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.
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?
