Chirocast

Health care in the US is not about 'health' nor is it about 'care.' It often is about what gets paid by insurance. Chiropractic has a unique opportunity to truly be about healthcare, educating our practice members that health comes from within, that health takes time, that health is an inside job.

Gravity is ever present and in a recent journal article, it mentioned how gravity might be the cause of certain GI related issues such as Irritable Bowel. Ultimately what this means is that the brain and nerve system are unable to accommodate gravity's ever-present 'caudal pull' and dysfunction occurs.

There is no competition if your build yourself a niche practice. If your 'jam' is pediatrics, and your focus is on optimizing brain and nerve function, your brand is unique, different, special. There is so much competition in back pain. Stand out! Adjust more kiddos!

What can someone do to prepare themselves for the most difficult pediatric cases? Learn as much as you can, become a sponge, reading articles & books about pediatrics, the brain and nerve system, immersing yourself in places & with people who are doing what you want to do, and go to seminars like the ICPA seminars that make you an authority in your community.

Why pediatric chiropractic? We've got to disrupt how chiropractors take care of kids, and why! Kids are our future, and if we don't focus on the kids, who is going to?

Ever cut open an acorn? Is a little tree inside of it? No...it's just a bunch of tree dust! But that dust knows just what to do, IF given the right food and soil and sunshine and rain.
