I'm curious about why so many clinics are located in chiropractors' offices. I've been trying to track down a clinic near me without any luck, so I couldn't attend a clinic if I wanted to. I still wonder what the connection is since the few I do have in my state are at a chiropractor.

Are these clinics a franchise? I see that clinics not located in chiropractors offices have some "ideal" spin to the name, and are somewhat modified to fit the business while still maintaining the core of the program. They have entirely different websites and marketing approaches.

I'm new to this program (doing alternatives), and just wanting to find out more info.

The clinics themselves are not affiliated with each other (mine is a chiro that is affiliated with the hospital I work for, a friend of mine did IP through another chiro a half mile away) but the doc's offices pay for the licensing and product access to sell the program. I am not sure why they target chriopractors to "host" the program, but it'd be interesting to know!

I too am at a chrio's office but that is because he was already my chiro. I had seen Ideal protien advertised at a Dr office I was looking into for my PCP because we had just moved. I hadn't done a lot of looking into it yet, then when I went in to my chiro office he had a poster on the wall. So I signed up with him. I figured it would be better to go with some one I knew and trusted. Besides his office is next door to mine.

The only resson I can think that they target Chiros is that people who carry more wieght tend to have more spinal compresion so might be more likely to visit a chiro. Or they may not be targeting them at all but the chiros may be seeking a way to suplement their income. The don't make as much as doctors do after all.

My clinic is located in my primary physician's office. She was introduced to it through her chiropractor and liked it so much that she decided to offer it to her own patients. I guess most chiropractors are really interested in getting people to live really healthy lifestyles and this is just one more avenue for them to offer to their patients plus make some extra money. Although some seem to be in it more for the added revenue than coaching their clients.

I think more and more medical physicians are starting to see that this is not just another fly-by-night fad diet but a very real, positive way for their patients to lose that extra weight and get their health back. Hopefully more of them will start offering it.
