To be a successful sports DC,
you must build upon your strengths as a skilled chiropractor.
• Enroll in the
CCSP and diplomate program. This is an essential beginning
step.
• Get a mentor. Associate yourself with a doctor who has the skills
and knowledge that make him or her an excellent sports DC. Emulate
the qualities you admire. Learn all you can from your mentor.
• Set your practice
apart. Become the “five star restaurant”
of chiropractic in your community.
Make sure you’re more
knowledgeable about sports than other doctors in your community,
and offer the best service in the area. Learn all you can about
nutrition, exercise, rehab, chiropractic philosophy, and practice.
Keep current. There’s always something new to learn.
Give your patients an attractive
office where comfort and service are your hallmarks. Keep the
focus on technology and knowledge, where patient education,
modern equipment, and a skilled, service-oriented professional
staff all complement each other.
Act as a source of sports and
sports injury information for the community. Get your name known
by local teams, schools, and corporations. Participate in health
fairs and provide your services for sports competitions.
