Q: I am a Chiropractor living in Tangshan, how do I find people that need my service?
A Chiropractic Physician is a Doctor of Natural Medicine, trained to detect and correct nerve problems. We are very good at helping with problems with 'pinched' nerves such as: Headaches, Back and Neck Pain, Low Back Pain, Leg, Knee and foot problems. I would like to know how to let people know of my services for those that would need it. I live in Tangshan

Firstly you would need a license from the competent Chinese authorities to practice any kind of medicine in China. Second, I am not sure that the Chinese government -- the State Administration for Medical Affairs or something like that -- has chiropractic medicine on its list of approved forms of medical practice. If it does, it most likely would come under the branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine. If you speak fluent Chinese and if you are Chinese, then you would have to go through the local TCM hospital, I think.
nevermind:
"Firstly you would need a license from the competent Chinese authorities."
Well, you're screwed Steve, cause competent Chinese authorities are something you'll never find!
As for the rest of this answer, none of it applies. I knew a chiropractor in China from the US, his credentials were easily accepted as they were from a western university. What you need to do is advertise in Chinese and pay for a competent assistant, unless you already speak Chinese.
This guy ran his practice out of his apartment, I think,

I was not offering legal advice as you seem to be doing. Chinese authorities automatically accepting Western credentials? You must be kidding. And no need to denigrate concerning the proper authorities. Finally, most schools of naturalistic medicine are hardly even recognized in the United States. They are routinely shut down by the federal government. They are often just post office drop offs.
nevermind:
981, Chinese authorities accept western credentials at the drop of a hat. Duh. What do you think "foreign experts" are about? There is an entire industry in China BASED on the fact westerners have better education.
Why do you think so many chinese go abroad for schiool?
And chiropractors are recognized as doctors and you go to an actually university post graduate program to become one. I always knew you were another Chinese guy pretending to be a westerner.Re nevermind above, I guess that you are more authoritative than the American Medical Association. Amazing! Here is what wikipedia writes:
"For most of its existence, chiropractic has been sustained by pseudoscientific ideas such as subluxation and innate intelligence[13] that are not based on solid science.[14] Criticisms of chiropractic include the significant disagreements among chiropractors over the effectiveness of vaccination, despite the consensus of public health professionals regarding the benefits of vaccination,[15] which has led to negative impacts on both public vaccination and mainstream acceptance of chiropractic.[16] The American Medical Association called chiropractic an "unscientific cult"[17] and boycotted it until losing an antitrust case in 1987.[18]"
nevermind:
http://www.cmcc.ca/ Then I guess my buddy who went there got lied to, eh?! http://cmcc.ca/Page.aspx?pid=291
nevermind:
Go open a chiropractor practice in the US without formal education and watch what happens.
Where are you now? We could do with a chiropractor in Huizhou.
I have a cousin who is a chiropractor in Utah which is in the U.S.A. I am not sure what Tangshan looks like or anything but a way that my cousin got clients was by advertising and putting out flyers around her business. Another great way to attract customers is by building a website. Like I said my cousin is a chiropractor in Salt Lake City and this is her website http://slcchiro.com/. This website allows her customers to find her services online you should consider building a website to promote your business and services.
Do it like the locals do. Get yourself an old, beat up tricycle with a box cart at the back, write your name and cellphone number on a sheet of paper, attach the said piece of paper to the tricycle, pedal your tricycle to a busy part of town, remove your shirt, shoes and socks, roll up your trousers to the knees, lie in the back of the box cart and go to sleep. After several minutes, hours or days of waiting, your new patients will start to arrive.
