Chirocast

Supercharge your practice and your life by taking the choice points you are confronted with everyday and making the best possible selection. How do you do this? Listen as I discuss a recent case of a child with Autism and the many choice points that occurred during the first several visits. Then join me on Saturday November 14th for ICPA's 1st ever Advanced Elective on Zoom! 8 hours of high voltage, high energy, hands-on, experiential pediatric chiropractic, taken to a new level.

"Life Without Fear" is the title of a book by Dr. Fred Barge, one of my favorite classic chiropractic texts. Dr Barge was a contemporary of BJ Palmer, and told us that living a chiropractic life didn't make you impervious to pain or health issues, but made you strong in knowing that "the power that made the body can heal the body'". Our healing potential is astonishing and most of our patients have no idea what it is capable of. I am teaching an Advanced Elective for the ICPA for all those docs who have taken my first required ICPA class.

Are you watching your thoughts? What are you focused on? Are you thinking about what you want? Or are you using precious brain energy to think about what is wrong, what others want for you, or what has always been? None of those 3 will bring what you desire. Time to consciously train our own brains. If you become what you think about, then be careful what you think about!

Are you talking the 'tic?" As BJ Palmer says, the adjustment is a 'big thing' to a person, but an even more important thing is helping them 'get the big idea." A chiropractic adjustment produces great results, but a chiropractic adjustment surround by love and a focused explanation can change someone's paradigm forever. Make sure you are doing your 'Tic Talk' every day!

Planting seeds is what we do. Not every seed will grow, but the ones that do, produce glorious and potentially far-reaching results. Some seeds become a meal for the crows; some never grow at all; and some grow a bit and then wither away. But those that grow, wow can they produce! Did you plant lots of seeds today?

The concept of Neurodiversity is more important today than ever. Chiropractors don't fix problems...we maximize potential. Our goal isn't to fix a 'broken' kid or even a bad back. Our goal should be to help that person be the best person they can be, regardless of what brought them in to our offices.

Have you ever looked inside an acorn? Is there a small tree in it, a miniature version? No...there is just a seed. It looks nothing like a tree at all. Will that seed produce just 1 tree? No...that seed will GROW 1 tree, but then the seeds from THAT tree can grow many trees! Will that seed produce just 1 leaf? No...that seed will produce thousands of leaves over the course of its lifetime! PLANT SEEDS EVERYDAY, the seeds of chiropractic!

Chiropractic reconnects the disconnected kids. We allow their brains and their bodies to work together, in harmony, which manifests as a feeling. Children improve their eye contact, socialization, communication, because their brains are blazing new pathways where they didn't exist before. Chiropractic is so much more than just 'moving bones.' It's about the feeling you get when you first see that youngster, maybe at their worst, and then watch them as they blossom.

"Life is difficult" are the opening lines to the book, The Road Less Traveled. Dr Peck goes on to say that once you truly accept the idea that life is difficult, "then life is no longer difficult." This is one of the 'great truths' as he calls it, and can be helpful in realizing that we have a big job to do, and when called to do it, must endeavor to continually aim towards our mission, our purpose, our vision.

DD Palmer was way ahead of his time. In his 1914 book, The Chiropractor, published by his wife after his passing, he coins the phrase : Neuroskeleton. This is so much like the concepts brought out by recent authors like Thomas Myers in his Anatomy Trains and Guimberteau's Architecture of Human Living Fascia. We are WAY more connected than what most anatomy textbooks discuss.
