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.
New Journal Calls for Papers
A new journal, Spine Rehabilitation, is now calling for paper submissions.
According to the publishers, the aim and scope of Spine Rehabilitation is a commitment "... to an understanding of conservative care as the primary model for treatment of spinal disorders. Articles providing clinical evidence research on care and treatment of spine and back problems are appropriate for the journal. The range of discussion will include orthopedic, neurologic, physical, occupational, psychological, psychiatric, chiropractic, and multidisciplinary treatment approaches to patient care."
The publishers also announced that data-based reports of prospective or retrospective case studies and empirical reports of programmatic work will be given a priority in publication. Review articles synthesizing results of multiple clinical studies will be solicited and single case studies are also welcome. Letters to the editor and comments on previously published articles are also invited.
Original, double-spaced papers and manuscripts, with no more than six authors listed, may be sent to:
