Jeff Langmaid (speaker) emphasizes that spinal pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide and argues many chiropractic practices are underfilled because of poor communication—specifically weak patient retention and reactivation systems. The speaker frames spinal pain prevalence as a pressing, non-esoteric problem and links practice capacity directly to communication failures.
We all know spinal pain is considered the leading cause of disability in individuals worldwide. Practically say that every single week on this podcast. And I believe many of us as chiropractors, quite frankly, we've heard that so often it's become white noise in the background. But really, take that to heart. There is no shortage of people, not even close, that need your help. So if your schedule is not literally overflowing in full, that means you have a communication issue. There's no question about it. Why? Because there are people suffering. It is the leading cause. This isn't like some esoteric complaint that maybe we can help with. Literally, it is the number one leading cause of disability worldwide. Yet too many of us, our practices are not full consistently because of communication. In my opinion, specifically tying to what I see every day with patient pilot lack of retention and reactivation systems.
