Dr. Rosen and I had the honour of speaking a few weeks ago at the UAC (Ultimate Achiever’s Club), founded by Dr. Patrick Gentempo. These are the most visionary, heart-centred and ‘wild’ chiropractors we have ever had the privilege of speaking to!

I am inspired by this group, in many ways, in which I hope to summarize (yet not oversimplify) here.  Despite each chiropractor in this group coming from a different part of North America, with different techniques and backgrounds, there were three common denominators that I observed:

1.Big Vision & Purpose ~ First and foremost, each chiropractor had a vision of what they wanted to achieve. Not just padding their bank accounts, but truly serving and bettering humanity.  Their purpose of why they do what they was very strong and guided their actions.

2. High Executors ~ When people ask me why some chiropractors are successful, and others are not… taking action is the answer.  It’s simple, but not easy.  Knowing your vision and purpose has to come first, but taking consistent action, literally doing what you say you will do, is the largest factor in success. Each person sitting in that room was a success because they took action (and continue to do so) to create the practices of their dreams.

3. Blur lines of work and play ~ Having fun at what they do, blurring the lines of work and play are essential to keep their energy high.  A Ferrari going with the pedal down to the floor will eventually burn out, and so will you!  These chiropractors understood this, and they know how to work hard, and to play hard. And they don’t need to be exclusive of one another!  How much fun can you have in your office?

Both Dr. Rosen and I are honoured to have been able to spend time with and share our insights to this group.  We know that these folks are on the path to help us achieve our mission, having chiropractors be the recognized leaders of True Health Care worldwide!

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!
