Alternative Services you Can Offer at Your Chiropractic Office

You need to find alternative services that you can add to your practice, and that are within the scope of your ability to practice in your state. They need to be low cost and easy to do. A service that you can add and start marketing through the Internet and locally in your community, so you can start building up alternative cash patients coming into the clinic.

So whether it's breast thermography or weight loss or fibromyalgia treatments, you can increase the part of your practice that is cash-based and get to a balanced practice that is 50% insurance, 50% cash. Some of the more popular services to consider include:
  • Cold Laser Therapy: pain management, wound healing, detox, increasing range of motion, decreasing inflammation;
  • ASERT Technique: allergy elimination, increasing energy levels, ion-cleansing foot baths;
  • Heavy Metal Detox: increase energy levels and boost the immune system;
  • Auriculotherapy Treatments: eliminate addictive behaviors such as smoking, alcohol abuse, drugs, gambling and over-eating;
  • Nutritional Testing: help patients find the exact nutrition needed for the body;
  • Women's Hormone Testing: which aids in helping women level out hormonal issues using salvia based testing;
  • Advanced Chiropractic Services: Decreasing pain and degenerative disc issues that increase range of motion while boosting the immune system;
  • CVR: creative visualization and relaxation programs; 20-minute programs over 13 weeks using your eyes, brain, and ears. This can now be done from home or traveling. There are 18 different programs from weight loss to Bobby Lopez's Golf that takes 4- 7 strokes off your score;
  • Education & Information: helping your practices provide valuable education and information to all patients;
  • Computerized Regulatory Thermography: it's how they detect many cancers in Germany; F.D.A. approved for breast, liver, colon screens;
  • Ozone therapy, for detoxification;
  • And many others.
Many of these services can be added to your practice for a very reasonable investment, often for less than $5,000

Every practice is different, of course. There are services that all chiropractors can do in legally in most states, and other services that require special licensing or medical supervision.

It's important to determine which services will pay off for your geographic area and type of patient. The best way to do that is to work with an experienced chiropractic consultant who has already implemented these services for hundreds of other successful practices.
