Virtually every action, every word and every thought can be separated into one of two categories: manipulation or ministry. That is, does it serve you or is it of service to others?
Some in chiropractic teach that using any means possible to get patients to do the right thing (because it’s for their own good), is within the domain of good doctoring.
You might want to rethink that advice.
By crossing that boundary you have dishonored their understanding, judgment and free will. By overpowering them with persuasive speech or fear tactics you usurp their dignity and reduce them to mere spines; children who must be parented.
Oh sure, you can probably squeeze another visit or two out of them. But “do-gooder” overtures rarely last. Especially when the underlying motive is to make you look good. The appreciation you hope it will produce is dismissed as heavy-handed selfishness.
