Success Principles

This bonus session will be an opportunity to discuss practice management, business management, personal development, marketing, and branding. The practice of upper cervical is unique and therefore should be branded and operated as such. One of the biggest mistakes made by new graduates is applying “old wine to new wine skins” (running an upper cervical clinic in the same way and brand as a traditional chiropractic facility). This session will include Q&A and open discussion about best practices for success in upper cervical.
