ChiroWeb Adopts Health on the Net Principles

Editorial Staff

In 1996, the Health on the Net Foundation created a code of conduct for health-related websites to address the presentation and reliability of information. Known as HONcode, it is a set of simple, broadly-accepted rules and guidelines which helps users determine reputable health sites from questionable ones.

The HONcode addresses a number of topics, including the authority of the information being provided, data confidentiality and privacy, proper attribution of sources, transparency of financial sponsorship, and the importance of clearly separating advertising from editorial content.

After being submitted for review earlier this year, ChiroWeb.com has been approved by the foundation and now displays the HONcode seal on our web pages, letting visitors know that the site is a reliable and valid source of health information. For more information on the HONcode, visit the Health on the Net Foundation's website at www.hon.ch.

Would You Rather Be a Chiropractic Therapist?

Because they have yet to pass national legislation protecting the chiropractic profession, Japanese DCs are in a similar situation that U.S. DCs faced. We were fortunate enough to be able to pass chiropractic licensure state by state. The DCs in Japan must accomplish this nationally, which has proved to be an extremely difficult task. And in spite of their efforts, Japanese DCs are currently faced with two chiropractic professions.

Chiropractic at Risk Globally
Chiropractic at Risk Globally

There has long been an attempt by those who are not legitimate doctors of chiropractic to usurp the title of chiropractor from those who have earned their degree from an accredited chiropractic program. This generally happens in countries where the local doctors of chiropractic have yet to pass legislation requiring a degree from an accredited institution. The result is essentially two chiropractic professions. Nowhere is this danger more pronounced than in Japan.
