In January, we recognized the need for a new director of the CEA and hired Shawna Kay in 2022. This new staff acquisition has brought an upped level of energy to our headquarters in Boise, Idaho and aids itself to many exciting positive changes within our organization. If you haven’t explored our website (www.councilonextremityadjusting.com), poke around and check out the updated feel, products, and many new upcoming seminar series! We also encourage you to like our Facebook page @CouncilOnExtremityAdjusting and Twitter profile @CEAcouncil for seminar updates and opportunities to interact with us through the platforms.

For those of you who have already obtained your CCEP, we congratulate you on this achievement and are looking forward to continued partnership with you and your practices. We are working hard to update many aspects of our system to better reflect your information and membership in an accurate, professional manner. With this comes a big update to our CCEP Locator, a function many of you are familiar with. Starting this summer of 2020, we will be removing all CCEPs who have not paid current 2020 CEA dues. In this, it is our goal to promote CCEPs who are actively giving back to their communities and contributing to the education we are providing. With over 20,000 views, the CCEP Locator is one of our most utilized web assets and has proven valuable for many of our partner CCEPs.

Foot, Gait, & Orthotics Sale!

For the month of April, we are offering 30% off and FREE shipping on our popular Foot, Gait, & Orthotics lineup. Whether you’re spending time at home or still in the office, we are excited to bring you these amazing resources at a discounted price.

Is Becoming a C.C.E.P. Worth It?

The C.C.E.P (Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner) seminars teach how diagnosis and treatment are made simple through understanding the biomechanical functions of each joint. Clinical findings are discussed and demonstrated in these intensive hands-on seminars. Many mysterious pains in the shoulder and thorax are discovered in class and fixed before your eyes with procedures you can perform on your patients. Learn how taking a deep breath can be made easy. Take away breast pains that are plaguing your patients. Discover how to actually fix anterior dorsal. Get rid of false angina pains. Learn why chronic cervical subluxations may be a result of T.M.J. or rib subluxations. Our complete seminar series will equip you with the knowledge and tools to start a more complete healing of your patients.


The Founder Dr. Kevin Hearon is an internationally acclaimed expert on extremity adjusting, gait and foot orthotics. He has taught on 13 postgraduate faculties and has published four books, 15 DVDs and a wall chart. Doctors at all levels of athletics have taken courses from Dr. Hearon since 1980. He is the president of the Council on Extremity Adjusting, an international educational organization dedicated to equipping chiropractors in the treatment of extremities.

 

Part 1: Q and A with Dr. Hearon on New Advanced Orthotics Class

Dr. Hearon began working on the course outline for what would become the Advanced Orthotics course many years ago.  Recently he finished it and we've got the second class  scheduled for  February 25-28, 2015.

Recently I asked Dr. Hearon a few questions about the new course; here's the first part of that interview:

Q.  What are the financial benefits to a DC in their practice if they become an expert in Advanced Orthotics and Foot Adjusting? In other words, what does a typical Foot Gait and Orthotics patient case study look like in your local market of Boise, Idaho?

A.  Here’s what we do in my practice in Boise; I charge $75 for the exam fee for 10 minutes work, my adjustment fee is $60 for one minute of work, my orthotic fee ranges from $120 to $305, with an average of $255 for one pair. A follow up office visit one week out is typically $60 plus a few more visits, if necessary.  Keep in mind this is what I charge for these services.  Your fees may be more or less, depending on your market and other factors.

So we charge $390 for 30 to 45 minutes of work and a follow up of $60 a week later, for a total of $450 for one hour of work. If your pricing was similar to mine, you would need to see 6 patients at $70 a visit to match this income.  Do you want to work harder or smarter?  My cost in materials is a maximum of $80 (yours may be slightly more or less).

Q.  What other benefits are there for a DC to become an expert in this area?

A.  The whole baby boomer population is a walking nightmare from gait problems not fixed and degenerated. They are looking for answers and want to avoid surgery, if it is not too late. The younger generation needs to be educated about the danger coming to avoid these problems readily visible. It is predictable with a good foot exam. The 'monkeys paw' is doing the foot exam and telling them what’s coming.

Most DCs have a stigma about working on people's feet.  I'm living proof, along with many of our CCEPs, that the feet provide more opportunities to truly help patients and get paid handsomely for it than any other extremity.  Becoming an expert in Advanced Orthotics and Foot Adjusting is the best way to lift yourself well above the competition in your marketplace, in my opinion.
