Are You Telling The Truth?

I have polled Chiropractors on how often they like to get adjusted. Ninety five percent of all Chiropractors would like to get adjusted at least once a week for the rest of their lives. However the same poll would reveal that only 5 percent have ever recommended once a week for lifetime to any of their patients. This is a double standard of care that has been going on for decades.

Dear Colleagues and Friends,
as I travel around the world I have polled Chiropractors on how often they like to get adjusted. Ninety five percent of all Chiropractors would like to get adjusted at least once a week for the rest of their lives. However the same poll would reveal that only 5 percent have ever recommended once a week for lifetime to any of their patients. This is a double standard of care that has been going on for decades.

Chiropractors believe that they get their care for free, that is why they do not prescribe weekly lifetime care for patients, who would have to pay for their life time care. This is a fear of rejection about money. The average graduate today owes about $120,000 in student loans. This means that he or she is paying $120,000 in advance to get adjusted for free the rest of their life. How many patients would you accept prepaid at $120,000 for lifetime care?

Most Chiropractors would accept a lifetime patient for $20,000 paid in advance, which is one sixth the price that the Chiropractor paid for lifetime care. The moral of the story is, we have to start telling the truth and keep telling the truth consistently. No doctor should decide how much of the truth a patient deserves to hear. It is immoral for the doctor to decide that how the patient dresses, the car they drive, or the job they have determines how much health care they deserve.

You tell the whole truth of why all Chiropractors want to get adjusted every week for the rest of their lives and you let the patient decide how much health care they want. That could mean they don’t want any at all, but you let them decide based on education of the truth.

Another part of the truth is finances. When you go to an Orthodontist or a Gym you know exactly what long term care is going to cost. That is why the third day Financial Report is so important. You have to educate the patient on how to afford the life changing health care you have taught them about the past two visits.

Remember that back or neck surgery is costing about $30,000 to $75,000 with rehabilitation. So $2,500 to $4,000 for one year of Chiropractic care is minimal, especially when you compare the benefits and side effects. As promised I have attached the Financial Script for day 3. I have also attached an example of some things that should be in your Financial document. Some states supposedly have made it illegal to sell one year of Chiropractic care, then they should make all orthodontists sell only one visit at a time also.

Also, those of you that are like me and want to see this performed “live” by me on video and audio, contact Dr. Ray Nannis at 972-671-2225. Tell his staff you want the 3 Day Report of Findings Tape set. The video/audio tape set can be purchase for $95.00 and most think it is worth $995.00 or your money back. We have hundred’s of these tapes being used around the world and most report that their practices have doubled or tripled.

Just watch the Video tape twice within a week and listen to the audio tape ten times within thirty days. We use this money to help fund our Hotel bill for the SOCM Dallas Chapter where we meet every Monday. Hope to see you in Chicago on May 3, 2001.
