Any Chriopractors out there?

Question

Who have started their own practice? what would your advice be?

Answer 1

I'm not a Chiropractor.

I would start looking for any assosiations, groups, and clubs in your area (relateing to chiropractics, don't bother doctors... some do not believe in anything but themselves).

Do you already have your Degree/Liscence?

If not, do research for Reviews on schools and make sure places are Acredited (otherwise they mean NOTHING and might teach you some bad techniques).

When you are a practiceing Chiropractor, you will probably have techniques you prefer. You will want to make a bond/friendship/arrangement with Chiropractors that have preference for other techniques,.. What this does is then you can refer patients to the other chiropractors that prefer their techniques and those others can refer patients to you that prefer your techniques. This also turns into a helpful circle where you can substitute for each other some times or redirect current patients to each other temporily when you take vacations or have an emergency.

Trust me, us patients are fine and if we don't like the Subs techniques it will make us feel better that YOUR our Chiropractor. It also opens up for patients to switch so you might get more patients out of it.

You may also want to get into contact with Physical Theroypist and... oh there are so many names for people that Massage. Some times patients need one of those or both of those or ask for references to those. I had a very good chiropractor and one of the things that she had arranged is every so often people would come in and give free massages to patients after treatment (atleast the patients had an option of useing them).

Some Chiropractors also have (I can not think of the correct name at the moment) back surgents they perfer and refer people to.

Answer 2

definutly do it, if you have a good practice and build up the right thing, you'll be fine... :-) good luck
