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.

Hi Doc @Exstoreman, patient presented with neck pain and twitching around scapula and tricep muscles ever since weighted seated rows at gym. The twitching is random. I’ve done exstore and cleaned up tropic changes, he had a lot between c1 to c 5 (splenus capitus). His neck is better but the twitching remains. I’ve checked for trigger points and tropic changes in the area of twitches but nothing obvious stands out. Today I went with perfusion and released neck muscles. Love your thoughts on this.

Little win!

Sharing my little win treating my own right hand texting thumb yesterday with motor points for opponens pollicis, abductor pollicis, flexor pollicis. 3 needles, 5 minutes treatment with the pointer plus, slightly/very awkwardly with my non-dominant left hand :) and 85% improved today. I have just some residual ache at the 1st MCP, ulnar side. @Exstoreman what do you think of a high frequency intraarticular treatment, or what would be a good next step to get to 100%?

@BrittLeeworthy I gotta say. You been doing some awesome work with your website with your membership section. I'm loving the structure of your plans. I haven't really seen this anywhere else.

How long did it take you to come up with this structure? I been trying to come up with a concise membership plan and what you have is awesome. Just wanted to say.
