The Old Conversation
The vast majority of new patients turn to chiropractic because they are in pain. You
welcome them in your office. You explain how stress can cause nerve interference. You
try to educate them on how nerve interference can have far reaching effects on their health.
You might even use the 'S' word: subluxation.
While this concept is likely new and a bit strange for them to accept, they are in pain...
so they are willing to give chiropractic a try.
Depending on your technique and the equipment you have in your office, you might take x-rays,
thermal readings, surface EMG, ROM. Yet even if you have the most accurate equipment ever invented
to show your patient their misaligned vertebrae or their paraspinal muscle imbalance or temperature
asymmetries, what does it really communicate to them as it relates to their nervous system? Not much.
Even though you talk 'Nervous system'... even though you stress the importance of the 'Nervous System'...
most chiropractors are unable to bridge the gap between the pain that brought the patient through the
door... and their nervous system. Ultimately, all they have to go on is their pain... and your word.
Pain relief is no small accomplishment. It can be worth a lot to someone who is experiencing it. But
if that is where your care ends, you may be missing out on some of your patients... and your patients
may be missing out on some of their health.
Imagine how things might be different if rather than trying to convince patients that chiropractic
works, you were able to show them that it does?
