Are you also seeing Sympathetic Dominant Patterns?

 Are you also seeing Sympathetic Dominant Patterns?
This blog post is sponsored by @AhliaYoga: Join Ahlia for her meditations and yoga practices on YouTube

Earlier this week, the question was asked, “Has anyone had T1, T6, and T12 show up in the same visit?  I’ve had that a few times recently.  It almost feels like those areas are connected (like resetting their whole thoracic region), as opposed to completely separate primary patterns.  Wondering if anyone else has noticed?”
 
As opposed to looking at this structurally and as a dorsal spine reset, it makes more sense to me to see this as a SYMPATHETIC DOMINANT PATTERN of distortion.
 
Why we’re starting to see this pattern may indicate nervous systems moving from almost continuous fight or flee over the past 2 years to a state of nervous system exhaustion. And, while there certainly may be physical and chemical stresses at the root of this, my hypothesis is that these patterns are more likely to be a product of relentless emotional stress.
 
If this is making sense to you, whether you are seeing this in practice or not yet, jump into the conversation I had with Dr. Dan about this…

Want a more nerve system-cause oriented approach to practice?
Take action…at the very least, ask questions!

 How are you sleeping?

 How are you sleeping?
This blog post is sponsored by @AhliaYoga: Join Ahlia for her meditations and yoga practices on YouTube
Why do I ask?

Many are not getting the quantity and quality of rest that they had in the past and that they need? Dr. Dan and I discuss below the neurology behind chronic over arousal and, now, exhausted nervous systems.

Why is this important?
 
It’s important from personal, business and clinical standpoints. Are you at the top of your game? If not, this impacts your business and practice. Clinically, it brings you back to discerning the WHY and contributes to your certrainty in predicting findings.  This creates a strong communications tool and education opportunity for your practice while creating expectations. 
 
As always, being Socratic, also provides insight into the belief system of the practice member. Jump into our conversation below…
 
Here Are Recommendations And Talking Points:

Want change?
Take action…at the very least, ask questions that allow you to create a greater awareness of you, what you do and how their nervous system regulates all function!

 Journal The Journey!
This blog post is sponsored by @AhliaYoga: Join Ahlia for her meditations and yoga practices on YouTube

While Dr. Dan and I recently discussed our individual responses to and recovery from Covid, what came up in the conversation was conceptual and can be applied to a wide variety of circumstances and situations.

I’m usually quite private about many apects of my life and only after nearly complete recovery did I realize the significant benefit my experience may have on others.
 
Journaling the Journey is an outgrowth of a concept I promulgated years ago about discovering and checklisting successful actions in life, in practice, in parenting, in relationships, in finances and more. We termed these _____Works checklists.
 
Regarding covid, this could be a CovidWorks Checklist. I also encourage you to create, and I’m happy to help you, a LifeWorks Checklist, a FinancesWorks checklist, etc. In all cases, these can be translated for and utilized with practice members in their lives.
 
Here’s Our Journey:

What has your journey been? Where would you like it to take you next? Want change?
Take action!

 Changing the Lives of So Many!

 Changing the Lives of So Many!
This blog post is sponsored by @AhliaYoga: Join Ahlia for her meditations and yoga practices on YouTube

This was posted on the MC2 Forum on Facebook a couple of weeks ago and we also posted it here last week. So many people accessed it that I decided to discuss it and its context with Dan (below).

Dr. Darren wrote:
“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 Chiros in the group. You’re changing the lives of so many. Keep it up!”

Please pay attention as we discuss the impact care has on children and their family, now and for the rest of their lives. Your impact is beyond measure so do access the video below and be reminded who you are and what you do. YOU ROCK!

 Communicating How You’re Different AND Handling Contradictory Findings

 Communicating How You’re Different AND Handling Contradictory Findings
This blog post is sponsored by @AhliaYoga: Join Ahlia for her meditations and yoga practices on YouTube
Two parts this week and both are critical to your clinical and practice success.
 
Part I below was submitted to the MC2 Forum on Facebook. The question raised was, “I’m curious has anyone had a successful and brief way to communicate on the phone the differences in what you do compared to what they have 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.”

So, it comes down to, “How do you communicate what you do to prospects over the phone so that they understand the difference between MC2, Health Development and what they’ve previously experienced?

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!

Here’s Part II on Contradictory Findings: Critical to your Clinical Success!

Are your clinical skills top notch?
Do you know how to most effectively communicate today’s chiropractic?
If you want change, you must take action!

 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.

Are you walking the walk or just talking the talk?

Are you walking the walk or just talking the talk?
February 2, 2022
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.
This blog post is sponsored by @AhliaYoga: Join Ahlia for her meditations and yoga practices on YouTube

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?

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:

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.
