In our youth, it would have been ideal to be handed a crystal ball and set off red flags to alert us of the impending damage that our bodies would experience during our life span. We could then begin to plan "preventative maintenance" of our system to avert irreversible problems. Unfortunately, the reasons for our back pain problems are made aware to us in our later years by medical professionals following that dreaded doctor's visit.

Ultimately the doctor or provider is responsible for the advertising they run. Don't expect a marketing firm, a media outlet, or anyone else to accept responsibility for your mistakes. In the end you as a healthcare provider are responsible for the content of your advertising. It is your license and reputation which are on the line. Market ethically or don't do it at all!

Curb Your Enthusiasm: We both know decompression is great. As healthcare providers we are convinced decompression can help our patients. It is important to remember to keep our passion and confidence in decompression in check. Communicate your confidence in decompression, but remember that nothing is guaranteed. This leads us to tip number four.

Analyze your Current Marketing: In this step, you need to take a critical look at ALL of your current marketing efforts. Before you can successfully plan any changes to your marketing plan, you need to know where you stand. You have to know where you are at before you know where you are going!

The question then becomes how to treat the patient's particular problem. Depending on the patient's diagnosis and demise, he will be advised of his options as to the best treatment program by medical professionals.

Profit is a factor in the equation, but it shouldn't be the driving force behind your marketing. One of the fastest ways to start marketing unethically is to market only to make money. Focus on bringing in patients into your practice that you want to help.

It is not implied that this person should attempt to diagnose his back pain problem nor should he take medications that are not prescribed by his doctor for his particular back pain condition. He can embark on a program of self-administered natural health supplements and treatment kit instead of damaging NSAIDS as mentioned earlier. He can pursue corrective exercises and activities which are assisted or self-administered under the direction and resources of spine medical facilities or professional health organizations such as the Back Pain Institute.
