Chiropractique

CHIROPRACTIQUE is an Urban Retreat, a space for people to escape from the day-to-day hustle and bustle, with massage chairs, herbal tea, hypnotic music, appealing natural visuals, cool art, interesting magazines and good energy from fantastic professionals who ensure superior healthcare. Chiropractique differs from other offices because they vet out and appeal to the masses as a non-traditional alternative health care practice, serving professional athletes, hipsters, drag queens, ministers, TV stars, soccer moms, stay at home dads, computer nerds, roller derby goddesses, hip hop dance heroes, corporate executives and the list goes on!

Dr. Beau, who founded CHIROPRACTIQUE, said he has relied on chiropractic care since he was six years old. As a young boy, he had terrible asthma, and was on heavy doses of medication. A family friend recommended he see a chiropractor and within two weeks Dr. Beau said his asthma disappeared. As a dancer he continued to seek chiropractic care to keep his body in good repair, but in college, like many a starving student, he could not afford the price of regular chiropractic care. That is when Dr. Beau decided that what he wanted to do was become a chiropractor and run his own practice with affordable prices.

Following his intuitive path Dr. Beau founded CHIROPRACTIQUE and developed a collective of professionals who he swears are the most talented, incredible group of people he has had the privilege of working with. What makes this collective unique is that they want to ensure their members receive incredible care that they can afford and that it will be consistently effective! Just like exercise, it is vital that patients develop a steady routine, and even though their standard fair only costs $35 (after the $75 initial visit), the wonderful staff at CHIROPRACTIQUE understand that financially, that is not always a possibility. What they have done is develop the Karma Box, a non-traditional payment plan where patients are asked to leave at least something. Inside the box, you'll find flowers, thank you cards, unused gift cards, food, etc. It's karma, so everything is welcome, and of course, one good deed leads to the next.

Speaking of karma, Dr. Beau proudly recognizes that 90% of his business comes from recommendations on Yelp.com. In the business of health care, he realizes that the Chiropractic profession's key to success is through word-of-mouth advertising, which is why it is pertinent that they always put their best foot forward. For this very reason Chiropractique has become the guru of social media marketing. Dr. Beau has over 2,000 friends on his personal page at facebook.com, and one of his creative promotions includes challenging his friends to develop a sentence with his word of the month – a challenging chiropractic term on the fan page (www.facebook.com/CHIROPRACTIQUESD). The person with a winning sentence receives a free massage. Chiropractique also contracts with a social media expert, Kelly O'Laughlin (aka Twitterface), who has helped them recruit over 1000 followers on Twitter and 800 on their Facebook Fan Page.

CHIROPRACTIQUE celebrated five years of fabulousness on May 5th of 2010. Dr. Beau chose their location because he loves the neighborhood, the beautiful building that he feels lucky to have acquired, and because he likes the "feel" of El Cajon Boulevard. Dr. Beau believes that The Boulevard has the best urban vibe in San Diego, a lot of potential for further revitalization, and he admires that it is not too congested. Their office is also right next to the beautiful Lafayette Hotel, so how can you beat that?
