ChiroTouch Is an Invaluable Resource for Chiropractic Students

As you prepare to begin your work as a chiropractor through education and work experience, you probably have questions about how to run a successful practice and the practical steps involved in getting there.

In your coursework, you learn about human anatomy, chiropractic techniques, and treatment plans, but there is much more to a chiropractic practice than treating patients.

Many education programs never teach students how to run a practice, leaving them unprepared for the many challenges involved.

Chiropractors need to know about practice management, including how to find and keep new patients, how to bill patients and insurance companies to get prompt payment, how to ensure you remain in compliance with regulations, how to communicate with patients effectively, and much more.

No matter how great your technical skills as a chiropractor are, the success of your practice will be compromised if you don’t also attend to the details of practice management. You’ll need to know how to run your practice in a way that satisfies your patients’ needs and keeps them coming to you rather than a competitor.

Education Never Stops

Your education in the field of chiropractic practice will never stop; there are always new things to learn. Most states require continuing education to be a part of your professional life, as the profession constantly changes and new methods are discovered or created.

You can demonstrate that you have met the requirements of your state by taking CE courses or attending other training that awards these credits.

You can find a list of state-by-state continuing education requirements for chiropractors here. Generally, CE credits come with a cost and are limited to coursework approved by your state, but again, requirements vary.

Since COVID-19 has become a factor in whether states and organizations are providing live, in-person training opportunities, many states have loosened their CE requirements and either reduced the hours needed or are accepting more of those hours in the form of online training. Some states have done both.

Regardless of state mandates, however, you will still want to learn as much as you can about your profession, including practice management best practices and ways of maximizing the income your practice can generate.

Besides taking officially recognized CE courses, another way to do that is to look for information from trusted online sources that can help you fill knowledge gaps or supplement your coursework.

The internet is full of webinars, articles, newsletters, and podcasts, but not all of them will be worth your time. You need to look for trustworthy information from experts in the field.
