The bulk of the Chiropractic profession utilizes a practice approach that was built on the premise that subluxations are the cause of real health problems and by correcting them, health challenges will improve or disappear.

This concept has led to most of the practice styles and practice management models in existence.

Some leaders, specifically Dr. Reggie Gold, recognized the contradiction of this approach and worked tirelessly to change it. He dedicated his entire life to creating a new model of chiropractic practice built on the simple principle that all human beings were better off not subluxated.

Based on this idea…it didn’t matter what someone’s symptom or condition was, only if there was the presence or absence of vertebral subluxations.

The concept is now recognized as Third Paradigm Chiropractic.

Today’s episode of Life By Design For Chiropractors was born from a question we repeatedly receive…

“I have an existing practice (purchased a practice) but it’s definitely not Third Paradigm. How do I transition my current practice to the Third Paradigm practice style?”

Thank you very much for all the amazing and positive feedback for The Life By Design For Chiropractors Podcast.

It’s been an overwhelming and rewarding experience as well a wonderful opportunity to share our best content with you.

That said, one of the questions we receive from time to time is “what about us?”

That “us” is women.

The challenges, struggles and difficulties that women face in chiropractic practice are unique and, since I’m not a woman, I will never fully appreciate or have direct experience in solving.

The good news is right here at Life By Design, we have an extraordinary woman!

Our guest today is Life By Design Director, Dr. Rachelle Jug.

Since the birth of her two beautiful boys Ari and Vedran, Rachelle had decided her top priority was spending as much time as possible with them.

Once Ari was 3 and Vedran 1, she began to consider stepping back in to practice.

The decision was a difficult one, but it’s turned out to be incredible!

One of the absolute best parts of my “job” is working with chiropractors to help grow themselves and in turn, grow their businesses and leave a much bigger legacy than they had ever expected.

BUT, I don’t love working with every chiropractor (no offense)…

What really gets me excited is to partner with driven, ambitious and hard working docs who are willing to put in the effort AND do the long work in order to get results. 

I’m energized every time I get off a call with a doctor who is taking full responsibility for their success and only sees me as an assistant NOT the primary cause of their outcomes (good or bad).

One of those chiropractors is Dr. Alex Ritza.

Alex had followed Life By Design For Chiropractors for a few years prior to working with our team. He consumed the free content, gathered up piles of value (and implemented what he could) until he reached the point where he knew the next step was a more intensive relationship and what he hoped would be an extremely fruitful one.

His situation is not unlike many of our listeners, and as such, I know you’ll get value from this episode of Life By Design For Chiropractors. Read More

Strategic planning for your practice is easily the most overlooked component of future practice development.

Most docs we cross paths with dream up their vision when they start practice and yet only revisit it very briefly after an annual “spizzing” at their favourite chiropractic seminar.

That’s not going to cut it… At least not if you’re serious about being successful and seeing your vision become a reality.

If you want to reach your practice goals, you must systematically determine your needs, projects and the daily action steps that will move you incrementally closer to your vision.

You need to enroll your team into the vision and assign actions that will get the most of out your A+ players.

You need to stay on course and not fall prey to the trap of busyness that is keeping you from your dream.

You need somewhere (and not a bunch of sticky notes!) to keep all of this information organized and at your fingertips.
