Some people HATE Walmart...
Some people just don’t like Walmart. But, LOTS of people obviously DO like Walmart. In fact, in less than 50 years Walmart has become the largest corporation in the world.
Walmart is the world’s largest corporation for one reason, value. Sam Walton’s little business became a BIG business because their prices were just a shade lower than their competition’s. As a result, the average American family shops at Walmart EVERY week for the typical stuff you could buy at any grocery store or hardware store or clothing store. Granted, no one goes to Walmart for specialty items or designer clothing.
While the typical prejudice is that Walmart serves only low-income families, actual research shows that the retailer has a growing high-income clientele that shops there for their store brand items for even greater savings. In other words, intelligent, informed consumers shop there to save money on items they purchase on a routine basis where name brands are not necessary and the saving sis appreciated.
Which brings me The Membership Practice, a concept in chiropractic that provides individuals and families with access to chiropractic care at affordable fees without the need for insurance. In fact The Membership Practice model offers unlimited chiropractic care at a low monthly fee deducted from your credit/debit card. The business model is based on long-term maintenance and wellness care. The assumption is that the average user of wellness-based chiropractic care will get checked an average of once a week. At Lobacz Chiropractic Office (in Evansville, IN) the monthly fee is as low as $49 for an individual and $119 for an entire family.
While some practitioners complain that the fees are too low and cheapen the profession’s image. My response is “baloney!”. The concept actually enables chiropractors to help more people get the regular care that helps families stay healthy and out of the doctor’s office. Fewer trips to the doctor’s office means money saved that can go to other needs the family may have like vacation, retirement, braces, etc. Just like Walmart’s new slogan ““Saving people money so they can live better lives”, The Membership Practice aims to lower the barriers to families having affordable access to routine chiropractic care anywhere in the United States.
Heck, I can even see The Membership Practice in all 6000 or so Walmart stores across America! What a great deal for Walmart, chiropractors and the public. Imagine getting the family adjusted once a week when they go to Walmart or 500-1000 new customers going shopping at Walmart when they go for their weekly adjustments. Imagine 12-15,000 fully employed chiropractors earning a god living as they adjust hundreds or thousands of folks each week. And, imagine the money and lives saved because of the number of Americans taking fewer drugs and making fewer visits to the doctor’s office because of their new-found health.
The vision of The membership Practice is that every man, woman and child in America has access to quality, affordable chiropractic care. Insurance is hardly affordable for chiropractic care these days. IF the average American is to have ready access to regular chiropractic care, it is imperative that the profession find ways to make it available. And honestly, I’ve always believed the free market is where the solution to rising health care costs would be found.
Look for The Membership Practice near you. If you don’t have one, let me know. I’ll help you find one. And, maybe one day you’ll even find them in your local Walmart store.

What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic has the reputation of being able to help people with neck pain, back pain, and headaches, but did you know there are a wealth of other things that Chiropractic can help with?
* ADHD
* Allergies
* Asthma
* Auto Accidents Injuries
* Bedwetting
* Carpal Tunnel
* Colds
* Depression
* Fibromyalgia
* Flu
* High Blood Pressure
* Migraines
* Numbness and Tingling
* Pinched Nerves
* PMS and Painful Periods
* Pregnancy
* Sciatica
* Scoliosis
* Slipped/Bulging/Herniated Discs
* Sprains/Strains
* Stress
* Whiplash
* Wellness
* Anything and everything not listed here!
Am I, as a Principled Chiropractor, like any MD, Surgeon, or any other type of medical practitioner you’ve been to previously? NO, I am not. These guys work from the outside in. They either give you a pill or cut something out that’s not working. My belief is that God gave you all the parts you’ll ever need, and He didn’t give you any expendable parts. Now does that mean MDs and Surgeons are bad people? NO, it just means that I, as a Principled Chiropractor, have a different philosophy than they do.
Chiropractic is different than other health disciplines mainly because we look for the cause of the disease or symptoms from the inside out. We look for the reasons your body isn’t working right, the reasons you have pain, discomfort and sickness that you’ve come here with. Rather than trying to “hide” the sickness or pain by giving you a drug to cover it up or suppress the symptoms, we’re going to look into the body to find out what is causing this irritation and see why the body isn’t functioning properly.
When a bone in the spine becomes misaligned, causing the nerve to be choked, Chiropractors term this Subluxation. When a nerve is being choked as it exits the spinal column, it causes the life force, or your body’s intelligence, to be greatly decreased. It’s like shutting off the electricity to whatever this nerve goes to.
The pain or dysfunction you’re experiencing could be the result of one or more of your nerves being pinched. If it is, there is more going on than you realize. Organ damage and abnormal cell growth are also at work, and it’s this process that causes the symptoms you’re experiencing.
This has built up over time, causing symptoms, and most of the time the symptom is the first thing you’ll notice, but an entire process has occurred before you even realized anything was wrong. This being said, the symptoms are usually the last thing to show up, and the first thing to go away. It’s a good thing our bodies are designed to have symptoms like pain because without them you’d never know when something is wrong. Wouldn’t it be foolish to cover them up?
It’s not that I don’t care about your back pain or headaches, but I want you to know there’s a bigger picture here. I want to maintain your spine through regular adjustments to prevent pinched nerves, ill health, and damage to your body that could be occurring right under your nose without you even knowing.
Most people come into a Chiropractic office with the intent to get rid of back pain and headaches. Please don’t come in with that consciousness. Although I do get good results with aches and pains, my purpose is really to maintain your spine through regular adjustments. Like getting an oil change or a tune-up for your car, if you keep your body running well you will have less problems later on.
I don’t want to simply treat symptoms. I want you to heal. I want your body to function normally. I want to keep your nervous system healthy so that your immune system stays healthy and your body can heal itself and function the way God intended it to. I move the bone, and God does the healing. I look forward to seeing you in my office.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call, email, or drop by my office. To set up an appointment, give me a call at 866-365-2049
