[Second Frame: AN is running into BB's office waving a report]

AN: Have you seen the latest research? It shows chiropractic care to be extremely cost effective!

BB: So?

[Third Frame - BB is looking over the report]

AN: But it determined that chiropractic is more effective and less expensive than medicine.

BB: No big deal.

[Fourth frame: BB still looking]

AN: And the study is very credible, using appropriate methodology and published in a highly regarded medical journal!

BB: No problem.

[Fifth Frame: BB hands the report back]

AN: But how are we going to counteract this?

BB: Why bother?

[Sixth Frame - BB flicks his cigar]

BB: The chiros won't tell anybody about it. Why should we?

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.

The result is essentially two chiropractic professions. Nowhere is this danger more pronounced than in Japan.
