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 I graduated from chiropractic college in 1981 and started practice, I heard it all, and very little was positive. “You are a quack; you do not know what a subluxation is; you couldn’t get into a real health care program, so you chose the one that is slightly above a mail-order degree; you have no proof that chiropractic works; Are you really licensed?”, and so much more.

A central challenge in creating our identity is that chiropractic is a method of care, not a technique or procedure. This is an important concept for us to promote.
