DC Graphs Now on ChiroWeb
We get many requests for copies or information on the graphs we publish on the lower left front page of each issue of Dynamic Chiropractic. Doctors who want to share the graphs with their patients or other interested parties have been cutting and copying the graphs, but now we've posted the graphs on our website (ChiroWeb) from issues in late 1997 through the current issue. Now you can print the graphs from you computer, incorporate them into your patient newsletter, or post them in your waiting room.
You'll find the graphs in the archive section of ChiroWeb. The archives features over 7,000 articles from Dynamic Chiropractic issues from 1991 through 1997. Access the DC graphs at http://www.chiroweb.com/archives.
