ChiroMaster Awards 2000 Contest Begins July 1

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

Two years ago, Dynamic Chiropractic created the "ChiroMaster" website award contest. The intention of the contest was to recognize individual doctors of chiropractic who had put in the time and energy to create useful, comprehensive websites for their practices, and to encourage other DCs to design their own sites as a means of educating the public about chiropractic.

On July 1, Dynamic Chiropractic will begin accepting submissions for this year's Chiro- Master contest. As in previous years, there will be no set limit to the the number of sites that receive the ChiroMaster award. All sites that the website committee considers exceptional will receive the ChiroMaster. Sites that win the award will be featured in an upcoming issue of Dynamic Chiropractic and will be highlighted for their individual strengths, such as "best layout" and "most visually appealing."

Sites will also be judged on both chiropractic and technical criteria, including (but not limited to):

  • information about your practice;
  • information for your patients;
  • information about the art and science of chiropractic;
  • download time and browser compatibility;
  • ease of use and site layout.

To apply for the ChiroMaster award, please send an e-mail to Editorial@MPAmed

Should You Be In-Network or Out-of-Network With Insurance?

It’s a new year and many chiropractors are evaluating what will enhance their respective practices, particularly as it relates to their bottom line. One of the most common questions I get is: “Do I need to be credentialed to bill insurance, and what are the best plans to join?” It’s a loaded question – but one every DC ponders. Whether you're already in-network or pondering whether to join, here's what you need to know.

Squaring the Geriatric Curve
Squaring the Geriatric Curve

The geriatric curve – the progressive decline in our health, fitness, mental capacity, and overall constitution – graphically appears as a downward sloping line over time. It is a culmination of the effects of sarcopenia, postural deterioration, frailty, and chronic noncommunicable diseases that occur as we age. While aging cannot be reversed, the goal is to reduce the negative slope or “square off” the curve, thus avoiding a steady decline in health. Here are five ways to get your patients started.

How Chiropractors Can Make It the Best of Times
The Best of Times, the Worst of Times

Imagine an environment in which DCs are tightly integrated with their local healthcare system; a trusted resource for PCPs, specialists and self-insured employers; are reimbursed in alignment with value created; use modern technology enabling them to fully engage with their patients; are self-governed; and are able to maintain a fulfilling work-life balance. In the final part of this three-part series, we explore three areas for chiropractors to focus on to leave the current foolishness behind and create “the best of times” for DCs and their patients.
