A short talk by Jeff Langmaid arguing that chiropractors should build referral relationships to see patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain early (within weeks to three months). Early chiropractic intervention yields the best short-term outcomes, which leads to better long-term results, and failing to be on other providers' referral radar misses large opportunities for patient care and clinic business.
So if you're serious about taking care of people with chronic nonspecific low back pain which is a lot of people in your community then building referral relationships is critical because those first few weeks to three months are also critical and you're for relying on only the patient to be able to find you. You're probably missing half the boat because many people, most people are actually going to traditional providers and if those traditional providers Maryland do Pennsylvania nurse practitioner if you're not on their radar as a referral source you're missing a massive opportunity from a business persp but also just from a health of your community perspective if you're taking it real seriously. So this reinforces that concept that we need to be there early as chiropractors it's where we're going to see the best results. Guess what, the best short term results that absolutely goes right into the best long term results. So getting there early, ensuring you see these patients early absolutely critical.
