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.
More Kudos for ChiroWeb
In June, two popular health sites bestowed website awards on ChiroWeb, raising the number of awards ChiroWeb has won since its inception to 10.
On June 8, ChiroWeb received the "Editor's Choice" award from http://www.HealingWell.com. The site received the award based on three criteria:
- exceptional web design;
- reliable and quality health information on disease and disorder topics; and
- patient accessibility and support.
Less than two weeks later, on June 19, ChiroWeb was chosen as a "selected site" by MedExplorer.com, a free health search engine utilized primarily by health care professionals and consumers. ChiroWeb was chosen because of its content and ease of navigation. It is the first chiropractic site named a selected site by http://www.MedExplorer.com.
A complete listing of the awards ChiroWeb has won is available on line at http://www.chiroweb.com/about/trophycase.html.
