5 things chiropractors do on adjustment visits that cause people to drop out (and what to do instead!)

5 things chiropractors do on adjustment visits that cause people to drop out (and what to do instead!)

Patients and clients hit their peak results when they stick to the care plan you've laid out. That's how they get the best outcomes, and that's how your practice levels up and gets the most rewarding. But, what if you're accidentally doing things that push them away from continuing their care?

In this episode, Martin breaks down the five huge blunders chiropractors make during adjustment visits. He’s giving you the real talk on what you need to do differently to make sure your patients see the undeniable value of sticking with chiropractic care.

Shituation – "Is that it?" how to communicate the value of visits separately to how long they take!

Shituation – "Is that it?" how to communicate the value of visits separately to how long they take!

One of the great things about chiropractic is that you can often create phenomenal change in an instant. There can be a challenge where people feel or even say "is that it?" when they get up from the table! As humans, we often see the amount of time someone takes with us as a proxy for value.

In this episode, Martin breaks down how to avoid these shituations as much as possible as well as how to deal with them when they do crop up!

Playing the infinite game with Dr Ash Pritchard.

Playing the infinite game with Dr Ash Pritchard.

We often talk about the value of playing the long game. That when you prioritise long-term over short-term goals it helps you avoid 'bright shiny objects' and do things more in line with your values.

So what about infinite games? Simon Sinek has written about the value of playing an infinite game, so how does it apply to us in chiropractic?

In this episode, Dr Ash Pritchard joins Martin to explain how he sees his involvement in chiropractic as an infinite game.

"Help, I talk too bloody much!"

"Help, I talk too bloody much!"

One of the paradoxes of communication is that often the less you say the more people understand you. This is particularly true in chiropractic where we are communicating about a view of health that is different to the predominant view.

So what shoudl you do if you're prone to 'talking too much'?

In the episode Martin shows you a practical way to talk less and communicate more!

How should I use research in my daily visit communication?

Research is the currency of influence.
It can give you and chiropractic credibility and authority.

So, how do you break down complex research into nuggets of wisdom that resonate with your patients?
 

Tune into this episode for practical tips and strategies to communicate research effectively, making it engaging and relevant to your clients.
Let's bridge the gap between science and the adjustment table, one visit at a time.

Shituation - "Why do people talk over me and what can I do to stop it? 💩💩💩

Shituation - "Why do people talk over me and what can I do to stop it? 💩💩💩

Do you hate it when someone talks over you? It feels crappy, doesn't it?

In this episode, we explore this common yet seldom discussed challenge.
Martin guides us through understanding why this happens and how to subtly (or not so subtly) shift the dynamic.
The focus is on pattern interrupts and the 'yes,...and' strategy — tools not just for chiropractors aiming to refine their interactions with clients, but for anyone looking to navigate conversations with more grace and effectiveness.
This isn't about dominating discussions but about fostering a space where everyone is heard.

A listener's question - How to handle re-exam shituations! 💩💩💩

Objectively measuring the progress your clients make is a key to creating a high retention practice. But what if the measurements don't improve (or get worse) by the time of the re-exam? It's a shituation that can have the client deeply dissatisfied and you feeling uncertain about how to discuss it and what to recommend next.

In today's episode Martin maps out a framework that takes into account the technical and communication aspects of this shituation to give you an approach that will leave you feeling much more certain with your care plans and re-exams.

A listeners question "How should I present chiropractic so more people say yes?

The bottom line is that the best way you can help people is to have them receive the benefits of care. Crafting your approach to communication is critical so that people both see that you care and see that they are likely to benefit. You have to have both the emotional and logical bases covered.

In this episode, Martin breaks down an approach that will help you connect and communicate individual value so that more people experience the benefits of care in your practice.

Beyond the Script: Mastering Authentic Connection for Chiropractic Retention

Beyond the Script: Mastering Authentic Connection for Chiropractic Retention

In the chiropractic world, there's this belief that the key to keeping patients is all about nailing down slick scripts and selling them on the wonders of chiropractic care. It's a never-ending hustle of always closing deals, roping back in those who've left, and scouting for fresh clients. But, here's a thought: maybe there's a smarter way to do this.

People stick around for two reasons: they feel a real connection with you because they know you genuinely care, and they see that chiropractic care helps them do stuff that's important to them. It's not about how well you can recite lines; it's about the bonds you build and the value you bring to their lives.

Your skills in creating these connections and showing the real worth of what you do are what really drive patient retention. Your current Patient Visit Average (PVA) isn't just a number; it's a reflection of how good you are at keeping patients around.

In today's episode, we're cutting through the noise to focus on what really matters. I'll break down the exact skills you need to amp up your retention game, based on where you're at right now. It's about moving away from the old playbook and towards a more authentic, effective way of running your practice.

4 things that chiropractors do that kill their retention.

4 things that chiropractors do that kill their retention.

Let's cut the crap. Today, Martin is going to tell you about the four ways you're screwing up patient retention without even realizing it. In the chiropractic world, there's this bullsh*t belief that if you just nail the perfect spiel in your report and become a ninja at dodging objections, patients will magically stick around. Wrong.

This episode is about tearing down that illusion. It's not about mastering some fancy script or playing verbal judo with patients. That kind of approach? It's a one-way ticket to a never-ending loop of convincing, losing, and desperately trying to win back patients. You end up stuck in this cycle of throwing money at Facebook ads, gimmicky discounts, and whatever else, hoping something sticks. Spoiler alert: It doesn't work.

Martin's here to wake you up. He's going to lay out the real reasons patients are walking out the door and what you can actually do about it. Forget the usual BS. It's time for a reality check on building genuine, bullshit-free relationships with your patients. So, buckle up and get ready for some hard truths that could turn your practice around.

6 reasons it's hard to change people's beliefs (and what to do about it)

6 reasons it's hard to change people's beliefs (and what to do about it)

In this episode, our host, Martin, dives into the world of cognitive biases that shape the beliefs of both health professionals and those seeking chiropractic care. As university-educated health professionals, we often pride ourselves on thinking 'correctly,' but the influence literature tells a different story – our thinking is inherently biased.

Martin explores a groundbreaking new paper that unveils the six key biases influencing our perceptions. Why is this crucial? Because if you aspire to broaden the reach and impact of chiropractic care, understanding and navigating these biases is paramount. The key lies in communicating effectively, aligning with the biases of both your patients and yourself.

Join Martin as he unravels the mysteries behind these biases and demonstrates how this newfound awareness can revolutionize the way we communicate the profound value of chiropractic. It's not just about delivering information; it's about connecting with individuals on a level that resonates with their unique cognitive framework.

The 3 best questions to ask with reactivations

The 3 best questions to ask with reactivations

People do what they do because they believe what they believe. The most common belief that causes people to stop having care is that 'you see a chiropractor when you have pain'. When people come back in the return of their symptoms is an opportunity to help them see the value of a different belief system. But for them to be able to see it you have to ask the right questions.

In this episode Martin maps out the three best questions to use with reactivations and exactly how to use them in your practice.

Creating a care plan that will help people get the best results is critical to your clinical success and critical to getting great results.

How to help people stay on track when they "need to call" for their next appointment.

How to help people stay on track when they "need to call" for their next appointment.

Retention is based on 2 things:

  1. Communicating the unique value your care has for each person.
  2. Creating and maintaining connection.

Our clients are just like you - sometimes they stop doing things because they just lost momentum rather than choosing that they no longer want to do it.

In today's episode, Martin explains why pre-booking is key to maintaining momentum and what to do when people's busy lives get in the way.

Does pre-paying negatively impact how people see you? 💰💰💰

How to do the first 2 visits for people with long-term problems

How to do the first 2 visits for people with long-term problems

When people have long-term problems you need a more advanced skill set to be able to present chiropractic in a way that they are likely to follow through with care. You see when people have long-term problems it has more of an emotional impact that can make it harder for them to see the value of your care.


In this episode, Martin explains the psychological impact of chronic problems and how to modify your communication to connect and communicate with these people.

Using science to help you communicate chiropractic

Metaphors to help you communicate chiropractic

Metaphors to help you communicate chiropractic

Communicating chiropractic can be hard. The big idea of chiropractic is simple - that chiropractic can help your body work better so that you can do ALL the things you have to do and love to do. But connecting people with it is more difficult. It's more difficult because this idea is different from the predominant ideas in our culture. And it's difficult because we have the curse of knowledge where it's hard for us to imagine what it's actually like to not know that!

This is where metaphors, similes, and schemas come in. They are all ways of linking concepts that people already understand to chiropractic.

In this episode, Martin goes through his favourite links to the bid idea of chiropractic!

Exam essentials- the power of doing the right tests! ✅ ✅ ✅

Exam essentials- the power of doing the right tests! ✅ ✅ ✅

If you don't have a great examination it's tough to know if someone who isn't getting symptomatic results just needs more care or they need a different approach. It's tough to know when to change someone's frequency of care. It's tough to really practice in a model that is about function, not pain.

When you do the right tests (and do them right!) it helps the client get the best care, helps your clinical certainty, AND, can help communicate the value of prevention and performance.

In this episode, Martin explores all these areas and gives you templates that you can use to upgrade your exam.
