If you haven't surfed chiropractic web sites lately, you're really missing some cool stuff available nowadays via the Internet, aka the information superhighway. If you haven't seen the chiropractic web sites, stay right here. I'll get you there in no time at all. Too busy, you say? No problem. To make your time more productive on-line, I have compiled a list of must-see web addresses (or in cyberspace parlance, Web URLs).
The Wide Wide Wide World of the WW.Web.com.
Every time you connect to the World Wide Web, it seems that you can find something new and wonderful. Today, some of the most compelling sites include the home pages of sites dedicated to chiropractic. Not surprisingly, many of the major, and not so major, chiropractic organizations have a web presence. The content of these sites range from the strictly clinical (radiology, neurology, herbology), to public education: e.g., evidence for the effectiveness of chiropractic; how to choose a chiropractor; the first things you should do if you hurt your back.
In a way, the web is alive. It's growing, developing in maturity, and changing in appearance. It is interactive, informative and entertaining. The public and your patients can visit a web site to see a subluxation or learn about the innate healing powers of the body. You can listen on Internet radio, travel in virtual 3D worlds, see inside the human body with incredible detail and much more.
Cool Stuff on Chiropractic Web Sites
The clinically minded web surfers have many sites to visit:
The site know as Chiropractic Case Studies Reference Page presents a variety of case studies and chiropractic case management information which, according to the author, is presented in a critical manner. For example, one of the case studies discusses the successful care of a 65-year old male with low back pain, left sciatica, paresthesia along the path of the sciatic nerve, and anesthesia of the sole of the left foot drop.
The homepage for Chiropractic Neurology Diplomate Sites entices the visitor by noting that chiropractic's second century will be vastly different from its first. In part, this is due to the fact that the theories proposed by our predecessors now have scientific validity in the field of neurology. Hence, the author states, some paradigms will need to be transformed. With this said, you are invited to browse through their web site with an open mind. While there, make sure you turn to the Physical Exam Workshop page where you will find very detailed instructions on how to conduct a neurologic examination. The homepage for this site contains an easy-to-use search engine to help you find just about whatever you want from the web and Usenet groups.
For the Politically Active and Not-so-Politically Active Web Surfers
No matter what your political agenda may be, the message for all of us is quite simple: The more people we get involved legislatively, the greater an impact we can have on health/chiropractic issues. Getting involved is now easier than making a cup of java.
The best web site for this purpose is Chiropractic Activist Sample Letters. This site specializes in making it easy for you to send letters to political leaders. This site makes it so easy that I sent a letter to my congressman concerning my stand on HR 995 (the Targeted Health Insurance Reform Act) while I wrote this article. It's so simple. This is a must visit web site!
If Web Surfing Is Your Goal ...
If you are hungry for sites to visit but do not know the URLs, then you are in luck. Web sites which specialize in finding chiropractic related sites take the hassle out of finding web addresses. Try Links to Other Chiropractic Sites, DocTus Chiropractic Links, Points of Interest and others; you will see that navigating the web is as simple as a mouse click.
Here's my current list of some very cool chiropractic web sites:

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."
It is estimated that 61% of patients with CTS avoid taking surgical options due to postoperative complications and costly surgical procedures. Chiropractic care offers a comprehensive and effective treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome, addressing the condition from multiple angles. Recent studies also have unveiled a game-changing adjunct to chiropractic treatments for CTS: nerve flossing.
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?
