Updated: January 2021
I speak with thousands of doctors each year about chiropractic marketing. Most offices are struggling to produce the number of new patients they want to have. I created this list of 65 chiropractic marketing ideas to help inspire your creative juices.
Before starting Inception Online Marketing my wife and I averaged over 80 new patients per month. There's nothing special about us, but we are focused and dedicated people. I promise if you commit enough time to chiropractic marketing you will have success.
