I’ve been overseas this past week, speaking at the UCA conference in England and visiting chiropractors in Spain.  And between my travels and coaching chiropractors all around the world, I’ve observed a distinction that needs to made clear about the answer to this question, “Can chiropractic help”?  It is a question that no matter where you practice, it  seems to be an important question; one that is dangerous if not answered well.

When a person asks this question, they want to know if chiropractic can help their specific symptom.  If we say “yes”, chiropractic now becomes a mechanistic and allopathic natural “treatment” for their problem. This is a lose-lose scenario.  If it gets better and they disappear satisfied, they never get to experience what wellness chiropractic can do for them.  If it doesen’t get better, they disappear frustrated that chiropractic didn’t work. And they tell 100 of their friends just that.

If we say “no”, they are more than likely to turn their back on chiropractic care (no pun intended), because it’s not what they are looking for.  Again a lose-lose scenario.

If we tell them that chiropractors don’t care about symptoms and only want to correct subluxations, the person doesn’t feel like their needs are getting met. Yet another lose-lose scenario.

So what is the answer to the question?

It is our job to connect the dots so that people understand that their symptom could very well be related to a vertebral subluxation.  The good news is, if they have a subluxation, then we can help!  It is also our job to help them understand the bigger picture of a subluxation, how it relates to symptoms but more importantly how their lifestyle stress creates subluxations over and over again. And slowly, teach them under the radar, and stretch their consciousness to the big picture of chiropractic! Truly a win-win scenario.

If we are going to have a TRUE wellness practice, we must answer this question in a congruent way.  At Rosen Coaching, both Dr. Russ Rosen and Dr.Angie Meyer work with chiropractors on the foundation of their certainty, beliefs, philosophy and communication to do so!
