There is a big difference between practices that simply open in a community versus ones that become a PART of the community. The practices that are involved with and become part of their community are busier and stick around longer.
Anthony preaches this a lot, because it works.
One way to get into your community is being present at events. Go to health fairs! You will get used to it and hone your message, elevator speech and screenings. You will find your own way. Most importantly, you can have fun!
Simply Google health fairs in your town and you’ll find upcoming health fairs.
What we do, asking people to come in, become patients and get treated, is best introduced to people through IN-PERSON contact. You have to meet people, in person. It is way more personable.
Do you love your community? Then become part of it!
Here’s a fair I found by me. Yes this example is this weekend but there are many others.

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.
Hi, everybody.
@Exstoreman , I have a new patient with right metatarsal pain that has been going on and off for 2 years. (65 yo female, petite.) It started with Achilles' tendinitis and calf pain, then with foot pain as the calf pain subsided. Eventually, it went away, but came back after wearing a pair of boots with slightly elevated heels. Pain sometimes turns into numbness, and sometimes numbness extends to all toes. Her Tibialis Anterior and Peroneal Longus has trigger points. There is only a slight tightness in the medial gastrocnemius and Soleus. She can lift her big toe while standing without pain. Pain is worse when she is driving. The metatarsal gel pad is the only thing that alleviates pain. (Now she has an orthotic, which she is breaking in slowly.) I treated the Peroneal Longus and the Adductor Hallucis as the first treatment. 1) How do I test these muscles (or others)? 2) Should I be looking at other muscles? FYI, she did PT, Chiro, acu, anti-inflammatory ...
@JoshuaSwart you would be proud. I revised my entire home page today for more of a story driven experience from patient perspective. I'd love your opinion. I just need to change my global header links but I feel everything else is improved and I used my photo shoot pictures for alot of it. Should look very polished soon. I have just a few more condition pages to write and I'll have felt I niched down more with 24 common MSK condition and nervous system articles that can be rotated yearly.
