OT: Chiropractors marketing

[itseasyas1-2-3]

I’m a scientist at heart and IMO there were mistakes made on both sides of the COVID debate. Mandatory vaccination was extremely foolish just as spreading hysteria about the vaccine was wrong. Both were wrong. I said from the start that shutting down schools wasn’t supportable by the facts. There’s a CDC guy on Fox now repeating virtually the same thing I’m saying. If you’re old or immunocompromized get vaccinated. Kids don’t need it

Bad advise dingle.

I'm not a fan of chiropractors and their methods although others swear by them. My wife started seeing one regarding a recent injury. She saw improvement and was feeling better. It may have been due to her trip to the chiropractor or due to other things she tried including rest from her normal workouts. What gets me upset is that a few weeks later, my wife received a "We've been missing you" e-mail asking her where she's been. Long story short, she's back there today and more money is headed their way.

What's the deal with chiropractors these days? Is the only thing they are shooting for is temporary progress and marketing for patient retention? Shouldn't the goal be to provide a permanent fix and leave the patient alone? Or am I off base on this? Please advise!

Am a physician. Being a patient at a chiropractic clinic would earn me a rating on my disability policy. It’s the question they asked me right after whether or not I planned on going skydiving.

Had an acquaintance years ago who was a chiro student… we were friends until he wanted to talk about ‘adjusting’ one of my newborn kids for colic.

They put ‘Dr’ before their names in all of their marketing…. Just so everyone knows.

Go see a PT.

Think differently….. you mean ignore recommendations from professionals trained to evaluate and interpret medical literature?

If you “think different” than trained professionals, you might want to take an introspective look at the validity of your thought processes.

I find it very confusing that millions of people with no scientific training think they know how to interpret research papers better than the vast majority of professionals (not single individuals trying to make a name/$ for themselves on ‘faux’ social media), but you never see these same people give advice to engineers building bridges/high rises, or pilots flying the plane they are on…

People do it with teaching too. Everyone that is not a teacher knows how to teach better than teachers.

Coaching too...my god.

And that’s not to say there are not issues with every profession. Physicians, teachers, engineers—there is a need for continued quality improvement, and there are also some incompetent individuals in every profession (rarely a bridge falls or a plane crashes). But for anyone to truly believe they know more than the vast majority of specialized professionals in an area they have no training in—that’s just a complete lack of critical thinking/common sense.

It has to be a power trip type thing. Always thinking that "you" know more than everyone else in that field, even though you are not in the field.

A few years ago my wife was researching about chiropractic treatments for kids ADHD and other diagnoses. Something to to with neck adjustments. I couldn’t believe that would be even considered to be an actual treatment.

Chiroquackters. I have a friend who is a chiropractor who uses a lot of PT type techniques and I think he helps some people but there’s way too many who crack necks and backs.

So are they not Dr's then?

 

[Tetonia]

Just sayin no other specialty does that. Overcompensating for others who might employ the ‘not real doctors’ discussion…

They went to school, they earned the degree. Just think when they do that, it looks pretty lame.

Am all for education and working for the licensure to open a business for the practice of that field, just really have a problem when a ‘health care professional’ goes to some weekend C.E. course just to add some procedure they can bill patients more for. Like being offered Botox from your general physician. Or lip fillers from a dentist. Or chiros adjusting babies. Or gubmint bureaucrats telling anyone what’s good for them. Folks just need to stay in their lane…

Sorry but have to call ******** on disability insurance. Called my insurance (usaa) and asked about chiro treatments and they said it’s covered by major medical insurance. I told them what u said “after skydiving” and they said the only question they had is if I was going on a race car experience.

Dentist's do it all the time as well.

Use my hands, do surgery. They consider it a risk. Ain’t making this **** up. Mine’s thru Principal. This was going on 20y ago.
Guess they’re concerned with the potential a brachial plexus injury or something.

 

[dinglefritz]

There’s all kinds of Dr.s. The freaking principal at our high school insists on being call Dr. I’ve got a doctorate and kind of wince when somebody addresses me as Dr. All Drs are not the same in their training or expertise.

So tell me Dr. Dingle why do these people insist on that moniker? If you don't advance people's lives by improving their health either physically or mentally, then there is no doctor attached to it.

I always tell them "they're over-educated for their intelligence."

(You know I'm just giving you some friendly crap) because you and I have already talked about your reluctance to be referred to as Dr. I respect that, it's not like you wear it on your chest as a sign of "look at me."

Now, back to my ponies. Forte looks like a monster.

(Edited Sunday). OT Forte. He looks like a monster who has now ran 4 consecutive races with the same performance number. Despite a wide trip yesterday, he was all out to win. In terms of performance numbers, his 3-year-old season has the same figure as he had last year as a 2-year-old. The week of the Kentucky Derby, I will start a thread and get some comments from those who have any interest.

I‘ll likely be passing on Forte. That running style at less than 9-2…no thanks…I‘ll let him beat me. Mage ran the better race in the FD.

You and I and others can post comments when I start a thread in about 3 weeks or so. The problem is this year's crop is really weak, which (as you and I know) makes the unsophisticated horseplayers believe Forte is better than he actually may be.

I don't want to get too involved or make many comments now because I'd like to see what DNavy and the others who made a lot of comments on my horseracing thread have a chance for their input.

I'm not much of an, as you say, ("I'll let him beat me") kind of a guy. I may or may not move him down in the exotics as nothing more than a defensive play.

Oh I’m sure I’ll use him defensively. It’s such a mediocre group it seems, that I could easily see a bomb winning again this year. I doubt I’ll be that stubborn to leave him out of the bottom of some plays.

Pelini, I know exactly what you mean. Right now it looks like any one of 8 horses has the type of number that could hit the board, and that doesn't include any incoming from the Santa Anita Derby or the Wood. We shall see.

I won't be taking a really big swing in the Derby, but I might be trying to hit one in the gap.

I look forward to doing that Kentucky Derby thread the week of the Derby. I'll probably even go into the "personalities" of each of the horses and the traits they possess or lack that likely will play a part in how well or poorly they might run in that race.

When it comes to marketing for chiropractors, it's essential to implement effective strategies to attract and retain clients. Here are a few recommendations to enhance your chiropractic marketing efforts.

1. Develop a strong online presence: Create a professional website that showcases your services, provides valuable information, and allows potential clients to schedule appointments. Utilize search engine optimization (SEO) techniques to improve your website's visibility in search results.
2. Content marketing: Share informative articles, blog posts, and videos about chiropractic care on your website and social media platforms. This can help establish you as an authority in your field and attract potential clients who are seeking information and solutions.
3. Local search optimization: Optimize your online listings and profiles on platforms like Google My Business, Yelp, and local directories. Encourage satisfied clients to leave reviews, as positive feedback can significantly impact your reputation and attract new clients.

Been about three months (I think). They're on a tech site I'm active on. They use the same message board software as Rivals, but they did something to block them. Not sure why Rivals hasn't done something about it. You can tell because they pull an old dead thread and give some generic response. I'm not sure the end goal. They are probably going to get more convincing. It's kind of scary.

I decided to jump into this thread, but admittedly late. I had a doctor, good guy, weighed 300 pounds and had dandruff and if I saw him after lunch, he had food on his lab coat. This guy pushed meds like there was no tomorrow. My LDL came in at 108 and he wanted to put me on a statin. I pointed out the lab printout didn't flag LDL as a concern under 120. He gave me a condescending speech (knows I'm a car guy) about how I'm a machine, I'm a Jaguar, and we need to keep all my gauges in the green. LDL above 100 is in his opinion not in the green. Another time I had a treadmill test. I had been hiking in the Sierras with a backpack a lot that summer/fall. The treadmill had three pre-set angles/speeds. When we got to the steepest/fastest I was still not at 190 BPM so he took manual control and did the Ivan Drago number on me. By the time I got to 190, running as fast as I could on a 60 degree incline he said my blood pressure was high and I needed to get some kind of medication. I didn't think that test was fair. I have all the respect in the world for that doctor and know he is trained to interpret the latest medical literature. However, I'm an engineer and can read and made my own decision about having my gauges in the green vice being on meds for the rest of my life. I chose not to take his opinion about the meds, he is a trained professional, not God.

Should have gotten True Own Occ.

Edit: there may be time for you to get a policy or numbers.
From experience, racing can affect medical underwriting. But, it is up to the company you apply for

My guess is that this doctor is probably treated to lunch often by a pharmaceutical rep who is a total smoke show.

One of the guys in my ski gang is a chiropractor. Before getting to know him, I was not a fan of his profession. He's been great to all of us. He is big on us using ice 20 minutes on 40 minutes off and always repeating the procedure at least once for treatment of our minor aches and pains. I get a pain in my upper right shoulder and neck area. It feels like someone is stabbing me there with a long knife and it really hurts. It has happened off and on my whole adult life. Several years ago my personal doc had me going to a physical therapist for treatment. It felt ok while they were working on it but never really got the pain to go away completely. I gave my chiropractor friend a chance. In 5 minutes, he fixed what the physical therapist could not do in weeks of treatment. It has reoccurred a couple of times since. I just run over to his office and in just minutes he has me feeling great again. He has never had me go to him for any follow-up treatments.

[c3o]

Doctors prescribe pills
Surgeons perform surgery
Chiropractors crack backs

Each are trained to think their method works

However, you need to find the root cause for your ailment which is tough sometimes. As others have mentioned, your body is very resilient - it can heal itself in most instances

Sometimes you need medicine or surgery or even an adjustment

Also, your chiropractor is a business, so acting surprised they want your money isn’t too wise. Hopefully the Dr there is really trying to help, as well

No kidding- I was at my PCP two months ago for my yearly and this blonde smoke show came in with a big case , said hello, went to the back central area. Watching her interact with my doc was eye opening to say the least….. needless to say I was glad he didn’t prescribe anything for me but I couldn’t blame him if he wanted to dump pills on me if that was her big pharma company.
