Don’t base your value on time

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.

Long Distance Running

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.

Bursitis

@Exstoreman Where exactly do we needle into the hip joint for trochanteric bursitis? (After treating muscle inhibition of course). And we do 30 Hz?

Any tips for treating osteochondritis dissecans of the elbow? Patient is 14 years old and a little wary of needles.

8 new patients seen - today!

Just an FYI. Are you using EXSTORE correctly? Today I seeing 8 new patients. For some 8 in a month might be considered good - you are capable of so much more. Reflect and ask yourself if you need more help realizing its potential.
