Dr. Vince Leone found that treating two afternoon decompression patients boosted his energy, leading him to propose a practice model where the lead chiropractor focuses on specialized, high-value cases while an associate handles routine adjustments. This split reduces burnout and lets each doctor work in their strengths.
But in the afternoon, I had 2 new patients that were both niche. They were both decompression cases. And I noticed in the afternoon, my energy levels just shot through the roof. Interesting. After I consulted with them, because those are bigger cases. And so I think in a model like what we propose, where we become the specialists, take on these high-value ticket niches. A doctor can come in, or the main doctor can focus on those types of cases that really are— they're more rewarding, not only from a clinical point of view, but also from a financial point of view, hopefully. And then the associate doctor can take some of the daily grind of the day in and day out, just regular chiropractic. patients and adjustments and take some of that burden and stress off of the main doctor.
