From struggle to success: How this associate gained a thriving practice
In Focus The theme of this issue is “practice rescue” so we went in search of a chiropractor who overcame struggling in practice by finding a route to success. Meet Barrett Terry, DC.

When I was playing high school football I’d get triggered headaches from putting the helmet on.” Point/Counterpoint: The Current State of Vaccinations
When discussing vaccination context is important because certain facts are often overlooked. For instance, smallpox vaccination, early on, was a vector for diseases like syphilis, scabies, herpes, trismus (lockjaw), and tuberculosis.

If you are in private practice, being an absolutely awesome DC is not enough. It never will be. Until the business platform that underlies your professional care program is stable and durable, both your business and your practice are at risk.
