There are many important issues facing the chiropractic profession. How organizations within the profession react is generally based on a consensus.
How can you know the opinions of other DCs on a broad range of topics? And how can you be sure your opinion will be heard?
Every two weeks, we present a ChiroPoll for your consideration. The leaders of the chiropractic professions can read and think about the results of those polls. It gives them a concrete idea of what DCs are thinking.
Don't sit on the sidelines, speak out. It only takes a minute to voice your opinion. Go to Dynamic Chiropractic's website (www.chiroweb.com) and vote. The direct address for the poll is:

Read the question and click on your choice. When you do, you will immediately see the up-to-date results of the voting.
You will also find the archives of all of the survey questions asked on ChiroPoll. Take a good look.
If you have a suggestion for a survey question, e-mail it to us at don@mpamedia.com. Your issues are important to us. Give us the question and see how the profession responds.
When sports chiropractors first appeared at the Olympic Games in the 1980s, it was alongside individual athletes who had experienced the benefits of chiropractic care in their training and recovery processes at home.

It is estimated that 61% of patients with CTS avoid taking surgical options due to postoperative complications and costly surgical procedures. Chiropractic care offers a comprehensive and effective treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome, addressing the condition from multiple angles.

Some doctors thrive in a personality-based clinic and have a loyal following no matter what services or equipment they offer, but for most chiropractic offices who are trying to grow and expand, new equipment purchases help us stay relevant and continue to service our client base in the best, most up-to-date manner possible. So, regarding equipment purchasing: should you lease, get a bank loan, or pay cash?
