Are you a chiropractor trying to grow your practice but feel overwhelmed by marketing options? In this episode of The Informed Chiropractor, we diversified a little to help practice members, as we talked about modern strategies that actually bring new patients through your doors.
Joined by chiropractic marketing expert Billy Sticker, we explore how short-form video content, office tour videos, and simple FAQ-style reels can build trust and reduce the fear that keeps people from booking their first visit. We also connect this approach to the polyvagal theory, showing how creating a sense of neurological safety can make or break that first impression.
Here is a highlight or a sneak peek into what we talked about.
- Why 40-second vertical videos outperform long intros (and how to make them)
- How platforms like Facebook and Instagram use AI to get your content in front of your ideal patients
- Why an office tour video can help ease the nervous system and increase show-up rates
- The power of creating a pre-visit video library to shorten the report of findings and save your team time
- How real chiropractors have grown from $30k/month to seven-figure practices with simple, authentic content
- New AI tools that answer your phones, qualify leads, and even help you stay HIPAA-compliant
- Why your content doesn’t need to be perfect, it just needs to show who you are
