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.
ChiroLocator Goes International
Chiroweb.com's Chirolocator has been expanded to include chiropractors from outside the U.S. DCs and patients can now locate a friend or colleague abroad with just a few keystrokes.
There are four ways visitors to the ChiroLocator can find the name and address of a local chiropractor: Users can search by a DC's last name, first initial (e.g., Smith, J); by city/state (limited to the first 15 letters in a city's name); by zip code (limited to chriopractors located in the U.S.); or by city/province/country for international DCs. The more information entered, the more restrictive the search results will be.
Chiroweb.com prohibits those who use the referral directory from collecting names for commercial use. Users must agree to the policy before conducting a search on the ChiroLocator. This policy protects chiropractors from receiving unsolicited or "junk" e-mail by third-party vendors.
To access the ChiroLocator, visit chiroweb.com's home page and click on the "Referral Directory of DCs" link. Users can also visit the ChiroLocator directly at www.chiroweb.com/locator.
