Takeaways Chiropractic students may face challenges and lack of support from classmates and colleagues, but finding the right mentors and surrounding oneself with like-minded individuals can make a difference. The chiropractic profession needs to evolve and adapt to modern healthcare practices. Remote coaching offers opportunities to address a broader spectrum of people and provide continuous communication and support. Addressing multiple factors, such as mindset and nutrition, is important in achieving optimal outcomes for patients. Start slow and gradually build up when it comes to exercise and habit formation. Set realistic expectations and pre-frame them to avoid disappointment. Effective and efficient training is more important than spending excessive time on workouts. Good communication skills are crucial in the clinician-patient relationship. Sales can be a valuable skill in building trust and confidence. Personalized and genuine interactions are key in the healthcare and coaching fields.

Drs. Phil Luu and Jenna Nitowski-Luu, chiropractors and owners of Lotus Spine and Strength, discuss their approach to helping clients reduce pain and improve physical performance. They explain that pain is complex and that it's important to consider multiple factors when considering a person's symptoms or pain. They challenge the narrative that our bodies should look a certain way and that certain positions or movements are inherently damaging, and emphasize the need to individualize care and focus on the patient's goals. We discuss how Chiropractic care should focus on the dynamic capabilities of the spine and its ability to adapt to activities, rather than on alignment. Patients should communicate their goals to their provider, who can then reverse engineer a plan to achieve those goals. It's important for patients to trust their instincts and seek a second opinion if they feel the need.
