massage and bodywork professionals
Massage in a Chiropractic Setting
It is no secret that massage and chiropractic make a dynamic combination. This group is for massage professionals who work in a chiropractic clinic, work on a referral basis with chiropractors, or looking to work in this environment.
Rip Off
Its my opinion, that im most cases Chiropractors rip off Massage Therapists. I know Chiropractors that are Billing over $300.00 an hour to insurance companies for a one hour massage,and pay the massage therapists $60.00 and hour...And they have six therapists working for them six hours a day each...lol...But what choice does a begginer massage therapist have..Its not bad money...Only thing is..that after you gain experience..You will find out that you offer more to the patient then the Chiropractor. After several years working in a chiropractic office I began hearing ...The only reason I see the chiropractor is because I want a massage... My opinion is that a skilled experienced massage therapist has way more to offer a patient then any chiropractor...I dont need em now. That being said... A chiropractic clinic, is a good place to learn bodywork,and become skilled. I'm just making a comment on the subject. Yours in Health, Gordon

I just started working in a chiropractors office but Im an independant contractor. We have self pay, insurance & MVA patients and regardless of how much he bills, I get paid 60%. I provide lotions, linens and table but he provides utilities, space, reception, billing, scheduling, advertisement cost (my creation) & referrals. He also trained me and paid for my Chiropractors Assitant Certification so that I can work hourly as an employee while Im building up my own massage practice.
In short, I am soooo blessed to have found such a great place to start off my career. I shadowed them for like 3 months before I started there; went in like once a week or so and just hung out so we could all get to know each other. I am so very pleased that my chiro is not a crook!

Ya that's awesome Jessica. Sounds like a pretty sweet set up :) You are blessed. I worked for a few different Chiropractors and saw some pretty bad stuff from both. It was great medical and business experience though. I'm working for myself out of my home now and I LOVE it! :)
