Subluxation Happens First

As Doctors of Cause, we can’t just be focused on finding “all the things” that cause kids to get subluxated, sick, and stressed — we need to actually take it one step further.

We also need to be obsessed with learning and knowing the exact order or ‘sequence’ with which they got sick. And once a Pediatric & Family Chiropractor is really tuned in to the importance of this crucial, granular piece of clinical information, you’ll find it exactly this way in 90% or more of your pediatric cases today — subluxation happens first.

Before they are exposed to toxins (inhaled, ingested, or injected) and things like dairy, grains, and food dyes — they are subluxated.

Before they are exposed to mental and emotional stress (hello the last two awful years for this) — they are subluxated.

No child will get to live a life free of physical, chemical, and emotional stress (3Ts). But it’s not exposed to these stressors that make a child sick — it’s their inability to adapt and overcome them.

Impact Is Better When It's Made Together

For the last few weeks, our team has been working on a very special project that is very near dear to my heart. 💙
 
As part of the preparation for this project, I had the opportunity to connect more deeply with some of the most incredible teams that we have in PX.
 
We asked them for their feedback on what they feel their teams have learned in PX, what the direct impact has been in their practices/communities and what level of value they felt had been created by having their team participating in our program.
 
I was completely blown away!
 
As a Perfect Storm Mom and Chiropractic Evangelist, I always struggled with the concept of chiropractors as solopreneurs. I’ve experienced firsthand just how much Impact a Care Advocate can make on a patient's experience and even more importantly, how they can help to change someone's life. 🙏 I’ve also experienced how incredibly well-rounded and invaluable having a DOC TEAM can be for the depth of a patient's results.
 
No Hope Dealing,...

Find it, Care plan for it, Adjust it, Repeat!

 

We can never stop with the message of Neuro-development and milestones!

There is no better way to enter the conversation with mom 👩‍👦‍👦 about their child’s struggles. Milestones are truly a bridge to take a parent from symptoms to bodily systems all the way to the Nervous System 🧠 .

Symptoms tell us system struggles so never shy away from getting mom to tell her kiddo's story! As hope dealers, it gives us clues!

Above is a whiteboard video recorded a while ago tying together the CDC milestones changes with crawling and how that motor milestone ties into the digestive 💩 and the immune systems 🦠.

We used it to invite parents to our Raising Healthy Kids, Naturally workshop!

And...this is also EXACTLY what we dove into clinically on today's PX Clinical Excellence Call...helping us find the CAUSE and PHASE in development where the subluxation took place! So we can...

What's Working Now: The "Whiteboard Wednesday" Strategy

 

👇 Read first, then check out the video☝️

 

Who likes doing Facebook live videos? 😳….🦗🦗🦗

I’d be willing to bet that almost all of us on Peds today would prioritize a tough progress report w/ a dad whose a pediatrician over a Video recording of ourselves…ok that may be too far.

But even if you feel more comfortable in an insta Reel dancing 🕺🤭 than a live video, here’s the call to action for today…

Do long-form “whiteboard” videos (Facebook lives, Instagram TV, and blogs) because you never know who is watching!

Here’s my “Case Study 📖” on it!

The goal: 5-6 months back we committed, as an office, to create more educating and entertaining content (edu-taiment) to share our pediatric brand, culture, and excitement! AND along with the FUN 🤩 we committed to ONE whiteboard, longer form (5-10 mins) live video each week to drop in the middle of it.

The results: Overall WAY more viewership of our Instagram content (due to the reels, fun, culture) AND way MORE viewers of our longer-form Edu...

3 Ways To Know If You Really Are a Neurologically-Focused Chiropractor

3 Ways To Know If You Really Are a Neurologically-Focused Chiropractor

  1. Is Your Exam Entirely Focused on Measuring Function (or lack thereof, subluxation) of the Central & Autonomic Nervous System 🧠 ?
  2. Do You Care Plan 🔢 Entirely Based Off of Measurements of Autonomic Function (ie. scans, NOT symptoms)?
  3. Do You Use a Neuro-Tonal Model of Adjusting 🙌 Every Single Visit (ie. not simply adjust segmentally, structurally, etc.)

This 'Move the Needle' 📈 post is entirely inspired by something we are consciously and very actively leading not just in the profession, but flat out online and in health care as a whole -- the explosion 🚀 of awareness and action towards the vital importance of the Brain 🧠 and Autonomic Nervous System, Vagus Nerve 💥 , Neuroplasticity, Neurodevelopment (Perfect Storm 🌪 work), etc!

It's absolutely imperative that our profession lead this movement both within health care, and more importantly - within the "market place" (aka, take it straight to moms like we are w...

The Truth Behind Building and Growing a Pediatric-Focused Practice

Building and growing a pediatric-focused practice is far more difficult initially than building a pain-based practice. Key 🔑 word there — initially.

95% of chiro school curriculums and 95% of coaching and management systems know the pain-based, insurance-dependent model only.

Combine that with the unfortunate reality that for now, 95% of the population thinks of chiropractors primarily for back and neck pain as well, and we’ve got quite the conundrum if we want to really serve kids and build an actual family practice one day!

That’s why so many get stuck in the pain-based practice model — it’s easy.

The Peds-First model we train our tribe on inside The Pediatric Experience Membership and Live Seminars requires a lot of work upfront.

  • Your certainty 💪 needs to be an 11 out of 10
  • Your communication skills need to be an 11 out of 10, using empathy ❤️, trust, and science 🧠 instead of scripts and sales
  • Your clinical results must truly be at ‘Expect Miracles’ level, able to slay su

The 3 Chiropractic Practice Models of Today 🦴 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 👶 (Choose Wisely)

 

This 20-minute "Chiro TED Talk" style video could be one of the most important ones you watch in your entire career! And for students and start ups, it could be the most pivotal EARLY awareness and "Oh snap that's so true!" understanding you ever get... and put you on the right course for you future practice right out of the gates! 

Let's break down each one in some more detail here: 

Practice Model #1 - Back, Neck, Spinal 🦴, Pain, & Insurance-Dependent Practice. 

Every bit of our standard training prepares us to put on the white coat 🥼 with our name "Dr. Back Pain" stitched on it, and along with "spinal manipulations" you are supposed to rock rehab, massage, PT, traction, and a whole host of other "spine stretching" therapies to help you alleviate their pain in 8-12 visits or less, rack up the insurance 🧾 bill, and send them on their way! 

This Spinal 🦴 Doctor Model brings with it

  1. Extremely hard to market and stand out 📢 , meaning you're usually stuck with spinal screenings,

3 Must Have Elements For The Family Chiropractic Practice of the Future!

 

 

Starting out, major props and gratitude for my dear friend and mentor Dr. David Fletcher for really sharing the overview of this concept with me, and especially pushing hard for myself and this profession on the 2nd critical element to this ‘Chiropractic 3.0 Model’ — the NEURO-first and NEURO-focused practice model. 

We were co-presenting on the Life Vision stage in Montreal many years ago when he started discussing this, and I immediately turned from teacher to student and absorbed every single bit of this message. 

Then I did what God has always called me to do — I dug in deeper and expanded upon it to incorporate the thing I know better than anything else on the 🌎, Pediatric Chiropractic. 

Looking 👀 Back

I wasn’t there obviously, but I gotta imagine the earliest days of chiropractic will forever be our most badass days. Not only did they literally create and promote a brand new healing art, but they also did it with absolute tenacity and style. 

They lived in a mansion on to...
