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.

50 today, 50 three days ago

You can see as many patients as you want if you learn the Exstore system to the level that you master it. And the best way to master it is come to the clinical intensive this October. There’s two spots left and there’s nothing that can replace this intensive learning experience . You will treat over 60 patients in two days. There’s nothing else like it and no other instructor anywhere in the world is offering anything close to this.

@Exstoreman Difficult case

43 year old woman

CC: R drop foot progressively worsening

Systemic steroids helped the pain but not the drop foot

Has 6 lumbar vertebrae

Imaging:

July 2026: L-spine MRI - moderate/severe L4/L5 disc injury with severe neural stenosis

L6 fracture when 15 years old from diving injury (healed)

Foot drop:

Aug 2025: horseback riding trip (7 days long) no falls, just lots of riding; when travelling back home after her riding days, she notices her R foot stopped dorsiflexing - took 8 weeks to resolve

June 2026: foot drop came back when doing one sided lifting exercises

Neuro-surgeon said if not in severe pain, neurological recovery post surgery is 50/50 so don't risk surgery if not needed

What are your thoughts about treatment? With the severity of her disc issue, is electro-acupuncture going to help at all?

I see her sporadically so I haven’t been able to treat her appropriately. Stimulating the fibular nerve is incredibly uncomfortable on her, but we managed to do it the ...
