For this episode, I had to enlist the help of one of the best chiropractors, consultants and speakers I know, Dr. Pam Jarboe of ChiroBloom. 

I had the fortune of speaking on the same platform with her this past year at ChiroEurope and within moments, a lifelong friendship had formed.

On this episode, Dr. Pam helps me dig into what Dr. James Sigafoose is speaking about, when he talks about "Practice Building."

Dr. Pamela Jarboe practices chiropractic with her husband, Dr. Stephen Jarboe. She began her chiropractic career working as an assistant for a chiropractor in 1986. She traveled into Harlem, NY with her boss; adjusting children who were drug addicted, had AIDS or were abandoned as babies. Inspired by the many changes she witnessed in this practice, especially in herself, she decided to switch from her writing education and attend Life Chiropractic University, graduating as a Doctor of Chiropractic in 1995.

Her goal is to support you in creating the practice and life you dreamed of.

To create a thoughtfully successful practice demands many different skills. Having enthusiasm and passion are great, but often tools like business acumen, mad sick marketing skills, communication clarity, team leading ability and maintaining a clear head space are required. Her unique approach gives you modern tools to help keep you current in today’s marketplace.

So sit back and get ready to be amazed at her incredible ability to not only educate, but to entertain as well.

Love,

Dr. Carey & Dr. Pam

Have your listened to a speaker or an audio recording where the presenter has left your head spinning? Well today my sister Veronique and her husband Nick and I listened to my fathers consultation call we called "The Law." 

In this episode he talks about the Law Of Life and how this relates to how we produce a product, much the same way an orange tree produces fruit. Not only that, but how we must not be concerned about the outcome of what we do and only focus on the source of the supply.

Innate is the source and and what we do is our supply. As long as we can be connected to that source, we will have a never ending supply.

Deep, so deep I think you will have to listen to this over and over.

Love,

Dr. Carey

"Here It Is," wraps up one of my fathers best consultation calls ever, in my opinion.

Here we see how selling yourself is not just about who you are or how you dress, it is about how simple you make it for your patients to understand what it is we do.

I firmly believe that the best way to grow your practice is by internal referrals, via your patients. The more simple the story you tell them the easier it is for them to tell it to their friends and family and that my friend is how you get GREAT referrals.

I would like to also state that today starts our Black Friday event on Sigafoose.com,From NOW till Monday, you can get all of my fathers doctor and patient education material for $2000. If bought separately it would be over $15,000 and if you did our regular membership of $99 per month you would spend over $3600.

So don't miss out on the chance to be taught by one of the Greatest Chiropractic Philosophers who ever graced our profession.

Thanks For Listening,

Dr. Carey

When you adjust, what is your consciousness? What is your state of mind? What is your intent?

Are you adjusting to just move the bone, or is it to reconnect your patients innate to Universal Intelligence and hence reconnecting the invisible to the visible?

I truly feel the concept of, "if you can see it you can have it," also applies to seeing health flow through your patients. If you can see the health in your patient then they can have it.

What is your Consciousness when you make that thrust?

Love,

Dr. Carey

How do you sell yourself? Are you being you, or are you being who everyone thinks you should be?

As Dr. Sigafoose says, "Don't be a freak, but be who you are." You have to stand out in the crowd to get noticed, but when you do, you have to deliver your message, in a way that is true to you and to the message itself.

Love,

Dr. Carey

I am not meant to understand everything, I am not meant to know how or why something works or happens. That does not mean that I have not seen how things can come to someone from the invisible to the visible. In fact I have not only seen it in my own life, but in others as well.

In this episode, Dr. James Sigafoose, covers the concept of, "If you can see it you can have it." PLUS, a whole lot of other things that I am still trying to make sense of at the moment.

I highly suggest that you book mark this episode, and every time you feel that you are slipping in practice or in life, come back to it and listen to it again so you can get back on track.

Lots Of Love,

Dr. Carey

Are you doing in office workshops to further educate your patients on what we do as chiropractors? 

In this episode, we listen to a clip of Dr. James Sigafoose's, "doctor education video," designed to help doctors learn how to use his flip chart, now a powerpoint presentation, in the office. 

This entire program is now available on Sigafoose.com, but even if you do not use it in your office with your patients, this is an excellent tool for you to use to educate yourself and your staff on what CHIROPRACTIC is and why it is so important to be under chiropractic care.

Love yea,

Dr. Carey

Have you ever thought about someone and then they call? How about when you think about a patient that has not been in for a while and then they show up at the office on the same day. 

This is what my father and BJ called the "Law." If you open yourself up to the universe around you, you will be amazed at what it is trying to tell you and how it is trying to help you as well.

Just do yourself a favor and make sure the back of the house, YOU, are clear and organized so that when what you ask for starts to present itself, you are ready to receive it.

Lot Of Love,

Dr. Carey

You got me! Yes, I love to use a play on words when I title the episodes, and this week is no exception. If you get it, leave me a note, either on the Facebook page or at SigTalks.com underneath the episode. 

This episode has been a long time coming, and to be honest, I was not ready to listen to it 3 years ago, but now I can listen and I can learn from it, even though I have different thoughts on religion then my father, the information and the way I interpret it, make complete and utter sense to me now.

So have a listen and let me know what you get out of it this week?

Dr. Carey

Hello Netherlands! So here is our first episode made here in our new home of the Netherlands. I picked this episode, because it is where I am at the moment. 

You see I moved here to work with my friend, Dr. Matt Schaer, and the only place to start, when you start in a new office, is from the beginning. So that is why education of ones self, as well as ones patients, is the most important job we have as CHIROPRACTORS! 

In this episode you will hear, Dr. James Sigafoose, talk about why an educated patient is a patient for LIFE. Now, don't get me wrong, he talks about a whole lot of other things as well, I am just speaking about when my head had to hear.

What did your head hear?

Love,

Dr. Carey

Are you just another "John" wondering through life, thinking that your and your knowledge knows what is best, yet you are constantly failing at everything you do; Practice, Relationship, Health...?

Have you ever thought of letting INNATE direct you from within?

If this confuses you, think of it this way, "The Universe in all of its wonderful chaos, knows what it is doing, and that includes pointing you in the right direction!

Still confused? Take a minute and listen to what Dr. Sigafoose has to say about it all.

Ok, you all caught me! Yes I love "The Wizard Of Oz" it was a yearly show we all watched as a family, but it does fit here, because just like Lions, and Tigers and Bears, CA's and Screenings and God, can be things that we are all afraid or intimidated by. 

In this episode Dr. Sigafoose talks to us from the stage at Parker Seminar and the three topics in this clip that he talks about, can all come back to one thing. FEAR. Fear of letting go and hiring a GREAT CA, fear of marketing your practice and yourself and fear of realizing that there is a higher power that is in control of this Universe we call home.

The Principal Is Alive And Well!

I found an old cassette tape series, in one of the last boxes of my fathers works and it is AMAZING! 

Chiropractic is chiropractic, simply means, that there is no specialty type of chiropractic, there is just principled chiropractic. I always thought that being a subluxation based chiropractor was good, well as usual, my father proved me wrong.

I highly suggest you take a listen and find out for yourself.

Dr. Carey

What is chiropractic?

What is the subluxation?

It is simple, chiropractic is the finding and the correction of subluxations and the subluxation is a nerve that is being impinged by a bone above it or below it or both, that decreases the flow of information from the brain to whatever cell that, that nerve goes to.

End of story.

Dr. Carey

Finding myself will always be the most difficult thing I have ever done, but in finding myself, I found out who I was and what I was and most importantly, I found where I fit in this world we call chiropractic.

In this episode, Dr. James Sigafoose reads from the Greenbooks and you are not going to want to miss one second of it, because if you are having a hard time knowing who you are and where you fit, in service to your patients and yourself, then get ready for a wonderfully bumpy ride.

Dr. Carey Pabouet-Sigafoose

Hello and welcome to season 3 of Sigtalks. Let's just jump right in here and say I hope you have enjoyed the past two season and this season I want to dedicate every single episode to you. Because at the end of the day, that is what SigTalks is all about. Helping you become a better philosophically sound chiropractor. So with that I will say again, Welcome to season 3 of Sigtalks.

Now for the meat! What is the reason you adjust? Is it for RESULTS? 

If it is, then you are in it for the wrong reason. If it is for finding and adjusting the SUBLUXATION, then press play and have a listen to what Dr. James Sigafoose has to say about it it.

Love Yea All,

Dr. Carey

Hello Summer Break!

OK, that is not what this episode is about, it is about the divine melody, or the spark of creation that hits us all, when we take the time to listen for it.

Sometimes if we take the time to calm ourselves and listen to the innate voice inside us all, we will hear what the universe is trying to tell us.

The key though is to shut the hell up long enough to hear it.

I hope you enjoy this weeks episode and that you take the time to just listen, not only to what Dr. Sig is saying, but to the little voice that is inside of you.

I will see you in four weeks, we are heading to Greece and the Netherlands for our summer vacation, so in the mean time, keep giving, loving, doing and serving.

Dr. Carey

When we are not philosophically sound, we lose sight on what it is we do. We need to remember that when we specifically adjust the spine, we increase the communication from the brain to whatever area of the body that nerve goes to.

Our job as chiropractors is to find the subluxation, adjust it, than maintain that correction long enough, until the innate processes takes over again.

That's it!

Dr. Carey 

What will it take until you realize that, you ARE INNATE? What is it going to take until you realize that we are NOT back pain doctors? We are not physical therapist or Bells Palsy specialist or geriatric practitioners or pediatric specialist. 

We are CHIROPRACTORS, we find SUBLUXATIONS, we correct them and that is it! We allow the body to do what it is supposed to do without interference and in doing so, we reconnect man the physical to what it is that created it. 

INNATE is easy, don't make it more difficult then it has to be. That is what I took away from this episode. What did you take away?

Dr. Carey

Wishful thinking never got anyone anywhere! I didn't used to think that, but that is when I was actively trying to drink myself to death, so we all know how much we can trust that person.

This episode, is my father explaining the difference between wishful thinking and envisioning what it is you want for you and for your practice. It is also a great first step towards understanding what it is you need to do to take your practice from wherever it is to exactly where you ENVISION it to be, not where you wish it was.

Take a few moments and have a listen and when your are done, take my suggestion at the end and head on over to www.Sigafoose.com and join Sigafoose Weekly. I promise you will not regret it.

Dr. Carey

Is Innate in your garden? How about in your cat or dog? Is Innate in the fish in the ocean or the sequoias of California? If Innate is in all living things, then I think the answer to all of my questions is YES! 

There is intelligence in all living matter, now that does not mean it knows how to drive a car or build a skyscraper, but then again we don't know how to change the color of our skin like a Chameleon. 

So seeing that there is intelligence in all living matter, doesn't that mean it may want to live or survive or continue to propagate itself? Well if you made it this far into my rant, I suggest that you listen to what my father has to say about it all.

Side note, this episode is one where I pretty much agree with everything my father, Dr. Sig, has to say.

Miracles never cease! (LOL)

Dr. Carey

Innate, Innate, Innate! That seems to be what my topics have been about lately, I guess because overtime I listen to one of my fathers recordings, that seems to be what he is talking about, so that must be what I am supposed to be hearing and working on.

This week Dr. Sigafoose talks about Innate and Materialistic and Ideological thinking. Now if you are confused with that, it is like Mechanistic and Vitalistic, or pain base versus subluxation based. You getting the point? If not then let me try to explain it to you this way.

Materialistic, is basically understanding chiropractic science and art, but not totally understanding the philosophy, yet you might try, but you don't educate your patients about it. 

Ideological, is understanding the science, art and philosophical part of chiropractic and understanding the connection of Innate and the spirit/religious aspect and or nature of what it is we do.

You know what, just listen and let me know what you think it means.

Dr. Carey

If your first response to explaining INNATE to your patients is why? Than maybe this episode is for you! If your patients do not understand innate, than most likely they are not going to stay with you much beyond their symptoms going away.

My father always equated Universal Intelligence with God, I LOVE this, but I don't actually explain it in the same manner. 

You see, just as our patients don't have to believe in chiropractic in order for it to work, you don't have to believe that innate and universal intelligence is God in order to understand that it controls and coordinates every aspect of our lives.

I don't call Innate, God's, expression of himself in man, but I do know that innate is that knowledge that is within our cell's that I can not control.

What do think about Innate and how do you explain it to your patients.

4.54 Billion years, that is a rough estimate of the age of planet Earth. The Universe is approximately 14 billion years old, plus or minus 200 million years, so when I say Universal Intelligence, I am saying that there is approximately 14 BILLION years of knowledge in each and every single cell in our bodies.

Now that knowledge when it enters the human form is called Innate Intelligence, that Innate Intelligence, is what is guiding and coordinating every single aspect of our lives. That knowledge comes from our brain and down through our spine and out to our nervous system and literally tells our cells what to do.

That my friends is what we should be telling our patients, not, "Hey I can fix your back pain!"

I hope you enjoy this episode.

Love Dr. Carey Pabouet-Sigafoose
