From Search to Selection: Why AI Visibility Matters for DCs

Patients are no longer just searching; they are asking.

The medical concept defines what practitioners should do in practice. The legal term used determines whether a practitioner failed to meet that expectation. This article examines the standard of care for the doctor of chiropractic.
