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?"

Should You Use Cash, Loan or Lease for Equipment Purchases?
Should You Use Cash, Loan or Lease for Equipment Purchases?

Some doctors thrive in a personality-based clinic and have a loyal following no matter what services or equipment they offer, but for most chiropractic offices who are trying to grow and expand, new equipment purchases help us stay relevant and continue to service our client base in the best, most up-to-date manner possible. So, regarding equipment purchasing: should you lease, get a bank loan, or pay cash?

2024 Elections: Our Best Chance to Be a Player Again
2024 Elections

Some pundits say that the upcoming presidential and congressional races, and many local races, might be the most consequential in our country’s history. We do not have the choice of sitting on the sidelines and hoping our patients will carry our water.  Unlike other medical professions such as physical therapists, podiatrists, nurses, etc., the health care class (AMA) will not protect us. We must be in the game.

Evaluating Shoulder Pain - More Than the Rotator Cuff
Evaluating Shoulder Pain - More Than the Rotator Cuff

The most common condition affecting the shoulder is rotator-cuff disease. From acute tears to chronic tendinopathy, it’s common and needs a thorough workup. In fact, even asymptomatic shoulders can have full-thickness rotator-cuff rears in up to 40% of instances. Let’s look at additional conditions that can present to the office with weakness, loss of motion and pain in the shoulder beyond rotator-cuff tears.
