A Doctor's Perspective Podcast

Justin Trosclair, DC explains adjustment research, his 3 year integrative Hospital job in China, marketing for success, coaches, divorce lessons, interracial marriage with cultural differences, 21 point neck adjustment and authoring books. Dr Justin Trosclair had 3 main reasons on becoming a Doctor of Chiropractic. He graduated from Louisiana State University, LSU – Geaux Tigers and from Texas Chiropractic College a medipractor school outside of Houston, TX. He goes through his take on innate intelligence, what does the research say about what is actually occurring when a joint is moved by a chiropractic manipulation or adjustment. Does Dr. Justin feel like rehab, cold laser and spinal decompression are important in the clinic? Dr. Trosclair discusses how and why he recommends the type and amount of care he does and how to communicate with the patients about the top 4 questions they all have and touches briefly on maintenance care. Hear his advice on why he moved away from home and purchased a clinic in a city and state that he knew no one. As far as marketing goes, he recommends bni.com, networking events, social media (he discusses two techniques to maximize Instagram and facebook), marketing directly to medical doctors and also discusses some poor marketing choices. Hiring a coach or having a mentor is highly important to him and listen to what he thinks you should look for in that decision. Students should create a club that brings local mentor level local doctors to the school once a month and give a seminar. What is his 21 Point Upper Neck Headache Scan? He was certified in Activator Methods for many years during his time in Colorado (learn more at his clinic site) and is now a Certified Instrument Adjustor by Neuromechanical Innovations, home of the Impulse IQ adjusting instruments. Dr. Justin opens up and discusses his divorce, the impact it had on the clinic, his decision to embrace counseling and a great divorce recovery group and how his Christianity was affected and the importance of small groups. What was the reason for moving to China to work in a hospital job especially since he doesn’t speak Chinese? Why has he been there for 3 years? He discusses what it’s like to work in a hospital job and how to get around and communicate with a full time translator at your side. How do you stay in contact with people back home and avoid or deal with home sickness and not being able to communicate well. Part of the reasons for a China Hospital job after selling the Colorado clinic was: cultural experience, travel, getting hospital interdisciplinary experience that may land him a great integrative DC/ PT job or a hospital job in USA at some point in the future, and save money so he can potentially open his own clinic one day without a bank loan. In his free time he wrote a book Today’s Choices, Tomorrow’s Health: Small steps to improve health, food choices and exercise. He talks a bit about that and you can visit this page to watch a great video explaining it more.

A lot of the story is based on his own personal experience and the blueprints he created for himself that can be used by others. Dr. Justin is writing a no needle acupuncture book and his cohost JingJing, JJ, shares more about that for him.
