“How to Bring Community Awareness to Your Business.”

WIN-Net-inc-Logo-14

What makes me qualified to talk about this?

Our office has increased our patient load (new patients and office visits) by 50% in 6 months.

Why?

INCREASE UNIQUE CONTENT

Through videos, testimonial videos, images, articles.

Upload to YouTube, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, and link to our blog and website.

Bonus: pay for a weekly Facebook Ad.

GIVE AWAY CONTENT

We give our patients educational material away (free videos of specific posture exercises, and health topics).

ASK FOR REVIEWS

For some businesses, this is the ONLY way people that do not know you, to find you.

Is your professional reviews more on Yelp? Google?  Facebook? etc.

Put them on your social media.

ASK FOR TESTIMONIALS

New clients will trust someone’s opinion of you, then your own.

Written or video.   This is the proof that you are good what you do (along with reviews).

Put them on your social media.

KEEP TRACK OF YOUR PERSONAL REFERRALS

Are they grow?  Who are they?

BE INVOLVED IN YOUR COMMUNITY

 Start with free or paid talks about your profession to senior centers, school, organizations.

YOUR HOMEWORK:

Here is your check list:

A. What Content can you provide (videos, articles, images, any information that give value to your potential clients/patients).  Be genuine.  Collaborate with complimentary businesses.  Then add these to your:

Vicky’s X-ray/Spine/Posture Analysis after suffering Neuropathy

Vicky approach Euclid Chiropractic after being treated for ear pain/vertigo with various medical treatments.  Vicky’s next procedure was to puncture her ear drum.  Pretty aggressive treatment after no results from medication or shots.

vicky48After taking her x-rays and posture exam, the doctors diagnosed the problem as neuropathy from her neck to the middle ear.

Because of the 48 mm Forward Head Posture, the straightening of the neck cause limited spinal joint motion, this degenerates the spinal disc (narrowing spaces between the vertebrae), leading to neuropathy (pinched nerves).

vicky35

After months of care, was given consistent Chiropractic Adjustments and specific posture exercises.  Vicky’s ear pain and vertigo vanished.  Her posture improved and she felt less stressed now that Vicky felt motivated to continue exercising.

Structurally, the neck is further back by only 35mm Forward Head Posture, the spinal vertebra are more separated due to increased spinal motion.  This would heal the disc to stop neuropathy, ear pain/vertigo in Vicky’s case.

In every case of structural x-ray improvement by Chiropractic Adjustments with posture exercises has shown less symptoms and improved health to the patient.

Watch Vicky’s tell her story.

Every person is at a unique state of health.

Enjoy a Complimentary consultation from specialists and recover from nerve, spine, and muscle pain.

Robert, “I couldn’t get out of bed.”

Robert found our office through our reviews, and wanted to find out why he was having excruciating pain in the morning.  He had tried massage and taken some non-prescribed medication, with no effect long term effect on his pain.  Robert would try to roll on a small ball on his back, some ice/head and still no effect.  Besides his neck, middle back, and low back pain; he had limited and painful motion in his right shoulder.

At his initial exam, Robert had assumed his past military service and recreational activities had contributed to his problem.  His x-ray analysis did should chronic changes in his spine including degenerative disc disease and an abnormal alignment of the bone causing a straight low back and straight neck.

Over a period of a few months, Robert was given adjustments, ultrasound therapy, specific spinal and posture exercises.  We then re-took his x-rays.  Robert saw the improvement on his new x-rays AND felt better at this time.

Watch his video as he explains this in detail.
