Real Chiropractic Dynamics

Dr Cecchi is a chiropractor practicing in Torino, Italy. “my 22 plus years of experience having taken at least 200 Seminars and having seen about 200 patients a week. I had the honor and the pleasure to spend 4 years in Dr. Thatcher's clinic where I first observed and then learned with him moving my hands to acquire the necessary skills to start helping people get better. The following 5 years I was able to discuss my difficult cases with him going over x‐ rays and taking notes of all his advices. I continued my refinement of the Gonstead method with Dr. Pennebaker (with whom I became a very close and personal friend) following the passing of Dr. Thatcher. With more than 22 years in Gonstead practice I feel I am ready to start giving back.”Dr. Andrea Cecchi—Gonstead DiplomateStudio Cecchi Chiropratici Associati A & K Srl Corso Rosselli 182, 10141Torino, Italy chirocecchi@yahoo.it

Me and my uncle Stew chat about some current affairs

My last interview with Travis, 'Sh!t Chiropractors Say'  got some great feedback so last time I was in the Netherlands we caught up with the sequel where we will proceed to roast the other side of the profession #equality​ Here is a link to the prequel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_np5WrMWdQg&t=3189s

Jenna Kuiken has a congenital malformation of the hand, this has not stopped her from becoming a proficient Gonstead adjuster. She is a great example to all of the petite women who are nervous about adjusting manually because she has overcome even bigger challenges. The main theme of the interview is that you may have to train that bit harder and modify your adjusting but you can still get the job done as long as you have the right mindset.

Chiropractic and immunity is a hot topic at the moment.What can we say that communicates the message whilst being evidence informed? In this chat, Dr Mo shares her stance on how we can refine our communication to say what we want to say whilst keeping ourselves safe and being able to back up the claims we make. Dr Mo Knows Science & Communication Programwww.drmoknows.comThe Prana Foundation www.thepranafoundation.orgDr Mo's website to learn more or book www.drmoniqueandrews.com

Many students have questions about the advantages and disadvantages of being a locum, an associate or starting your own practice straight out of school.  I gathered some questions that students had and asked three of my friends with experience in these roles to answer them.   The chiropractors in this Q&A are @aleconte_@audrey_jnn@samuelhiggsdcTo respect your time, here are some time stamps to the specific questions I asked them. (12:50) why did you choose this route rather than another one?(23:45) What were the challenges you faced that maybe you did not expect?(27:37) What advice would you give to your past self on graduation day?(33:11) How many hours were you expected to work during the week? (37:45) Do you feel you were compensated well financially in this time? (41:20) Do you consider that you are serving your personal purpose? (47:31) What do you wish you spent more time on in school?(49:32) How can we improve our communication during school?(53:21) What were the start up costs to open a practice and how did you finance it? (56:52) Start off small and build or open the practice as you envision it straight away? (58:25) How did you negotiate salary?(1:2:47) What are you glad you did in school that made it easier for you as a graduate

As long as there have been chiropractors, there have been differing opinions on how chiropractic should be practiced.  While this wasn't really the start of mechanism, understanding how the insurance model originally entered the scene is interesting to see how we got into the situation we are in today.  Here Danny and I play a clip from the legend Dick Santo and then discuss it in more detail. I also ask if the pain model is something you can advertise in order to ‘meet the patient where they are at' before educating them once they are in the office.

In this video I read the script of Sigafoose's X-Ray report, take what you like from it and implement into your visits.  I love how direct he is and not afraid of confrontation.  At the end of the video there is also a special offer from Carey Sigafoose to help you with the quarantine.  • Go to www.Sigafoose.com and check out the store.• Find whatever product it is you want.• Go to www.PayPal. com and send whatever it is you can afford to pay, to ChiroSig@yahoo.com in USA; and in Europe, send it to ChiroSig@gmail.com.

In this video, I ask Aaron his thoughts on the kind of patients we attract into our student clinic or our practices. then we talk a little on how to keep your ego in check in those times when the amazing results are coming in.   Aaron is 50% of the Syntropy Chiropractic Training partnership alongside Pat McMahon.  Check out their upcoming seminars here and I hope to train with you there!https://syntropychirotraining.com/#ro...

In this quick video, we discuss how the peaks and troughs in skillset are part of the journey to becoming a great chiropractor, also Danny shares his experiences of adjusting under pressure. I am sure every student experiences these thoughts and so this is a great discussion between mentor and mentee which might help you manage your thought process when this happens.

The story of the BCC is an inspiring one, in this video I sit down with one of the OG gangsters responsible for the formation of what I believe to be the best chiropractic college in Europe. Dr Boyce Kinnison is still an active member of the board of governors within the BCC.  Here he shares the story of why BCC was first thought of and the challenges and crazy stories that came as it gained momentum and grew.

I have known Destiny Krogsgaard for a few years now.  She is the perfect example of how when you decide to leave your comfort zone and you surround yourself with the right people who believe in the power chiropractic that your clinical outcomes, fun in practice and the longevity of your career can all thrive.

I have been following Dr. Matthew Loop since before I even enrolled in college, whenever I was working as a CA.  So of course when I saw him at 'The science of subluxation' seminar in Portugal I fan-girl'd a little and then invited him on to do an episode.  Matthew is arguably the best social media strategist we have in the profession and gives a tonne of value in this talk.  Here we talk about various forms of social media, which ones are useful and which ones are worth still paying attention to, why a strategy is needed to really take advantage of the opportunity social media gives us in practice and how Matthew can help with that.  Instagram @rcdzarak @matthewloopMatthews facebook fan page https://www.facebook.com/MatthewJLoop/Matthews book -  "Social Media Made Me Rich" http://SocialMediaMadeMeRich.com/To consult with Matthew http://dcincome.com/blog/consulting-s...

This video was recorded at the 'Science of Subluxation' seminar in Lisbon, Portugal.  Stina is a German chiropractor with an interesting story.  In this episode she shares how the ChiroEurope community and her support network of women in the 'Circle of fire' group were instrumental in getting her to where she is.  Stina has a very authentic personality, she is warm but in true German fashion she is direct and to the point.

This week I sat down with the founder of the modern training movement in the profession. Ok the camera set-up could be better, but the points discussed might just give you the kick up the ass that you need to get back on track.

This episode is actually the first one I ever recorded. In this thought provoking conversation Auntie Pam and I discuss how the chiropractic "right of passage" we must all go through is similar to that of a stand up comic. How do we crush limiting beliefs in order to better help our people? Finally we touch on how the profession is marketing itself (for better or worse).   Visit her website https://chirobloom.com which reads "A few of us are also gifted business people. Most of us need a lot of help to figure out how to launch our genius in our communities. We need clear intentions, support, tools and the willingness to take massive and consistent action.  I believe that you should not have to pay thousands to grow your practice and support your family. I believe that you deserve all the success and freedom you desire. I value your relationship with your family and think that should not be compromised. I want to empower chiropractors to be bolder than they have ever been for in reaching for their excellence in practice and in life."

Amy is a steward of BGI Europe trained by Sue Brown.  She opened my eyes to the tonal approach to chiropractic in a way that I could understand.  Check out her upcoming seminars at https://bgieuropeseminars.com

Danny is a mentor of mine who practises chiropractic in San Sebastian, Spain.  Arno Burnier the founder of MLS seminars entrusted Danny to oversee the European operations of this well known chiropractic training seminar when he retired.  In this conversation, we discuss Danny's evolution from participant to facilitator to coach at MLS. Please feel free to join the MLS members lounge on Facebook to see the upcoming seminars and get involved with the other participants!  For optimal listening, I would recommend headphones.
