I find that folks are most likely to give the names of friends, family and co-workers when they have had an especially helpful interaction with you.  If they have gained something useful or valuable from their meeting with you, instead of seeing a referral as helping you, they will believe they are giving their friend  something of value.  Often even the easiest  transaction in our insurance agency, for example, is considered a great example of customer service to our policyholders.  Just remember 2 things:   take that extra step to help your clients whenever you can.  It will be a win/win situation – a happy customer and new referred prospects for you, and also:  ASK your clients the following:  “We would like more clients like you.  Do you know anyone who would appreciate great customer service?  We’d like to meet them!”

From Malik Slosberg, D.C.

“Back and neck problems usually begin with an acute episode which heals quickly.  However, much recent evidence indicates that these problems tend to reoccur, with gradually increasing pain and disability.

Many studies have found that the best predictor of a new episode of back pain is a previous one.

It is now understood that back and neck pain are similar to asthma.  They are both chronic, intermittent problems that occur periodically over the course of a lifetime, rather than an acute disease that can be cured.  Like asthma, back and neck problems must be managed and kept under control.

Two thirds of people who have had back pain in the past are likely to have symptoms every year.  There are more than 100 million back pain sufferers a year in the United States.

If tissue heals with poor function, symptoms can … Read More »

There are basically three stages the body goes through in order to heal from an injury.

The first stage is the inflammatory stage. This is typically the first three to four days after you hurt yourself or a chronic injury flares up.  The most important thing to remember about this stage is DO NOT USE HEAT as a method of feeling better.  It will make your condition worse!  ONLY USE ICE  for the first three to four days.  And….only apply the ice for a duration of 20-25 minutes every 2 waking hours.  That’s right.  Do not put any ice on an area when you are in bed, laying down, or anywhere where there is a possibility of you falling asleep.  Bad, bad, very bad idea.  Heat and prolonged use of ice will cause EXCESSIVE SWELLING in the area that you are … Read More »

I have heard many people in the last few days say that they were sick or that their children were sick.  When I inquired as to what was occurring, I heard descriptions of sore throats, coughing, fatigue, fever and lack of appetite.  It is interesting to me how our society views these types of symptoms as sickness. Unquestionably, symptoms like the ones I listed above are often uncomfortable to go through for a child or adult.  The question is, however, despite the fact that one does not feel well, are they sick?  The answer is no!  I invite you to consider the following.

All of the above symptoms are signs of a body that is properly adapting to its environment.  Scientists clocked how fast microorganisms come out of our mouths when we cough – 120 … Read More »
