So, you’ve spent 8 years in college and likely much more than $100,000.00 to get your DC degree. You’ve survived and passed all the national and state board chiropractic examinations to get your Doctor of Chiropractic license. You’re now in the school of “hard knocks” developing a tough skin as you encounter the additional challenges of building a practice and learning that business is a whole different skill than doctoring. Congratulations! You’ve accomplished a lot, but are likely realizing that there is much more to attaining success as a DC than you’ve been led to believe.
Looking back upon my nearly 30 years as a Chiropractor, building one of the largest multi-DC family practices, I’m happy to report that the trials, stress, and tribulations are all worth it. Yep, you and I have made the right choice. And I’m not even referring to the potential for a wonderful income, having pleasant office hours, holidays off, or even becoming well respected as a professional in your community. No, the real reward comes from helping people in the best way we know how – with chiropractic adjustments to release their nervous system impulses so their body can function optimally.
This beautiful principal in chiropractic, its core foundation, that real health and healing comes from within as a gift from God, is worthy of any efforts or challenges that you may encounter. You’ll be reminded of it every time a patient comes to you, trusting you, many times after they have failed to obtain help in the conventional medical system. When you adjust your patient using your unique skills and talents, and soon after see their delight in being able to sleep better, stand taller, move easier, need less or no medication, or just become able to enjoy their lives more – your reward is immeasurable.
Doctor, you must keep on keeping on. Your journey as a healer, your assignment to help God’s people, is a journey to be cherished, even with the many distractions along the way. When our assignment someday comes to a close whether by choice or destiny, lets you and I go out with a big smile of contentment, knowing that we’ve done our best.
