 E-mail message this week .. Labor Day

Labor Day acknowledges the workers of our country, so it is time that we acknowledge them as well. To help you grow your practice while helping others, best take time to analyze your community. Every cycle of life has a great need for supportive chiropractic care. From newborn to those within their golden years spinal wear and tear exists. A discussion with new mothers, teen sport directors or from agronomist to zoologists they have a tale to tell and a need for our advice and hands on care.

Your knowledge-base must meet their challenges so best begin to study ergonomics, stress management, nutrition besides your skills as a chiropractor. There is a vast world out with potential patients ready to meet you and in turn, you help them deal with their crisis and better yet proactively prevent one.

Begin by analyzing the demographics of your community. Where the material handlers are, what kind of work they do, how it affects their body and what answers you can offer to help them withstand the ravages of physical wear and tear. This is pure ergonomics, fitting the employee to their workstation.

Are you aware of office space filled with clerical employees, sitting all day in front of a computer, a drafting table or using the phone most of their working moments. They are prone to neck, upper and lower back pain, chronic headaches and all types of subluxations along the way. Think they need your advice and care, you bet.

Residential areas of town offer an array of potential workers; they may be mail carriers, the preacher and their flock, schoolteachers, municipal employees, first responders, team coaches and players as well as librarians who can offer space for a community talk. Each have areas of specific physical stress that warrant our attention.

Every town has retail space with malls, shopping strips, Mom and Pop shops etc. Depending on their wares, stocking shelves, unloading trucks and vans, deliveries and sales on their feet all day create chronic physical wear and tear. They all need our expertise, our knowledge of the human frame, our awareness of nutrition and rehabilitation and our hands on skills to adjust them back the health and wellness.

If you are looking to jump start a new practice or kick start an existing one, there is no better place to start than your community and where folks live, work and play. So begin gathering data concerning ergonomics, exercises to help reduce chronic wear and tear and be able to discuss physical stress. Once accumulated, create topical classes, either using Powerpoint presentations, handouts or whatever else will get the message out but be prepared to offer these classes meeting the needs of your community starting the day after Labor Day.

If you have questions or need a ready made ergonomic, stress management, nutrition or new patient presentation let me know and I will help

Labor Day .. workers need us to set them straight

Have a Great Day
