Ahhh the old roller coaster practice that Chiropractors love so much. I don’t understand where we went wrong in Chiropractic. It always baffles my mind how most chiropractors love to play ” the mine is bigger than yours game.” It also baffles my mind that many management companies will have their clients develop the coaches idea of an ideal practice. Creating anything but your own ideal practice can be a HUGE cause of a roller coaster practice.

I have previously been to several State Association meetings and a full Chiropractic Board meeting. The following is some of the chatter than I overheard:

How many patients do you see per week?
How long does it take you to adjust a patient?
Which codes do you find Aetna pays the most?
Medicare is going to chop again
No Fault rates haven’t risen in 7 years
The following questions were directed to me when doctors found out I was a coach:

Any suggestions on how to find good staff?
Should I raise my fees?
Any recommendations on how to get more New patients?
What do you think of President Obama’s health care reform? It is going to kill Chiropractic right?
All Chiropractic practices are down, right?
Do you think I should go all cash?
The following comments were the most heart-breaking:

I hate Chiropractic and I am leaving the profession
I can’t pay my bills
I am probably going to lose my house
I am going to learn ___ technique because I heard you can bill for ______
These insurance companies are killing my practice
You can have the life and practice that YOU dream of. Start with these simple steps:

1. Stop comparing your practice to others. How can you be sure that the Chiropractor down the street is seeing as many patients as she says? Who cares anyway?
   Develop a practice that YOU like. If you like low volume then practice low volume. If you like cash and insurance than do so. Forget what your friend or neighbor is doing. DO NOT CREATE A PRACTICE BASED ON WHAT A COACH SAYS UNLESS THAT IS THE TYPE OF PRACTICE YOU WANT!
2.  Learn efficient billing codes for procedures that were honestly performed. Don’t bill for 5 areas just because it pays more. (Integrity is what you do when nobody is looking).
3. Learn techniques to enable you to be a better clinician. Results get referrals.
4. If you are stuck, then do something to get unstuck. If you were able to do it on your own, guess what? You wouldn’t be stuck anymore
5.  Turn off the TV and read positive oriented books instead
6. If you have financial stress get some professional help in setting budgets, and improving cash flow(I just helped several clients avoid bankruptcy by helping them to re-organize their finances)
7. Invest time and money in growing yourself and your practice. (You have to spend money to make money BUT… Make sure that you get at least a 4:1 return on your investment).
8.  Never give up
9. Have written goals
