Business School for the Rehab Chiropractor

There are many 'gurus' out there who will tell you what to do. I won't. You're too smart for that. Just like you'd be insulted if I told you the protocol to treat every single patient, I believe the same about business. As a high level thinker, my expectation is that as you gain the understanding of high level principles, you'll be able to make decisions yourself. The problem with always being tol...

As an entrepreneur, the last thing you need to do is worry about saving money. Rather, obsess over making more money. An employee gets a paycheck and then needs to budget the money appropriately in order to allocate funds. But when an entrepreneur wants to grow the business, the mindset should be, "How can I make MORE money to pay for this?" This shift in mindset is the main difference between the...

Have you ever had good intentions turn bad? I feel the same way about multi-disciplinary practices in chiropractic. So many young docs getting into this with a dream of an 'all in one' facility where one patient can get ALL the services in one place. Unfortunately, what this usually turns into is, "The patient has good insurance? Cool, we'll give them every service their insurance will cover." The...

This is the episode everyone needs and nobody wants. Financial literacy and building a plan around your student loan repayment is a key to success. So many rehab chiropractors graduate chiropractic college and want to start their own practice but are too scared due to student loans. In this episode, I interview Will Butler who is a trained physical therapist and now works as a financial planner. H...

In his triumphant return to the pod, Dr. Jeremy brings absolute heat with a unique perspective of not only running a world class rehab practice, but also mentoring and teaching students and new graduates. The best advice: Learn from those who have made the mistakes before you so you don’t do the same.  Join the waitlist NOW for ‘Everything You Should Have Learned in Chiro School, But Didn’t’ Click...

In this episode, we take a question from a chiropractic student. The question, “Can rehab chiropractic work in a small town? And, what if nobody in my town wants it?” Obviously, not every rehab chiropractor plans on practicing in big cities and in this podcast we discuss a framework on how to THINK about the decision making process. The reality is, we’re lying if we 100% know it CAN or CAN’T work....

“I’ll let you know when I’m ready,” is a giant red flag of out of control business owners. The benefit of owning a business is that you have control. But when you live in a world of, “when things calm down,” or “after I implement,” you are saying external circumstances dictate how you operate. Mature business owners understand that life will ALWAYS happen and they will make the decision anyway. Th...

Kevin Vandi started his cash based PT practice from scratch in 2015 and reached $1M in revenue in six years. Kevin has built a very specific niche where he utilizes the latest in gait and force plate technology to truly stand apart from the typical practice. Kevin speaks about his journey as an entrepreneur including some key decisions he made along the way to get to $1M in revenue. He also discus...

The majority of my mastermind members come to me once they’ve gotten their business going and gotten stuck. This usually happens around the $10K/month revenue mark.  One of the major issues is a lack of foresight in the business…which is often unavoidable. When you start a new business, the only thing you can think of is getting it off the ground. Because when you’re making NO money ANY money is G...

The #1 question for every rehab chiropractor is, “How do I get more new patients?” I’m glad you asked… In this episode, I interview Hannah Matheson, our marketing director and Google Ads expert. In three years, Hannah has gone from college graduate with no marketing experience to Marketing Director of a $1M company, and manager of over $15M in Google Ads account businesses.  She has worked with bu...

You spit in the face of every business owner out there when you say, “I want to have work-life balance.” In this episode Justin talks about what he’s currently hearing people say vs what they are actually doing. So many new graduates and new business owners say they want to be successful and make money yet continually don’t act accordingly.  The theme of this episode is about deciding who you want...

This episode is a special one… it’s where you get to hear from the first ever OFFICIAL employee here within our companies, Lauren McHale. So many of the rehab chiropractors we work with are now in the position to hire their first employee, so why not hear from our first?  In this episode, we discuss Lauren’s background and what she was looking for when she applied for the job. We also talk about h...

The fastest and cheapest way to build your rehab chiropractic practice at the start is through joint ventures. This is another clip from our Jersey Shore Pop Up event where we take a question from the audience regarding joint venture relationships. Specifically, this episode is about how to message properly when dealing with a strength and conditioning facility. A rehab chiro can use a gym relatio...

So many rehab chiros ask me about building a practice centered around treating athletes. My answer is usually, “Don’t.” But it is possible. And rather than me telling you the reasons why it’s a bad idea, I’d rather interview an expert who has done it. Dr. Natty is a clinic owner, published author, and podcast host. He’s done absolutely amazing at building his business, his brand, and growing a tea...

In this episode, I talk about developing an organizational chart. This chart allows us to simplify every role and responsibility in the business from sales, marketing, finance, and operations. Most chiropractors get stuck solo because they simply don’t respect the org chart. In other words, they never build out the departments of the company other than operations (chiros and admins). Even worse, m...

In this episode, I talk about how to do the math regarding your hourly rate. Most of us in the rehab chiro world simply consider how much we make from treating a patient. But the reality is, the only way your business will grow and scale is if your hourly rate increases. However, the hourly rate of treating a patient is NOT what I’m talking about. In this specific episode, I discuss exactly how to...

In this episode, I talk about the most cringe-worthy topic in the rehab chiropractic profession. Money. So many of us have grown up with internal money issues. We either spend too much, don’t invest in the right things, grow up without it, or are afraid to ask others for it. The problem is that if it’s not addressed it will continue to plague you in your business career and leave you broke and fru...

We’ve got a really exciting episode for you today. It’s live footage from our most recent ‘Pop Up’ event at the Jersey Shore. We had over 20 people attend and after three hours, the most common takeaway was, “I can’t believe how fast this went!” In this episode, I talk about a concept I believe is valuable to every single business owner in the world: The difference between confidence and self-beli...

This episode has a bit of a different twist to it, so you’re going to want to check it out! Victory is the first rehab chiropractor we’ve interviewed who purchased an existing practice. So many students out there are looking to potentially purchase an existing practice and our mastermind program is perfectly suited to help with this. We talk through the specific steps we walked Victory through in...

In this solo episode, Justin discusses the concept of input and output in business. So many business owners look for something new and quick to fix the business or make more money but in most cases, it’s simply that their input matches their output. Oftentimes, the strategy is correct but the amount necessary to get the result is not. Specifically, members of the Rehab Chiro Mastermind program are...

In this episode, I interview Dr. Matt Clay of Loudoun County, Virginia about his journey of going from a new grad clinic manager to an associate to an entrepreneur and a clinic owner.  Matt originally reached out to our Google Ads agency to help him increase his marketing but I wouldn’t take him on for that because I didn’t think he had the back-end business systems to get the ROI. He ended up joi...

In this solo episode, Justin talks about the constant frustration among Rehab Chiropractors…that school didn’t teach business. Justin doesn’t believe school should be in the business of teaching business. And even if they did, does anyone think they would do a good job? To be honest, most students in chiropractic college aren’t even in the mental frame to LEARN business so we should all probably g...

We have our first REPEAT guest on the podcast!! Dr. Jeremy holds the record for the most downloaded episode in the history of “Business School For The Rehab Chiropractor” so we brought him back for Round 2. Jeremy has built a huge following of up and coming rehab chiros and most importantly he has a business to back up the advice he gives. In this episode, we dive deep into the most frequently ask...

Dr. Alex Early is the founder of Active Health and Restoration located in Carol Stream, Illinois as well as Midwest Rehabilitation Institute. If you are a rehab chiro, you are probably familiar with Alex as Midwest offers continuing education courses in everything from sports rehab to dry needling and so much more. But since this is a business podcast, I was fascinated to dive deep into how Midwes...

In this episode, I interview Dr. Shannon Connolly who practices in Middletown, New Jersey, and part-time in New York City. This episode is especially relevant for the rehab chiros out there thinking about or who already have multiple locations.  Shannon discusses the benefits and drawbacks of practicing in multiple spots and how she made the decision to finally focus on one location.  Shannon was...
