Measure What Matters: How NeckCare Helps Chiropractors Deliver Smarter, Measurable Cervical Spine Care

Every chiropractor who treats the cervical spine knows this truth:

Two patients with the same symptoms can respond completely differently to care.

One improves quickly. The other plateaus.
One says they feel better, but their posture hasn’t changed.
One shows a visible shift—yet still struggles with proprioception or coordination.

And until now, most of that insight lived in your hands and experience. You felt the differences, made adjustments, asked questions—but true measurement? That was harder.

That’s why we’re excited to introduce a partnership with a company that’s changing the game:

NeckCare.

This isn’t a wedge, a traction device, or an at-home foam block. NeckCare is a clinical-grade tool that gives chiropractors real-time, objective data on cervical spine function—so you can assess, treat, and track outcomes with greater clarity than ever before.

If you treat patients with neck pain, whiplash, postural stress, or post-concussion symptoms, NeckCare is a tool worth exploring.

Here’s why.

The Problem: Gaps in Cervical Spine Assessment

As chiropractors, we excel at detecting dysfunction.

We observe motion. We palpate tissue tone. We listen to patient feedback. And we adjust accordingly.

But here’s the challenge:

• Cervical motion is complex.

• Sensorimotor control is subtle.

• Proprioceptive deficits often go unnoticed.

And without objective data, we’re left making decisions based on what we see or what the patient says—not what’s actually happening in their neuromuscular system.

That creates gaps in care.

• The patient who “feels fine” but still has faulty head-neck-eye coordination

• The post-MVC patient who’s “improving” but still can’t stabilize their neck position

• The patient with forward head posture whose joint position error is never measured

And most importantly—it makes it hard to show progress in measurable ways.

The Solution: What Is NeckCare?

NeckCare is a simple, wireless head-mounted sensor that objectively measures three key aspects of cervical spine function:

1. Active Range of Motion

2. Joint Position Error (Proprioception)

3. Sensorimotor Control (Eye-Head Coordination)

These are tests you couldn’t run in practice without expensive equipment or time-consuming processes—until now.

With NeckCare, chiropractors can quickly:

• Assess deficits in cervical movement and control

• Establish clear, baseline metrics

• Track progress over time

• Educate patients with visual data

• Enhance documentation for insurance and referrals

It’s the difference between saying “Your neck looks better” and showing “You’ve reduced your proprioceptive error by 47% in three weeks.”

The Core Tests: What You Can Measure with NeckCare

Let’s take a closer look at what the NeckCare system evaluates—and why it matters.

✅ Active Range of Motion (ROM)

You get precise measurements of cervical flexion, extension, lateral bending, and rotation—with real-time visuals and post-assessment graphs.

Why this matters:

• Creates a reliable clinical baseline

• Tracks improvement objectively

• Identifies asymmetries that palpation might miss

✅ Joint Position Error (JPE)

This test evaluates how accurately a patient can return their head to a neutral position after turning away—a key measure of cervical proprioception.

Why this matters:

• Useful for patients with neck pain, whiplash, and postural instability

• Highlights neuromuscular deficits even when ROM appears normal

• Helps guide rehab strategies and referrals when needed

✅ Sensorimotor Control ("Butterfly Test")

This unique visual tracking test evaluates the patient’s ability to follow a moving target on screen using head and neck movements, while keeping their eyes aligned.

Why this matters:

• Supports diagnosis of cervicogenic dizziness, headaches, and balance issues

• Helps identify coordination deficits that traditional ortho/neuro tests miss

• Reinforces the brain-body connection that chiropractic care supports

Who NeckCare Is Perfect For

NeckCare isn’t just for tech-savvy practices. It’s for chiropractors who care about outcomes—and want to bring clarity to complex cases.

Here’s where it fits best:

• Whiplash and auto injury patients
  Objective tracking improves documentation, recovery planning, and compliance.

• Post-concussion or dizziness cases
  Sensorimotor testing adds clinical value and helps guide referrals or co-management.

• Forward head posture & postural rehab
  Measure what you’re correcting—not just based on how it looks, but how it functions.

• Wellness patients & athletes
  Highlight small improvements that might go unnoticed, and keep motivated patients engaged.

• Documentation-heavy practices
  For insurance, PI, and referral-based offices, the ability to provide quantifiable change is a serious competitive edge.

How It Works (And How Easy It Is)

One of the best things about NeckCare? You can set it up and start testing in minutes.

Here’s how it works:

1. Attach the sensor to a headband or goggles (provided in the kit).

2. Launch the software on any laptop or tablet (Mac or PC).

3. Run the test you want (ROM, JPE, Butterfly), following easy on-screen prompts.

4. Review the results with your patient—including graphs, normative comparisons, and change over time.

5. Track progress, adjust your care plan, and use the data to reinforce clinical decisions and patient education.

No expensive setup. No multi-day training. No overbuilt tech. Just a clean, user-friendly, chiropractor-focused tool that does exactly what you need it to do.

What Other Doctors Are Saying

“NeckCare helps us turn what we feel into data we can use. We’ve added it to every new patient exam—and the wow factor is real.”
—Dr. Chris Beltran, DPT

“This is a must-have tool for post-whiplash and sensorimotor rehab. The proprioceptive data is clear, and patients understand what we’re doing better.”
—Dr. Cameron Bearder, DC

“We’re getting more referrals, faster progress, and more confident care planning. NeckCare elevated how we assess the cervical spine.”
—Dr. Robert Bashuk, MD

Why We Partnered with NeckCare

At The Evidence Based Chiropractor, we’ve reviewed hundreds of tools over the years. We partner only with companies that make it easier for chiropractors to:

• Get better results

• Serve their patients more effectively

• Grow a practice based on trust, science, and outcomes

NeckCare does all three.

It’s simple, affordable, and powerful—and it helps you prove what your hands already know.

That’s why we’re excited to help our community of evidence-based chiropractors discover what’s possible when you measure what matters.

Final Thoughts: This Is the Future of Cervical Care

For years, chiropractors have relied on feel, feedback, and functional movement patterns to guide cervical care.

That still matters.

But in a world of rising expectations, evidence-based practice models, and outcome-driven reimbursement—it’s time to add more.

NeckCare helps you:

• Improve diagnostic clarity

• Make better care decisions

• Track outcomes with confidence

• Educate patients with real visuals

• Support documentation and referrals

• Deliver care that feels as smart as it is effective

It’s not a replacement for your clinical skill—it’s an amplifier.

And in a crowded profession, tools like this make the difference between good and great.

A Better Way to Run Your Practice: Why More Chiropractors Are Switching to Jane EHR

There are two ways to run a chiropractic practice:

1. The hard way: juggling paper notes, clunky software, late-night admin work, and missed payments.

2. The smart way: using a modern, intuitive platform that makes running your clinic simpler, smoother, and more profitable.

If you’re ready for the second option, meet Jane.

At The Evidence Based Chiropractor, we’re always looking for tools and partners that align with how evidence-based doctors think, work, and grow. That’s why we’re proud to introduce our partnership with Jane — the all-in-one practice management software that more and more chiropractors are using to streamline their workflow and deliver a world-class patient experience.

If you’ve ever said to yourself…

• “There has to be a better way to schedule.”

• “I wish everything just worked together.”

• “I need to spend less time on admin and more time with patients.”

…this post is for you.

Let’s explore what makes Jane so special — and why now might be the best time to make the switch.

The Hidden Cost of “Making It Work”

If you’ve been in practice for a while, you’ve probably learned to “make it work” with a mix of tools, patches, and workarounds.

Maybe you’re using one platform for scheduling, another for documentation, a third for payments, and spreadsheets to track everything else. It’s what we call the “Frankenstein stack.”

It might technically work — but it’s costing you more than you think:

• Lost time from double entry or manual follow-ups

• Frustrated team members constantly switching systems

• Missed revenue from patients slipping through the cracks

• Data mistakes from systems that don’t talk to each other

• Poor patient experience from clunky forms or booking processes

That’s where Jane changes the game.

Meet Jane: Practice Management, Reimagined

Jane is a beautifully designed, all-in-one practice management platform built with healthcare providers in mind — and it’s trusted by thousands of chiropractors worldwide.

But what really sets Jane apart isn’t just its features. It’s the way those features are designed to work together, making your day easier, smoother, and more enjoyable.

Let’s walk through some of the ways Jane supports your practice.

🗓️ Online Booking That Patients Actually Use

Patients today expect the convenience of online booking. But not all booking tools are created equal.

Jane’s online booking is clean, mobile-friendly, and fully customizable — meaning patients can easily schedule (or reschedule) appointments 24/7, without calling your front desk.

That means fewer no-shows, fewer scheduling headaches, and more freedom for your team.

💡 Pro Tip: Jane even supports buffer times, appointment limits, and practitioner-specific settings — so you stay in control while giving patients the flexibility they want.

📄 Integrated Documentation That Doesn’t Feel Like a Chore

If you’re tired of clunky note-taking systems that feel like a paperwork time sink, you’re going to love Jane’s clinical documentation.

Jane makes it easy to:

• Create custom SOAP note templates

• Autofill frequent terms and recommendations

• Review patient history at a glance

• Draw directly on body charts

• Maintain secure, compliant records

Whether you're documenting a re-exam or a wellness check-in, Jane’s note system saves you time and keeps everything in one place.

💳 Payments and Insurance—Simplified

One of Jane’s most powerful features? Integrated payments and insurance workflows.

You can:

• Store cards securely on file

• Accept contactless, in-clinic, and online payments

• Submit insurance claims directly from Jane

• Generate superbills for patients

• Track everything with clear, visual reporting

This is where Jane shines — turning what used to be a messy, multi-tool process into a clean, unified system that works for both you and your patients.

And yes—Jane also supports membership billing, packages, and pre-payments.

📈 Insights, Metrics, and Reports You Can Actually Use

As an evidence-based chiropractor, you care about results—and not just clinically.

Jane gives you clear reports on revenue, patient retention, appointment trends, outstanding invoices, and more. No more guessing. No more surprises at month-end.

Your business data becomes a powerful tool—not a source of anxiety.

📱 Custom Intake Forms and Automated Reminders

You’ll be amazed at how much time you get back when your paperwork handles itself.

Jane includes:

• Custom digital intake forms (sent automatically before visits)

• Automated appointment reminders by email and text

• Post-visit follow-ups to improve retention

• Secure document uploads for imaging, notes, or referrals

It’s a win-win: your patients feel supported and your team stays focused.

🧠 Smart Integrations That Power Up Your Practice

Jane doesn’t try to do everything—but it plays incredibly well with others.

You’ll find integrations with:

• Stripe (for payments)

• Fullscript (for online supplement recommendations)

• Mailchimp and marketing tools

• Accounting software

• And more

This means you can connect Jane to the other systems that power your business — without constant exporting, importing, or back-and-forth workarounds.

Why We Recommend Jane at The Evidence Based Chiropractor

There’s a reason we selected Jane as one of our strategic software partners: they truly understand what it takes to run a thriving practice.

Here’s why we’re fans:

• It’s beautifully intuitive. From day one, Jane feels easy to use. You don’t need a 300-page manual or a 6-hour training video.

• It’s truly all-in-one. Instead of bouncing between apps, everything lives in one clean, well-organized dashboard.

• It’s scalable. Whether you’re a solo doc or a growing group practice, Jane can grow with you.

• It’s backed by people who care. Jane’s support team is famously responsive, friendly, and helpful — and that makes a difference.

The bottom line?

Jane helps chiropractors focus more on what matters—great care, clear communication, and a practice that actually runs like a business.

Signs You Might Be Ready for Jane

Still on the fence? Here are a few signs it might be time to make the switch:

• You’re using 3–5 different tools to run your practice

• You (or your team) spend more time on admin than patient care

• You’ve outgrown your current EHR or scheduling system

• You want more automation and less manual busywork

• You’re starting a new practice and want to build it right from the start

If any of these hit home, it might be worth exploring what Jane can do for you.

Build a Practice That Works With You

You didn’t become a chiropractor to chase missed appointments, track unpaid invoices, or wrestle with outdated systems.

You became a chiropractor to help people feel better, move better, and live better.

That’s why tools like Jane matter so much. They don’t just save time—they give you your focus back.

And when your practice runs smoother, your entire life gets better:

• Less stress

• Better patient outcomes

• More referrals

• Higher revenue

• And maybe even a little time to breathe

At The Evidence Based Chiropractor, we believe in using smart systems to build strong practices—and Jane is one of the best we’ve found.

Smart Practice, Smarter Charting: Why More Chiropractors Are Turning to TurnCloud EHR

If there’s one part of running a chiropractic practice that can feel like a black hole—it’s documentation.

It’s confusing. It’s time-consuming. And let’s be honest: It’s not why you became a chiropractor in the first place.

But it’s also non-negotiable.

When your documentation process isn’t streamlined—or worse, when you’re not collecting what you’ve earned—it doesn’t just cost you time. It costs you money, focus, and peace of mind.

And that’s exactly why more evidence-based chiropractors are turning to a modern, chiropractic-specific solution: TurnCloud.

At The Evidence Based Chiropractor, we’re always looking for products and partners that make running a great practice easier, not harder. We believe in tools that create freedom, not friction. And we’re excited to introduce TurnCloud as one of those tools—built by chiropractors, for chiropractors, with one goal:

To help you get paid more, faster, and with less stress.

Why Chiropractic documentation Is Broken

Most chiropractic documentation systems weren’t designed for chiropractors.

They were cobbled together from generalized medical documentation systems, outsourced overseas, or passed off to random “specialists” who didn’t understand the nuances of cash flow in a chiropractic office.

Here’s what that usually leads to:

• Delayed reimbursements

• Uncollected claims

• Staff confusion and turnover

• Compliance concerns

• A big pile of money sitting in limbo

It’s frustrating—and worst of all, it distracts you from the work that really matters: caring for your patients and growing your practice.

The good news? TurnCloud fixes this.

What Is TurnCloud?

TurnCloud is a modern, chiropractic documentation platform that combines powerful automation with expert support—all in one place.

It’s not just a software tool, and it’s not just a service. It’s both.

Here’s what sets it apart:

✅ Expert documentation Support, Just for Chiropractors

Unlike other EHR companies, TurnCloud works only with chiropractors. That means their team understands your CPT codes, your common modifiers, and the unique workflows of a chiropractic office.

From initial claim submission to follow-up and denial management, they’ve got it dialed in. No more guessing, no more Googling, and no more missed revenue.

✅ Real-Time Dashboard = Total Transparency

TurnCloud’s custom dashboard gives you a real-time snapshot of your financial performance. You’ll know:

• What you billed

• What’s been paid

• What’s outstanding

• What’s been denied (and why)

This means no more waiting until month-end reports to realize things have gone sideways. You’ll have the data to make decisions—daily.

Think of it as a command center for your practice revenue.

✅ Collections That Actually Get Collected

According to TurnCloud’s internal data, many of their new clients are missing out on 20–30% of collectible revenue before making the switch.

Why? Because most chiropractors are unaware of just how many claims are never properly followed up on.

TurnCloud closes the gap—fast. Their team tracks, follows up, and resubmits denied claims, ensuring maximum collections with minimal effort on your part.

✅ Built to Help You Scale

One of the most underrated benefits of TurnCloud? It grows with you.

Whether you’re seeing 50 visits a week or 500, TurnCloud can handle the load. And as you expand locations, bring on new providers, or offer additional services, their systems and support scale right alongside you.

You don’t need to reinvent the wheel every time your practice grows.

Why We’re Partnering with TurnCloud

There’s a reason we chose TurnCloud as one of our documentation partners at The Evidence Based Chiropractor.

It’s simple: they solve one of the biggest practice headaches with clarity, competence, and chiropractic-specific expertise.

We know from experience that documentation is one of the top three reasons chiropractors experience burnout, frustration, and revenue leakage.

And we also know this:

When your documentation is running smoothly, your whole practice feels different.
You’re less stressed.
Your team is more confident.
Your patients get better service.
And you can grow knowing that your revenue foundation is solid.

TurnCloud makes that possible.

A Look Inside: How TurnCloud Works (Step by Step)

If you’re wondering, “What does this actually look like in my practice?” — here’s a breakdown of how TurnCloud integrates into your workflow:

Step 1: Easy Onboarding

TurnCloud’s team walks you through a smooth onboarding process to ensure your system is synced, your claims are flowing, and your dashboard is up and running.

No tech headaches. No long delays. Most practices are live within 7–14 days.

Step 2: Real-Time Transparency

Your dashboard shows what’s happening in real time. See claims, payments, denials, trends, and cash flow all in one place. Need to dig deeper? Their team is one message away.

Step 3: Performance Optimization

As your practice evolves, TurnCloud adjusts. They’ll help you identify billing patterns, reduce denials, and improve collection rates—so you keep more of what you earn.

Top Signs You Might Be Ready for TurnCloud

Wondering if this is the right move for your practice?

Here are a few signs it might be time to upgrade:

• You’ve had recent claims denied and don’t know why

• You feel like money is slipping through the cracks

• You’ve lost team members and don’t want to retrain

• You’re growing and need a more scalable solution

If any of those sound familiar—don’t worry. You’re not alone.

And that’s exactly why TurnCloud was built.

Focus on Patients, Not Paperwork

At the end of the day, your documentation system shouldn’t be a source of stress.

It should be a system that runs quietly in the background, supports your practice goals, and makes sure every visit gets collected without you having to chase it.

TurnCloud makes this a reality for hundreds of chiropractic practices across the country—and if you're ready to stop stressing about billing and start focusing on what you do best, it might be time to explore what they can do for you.

How to Get Started

We’ve seen firsthand how powerful TurnCloud can be for chiropractors—and we’re proud to call them a partner of The Evidence Based Chiropractor.

The Best Chiropractic Tables: Why the Leander 950 Series Stands Out

When it comes to building a great practice, every detail matters.

Your communication. Your clinical expertise. Your systems.

And yes—your table.

Your adjusting table is the foundation of your care. It’s where every patient interaction begins and ends. It’s your silent partner in every adjustment, and for many doctors, it’s also the key to delivering effective, efficient care with less physical strain.

That’s why choosing the right chiropractic table isn’t just a logistical decision—it’s a strategic one.

In this post, we’re diving into what makes a great chiropractic table, what features matter most, and why our team at The Evidence Based Chiropractor is proud to announce our newest partnership with one of the most trusted table manufacturers in the profession: Leander Tables.

Why Chiropractic Tables Matter More Than Ever

It’s easy to underestimate just how much of your day is shaped by your table—until you have the wrong one.

Maybe it’s too rigid. Too manual. Missing features you need for modern patient care. Or perhaps it’s just plain uncomfortable for you or your patients.

The reality is: the right table does more than just help you adjust. It helps you scale.

A high-quality table:

• Reduces strain on your body (which helps you practice longer)

• Improves the patient experience (which boosts referrals and retention)

• Increases efficiency during high-volume days

• Opens clinical options with traction, flexion/distraction, and automated movement features

• Contributes to your brand by reflecting a clean, modern, and professional practice

If your table is 10+ years old, requires constant manual movement, or was simply the cheapest option you could find when you started out—this post is for you.

What Makes a Great Chiropractic Table?

The answer depends on your technique and clinical focus, but here are the five essential traits that define great chiropractic tables today:

1. Ergonomics—for You and Your Patients

An ergonomically designed table can mean the difference between a long, painful day and a smooth, productive one. Features like adjustable height, patient-friendly cushioning, and smooth transitions help protect your joints and enhance patient comfort.

2. Versatility

A modern chiropractic table should support a range of techniques, including flexion-distraction, decompression, and manual adjustments. Versatility enables you to tailor your care to meet different patient needs without requiring equipment changes.

3. Automation and Efficiency

Motorized flexion, elevation, and distraction functions reduce the wear and tear on your own body. Additionally, automation saves time, resulting in a smoother workflow and reduced patient wait times.

4. Durability and Support

A quality table is an investment. It should be built to last, with service, support, and parts readily available. Tables that break down during busy clinic hours can cripple your productivity and cost thousands in missed visits.

5. Aesthetic Appeal

This may seem minor, but it’s not. A beautiful, modern table signals professionalism and high standards to your patients. In today’s world, perception is an integral part of the patient experience.

So with all that in mind—how does Leander Tables stack up?

Let’s take a closer look.

Introducing Leander Tables: Built for Chiropractors, by Chiropractors

Leander Tables has been quietly building some of the most respected chiropractic tables in the industry for decades. They’re not a flashy, mass-market brand. They’re a practitioner-driven company rooted in the fundamentals of spinal biomechanics and doctor comfort.

Their signature product—the Leander 950 Series—is a favorite among chiropractors who want the best of both worlds: automated flexion/distraction and dependable, daily-use durability.

Whether you're practicing CBP, Gonstead, diversified, or Thompson technique, the Leander 950 is versatile enough to support your style and powerful enough to help you do it better.

Here’s why.

The Leander 950 Series: Features That Matter

The Leander 950 Series Table is the company’s flagship product—and for good reason.

This table is engineered to enhance the chiropractic adjustment process while reducing physical stress on the doctor. It includes features that many chiropractors may not realize they need until they’ve used them.

Here are just a few of the standout features:

✅ Motorized Flexion-Distraction

Leander was a pioneer in powered flexion, and they’re still leading the way. The 950 Series features a smooth, motor-driven flexion that enables decompression, mobilization, and traction work without requiring manual pumping or strain.

You can perform long-axis traction with minimal effort and maximum precision.

✅ Synchronized Movement

Flexion and distraction occur in a synchronized arc that supports the natural movement of the lumbar spine. This helps reduce pressure on the disc while maintaining patient safety and comfort.

This isn’t a “bend and pull” gimmick—it’s engineered motion.

✅ Optional Cervical and Thoracic Drop Sections

Want to integrate drop technique? You’ve got it. The 950 Series supports drop mechanisms for cervical and thoracic regions, expanding your adjusting options and making it easier to care for a wide variety of patients.

✅ Ergonomic Design

The 950 is built to work with you. That means less leaning, less twisting, and more efficient adjusting posture. It’s a noticeable difference at the end of a long shift.

✅ Whisper-Quiet Operation

Unlike many flexion tables that sound like a diesel truck when activated, the Leander 950 is remarkably quiet. This contributes to a calm, relaxing patient environment—and a better overall experience.

✅ Built to Last

Made in the USA with high-quality components, the 950 is designed for practices that expect high performance every day. And Leander offers service and support you can count on.

How Chiropractors Can Build Strong MD Referral Relationships: A Complete Guide

Building strong referral relationships with medical doctors (MDs) can transform your chiropractic practice. These connections can lead to a steady flow of new patients and position your practice as a reputable, trusted part of the healthcare community. This chiropractor referral guide will explore the strategies needed to create long-lasting MD relationships that benefit your practice and your patients.

Why Chiropractor MD Referrals Matter

For chiropractors, MD referrals represent an invaluable growth opportunity. MDs who understand the benefits of chiropractic care are more likely to refer patients who could benefit from integrative care, helping you reach a wider audience while enhancing your practice’s reputation.

Research shows that patients increasingly seek comprehensive healthcare solutions, and many MDs recognize chiropractic care's role in achieving these outcomes. Building MD relationships can be essential to an integrated healthcare model that prioritizes patient-centered outcomes.

Step 1: Target the Right MDs for Your Practice

Not every MD will likely refer patients to chiropractors, so focus on those who treat patients who could benefit most from your services. Specialties like primary care, orthopedics, pain management, and sports medicine align well with chiropractic, as these MDs frequently see patients who would benefit from chiropractic care.

Actionable Tip

Create a targeted list of local MDs in these fields to ensure your outreach is strategic and relevant. For more on targeting the right MDs, check out our networking guide for chiropractors.

Step 2: Share Research-Driven Content to Build Credibility

Research-backed education is one of the best ways to establish credibility with MDs. Sharing concise, evidence-based insights helps MDs see you as a knowledgeable, credible healthcare partner.

Actionable Tip

Send monthly research briefs that summarize recent studies supporting chiropractic care. These briefs build familiarity with chiropractic’s benefits and help foster stronger MD relationships. Visit our guide on leveraging research for MD referrals to learn more.

Step 3: Create Professional Case Notes to Strengthen Relationships

Clear, professional case notes are vital to maintaining MD relationships. Each referral should include an update summarizing the patient’s treatment and progress. This documentation demonstrates your commitment to quality care, reinforces MDs’ trust, and encourages future referrals.

Case Note Essentials:

• Initial Condition: Describe the patient’s symptoms and treatment goals.

• Treatment Summary: Briefly outline the care provided.

• Outcomes: Note improvements and changes in the patient’s condition.

• Next Steps: Mention the future treatment plan, if any.

Check out our case note writing guide for more information on creating practical case notes.

Step 4: Schedule Face-to-Face Meetings to Build Trust

Meeting MDs in person is a powerful way to establish rapport and trust. Invite local MDs for coffee or lunch to discuss how your services can support their patient care. Emphasize your commitment to patient-centered, collaborative care and how chiropractic complements conventional treatments.

Use these meetings to listen and address any questions or hesitations they may have about chiropractic care.

Step 5: Use Testimonials and Case Studies to Showcase Results

Testimonials and case studies highlighting successful outcomes with shared patients reinforce the value of chiropractic care. They provide MDs with evidence of how chiropractic has positively impacted patients' lives, building confidence in your services.

Creating Compelling Case Studies:

• Choose Impactful Cases: Highlight cases that exemplify the benefits of chiropractic.

• Use Quantitative Results: Data on pain relief, mobility, or quality of life improvements can be persuasive.

• Emphasize Collaboration: Show how the patient benefited from a team approach involving MD and chiropractor.

Check out our case study writing tips for guidance on crafting effective case studies.

Step 6: Maintain Consistent Communication with MDs

Consistent communication is vital to sustaining MD relationships. Regular updates, research briefs, and patient progress reports remind MDs of your partnership’s value. A quarterly email or newsletter keeps you top-of-mind without overwhelming your MD contacts.

Consider creating a newsletter for MDs with relevant chiropractic news and research insights. For ideas, explore our article on effective chiropractic networking.

Step 7: Streamline Your MD Referral Process with Automation

Automation tools make managing MD referrals easy and efficient, ensuring you stay on top of outreach, follow-ups, and referral tracking. You can focus on deepening personal connections with MDs by simplifying administrative tasks.

See our MD Connection product page to explore tools that help chiropractors manage referrals.

Step 8: Show Gratitude to Strengthen MD Relationships
