These are difficult times for patients who believe they might benefit from visiting a chiropractor to help with chronic or new pain. Scams and rip-offs are all over the news:
In suburban Philadelphia, a chiropractor attempted to defraud patients and insurance companies of more than $1.9 million. In Horesham, Ala., another chiropractor was caught trying to bilk customers and insurance companies out of more than $3 million. A Baton Rouge, La. chiropractic office manager was recently charged with 39 counts of theft and insurance fraud. In times like these, who’s got your back…literally?
Several months ago, I met up with a Chiropractic student who was trying to figure out where or, what he was going to do when he graduated. This guy seems to be a smart student, and I think will be a good Chiropractor. The problem that I see with this student, and with all students, is that most Chiropractors graduating today are way over educated in the medical model. Well, basically they are brainwashed in school that once they graduate, they can basically do what a medical doctor does. That's why most Chiropractors charge 2000 or 3000 for a "corrective care package". This has to be the biggest gimmick in Chiropractic today. The thing is, when you understand how Chiropractic really works, a plan of 25 or 45 adjustments and 3000 out of pocket expense is really silly. The funny thing is, that for every new patient these Chiropractors have, and it could be 20 or 30 a month, maybe only 2 or 3 could sign up for this program! Now, the problem I see is that 20 or 25 people have been turned away from not only this Chiropractors office, but ALL OF CHIROPRACTIC! This is sad to me.
The way it works is like this... Just like a diet or exercise, Chiropractic is not something you start and stop, once you get the results you want from a diet, you don't go back to eating big mac's, your now educated on the benefits from eating right, and now you have a responsibility to yourself and your body to take care of yourself. I've found that regular Chiropractic adjustments helps your body stay healthy. Most of my patients come in at least once a week to keep their spine aligned. Also, they don't have to make any appointments, they come in when they want to! Sound amazing? Well, its a different model than most Chiropractors run off of, as we have a fee system that allows you to come in for as low as $49.00 a month! So, for what one visit at most offices for one visit, you can come here all month!
So, back to my friend, and student. Apparently, since most Chiropractors are not aware of this model, and or are jealous of my office, they think what I do degrades the profession. Again, this is sad. One of these guys apparently got to my friend, and soon to be graduating student. This guys now scared to work at my office, due to the fear this Chiropractor has put in him. If our profession as a whole would adopt this model, I believe that this model could help thousands and thousands more people every year! If you would like more information, visit my website at www.lobaczchiropractic.com or if your in the Evansville area, schedule a first visit by calling 1866-365-2049.
I look forward to being your Chiropractor.
P.S. I'll update on the student, hopefully we can convert him from the medical model!

What do batteries and Chiropractic have to do with each other?
Today's topic is batteries. We have to have them to make things work. However, have you ever put the batteries in wrong? How well does that remote work? Not well right? The reason is that although the battery is in there, the chemistry is all wrong. You have to have positive going toward the positive side.
The body works the same way. We know that the body is controlled by the nervous system, and if there is a choke, or a pinch on the nervous system, how well do you think the end product, aka the heart or liver will function? Not as well right? Just like batteries, it screws up the chemistry and things don't function as well. This is the true purpose of Chiropractic. It's not really back pain, or neck pain...although a common misconception, and what most Chiropractors focus on, it's not really what Chiropractic is about. I feel that our office excels at the basics of Chiropractic. We don't add in all the therapy's or vitamins or anything like that. We practice very straight Chiropractic. We also make it very affordable to get into a routine of checking your nervous system on a regular basis.
Honestly, I can't imagine not getting adjusted. I really feel sorry for the children out there not keeping the pressure off of their nervous system. All children can benefit from getting adjusted. We see children all day in our practice. If your interested in getting adjusted, or having your children adjusted, give us a call. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
