Why does the National Association of Certified Chiropractors want to add your name to its online directory? That's one of several questions that remain unanswered despite attempts to contact the NAOCC, which is looking to certify doctors of chiropractic with the following claims:
Yet an actual directory listing shows little information except to report: "This Company is NOT Accredited By The National Association of Certified Chiropractors." And when a doctor applies for certification, but doesn't add the NAOCC graphic tag to their site, the credential is revoked and their directory page reports the practice "has not applied for NAOCC certification." (We couldn't find a DC practice that was credentialed.)
While the NAOCC tag does not appear to include script elements, it does link to the NAOCC website, which places "cookies" on site visitors' browsers without warning.
Based on applicant experience, the NAOCC spends less than 24 hours to "research all new member applications with state and local governments as well as third-party sites." It is also hard to discern just how much traffic the site gets. There is "not enough traffic data" to support a report on several website traffic sources.
When a doctor tried to fill out an application for certification, he was provided with a contact person named John Myers with a phone number of 904-567-8345. All further inquiries by this doctor were ignored. The number "has been disconnected" and attempts to contact Mr. Myers have gone without response.
All this may be a shill for the "Feedback Changer service" promoted on every doctor's page and promising "more reviews on Google, Yelp, Angie's List, Facebook or any online review website" for $29.97 per month.
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?
