MoChihChu Schofield Chiropractic Training Podcast - Dr. Fred's Journey to Chiropractic

Dr. Fred's Journey to Chiropractic

06/11/24 • 18 min

MoChihChu Schofield Chiropractic Training Podcast

In this episode of the Schofield Chiropractic Training podcast, coaches Dr. FJ Schofield and Dr. Fred Schofield dive into a conversation about time and destiny. They kick things off with a heartwarming story from Dr. FJ's childhood. When young Dr. FJ asked his father, "What time is it?" Dr. Fred simply replied, "It's the right time." This concept of "Synchronicity Time" versus "Biological Time" sets the stage for a discussion on how we perceive and manage our time.

Dr. Fred shares his incredible journey into chiropractic care, beginning with a rugby injury at 14 that led to back pain and the threat of exploratory surgery. Six years later, at the Toyota Championship, a transformative adjustment from Dr. Roy—who focused on Dr. Fred's Atlas rather than his back—set him on the path to chiropractic.

Dr. Fred's tale doesn't end there. He recounts his adventures from playing rugby in Italy to a fateful encounter that directed him to Palmer College of Chiropractic. Despite facing visa issues and last-minute hurdles, a series of serendipitous events, including a Swiss bank account and a chance meeting at an airport, ensured he made it to Palmer just in time.

Join Dr. FJ and Dr. Fred as they reflect on the importance of timing, resilience, and the unexpected turns that led to their success in chiropractic. Their stories remind us that what is meant for you will come to you, and it's always the right time.

Key Takeaways:

  • The concept of "Synchronicity Time" versus "Biological Time."
  • Dr. Fred's journey from a rugby injury to becoming a chiropractor.
  • The importance of resilience and trust in the process.
  • How unexpected events can lead to significant life changes.

Dr. Fred shares a story about a recent patient with a spinal fusion at 4, 5, and 6. This complex case, referred by another fusion patient, underscores the importance of having precise expertise in such treatments. Handling these cases skillfully not only ensures patient safety but also enhances your reputation for excellence, leading to more referrals of similar challenging cases. This is the direct link between achieving positive patient outcomes and receiving referrals. Satisfied patients will naturally refer others, driving growth for your practice.

Dr. Fred and Dr. FJ discuss strategies for encouraging referrals, such as offering new patient specials. These incentives can attract new patients and motivate your current ones to spread the word about your services.

Dr. FJ and Dr. Fred explain how showing patients their progress through detailed plans and introducing new exercises can keep them engaged and motivated. Most patients will see improvements and appreciate the clinical certainty that comes with a well-managed care plan.
