Results - not time - are how to measure how effective your treatments are. Never base your rates in time.
I would take any mention of time OFF your website. If you want to include wording to the effect that an initial visit may be up to a certain amount of time, that’s one thing. But you aren’t an insurance company and your treatments should not be attached to a pre determined amount of time. That’s setting an expectation that you don’t want the patient to have
I had more happy patients when I spent less time with them but used skills that were much more effective.
Believe me, patients don’t want to be in your clinic for an hour or more. Unless you serve alcohol and food.
Caveat - you don’t need to spend 10 years learning how to be effective and deliver exceptional results. We have the training to get you there much faster.
Thank you to @susan_beck for showing me this
Neat little feature on the Locals Phone app.

Spring is coming… eventually. And when it does, runners will start emerging again, not just the die-hards who have been braving the cold all winter. I treat a whole spectrum of runners in clinic, from Ironman athletes to weekend joggers and everything in between. This webinar is an absolute goldmine, and I hope you get as much out of it as I have.
Question about a patient - chronic low back pain, but also has pain under the left sit bone aggravated by sitting, which is worse and more noticeable than the back pain.
Bilateral TFL and psoas tested inhibited
SLR negative
First visit - treated bilateral internal oblique, TVA, glute max and glute med - saw 50% improvement
Repeated same treatment, came back and said pain was worse and back to where it was before starting treatment.
Treated her today face up - internal oblique, TVA, and TFL bilateral with stim.
Curious if you have any insights as to how else I could approach this? Thank you!
Vascular TOS, anyone? I have a good friend (male, 45 yo) who was developing blood clots in his arm and underwent 1st rib removal surgery 5 years ago. Recently he was hospitalized with another blood clot. MDs are divided as to what to do (re-route his jugular, for example). I'm wondering if there's anything I can offer him acupuncturally to help prevent clots regardless of whatever else he's doing. (He's now on blood thinners.) @Exstoreman have you ever treated a vascular form of TOS?
@Exstoreman I now have several patients with L4-L5 herniation and drop foot and/or leg-foot nerve pain. Some of them are making good progress, others not so much.
Should I be doing soft tissue work around L4-L5 and/or elsewhere?
And you previously mentioned there's a way to use gua sha effectively for this (since I have hand/wrist injury), can you describe that?
