Time mark…8:39 EDT… Canada scores the tying goal in second period against USA. More goals to come for sure!
Who says goals don’t count. All of Canada is glued to the television tonight to watch their team play a round robin match against their arch rivals. Imagine when the games really count.
Goals are powerful measuring sticks for everyone wheteher you are Olympians, hockey fans or chiropractic patients. So often we forget to use strings of goals to connect the patient with where they are to where they need and want to be. Unlike a hockey game, there are more than 60 minutes of a game to play in health, wellness and life. We have an oppportunity and a responsibility to inspire and direct our patients with attainable and far reaching goals.
I focus on developing an early understanding of stress and the functioning nervous system. This is where my goals start with the patient. Developing a new awareness for the habits that are taken for granted is a priority. I relate the processing of stress with the reactions that I locate, measure and palpate within the spinal core. My goal is touch and tell. My goal for the patient is an ah-ha. I use all the tools I have to get that ah-ha. On a big goal basis I use the NSFI score to set a goal of neural spinal change and functional improvement . I have xray images to talk about long standing and life altering changes. I use the scans and the images to reinforce my message and to confirm my certainty. My goal is to inform, inspire, and interrupt the subluxation patterns.
I have a multitude of other goals for my patients and my community. A primary goal in this category is referrals. I believe that chiropractic is an authentic grass roots movement that is for the people. It is a simple yet profound message that can easily be relayed from neighbor to neighbor, friend to friend and within the family. Asking my patients to refer their closest people to me for chiropractic care is an automatic in my office. My beliefs are represented by my goals.
Time mark…9:06 PM and the score is 3 goals for the USA and 2 goals for Canada. Goals are everywhere and sometimes there arn’t enough of them when you want them. ( 20 minutes to go. Lets see if there are more Canadian goals in the near future)
