1:08 pm	Why do you need to see a Chiropractor Dr. Kristy and Dr. Shoshana are the co-founders/co-owners of Live Well Chiropractic, PC of Atlanta, Georgia. Since opening their doors in 1999,they have been serving the city of Atlanta. Nearly 100,000 adjustments later Live Well has evolved into Atlanta's hub for thriving, healing, on the go, health conscious individuals. We realized shortly after meeting almost 12 years ago in chiropractic school that we shared the same philosophy and vision for chiropractic. Eventually, together we decided to develop and share that vision with others in creating Live Well - A place where people come together to honor their bodies by restoring it from the inside out with specific, corrective, healing adjustments. Why do you need to see a Chiropractor When one or more of the bones of your spine move out of position and create pressure on, or irritate spinal nerves, also know as sublaxation. Spinal nerves are the nerves that come out from between each of the bones in your spine. This pressure or irritation on the nerves then causes those nerves to malfunction and interfere with the signals traveling over those nerves. How does this affect you Your nervous system controls and coordinates all the functions of your body. If you interfere with the signals traveling over nerves, parts of your body will not get the proper nerve messages and will not be able to function at 100% of their innate abilities. In other words, some part of your body will not be working properly it is the responsibility of the healing Chiropractor to locate subluxations, and reduce or correct them. This is done through a series of chiropractic adjustments specifically designed to correct the vertebral subluxations in your spine. Chiropractors are the only professionals who undergo years of training to be the experts at correcting subluxations. Office Hours are Tuesday thru Friday 9 A.M. - 1 P.M. and 3 P.M. - 7 P.M.

8:52 am	Whats Your Chiropractic Marketing Plan B According the the Associated Press (AP), over 500,000 jobs were lost in November of 2008. This proves what myself and others have been saying for the longest time. "Security is an illusion and there's certainly no security in a job!" Chiropractors are feeling the financial crunch more than ever as potential new patients are holding back and have their priorities in a different order at the moment. Since many have lost there jobs, they've lost the insurance coverage along with them. The tendency that I've seen has been for DC's to cut down on their chiropractic marketing in lieu of this economic meltdown. In fact, they should be doing the opposite. I wanted to share a few tips in this particular article that have allowed myself and my chiropractic marketing students to continue prosper in these times of uncertainty. It's about becoming more creative and innovative in markets like we face today. Those chiropractors that adapt to the ever-changing economy will thrive while others close their doors for good. Let's get something straight right now. You do NOT have to be a victim of what's going on externally by any means. The first strategy I want to share with chiropractors to begin collecting patients emails as they walk through the door. This is very simple but can be very powerful. There should be a spot on your entrance form for a new patient to fill this information in. Why, you may ask Well, email is a free and effective medium to connect with your highly targeted audience. If you amass a list in the hundreds and even thousands, you can easily communicate with them whenever you want. This is especially important if you'd like to do a reactivation campaign, patient appreciation day, or referral based program. It's hard to beat the simplicity of being able to keep in touch with patients via the click of a mouse. It would be a good idea to also send periodic health newsletters to provide value to your subscribers and to instill top-of-the-mind awareness. The second strategy, which ties in with the first, is that you want to have an autoresponder. To clarify, this is an automated follow-up up system that puts your email marketing on autopilot in a sense. These are timed emails that go out when you want them to. Just to give you an example, say you write 7 emails as follow-ups or health newsletters for different patients. You can store them in the auto-responder service and they can go out every so many days depending on how you set them. This is a massive time-saver and can literally transform your business in weeks! Your website page should have a sign-up or opt-in form which collects visitors names and emails. Of course, these are highly-specific leads that are surfing the net and have found your page chiropractic marketing. At the very least you need to get their contact information so they can be put into an autoresponder for potential new patients. Over time, they will receive pre-scripted communications from you that ultimately lead them into your office. Make sure that you provide a great deal of practical and use value when people are on your list. That's why I suggest having a health newsletter or one tailored for your specific type of chiropractic marketing and practice. Implementing the tactics I just shared with you can boost your chiropractic marketing and practice significantly. It's important to place yourself in a position to leverage your time, energy, and efforts. This type of automated business tool does just that. Be careful of what service you go with, though. There are a couple of big names that come to mind but it's important for you to perform your own "due diligence" on this topic. Continued success! Current Mood: thankful (Comment on this)

8:01 am	Irvine Chiropractor Clinic Centers Treat Accident Related Chronic Pain Injuries occur at times in a person's life that requires immediate attention. Sometimes this is the result of an automobile collision with the first treatment response by a medical doctor. Unfortunately, sometimes this does not result in treatment sufficient to relieve the pain of the injury. When no relief for the pain is apparent, it may be time to seek other options. This includes chiropractor care by a group such as Irvine chiropractor treatment Center. The survival instinct of humans is extremely strong. Not only do we stiffen and brace ourselves when confronted with an unexpected event, such as a trip or fall, but the power of this instinct increases with the danger the situation. This is especially so in a collision. This instinct to stiffen, or brace ourselves, is perhaps one of the worst things a person can do during the event. This is because the impact causes stressors on the body that are exacerbated when the body becomes stiff. Modern cars have airbags that explode at the time of impact. While these airbags are known to save lives, sometimes they cause injuries. As with any impact on the body, getting hit with so much force can result in pain which may not be noticed at first due to the shock of the accident. Whiplash is a common result of an accident. The force of the head being jerked causes an intense back pain. Often other pain appears in the back and hips due to being wrenched from side-to-side. On occasion, these pains may not appear until the next day. At the emergency room the initial treatment traditionally involves pain killers, as well as muscle relaxers chiropractic marketing plan. Although this will take the edge off, the damage is left untreated in the hope that the body will be able to repair itself. However, there are times when the body needs help in order to prevent long-term damage. For those who have never considered a visit to a chiropractor, a feeling of trepidation may be present. This is very common due to the fact that there is always concern about further injury, as well as pain. It's often comforting to note, however, that they are licensed practitioners who specialize in body structure, muscle groups, and the internal functioning of the body. They also focus on the interaction of these workings. For instance, if the center back goes out of alignment it often results in chest pain which resembles the heart pains felt during a heart attack chiropractor marketing tools. As with any procedure regarding the body structure, chiropractors will require an extensive account of a patient's medical history, the cause and location of the pain, and what has been done thus far for relief. With this information Chiropractor treatments will begin. These treatments can consist of many things, such as manipulation of the bones and muscles, heat and cold packs, and more. Treatment by a chiropractor should not be feared, as procedures will be carefully followed to instill confidence while relieving the pain. Current Mood: jubilant (Comment on this)
