🤝 Opening a New Clinic? How Jason Hit 300 Visits in Less Than 4 Months
How One Associate Used Strategic Chiropractic Marketing to Open Strong
An associate chiropractor opening his first practice who refused to launch to an empty diary.
The Moment Everything Shifted
Jason had been a strong associate for years - competent, reliable, great with people.
But when he decided to open his own clinic, reality hit:
He didn’t know how to market.
And he didn’t want to risk opening his doors to an empty calendar, poor lead flow, or the classic “we’ll see what happens” launch most chiropractors default to.
So he reached out early - before the walls were even built, because he knew opening week momentum isn’t an accident.
It’s designed.
Let’s Rewind for a Second
Jason was working as an associate in Newcastle at Back For the Future Chiropractic, running a solid list while preparing his own practice behind the scenes.
His boss, already working with Pracdev - pointed him our way.
Meanwhile:
The build was delayed
Contractors changed timelines
Dates moved constantly
Jason was caught between roles:
Future clinic owner and Current associate
Underneath was the real fear:
“I need everything perfect before anyone sees it.”
“What if paid ads don’t work in a new area?”
“What if I open... and no one shows up?”
The construction delays weren’t the problem.
The fear of opening quietly was.
The Underlying Problem
Jason wasn’t alone—most associates transitioning to ownership face the same traps:
1. Perfectionism
Believing the clinic must be perfect before anyone can see it.
2. Doubt in advertising
Unsure if paid ads would work for a brand-new clinic.
3. Insurance mindset
Holding onto his associate role because he didn’t fully trust he’d launch strongly.
4. Overthinking timing
Believing the launch needed to be a single reveal moment.
All of these froze progress.
Jason’s Turning Point
Jason flipped the script.
He filmed his ad drops in a half-built practice—tools on the floor, raw walls—and the community loved it.
He didn’t pretend to be polished.
He was human and local.
He used the 5-Level system to create a structured pre-launch instead of relying on a single ad.
He:
Introduced himself early to the community
Shared the build journey
Spoke directly about the problems he treats
Used simple, clean, aligned messaging
Let people follow him before the doors opened
And once everything started working fast, he resurfaced to keep building the long-term systems—not just the launch hype.
He built momentum before the paint dried.

FAQ
Q: Where can an Associate looking to be an owner learn the skills and system that Jason used without working with an Agency?
Pracdev has created a free resource for Chiropractic Marketing, lead generation and Personal branding for Chiropractors in the Free Skool Group - The Influential Chiropractor - you can join and enjoy the free beginner and advanced trainings.
Q: How did Jason get new patients before his chiropractic clinic opened?
Jason used a structured pre-launch marketing system — including content-style ads, intro videos filmed inside the unfinished clinic, and localised messaging — to build awareness and trust weeks before opening day. This created momentum and demand before the practice even opened.
Q: Do chiropractic ads work before the clinic is finished?
Yes. Raw, behind-the-scenes content actually performs extremely well because it builds authenticity and shows your community who you are. Jason filmed ads in an unfinished space and the community connected with it immediately.
Q: How quickly can a new chiropractic practice grow with proper marketing?
Jason cracked 200 office visits within months by combining clear messaging, consistent content, and strategic ad campaigns — showing that new practices can scale rapidly with the right system in place.
Q: Does a chiropractor need a perfect clinic or polished branding before running ads?
No. Perfection slows growth. Jason launched ads before the clinic was ready, letting his audience follow the build. This built connection, anticipation, and early trust — which led to a booked-out opening month.
Q: What marketing system did Jason use to go from unknown to fully booked?
He followed PracDev’s 5-Level Marketing System + the 28 Day Ad Reset, which provided:
Personalised scripts
Content-style ads
Pre-launch strategy
CRM + nurture sequences
A clear messaging framework
This helped him build authority before officially opening.
Q: What is the best way for an associate chiropractor to transition into ownership?
Build momentum early. Jason marketed as the face of the future clinic while still working as an associate — creating demand before day one. The moment his ads gained traction, he confidently stepped into full ownership.
Q: Do chiropractic Facebook ads work without using discounts?
Absolutely. Jason ran value-based, message-led ads without gimmicks or discount offers. His authentic storytelling created instant trust and strong lead flow at healthy margins.
TL;DR
Jason was an associate launching his first clinic and didn’t want to open to an empty diary. He filmed ads before the clinic was finished, let people follow the build, used clean messaging, and created momentum before opening day—rapidly hitting 200+ OVs/week and stepping fully into ownership.
