Not All Search Engines Are Created Equal

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

With approximately 30 million web site pages on the Internet, the volume of material accessible on any given subject is dramatically dependant on one's choice of a "search engine."

To illustrate this point, we did an Internet search for "chiropractic" using a number of the more popular search engines:

Alta Vista 44,800
Excite 15,864
Galaxy 93
HotBot 22,638
Infoseek 11,097
Lycos 4,481
Magellan 1,226
MetaCrawler 49
WebCrawler 1,366
Yahoo 178

Note: WebCrawler is the standard search engine for America Online. All of the other search engines are pre-installed with Netscape Navigator.

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?

Chiropractic at Risk Globally
Chiropractic at Risk Globally

There has long been an attempt by those who are not legitimate doctors of chiropractic to usurp the title of chiropractor from those who have earned their degree from an accredited chiropractic program. This generally happens in countries where the local doctors of chiropractic have yet to pass legislation requiring a degree from an accredited institution. The result is essentially two chiropractic professions. Nowhere is this danger more pronounced than in Japan.
