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.

When Radiculopathy Isn’t Radiculopathy: A Clinical Series (Pt. 3)
When Radiculopathy Isn’t Radiculopathy

Before introducing subscapularis syndrome as an upper extremity analog, it is essential to revisit piriformis syndrome as a well-established example of myogenic pseudo-radiculopathy. Piriformis syndrome has long served as a clinical exception to disc-centric models of lower extremity pain and provides an important framework for understanding how deep muscular dysfunction can mimic radiculopathy in the absence of nerve root compression.

From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics
From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics

Pain has become the dominant language of musculoskeletal healthcare. Numeric pain-rating scales and symptom reports are routinely used as primary indicators of clinical success. But while pain reduction is meaningful, it is an incomplete and often misleading representation of recovery. This has real consequences for patient adherence, long-term outcomes, and how conservative care is perceived within the broader healthcare system.
