Social proof is one of the most powerful marketing strategies in the rehabilitation industry, but many clinics still aren't sure how to use it to market to their patients and referral sources.

Diabetes is an increasingly prevalent disease within the United States, with an estimate of 30.3 million people having diabetes as of 2015. That’s roughly 9.4% of the United States population diagnosed. Some diabetics require insulin injections to regulate their blood sugar.

For the insulin-dependent diabetic, injections are a part of daily life, but regular injections into the same location can come with side effects.

Crucially, after treatment, patients report significant improvements in mobility and pain relief..."
