all these kids around you all day long." They were right...there is nothing that brings me more joy than looking in an infant, toddler, child on the spectrum, or a pregnant momma's eyes, and seeing the gratitude. How thankful I am that chiropractic found me and that Dr Larry Webster turned me in the right direction!
