2,500 Visitors to ChiroWeb Every Week!

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

Every week, more than 2,500 people visit ChiroWeb (that's over 130,000 visits per year). Most visitors are looking for DCs in their area; others are chiropractors checking out the DC Archives, Chiropractic Calendar, various other services, or just keeping in contact with other DCs.

When assessing activity at a website, the terms "visit" and "hit" must be differentiated. If you go to a website, whether you stay one minute or one hour, or whether you click on one page or multiple pages on that website, it counts as one visit.

A hit, however, measures file requests made in the logbook of a server computer. Hits can be misleading. For instance, if you view a page that has three graphic images, and click on each image, you register four "hits": one for going to that web page, and one for each image.

So while ChiroWeb logs approximately 25,000 hits each week, we feel that "visits" are more significant indications of traffic on a website. The number of visits to ChiroWeb tells us how many people are looking for chiropractic information on our site.

From Search to Selection: Why AI Visibility Matters for DCs
From Search to Selection: Why AI Visibility Matters for DCs

Patients are no longer just searching; they are asking. Consumers increasingly use AI-powered platforms such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Perplexity to ask complete questions in conversational language. Instead of typing “chiropractor Miami,” patients may ask, “What is the best nonsurgical treatment for sciatica?” or “Who helps pregnant women with low back pain near me? This shift represents one of the biggest changes in healthcare marketing since the rise of Google itself.

A National Turning Point: N.J. Board Rejects Insurer Medical X-Ray Rules for DCs

The New Jersey Board of Chiropractic Examiners has made a precedential decision, concurring with the Association of New Jersey Chiropractors' (ANJC) position paper on chiropractic X-ray guidelines. In plain terms, the board ruled, consistent with the ANJC position, that insurance companies cannot use medical X-ray rules or recommendations, like those written by the American College of Radiology (ACR), to decide whether a chiropractor's X-ray was necessary.

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.
