Chirocast

What is really happening when a child has colic or reflux? There is a mis-interpretation of the experience. The baby has taken in food but then it mis-interprets the meaning of that food! The problem isn't a lack of Pepcid or Prevacid. It is a confusion of the situation. Of course there might be a physical or physiological issue (sensitive/allergic to something in the breastmilk/formula), but the underlying question is: why? It all points to the brain!

No matter what your chosen profession, are you training like an Olympian? What are you doing everyday to hone your craft? If you are done with your 'required' tasks of the day, how do you spend the rest of your workday? Are you reading books, listening to podcasts, doing activities that empower and inspire you? Are you aiming for the Gold? That which you focus on, you become. If that is true, then focus on what you really want!

Four of the best words you can hear from a new practice member: You gave me hope! There are so many kids with so many challenges out there today. The latest statistics show 1 in 5 kids have a mental health disorder. Wow! We've got to reach more kids! Heal the world, one child, one family at a time, with brain & nerve system based chiropractic care!

Chiropractors are reconnectors. We make sure that the brain and the nerve system are working as close to 100% as possible, thereby improving neuroplasticity. We are not back doctors or bone doctors or spine doctors. The spine is our entry into the nerve system. It is what we use to improve their potential but not the end-goal. It is the first step!

How many times has a new patient said to you, "I've never heard this before"? Usually from people who have been to chiropractors "for years." Chiropractic isn't a secret, and neither is the way the human body works. But so few people really understand how important that brain/body connection is. It's our job to tell them!

Being in practice for 32 years is really quite extraordinary. Students and docs are constantly asking business related questions, which I am honored and flattered to answer. Examples are: how do you create a cash practice, how long do you spend on a first visit, do you adjust on the first visit?

What's your superpower? Not the imaginary things like flying or invisibility or speed. What's your superpower now, right now? If you are a chiropractor, maybe your superpower is your belief in the science, art and philosophy of chiropractic? A patient very kindly yesterday said "You are amazing, Dr Rubin." I replied..."the healing power of the body is amazing. We just tapped into it." That is our superpower! Tapping into the bodies incredible potential!

What fire is burning inside of you? Is there something that you love doing or dream about doing and you are beyond ready with anticipation? Now is the time, here is the place, today is the day! This recording is from a live presentation in 2017.

"The responsibilities are many," BJ Palmer says. Chiropractic is NOT the science, art & philosophy of cracking backs. It is SOOOO much bigger than that. Understand that it's not easy getting through chiropractic school, it's not easy starting a practice or associating or even interning in a new practice. There are a lot of responsibilities. But chiropractic in and of itself IS simple. Find a subluxation, fix it in whatever way feels right (no technique wars), and then: Next! Move to the next pregnant momma, next child with Autism, next baby, and repeat the process. Find, fix, repeat. That is simple.

In Frontiers of Neuroscience, a recent article talked about blending the ancient wisdom of Yoga with modern neuroscience into something called Yoga Therapy. The article was filled with specific philosophical tenets of Yoga, with statements like "moving between the 'gunas' of yoga and neural platforms". Brain based chiropractors can blend chiropractic philosophy with modern neuroscience the way Yoga Therapy is now.
