by Michael Dorausch This time of year it sure would be sweet having a chiropractic office in a place like Summerville or something smiley like that. I was poking around online and there it was, a Summerville in South Carolina, I did not even know such a place existed. Apparently this place has been a
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. If you’d been paying any attention to this blog during the past few days you may have noticed that I was in San Francisco for an Internet get together (I don’t dare call it conference) known as WordCamp. I left my chiropractic office in Los Angeles on Friday night at 7
A power outage today in San Francisco has knocked out a number of highly popular websites, including craigslist.org, livejournal, typepad, Technorati, and others. That’s one major subluxation! Fortunately, Planet Chiropractic data servers are up! Upon noticing a spike in web searches for terms such as craigslist sandiego, livejournal down, craigslist raleigh, netflix down I did
By Sharon Gorman, D.C. I was just thinking about relationships, specifically the relationship that you have with your spouse or significant other. Both people need to get what they need out of the relationship or they probably won’t stay in it. Wouldn’t make much sense to stay in a relationship that you aren’t winning at.
It’s Sunday afternoon at WordCamp 2007 in San Francisco and I’ve been at my laptop an estimated combined 18 hours since booting up early Saturday morning. There are over 395 pressers (people using wordpress) in attendance and looking around the room it is rare to see someone not using their laptop. I have not gotten
Chiropractors in the San Francisco Bay area are using various methods to advertise their chiropractic services online. I’m here in San Francisco for a WordCamp conference. While I’ve been here I’ve been visiting numerous websites and have noticed a number of chiropractic offices advertising on them. I’ve seen offices as far as New York and
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. It’s all in the details. When posting to chiropractic classifieds, some people write some terrific and descriptive advertisements. Others only post a few general sentences. Over the years I have noticed a significant difference in ad performance (measured by page views) when comparing detailed ads to plain Jane vanilla style ads.
I’m heading to WordCamp 2007 in San Francisco! I know what you are thinking, what in the heck is WordCamp and if it’s a place you go to learn how to spell, or learn how to put together words without creating compound sentences, it’s about time you’re going. Sorry but that’s not it. WordCamp is
An interesting pattern has been emerging on the major television networks in the USA.

Regarding chiropractic classifieds, received an e-mail today from student at Palmer Chiropractic College in Davenport Iowa… Thank you for your website, it is appreciated.

Are there any chiropractic school representatives that want to answer questions potential students have?

By Sharon Gorman, D.C. As many of you know last month I moved into a much larger office. I loved my old office but it just wasn’t big enough. I included a separate room for patient education in this office. I never had a room designated for this purpose in any of my previous offices.

Some chiropractic humor for the Fourth of July holiday week! This chiropractic comedy video was filmed in January of 2001 at a hotel in Eatontown, New Jersey. The video features a group of chiropractors and their spouses acting out a skit of the first chiropractic adjustment. This was a long, long time ago, before Harvey
By Sharon Gorman, D.C. We Chiropractors try to be so politically correct. We don’t like to use the G word in the office. We try not to turn people off if they are not open to talking about God. I find it perplexing that people try to keep their spiritual world and their physical world
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Tips for developing a chiropractors adjusting space. How should I design my chiropractic office?

Yesterday I posted an article to Planet Chiropractic News titled Live Subluxation Free or Die Hard. The article was about Bruce Willis, his 4th Die Hard film (opening tomorrow), and chiropractic. People sometimes ask where I get this stuff. Do we call an agent for Bruce Willis? Did someone from his promotional office call us?

By Michael Dorausch, D.C.

I know someone is going to argue this but I have to say after over 10 years of purchasing domain names the term “chiro” is a poor choice when planning to create websites for patients and other consumers. Notice I said developing websites for patients and not chiropractors. In chiropractic, there are many sites using
The Yellow Pages directory of Canada (YellowPages.ca) is including RSS content on their directory pages.
