With seven clinics and a $12 million organization under his belt, Dr. Phil reveals what it really takes to scale a practice, develop principled chiropractors, and stay ahead of the cultural curve in healthcare. From corporate wellness to chiropractic politics to cultivating the next generation of docs, this episode blends bold truth with timeless strategy.https://chirohustle.com/chiropractic-business-making-impacts-with-dr-phil-golinsky-dc-chiro-hustle-podcast-700/HIGHLIGHTS●      Dr. Phil shares how he grew RxWellness into a $12 million, multi-clinic practice, earning a spot on the Inc. 5000 in both 2023 and 2024.●      Learn how he's mentored over 500 chiropractors and what his rigorous internal training process looks like.●      Why only 10% of DCs who apply get hired at RxWellness.●      A candid breakdown of why chiropractic colleges are failing future docs and what must change.●      Insight into his monthly "hot seat" training sessions and why clarity of communication is the cornerstone of trust.●      How RFK Jr.'s appointment to HHS and the shifting cultural pendulum are creating huge opportunities for natural healthcare.●      Why state-level political involvement is the key to protecting medical freedom and chiropractic autonomy.ABOUT DR.

Years before the pandemic, Big Pharma insiders already anticipated the cultural shift and now, with RFK Jr. in a major HHS role, the opportunity for chiropractic to lead is bigger than ever.Building an Elite Chiropractic Team With 28 doctors on staff, Dr. Phil details why RxWellness only hires the top 10% of applicants. His process includes 6-week intensive training, 500+ reps per technique, and monthly evaluations under pressure. Associates aren’t just onboarded, they’re transformed.

He underscores the power of local political involvement, emphasizing that winning votes often come down to a few dozen supporters. "State-level laws shape your practice far more than national ones," he says. Strategic relationships with future governors and legislators are how we future-proof chiropractic.Fixing the Chiropractic Education Crisis Dr. Phil doesn’t hold back on his critique of chiropractic education today. He points to the decline in hands-on experience, passion, and technique wars that once shaped elite chiropractors. He challenges the profession to return to fundamentals, citing Reggie Gold, Arno Burnier, and Fred Barge as essential voices for any DC looking to reclaim the profession's soul.CLOSING THOUGHT If chiropractors are to lead the health revolution, they must train harder, speak louder, and reconnect with the very reasons they got into this profession. As Dr. Phil reminds us, "You might be the one who gives a life-changing adjustment that defines chiropractic for someone forever. So make it count."_________________________________________#chiropractic #chiropracticcare #chiropracticadjustment #chiropracticworks #chiropracticmarketing #chiropracticassistant #ChiropracticCares #chiropractichealth #chiropractics #chiropracticneurology #chiropracticcollege #chiropract

Now, his focus is empowering chiropractors to grow or exit their practices with clarity, strategy, and legacy in mind.DIVING INTO LEGACY, VALUATION, AND FREEDOMRedefining the Exit Plan Most chiropractors don’t sell their practice because they don’t know where to go or who to trust. Jimmy and his team are out to change that. Whether you're one year or ten years from retirement, Bridge Financial helps DCs prepare with certified valuations, practice health diagnostics, and strategic exit mapping.Why Business Health Matters Would you buy a home without an inspection?

Jimmy introduces the Business Health Score; a holistic snapshot that measures a clinic's strengths and weaknesses, from lead generation to operational efficiency. It's a wake-up call that every chiropractor needs.Freedom of Choice, Backed by Data In a world where freedom is under constant pressure, the freedom to grow, sell, or transition your practice on your terms is revolutionary.

In episode 691 of the Chiro Hustle Podcast, James Chester welcomes Dr. Jason Alviene, Vice President of Operations at 100% Chiropractic. With over 25 years in the field, Dr. Jason brings a unique perspective that bridges hands-on chiropractic care with large-scale operations leadership. This episode covers everything from corporate chiropractic strategy to mindset, communication, and why hospitality might be one of the most underrated tools in a chiropractor’s toolkit.HIGHLIGHTS• From massage therapist to Vice President of Operations, Dr. Alviene shares the pivotal moment that sent him down the chiropractic path.• Why hospitality experience might matter more than previous clinical experience when hiring CAs.• The importance of making it about the you, not the we - aka “The Paris Syndrome”.• His advice for new DCs: develop people skills through high-end service roles and communication training.• Why follow-up and lead management are make-or-break skills in modern practice growth.• Thoughts, traumas, and toxins - and why the “thoughts” piece is often ignored in chiropractic care.• A compelling vision for the future: cash-based practices, preceptorships, and a new wave of hands-on, competent adjusters.ABOUT DR. JASON ALVIENEDr. Jason Alviene, DC, MS, is the Vice President of Operations at 100% Chiropractic and a long-time educator in chiropractic, massage therapy, and sports medicine. With experience ranging from The Joint Chiropractic to academia, Dr. Alviene brings a wide-angle lens to the profession with a focus on operational excellence and patient-centric care.DIVING INTO ...CORPORATE CHIROPRACTIC OPERATIONSDr. Alviene’s current role is trailblazing a new path in chiropractic corporate leadership. As 100% Chiropractic’s first-ever VP of Operations, he works closely with doctor-owned and non-doctor-owned offices to streamline systems and amplify patient care. His approach is simple yet powerful: empower the team, clarify the message, and lead with service.THE POWER OF COMMUNICATION AND HOSPITALITYA standout moment in this episode is the concept of “The Paris Syndrome.” Dr. Jason challenges chiropractors to stop saying “we do this” and start saying “you get to experience this.” His emphasis on language highlights the subconscious psychological impact of personalized care. He draws a compelling connection between successful CAs and backgrounds in hospitality, like bartending and concierge service, where reading and connecting with people is second nature.TACKLING THOUGHTS, TRAUMAS, AND TOXINSWhile most chiropractors are trained to address traumas and toxins, Dr. Alviene points out that the “thoughts” element is often neglected. He advocates for chiropractors to help patients connect the dots between emotional blocks and their physical health. His perspective? Adjust the spine, yes, but also help guide the mindset. This is a bold yet necessary expansion of chiropractic’s role in holistic health.MARKETING AND LEAD FOLLOW-UP: A PRACTICE GROWTH ESSENTIALDr. Jason doesn’t shy away from practical strategy either. He emphasizes the critical nature of timely lead response, ongoing follow-up, and creating systems that support high conversion rates. His advice: call every lead like they’ve already said yes and never assume a patient is a “no” until they tell you directly. Smart, sharp, and service-oriented.CLOSING THOUGHT “If a patient isn’t thriving, it might not just be the subluxation. It might be the story they’re telling themselves.”_________________________________________#chiropractic #chiropracticcare #chiropracticadjustment #chiropracticworks #chiropracticmarketing #chiropracticassistant #ChiropracticCares #chiropractichealth #chiropractics #chiropracticneurology #chiropracticcollege #chiropracticdubai #chiropracticlifestyle #chiropracticforlife #chiropracticajustment #chiropracticforkid
