When sports chiropractors first appeared at the Olympic Games in the 1980s, it was alongside individual athletes who had experienced the benefits of chiropractic care in their training and recovery processes at home. Fast forward to Paris 2024, where chiropractic care was available in the polyclinic for all athletes, and the attitude has now evolved to recognize that “every athlete deserves access to sports chiropractic."
ChiroPoll
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?"
