ChiroPoll

Editorial Staff

What percentage of your practice is cash paying patients?

Response

100% (red) - 8%

75% (blue) - 20%

50% (yellow) - 19%

25% (green) - 44%

0% (gray) - 9%


These results are based upon responses from 69 DCs. Considering that this was our first online poll, and that we just announced the existence of ChiroPoll in the last issue, the response rate was respectable. We expect the responses rate to significantly increase in a short time.

ChiroPoll's current survey asks:


"Should doctors of chiropractic be allowed to prescribe over-the-counter medication?"

This question will be featured on ChiroPoll ([url=http://www.chiroweb.com/chiropoll]http://www.chiroweb.com/chiropoll[/url]) June 1-June 15. The results will be reported in the July 13, 1998 issue of Dynamic Chiropractic.

The polling question for June 15-June 29 will be:


"How many years of chiropractic college should MDs be required to attend if they desire to practice 1 chiropractic?"

Would You Rather Be a Chiropractic Therapist?
Would You Rather Be a Chiropractic Therapist?

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.

Biomechanical Bridge: Connecting Hip Mobility to Low Back Health
Biomechanical Bridge: Connecting Hip Mobility to Low Back Health

Research now shows that limited hip internal rotation can significantly contribute to low back pain. This may be caused by hip joint variants, but more commonly by trauma causing adhesion of the hip joint capsule or even prolonged sitting, which overactivates the hip flexors and abductors, and underactivates the hip extensors and adductors.
