What if the biggest mistake chiropractors are making isn't their marketing...
It's believing they always need more new patients?
In this eye-opening episode of The Chiropractic Philanthropist Revival Series, Dr. Ed Osburn sits down with upper cervical chiropractor, entrepreneur, and Care2Grow Consulting founder Dr. Larry Arbeitman to challenge one of the profession's biggest assumptions.
After more than two decades in practice—and over 300,000 chiropractic adjustments—Dr. Larry has built a thriving, high-retention practice where patient relationships, compassion, and authentic connection have become the primary drivers of growth.
In fact, his practice recently produced a six-figure month with only three new patients.
This conversation isn't about marketing hacks.
It's about rediscovering the heart of chiropractic.
Dr. Larry shares why compassion isn't just good for patients—it's one of the most powerful business strategies a chiropractor can implement. Together, he and Dr. Ed explore patient retention, practice culture, burnout, leadership, upper cervical chiropractic, and why putting care back into healthcare may be the profession's greatest opportunity.
