This year is shaping up to be the best year for Upper Cervical Chiropractors.  There has been great media attention, great research attention and the list of MUST see seminars this year is growing and just simply awesome.

I just got off the phone with Dr. Shawn Dill, founder of “That Something” Coaching Program, who just shared with me that Dr. Joe Dispenza will be the Keynote Speaker at this year’s Synapse.  Amazing.

Dr. Joe Dispenza is a personal hero of mine ever since I first became aware of him in “What the Bleep.”  He will be sure to change the way you perceive your reality.

Joe Dispenza, D.C., studied biochemistry at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, N.J. He has a Bachelor of Science degree with an emphasis in Neuroscience from Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA. Dr. Dispenza also received his Doctor of Chiropractic Degree at Life University in Atlanta, Georgia, graduating magna cum laude.

Over the last 10 years, Dr. Dispenza has lectured in over 17 different countries on six continents educating people about the role and function of the human brain. He has taught thousands of people how to re-program their thinking through scientifically proven neuro-physiologic principles. As a result, this information has taught many individuals to reach their specific goals and visions by eliminating self-destructive habits. His approach, taught in a very simple method, creates a bridge between true human potential and the latest scientific theories of neuroplasticity. He explains how thinking in new ways, as well as changing beliefs, can literally rewire one’s brain. The premise of his work is founded in his total conviction that every person on this planet has within them, the latent potential of greatness and true unlimited abilities.

OUCH!  AGAIN!

I am currently in the process of opening another Upper Cervical Chiropractic Practice and I am humbled and reminded once again how daunting the process can be even if you have done it a few times before.  Every situation is different.  The permit process is vastly different, from city to city, the loan/leasing situation is always changing, marketing that used to work is now obsolete.  The insurance/cash situations pose unique challenges from location to location.  Then there are the things you don’t know, you don’t know!  Those are my favorite.

Since every process is so different and poses a unique set of circumstances it can often feel lonely in the process.  There are a few places to reach out to but what if you could reach out to a group that was entrenched in the same process as you are now?  What if you could quickly and effortlessly check in on your computer or phone for some sage advice or even just to vent a frustration? How great would it be to share a win in your area that helps another warrior get unstuck across the country.

Dream Practice Mastermind

I am putting together a small group of committed Chiropractors who are on a mission to open an Upper Cervical Chiropractic practice in the next year.  We will form a mastermind group where we can share ideas, work on grand opening campaigns, find money, celebrate wins, overcome obstacles and ultimately facilitate the growth of Upper Cervical Chiropractors across the world.

Are you starting an Upper Cervical Practice in the next year?

Step 1 – Please send an email to me at drdarrenwhite@mac.com letting me know when and where you are opening a practice.  Please also include your Technique preference.

Step 2 – Please log on to DreamPractice.ning.com and update your profile as this will be where the group is hosted.  If you are NOT a member please email me for access as this is a closed group.

Step 3 – Polish or at least have a rough business plan ready.  If you need help please check out the Dream Practice Business Plan inside the Dream Practice Blueprint here.

If you know someone who is opening a practice in the next year please forward this post to them.

Onward and Upward,
Dr. Darren White

Let’s keep the discussion going,
Dr.Darren White

On a casual visit to Dr. Kuhn’s office, I got the news……. A legend had passed. After the news, I spent a day reflecting about what that Dr. Weldon Muncy meant to me personally, and what that one man meant to the Blair upper cervical movement. I will start with my personal experiences with the MAN, Dr. Muncy.

Dr. Muncy was a man who was driven by a principle, and his actions spoke much louder than his words. He was in my opinion one of the greatest Upper Cervical doctors that has ever stepped foot on this planet. He had talents that could be seen and felt but not taught.

Dr. Weldon Muncy

Almost two decades ago I was in side lash injury. Unfortunately, during that same time my Blair had doctor sustained the same type of injury and was having trouble clearing me. I have always said that Upper Cervical Adjusting is an athletic event. For one to be at the top of his game he must be physiologically there also. So, to digress, my case was not clearing and I was referred to this man, Dr. Muncy. It was a five hour drive to Lancaster, the last hour of which was on a god-forsaken two lane highway in the middle of the high desert. I was desperate and hoped that this man would change my life, or at least allow it to be at peace!

So I pulled up to this one story building that appeared to be more of a prison than an Upper Cervical office. And then I stepped through that front door and out walked a THE MAN, Dr. Muncy. A steely demeanor, short of words but brimmed with confidence. After spending just a few moments with the MAN, you knew that he knew what he was doing.

I was x-rayed and adjusted… within an hour my foggy head turned into a clear headed sane individual. My thoughts turned from negative and pessimistic, to optimistic and hopeful. Once again I had been cleared, and this time my life’s path would be driven in a new direction.

For the next 5 years I was under Dr. Muncy’s care. It was a privilege to not only live life free of brainstem pressure, but to be in a master’s presence. I had the opportunity to take several seminars from him, and the conviction with which he taught bled through his every word.

Dr. Muncy with Dr. Pierce

Some of you may know that Doctor Muncy suffered from a myriad of health issues prior to Upper Cervical Care. At a young age he was in three major accidents within 3 weeks. One was a head-on collision that nearly killed his mom. As the story goes, a drunk hit them head on at 50 MPH. His mom was scalped, and he was ejected toward the ceiling -sustaining a major ATLAS subluxation. Clearly that event would be the genesis that would shape the rest of his life.

For the next several years his posture dramatically worsened. He had aches and pains through his entire body for which he sought full spine care. As Dr. Muncy put it, “I was grateful for the full spine care. I was adjusted once a week throughout my whole spine which helped tremendously with the pain.”

It was only later that he was working on the electrical in an office that just happened to be an HIO UC doctor. The doctor checked doctor Muncy, x-rayed him and adjusted him. He made great strides over the next two years under HIO care. He held his first adjustment for two years, if my recollection is right. After holding for 18 months a healing crescendo occurred that undoubtedly gave Dr. Muncy some of the conviction that he held for all these years for the principle and practice of Upper Cervical Blair Chiropractic. He awoke one morning and when he stood up his shoulders were wretched backwards and his entire thoracic spinal musculature was in complete spasm. Dr. Muncy would say,” I walked around like superman for six weeks and it wasn’t on purpose!” After the cycle of repair relented his posture was more erect than it had been in ten years. It was that experience that made him finally decide that UC was his future path. He had a poignant way of talking about his experiences and this postural change was the pivotal one for him and his future. AS Dr. Muncy put it, “It was quite simple after that. I took the kids and my wife and said we are going to Davenport! “And so he did.

After graduating Palmer he practiced HIO as BJ taught at the college. It wasn’t until later that he met Dr. Blair and under his tutelage became one of the most respected Upper Cervical doctors this world has ever known. The idea that the cervical spine, and, for that matter, the entire body is asymmetrical rang true for Dr. Muncy. He always use to say that each individual is unique, and so you must take a custom set of x-rays unique to that individual’s anatomy. Blair’s great discovery was how one can ascertain a correct vertebral misalignment when analyising the spine. He realized that all of the analysis systems within chiropractic were based on a symmetric model, and thus were prone to inherent error. Dr. Blair discovered a unique analysis that looked at the outer portion of the atlas articulation with its correspondent the condyle. By viewing this outer edge one can ascertain the true vertebral misalignment even if the bone structure is completely different form left to right.

Dr. Muncy carried on Bill Blair’s mission. He was hand picked by Bill Blair to carry on his work. And that is what Dr. Muncy did. Without Dr. Muncy, it is questionable whether the work would be where it is today. He worked tirelessly and taught the principle that saved his life, and the lives of thousands of others in his office.

Dr. Muncy will be missed by many. He was not only one of the best UC docs that has stepped foot on planet earth, but he was also a man with a huge heart. It was obvious that he cared deeply about those he took care of. One of his sayings that will always stick with me is this,” You take care of each and every person in your office as if they were your mom, your child, or your wife.” And that is what Dr. Muncy did. Dr. Muncy may be gone but his spirit and dedication lives on. And it is our job as Blair Upper Cervical Chiropractors to carry on Bill Blair and Dr. Muncy’s work. You will be missed Dr. Muncy. We all will never ever forget what you have done for us. RIP

Dr. Drew Hall

May 31st is going to be a very big day for Specific Chiropractic! Will you join us for this monumental day? We have invited some of the most successful and influential Specific Chiropractors from around the country to fly in and share their success secrets with you.

Not only that, for the first time ever, Dr. Shawn Dill will be opening up his “inner circle” and allowing unprecedented insight into the details behind the creation of the innovative marketing plan recently put into place at The Specific Chiropractic Center.

We will also be unveiling the details behind The Specific Chiropractic Alliance, a unique opportunity to partner with us in bringing the vision to the Bay Area and beyond! We have done all of the work. We just need you to adjust the patients!

Who you will be hearing from:

Dr. B.J. Kale - Son of Michael Kale, D.C., founder of the Kale Network and promotor of the Knee Chest Solid Headpiece Upper Cervical Toggle Recoil technique. Dr. Michael Kale was responsible for providing Dr. Dill his initial training in Upper Cervical Specific and provided the foundation upon which everything else was built. Dr. B.J. Kale will be sharing the lineage specific concepts behind the creation, preservation and now promotion of the technique utilized in the B.J. Palmer Research Center.

Dr. Andy Roberts - Dr. Roberts worked for over five years in Costa Rica as Dr. Dill’s “right hand man”. He served as the Director of the Chiropractic Division of Dr. Dill’s company, Quiropractica Mundial, S.A., and has been an important consultant and mentor to Dr. Dill since the beginning. Dr. Roberts will be sharing his wealth of wisdom in the area of Upper Cervical Specific.

Dr. Darren White – Dr. White is a role model and someone who Dr. Dill constantly monitors in an attempt to “keep up” with his innovative business concepts. Dr. White is the innovative leader behind the Achieving Wellness Centers, Own Your Own Dream Practice and Worksite Wellness.

The day will conclude with the answer to everyone’s pressing question, “Where are you going with all of this?” Hear Dr. Dill’s vision for Specific Chiropractic and find out how you can be a part of the movement.

In conclusion, let us tell you this without any added effects. It is just this simple:

Success Principles for the Specific Chiropractor
Saturday, May 31, 2008
9:00 am – 7:00 pm
Pleasanton Hilton Hotel
$249 (Lunch and snacks provided)

$199 if paid by May 1st

$149 for graduates of the That Something Coaching Program (Special VIP reception following the seminar)

Attendance will be limited to the first 50 people to register. We will be in the amphitheatre of the Pleasanton Hilton Hotel. While this will allow for an intimate and comfortable experience for everyone, this definitively limits our capacity at 50. Once we reach 50 we will not be able to accomodate anyone else. Please do not put us in the uncomfortable position of having to deny your registration because you have procrastinated.

You are receiving this email because we have identified you as someone who we want to be involved in this very special day. Every one of you knows that we will not be publicizing this event to every Tom, Dick and Clarence in the profession. This event is only for those who are serious about The Specific. While we work hard to identify those who have demonstrated a commitment to the work, we obviously do not know everyone out there who is quietly dedicated to promoting The Specific around the world. So, please feel free to forward this on to your own “inner circle” of colleagues who inspire you and would benefit from this experience.

If you are ready to register, please contact Dr. Paige Van Slooten at 925-560-0700 to reserve your seat. Remember, we can only accomodate the first 50 people who call.

Sincerely,

The Specific Chiropractic Alliance
