Back in April, we reported that WebMD.com, which enjoys monthly traffic of approximately 150 million visits including 7 million to its doctor directory, had extended a historic offer to all DCs to receive a free directory listing. WebMD is now providing specifics on how to participate.
The Foundation for Chiropractic Progress helped facilitate the profession's inclusion and as a result, F4CP members have now had their profiles uploaded to www.webmdf4cp.com. (Website development and marketing company Online Chiro has partnered with WebMD to add DCs and to provide special pricing for an upgraded listing.)
Here's how F4CP members can review their profile, edit it and discuss a listing upgrade:
If you are not an F4CP member, you can join by visiting www.f4cp.com and your WebMD profile will subsequently be added. Otherwise, all non-member DCs are encouraged to call 866-665-7308 to facilitate their free listing if they cannot locate it by searching the WebMD doctor directory.
"With one out of every four adults utilizing WebMD each month, this opportunity helps to create additional exposure for doctors of chiropractic," said Kent Greenawalt, F4CP chairman. "WebMD and Online Chiro are generously extending this offer to every doctor of chiropractic, not just the Foundation's almost 25,000 members. This new offering will certainly help to catapult the profession further into the public eye and we urge every DC to take advantage of this opportunity."
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?
