25,000 Patient/Consumer Subscribers in Less than Eight Months

Patients and Consumers Eagerly Subscribe to Learn More about Chiropractic
Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

In less than eight months, ChiroWeb's To Your Health (TYH) electronic patient newsletter has exceeded over 25,000 subscribers. While the program was designed primarily to educate chiropractic patients, over 5,000 consumers have also subscribed, and are being referred to participating doctors of chiropractic.

The TYH program allows DCs to offer their patients (and other members of their community on an unlimited basis) a biweekly email newsletter that educates them about the benefits of chiropractic and wellness. The email newsletter provides valuable research-referenced information about chiropractic, and includes information about the doctors and their practices. Subscribers have the option to receive newsletters with graphics and photographs, including a photograph of each patient's doctor.

Consumer subscribers receive their newsletters with information right at the top on the nearest participating doctor of chiropractic. Thus far, 1,700 participating doctors are enjoying consumer newsletter referrals every two weeks. Unfortunately, there are still many consumers in areas without participating DCs.

Because To Your Health is an e-mail newsletter, it is extremely inexpensive to educate patients and can easily be forwarded to many more readers. Internet access is not required for participation.

For more information, please call toll-free 888-352-8180.

When Radiculopathy Isn’t Radiculopathy: A Clinical Series (Pt. 3)
When Radiculopathy Isn’t Radiculopathy

Before introducing subscapularis syndrome as an upper extremity analog, it is essential to revisit piriformis syndrome as a well-established example of myogenic pseudo-radiculopathy. Piriformis syndrome has long served as a clinical exception to disc-centric models of lower extremity pain and provides an important framework for understanding how deep muscular dysfunction can mimic radiculopathy in the absence of nerve root compression.

From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics
From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics

Pain has become the dominant language of musculoskeletal healthcare. Numeric pain-rating scales and symptom reports are routinely used as primary indicators of clinical success. But while pain reduction is meaningful, it is an incomplete and often misleading representation of recovery. This has real consequences for patient adherence, long-term outcomes, and how conservative care is perceived within the broader healthcare system.
