DIVING INTO…

Returning to Practice: A Rediscovery of Purpose

After stepping away from the adjusting table for 15 years to manage and grow his clinics, Dr. Selles was thrust back into care when several associates left unexpectedly. What began as a necessity turned into a reawakening of love for direct patient interaction. His emotional recount of coming home smiling for the first time in years reveals the soul of principled chiropractic.

Mentorship, Coaching, and the Real Meaning of Professionalism

Dr. Selles breaks down the difference between mentors, coaches, and bosses with clarity and conviction. For students and new DCs, his advice is gold: seek out experienced, approachable chiropractors and adopt a “professional mindset” even during school. Your approach now defines your trajectory.

The Latin American Surge in Subluxation-Based Chiropractic

From Mexico to Colombia, chiropractic is blossoming in Latin America with a vibrancy and purity often diluted in other markets. Dr. Selles points out the freedom from debt, the passion for learning, and the unified community spirit as catalysts for this growth. He believes Latin America may lead the next chiropractic wave.

Grassroots Growth & Strategic Practice Launching

Marketing doesn’t start on opening day. Dr. Selles details exactly how to prep 90 days out, why mall screenings work, and how “door knocking” can lead to unexpected partnerships. His most memorable quote? “Forget the bathroom tile.” Focus on your future patients, not the paint colors.
