Are you walking the walk or just talking the talk?

Are you walking the walk or just talking the talk?

This is a follow-up note from our friends at NeuroInfiniti. Please do take a moment to review it and respond to it…for your practice…for your future.

As Dr. Steve pointed out in his email this past week that Dr. Steele read on Sunday morning, contradictions hurt practices. When what we say and what we do are incongruent it hurts not only your practice BUT it hurts the people in your community. People in your community are dying right now because they do not know the TRUTH of what you do but instead continue to think you are a back and neck pain doctor. 
    It is time to change that. It is time to back the talk with the walk. It is one thing to say you are a brain and nervous system doctor but still another to then actually BE a brain and nervous system doctor. That means not only caring for the brain and nervous system in a dynamic fashion, as you will now be doing with MC2, but it also means actually measuring the brain and nervous system at the highest level in a dynamic fashion. We are not talking about measuring downstream effects of a poorly functioning nervous system like poor posture, or degeneration of the spine or muscle tension or edema of the vertebral joints or even HRV BUT ACTUALLY MEASURING THE BRAIN AND NERVOUS SYSTEM AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL, THE CORTEX OF THE BRAIN, IN A DYNAMIC FASHION. 
This is exactly what the NeuroInfiniti does. It allows you to not only talk the talk BUT NOW FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER IN OUR PROFESSION it allows you to WALK THE WALK! This is CONGRUENCY. And when what you say and what you do are CONGRUENT;     amazing things happen!
We would love to be by your side to experience those amazing things …as we have with docs all over the world!
    With all that said . . . I enjoyed meeting everyone at the MC2 event this past weekend. The mere fact that you were there speaks volumes to your desire to provide better care for your patients and what kind of patients you want to help. The information that Dr.     Steele provided only scratches the surface of the potential that lies within running a brain-based practice. And there has never been a better time for it. 
Here is a link to my calendar as well as Dr. Steele’s so that you can schedule a time that is convenient for you to discuss how we can help you explode your practice and SAVE MORE LIVES!

Is Accepting Insurance in a Vitalistic Chiropractic Practice
a Contradiction?

JANUARY 24, 2022 
Is Accepting Insurance in a Vitalistic Chiropractic Practice
a Contradiction?
This blog post is sponsored by @AhliaYoga: Join Ahlia for her meditations and yoga practices on YouTube
The notion that contradictions lead to destruction is not new and, not doing what you say you’re going to do erodes personal power, so while there are many areas of contradiction in chiropractic practice, the subject of fees is a major one.

Other common contradictions include but are certainly not limited to:Preaching vitalism but practicing mechanisticallyUsing a static exam to tell you how the nervous system is adapting to stressUnderstanding the body is a dynamic organism but adjusting the same areas over and over againReducing a practice members schedule but adjusting something every time they come inNot using other health promulgating information/referrals in a lifestyle practice or visa versa(BTW-All of these are addressed in MC2)
But, today, we finish this series on billing, insurance and cash practices.   Take a few minutes to join Dan and I as we continue unraveling this for you: 
Serving two masters may be inhibiting your forward momentum. Are you stuck? Do you also deal with this conundrum? If you want change, you must take action!

Cash VS Insurance
Where Do Superbills Fit?

JANUARY 24, 2022 Cash VS Insurance
Where Do Superbills Fit?
Dentist or Orthodontist?
This blog post is sponsored by @AhliaYoga: Join Ahlia for her meditations and yoga practices on YouTube

A recent conversation with a Mastery Coaching client revealed an issue he is having that many of you may also be experiencing.
He wants a vitalistic cash practice. Practice members want to use their insurance. How to maintain a vitalistic focus and yet still practice (and bill) in a mechanistic medical model? Dan and I discuss this below though the best analogy I offered my client was on the difference between dentists and orthodontists. Think about it – how are many chiropractic practices like dental practices?Condition or symptom basedMay also take a preventative approachAt best, seek to maintain healthy teethWe see the dentist regularly for the rest of our livesAnd, there’s nothing wrong with any of this. There are also limited opportunities to utilize insurance to cover some of the costs.

And, we also have chiropractic practices like orthodontic practices:To contribute to a happier futureTo gain an advantage in living the healthiest life we canTo increase the odds of living to one’s potentialWe do whatever we can to maintain the initial correctionAnd, there’s nothing wrong with this approach either though insurance is almost never a consideration…this is elective care.
While dentists and orthodontists commonly separate their practices, chiropractors often provide both levels of service in the same practice and under the same roof.

Integrating Technics: TRT and MC2

February 2022
TRT and MC2
This blog post is sponsored by @AhliaYoga: Join Ahlia for her meditations and yoga practices on YouTube
MC2 (Mastering Chiropractic with Certainty) is built on TRT and Upper Cervical engines. MC2 and TRT both look at areas of dural attachment as primaries. Both can be done by hand or Instrument. Both Dr. Holder and I, after co-teaching in New Mexico a 2 decades ago, agree that DC’s that are exposed to both technics invariably have a better depth of understanding and application than those that study one or the other.

After two weeks of applying TRT in my upper cervical and full spine practice, I found that the overwhelming majority of people checked atlas clear prone with TRT but absolutely not clear when checking them in a standard upper cervical supine analysis. And thats when the first major evolutionary shift occurred.

By first checking and clearing the upper cervical area and then TRT analysis, I found I needed to do much less. Just 91% of the people I adjusted on a given day needed to be adjusted in two areas or less. In the process of doing less and doing different to my patients from visit to visit, I found that my assessment, though both supine and prone, became a more efficient approach for me.

Many non-linear approaches find something to do to a person on every visit due to an absence of clear starting and ending points. I define non-linear differently. A vitalistic definition would be that input does not equal output. By establishing clear starting and ending points, I often find that nothing needs to be done on a visit and decided that that was the best indicator to alter a care program. I also found that, once the UC spine is clear, the Derifield leg check showed distortion of the dura in either a vertical (flexion-extension) or horizontal (rotational) plane.

In summary,

  1. MC2 accesses and adjusts (when needed) the upper cervical spine first.
  2. I expect my patients to be balanced with 3 or fewer adjustments on a visit.
  3. MC2 teaches two primary indicators prone with one anomaly.
  4. MC2 introduces and uses a procedure known as bio-toning to determine a precise contact point and line of drive for every adjustment.

Contradictory Findings and How are YOU Different?

 

FEBRUARY 14, 2022
Handling Contradictory Findings and
Communicating How You’re Different
This blog post is sponsored by @AhliaYoga: Join Ahlia for her meditations and yoga practices on YouTube
Two parts this week folks and both critical to your clinical and practice success. Part I Have you ever checked a patient and found listings for the same vertebra on both sides? What about torque in both directions? What to do since you know wrong side and/or wrong torque can be devastating to the health and well-being of your practice member?   Here’s Part I on Contradictory Findings: Critical to your Clinical Success!

Part II today was also submitted to the MC2 Forum on Facebook. The question raised was, “Hello Docs! I’m curious if anyone has had a successful – and somewhat brief – way to communicate on the phone the differences in what you do compared to what they have maybe experienced in the past? I suppose weeding out those that are just interested in pain based care.Since September, I have transitioned my practice into MC2 analysis and mainly use the integrator and I am finally almost all the way out of insurance. I am the only MC2 tonal chiro in the area and the concept seems very foreign to most people here.”   Serving two masters? Are you stuck? Do you also deal with this conundrum? If you want change, you must take action! Happy to assist your transition to CASH.
To YOUR MOMENTUM!

Forum Testimonial:“Adjusting and caring for children is one of the most rewarding experiences I have had as a chiropractor. I wanted to share one of those great moments with the group. A mom brought her 10 month old daughter in to see me because her daughter was struggling with constipation, feeding issues, sleep issues and attachment issues. Dad was unable to even hold her or play with her. Today was her first visit after her first adjustment last week. When I asker mom of any changes, she smiled from ear to ear. She said that sleeping was a lot better and dad was even able to hold and play with his daughter. The daycare even commented on how well she was today.
I wanted to share this as a reminder that not only do we impact the health and well being of a child, we also impact the health and well being of everyone around them.To all the Chiros in the group.

Here’s Part I on First Phone Call Communications: 
Part II was also submitted to the MC2 Forum and the question raised was, “have you ever checked a patient and found listings for the same vertebra on both sides?” And, “what about torque in both directions?”  Its critical to know what to do in this situation since wrong side and/or wrong torque can be devastating to the health and well-being of your practice member!

Spiderman Message

JANUARY 01, 2022
Messages from Spiderman
This blog post is sponsored by @AhliaYoga: Join Ahlia for her meditations and yoga practices on YouTube
While not a movie buff by any means, I like to be entertained and, more importantly, get a message or two that provides vision, direction and motivation. I recommend you go see Spiderman and see what lessons may be in it for you.

Here’s what I got:
A common theme through all the S movies has been, “With great power comes great responsibility” and that reminded me that we all have great power so I encourage US ALL to accept the great responsibility that comes with that power.  I was reminded that we are all magical-just look at the transformations you have all experienced and that you have been a catalyst for. Choosing to be magical is up to you. How often do we forget that when you help one person, you help everyone? Watch children because they haven’t forgotten that we are all connected. Such a great reminder to revisit our principles and our philosophy. Even superheroes need and get adjusted-be the role model that the people in your life see you as being. Everyone needs a team or to be part of a team with agrred upon goals and visions. “It’s what we do” was a statement that really resonated with me and my mind went to IMPACT. I was reminded of meeting a young man while I was still a student who was a professional soccer player. He had an injury that ended his career and had been to every practitioner he could think of before seeing me. After his first TOGGLE, he was dramatically improved and went on to become a great upper cervical toggle doc who has been serving huge numbers of people for 40 years so far. That’s IMPACT! So please, REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE!! To YOUR MOMENTUM!

Spiderman Message Responses
I’m so glad the Spiderman message resonated to positively for so many of you. For those that responded directly to me, thanks so much for the kudos and words of support. One response in particular also contains an important message and so, with his permission, here it is:
“Just to respond to the Spider-Man message. This fall after landing in the hospital again, thinking ‘this could be the big one’ I seriously gave some thought to retirement. You know it has been about 25 years since I first was going to retire until you showed me a better way to practice and live my life. Thank-You!! However, after taking a month off and doing some real soul searching I came to the same Spider-Man conclusion: Chiropractic is what I do! ( and I do a damn good job at it thanks to you!!) So I’m very excited to start year 49 this month! It feels good to work, not because you need to, but because you truly want to! Chiropractic has been so good to me and my family that I feel this is the best way I can pay back the universe! Sometimes I feel sorry for the DCs who just “don’t get it”! I love this profession! What a beautiful blessing it has been! Thanks for all your help and friendship! Anything I can do to help you, just ask! Love to you my friend!  Happy New Year!” – Jay
So please, REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE!!
 To YOUR MOMENTUM!
