"Ask a Doctor of Chiropractic" Forum Needs Volunteers

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

Ask a Doctor of Chiropractic is a public forum on ChiroWeb (www.chiroweb.com/find/ask.html) where people post generic questions about chiropractic. The two doctors of chiropractic who have been generously volunteering their time to answer these inquires are George Best, and Allen Manison.

These doctors need your help. "It's gotten to the point where I'm often spending as much as one to two hours per day answering questions," relates Dr. Best. "Some days the load is pretty light, but more and more frequently there are several questions that require fairly in-depth responses."

DCs who volunteer will have their photos and biographies presented on the "Ask a Doctor of Chiropractic" site. If you can help answer questions from patients and potential patients, please contact us at editorial@mpamedia.com.

The Missing Link in Midlife Female Musculoskeletal Pain
The Missing Link in Midlife Female Musculoskeletal Pain

Musculoskeletal pain in perimenopause and menopause reflects a broader physiologic shift rather than an isolated structural problem. Declining estrogen, increased inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and nervous system dysregulation collectively alter tissue quality, pain perception, and recovery capacity. Recognizing this interconnected model enables clinicians to move beyond symptom management and toward more effective, systems-based care that improves long-term outcomes for midlife women.

Dolly Parton's Connection to Chiropractic

As the world remembers Dolly Parton following her death Aug. 25 at age 80, there is a little-known connection to the chiropractic profession worth revisiting: Dolly publicly acknowledged using chiropractic care and another famous entertainer even recalled meeting her at a chiropractor's office.
