ChiroPoll -- Your Chance to Learn and Be Heard

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

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:

http://www.chiroweb.com/chiropoll

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.

Are You Meeting the Chiropractic Standard of Care?
Are You Meeting the Chiropractic Standard of Care?

The term standard of care is a legal term and a medical concept. There is no single, universally recognized standard of care document or authoritative reference. 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.
