Patients are no longer just searching; they are asking. Consumers increasingly use AI-powered platforms such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Perplexity to ask complete questions in conversational language. Instead of typing “chiropractor Miami,” patients may ask, “What is the best nonsurgical treatment for sciatica?” or “Who helps pregnant women with low back pain near me? This shift represents one of the biggest changes in healthcare marketing since the rise of Google itself.
Mercy Center Conference Guidelines to Be Distributed to All U.S. Chiropractors
The requests for information on the Establishment of Guidelines for Chiropractic Quality Assurance and Standards of Practice (Mercy Conference Guidelines) have been non-stop. The response from the profession has been overwhelming. Everyone is asking, "When can I get a copy? How do I order one?"
Thanks to the generosity of several of the most prominent companies in the chiropractic profession, every chiropractor in the United States will receive a copy of this important document AT NO CHARGE. This will allow every chiropractor the opportunity to examine the recommendations, consider their applications, and present a written response.
The approximately 350 page guidelines document will be mailed to each chiropractor who is a NCMIC policy holder; a Foot Levelers client; an OUM Group policy holder; or receives Dynamic Chiropractic. The organizations who are donating the money to make this possible are:
NCMIC
Foot Levelers, Inc.
OUM Group
Leander Health Technologies
Activator Methods
Motion Palpation Institute
Society of Chiropractic Management Consultants
Synergy
Visual Odyssey
The copies are expected to be mailed in late May or early June. Please alert your staff.
