I am Kate Engelhardt, a chiropractor since 2005 and author of Bennie the Backbone, a chiropractic learning series.
After ten years in practice focusing on children and families, I noticed that chiropractors had very limited tools to convey to families the safety, satisfaction, and value of chiropractic care for children. I noticed chiropractic care being recommended for more children along with parents having more questions about what it is and what it does. Bennie the Backbone was born out of a desire to offer chiropractors an easy and fun way to share chiropractic to families and to put parents and children’s mind at ease about visiting the chiropractor.
I designed the book series so that any chiropractor who wants to connect with their community can easily do so with simple and colorful concepts and analogies.
Different learning styles such as pictures, concepts, and activities, provide a clear picture of a visit to the chiropractor. Use Bennie over and over again in schools, community groups, as a guest reader, or any office outreach program and watch how easily the audience connects. You can even gift the book to groups or individuals to take home and share with others.
I hope you enjoy using Bennie to help you reach more families in your community!
I love hearing about your adventures with Bennie. Please feel free to email me or post your comments and pictures on our Facebook page and share what you do.
