By Michael Dorausch, D.C. I spotted the coolest Ford F-150 yesterday while at the Orange County Performing Arts Center. I was in the parking garage when this vehicle caught my eye. Fortunately, I had my Man Purse (which many people made fun of yesterday) with all my gadgets in it. Whipped out my coolpix camera
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. It’s as if I’ve written this post before, the East Coast chiropractic event versus the West Coast chiropractic event. It’s no competition really, I just think it’s cool that across the United States there are high energy chiropractors hosting events on Saturday night. (The magic XPS has new batteries and is
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Postcard arrived today from Schofield Chiropractic Training in Phoenix, Arizona. It was a simple postcard with a quote from BJ Palmer, developer of Chiropractic. There is a poster with a drawing of BJ Palmer on it, with these same words. Great for any chiropractic office (will maybe not any chiropractic office,
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Who says medical doctors don’t want to work with chiropractors? While I’ve been in practice the number one type of medical doctor often seeking referrals from my office has been orthopedic surgeons and neurologists. They offer steak dinners and other incentives in hopes of introducing local chiropractors to the latest surgical
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. I’ve been meaning to get this information posted but I guess I’ve been spending too much time hanging out on twitter and not checking important e-mails like the one I received from Southern California chiropractor, Kevin Joe. In January Dr. Joe sent me information regarding the Orange County Chiropractic District and
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Ladies, if you have a geeky man in your life, consider a Man Bag (aka Man Purse) or any of the items that go in it, as the perfect 2009 Valentine’s Day gift. Trust me, most guys receiving any of these items, will love you long time. I’m proud of my
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Chiropractic software, I haven’t discussed billing or practice management suites in some time. Still no news on any practice management software running on Linux (unless using VMware). Wow, back in November of 2007 I had a practice management software post with questions about products on the chiropractic market at that time.
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. You never know when people are going somewhere you’ve already been. This post is a summary of localized topics using granular information. I’ve used the term granular numerous times in blog post and news articles, but I still think it’s something that often overlooked. I mentioned granular data in a post
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. I set out to perform an experiment this morning related to longtail keyphrases (in this case focused on local search). Using Twitter, the popular micro blogging service, I sent a tweet to followers, asking them to share information about their location, and local weather. An investigation like this one works best
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Don’t be sending me more postcards just because I’m adding some to the blog, many go in the trash. Thnx. Alright California, here’s another 12 hour chiropractic relicensing program taking place in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego and even San Jose. Looks to be a spectacular event, and it’s sponsored
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. I scanned this multipage brochure the team to my office for Validating Chiropractic seminars. The continuing education classes are sponsored by Life Chiropractic College West and are being held in cities such as Honolulu, Boston, Seattle, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Sacramento, and Harrisburg Pennsylvania. Check below for a four-page downloadable PDF
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. I had three different chiropractors call me (actually they called my staff and I haven’t called them back) during the past week regarding ordering plastic spine keychains ( <–see the ones we use for ADIO chiropractic here) for chiropractic offices. There were some chiropractors that had called me the week before
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. I was throwing away some old files today when I came across some printing proofs I received from a yellow pages marketing company back in 2004. The advertisement was to appear in the alternative medicine and health practitioner category of the LA Westside Yellow Pages book. I believe the sales rep
Spizerinctum: Anything that puts happiness in the head, determination in the heart, energy in the hand and invisible courage in the will. — BJ Palmer, DC, PhC. The photo comes from the Pennsylvania office of Dr. Tina Sigafoose. Very large BJ Palmer painting and quote on wall in front reception area. Get the idea, all
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. While working for planetchiropractic.com I’ve taken thousands of photographs of chiropractors across the planet. Some chiropractors are old, some chiropractors are young, some chiropractors are yet to be (as they were students when we took their photographs). In preserving the history of chiropractic and those we’ve crossed paths with, I’m sharing
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. The 4-day 2009 Chiropractic Sports Sciences Symposium in San Diego looks like quite an event for Medical Chiropractic Doctors. Taking place in La Jolla San Diego at the Hyatt Regency Hotel ( I love the Hyatt Regency La Jolla), this 4 day seminar series is for advanced sports science chiropractors covering
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. I don’t think I’ve ever been to a seminar focused simply on personal injury but I am seeing more frequent postcards related to colossus software and insurance claims for car accidents and stuff like narrative report writing for chiropractors. Of the many postcards on my desk (still a very popular way
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. I’ve posted regarding Dynamic Essentials chiropractic events in the past, it is arguably still the best seminar in the chiropractic profession. To the speaker lineup at Dynamic Essentials (DE) is nothing short of phenomenal, with chiropractic speakers that include… Dr. John Boutwell, Dr.Terry Rondberg, Dr. Jim Sigafoose, Dr. Dan Abeckjerr, Dr.
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Every year it seems as though there’s more chiropractic seminars appearing on the calendars. Something I’m noticing in the past two years as an increase in seminars that are not only marketed towards chiropractors, but are open to acupuncturists, orthopedic surgeons, physical medicine practitioners, massage therapists, naturapaths, yoga instructors, fitness instructors,
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Another instrument based chiropractic technique adjusting seminar series. I believe the company is called neuromechanical innovations and they are based out of Chandler, Arizona. Postcard arrived at the office with information regarding about a dozen different chiropractic seminars taking place in cities like Phoenix, Charlotte, Boston, Toronto, Seattle, Los Angeles, Denver,
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. More chiropractic seminar flyers that appeared on my desk. This one comes from the offices of Dr. David Singer. There’s an event in Los Angeles, California on January 24 and 25th but there is no mention of hotel location. There is an event on January 31 in Hartford, Connecticut. There is
Nothing much to see here folks, just a photo of a girl (Marlie Moore) saying Chiropractic Rocks! Aside from the misspelling, I’d say I have to agree with her.
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. One of the last chiropractic seminars I thought I’d benefit from was a Menopause and PMS series called “The Heat Is on!”. The program was so good I ended up buying a bunch of materials while at the seminar to use in my practice. The seminars are put on by chiropractor
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. The post cards are stacked high on my desk. I’ve been out of town the past week and lots of seminar and marketing information from chiropractors were on my desk when I returned. I had to postcards from those crazy chiropractors in Orange County, Dr. Bill DeMoss and Dr. Brad Glowaki.
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. And other folder of photos found. These are from a crew chiropractic trip to Costa Rica in October of 1999. A chiropractor from South Lake Tahoe California provides chiropractic care to individuals in Costa Rica. This was taken inside of a civic gymnasium outside the city of San José. I believe
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. There is a hard drive somewhere in my house that has a complete archive of photographs from the 1998 through 2000 CREW chiropractic missions to Panama. I probably have more mentions about finding the drive than actually uploading any photographs, so we will see of 2009 is the year they get
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Photos provided by chiropractor Liam Schubel of the first graduating class of chiropractors in Argentina, South America. More than 100 chiropractors met during an inspiring weekend of December 12 through December 15, 2008. A group of 21 chiropractors who for two years had studied rigorous principled courses received diplomas on December
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. More photos from around 1998. I suspect these were probably made in the 1970s or 1980s and I don’t remember how I ended up getting copies of them. Both show Woody woodpecker checking the spine of Andy Panda while he’s lying face down on a chiropractic adjusting bench. One image is
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Earlier this year I began the search for an upholstery service that could do custom work on the chiropractic tables in my office. I knew that companies existed doing work for chiropractors, but I was having a difficult time finding anybody serving the Los Angeles area. Proof that postcard marketing still
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. There must be dozens of different ways to contact me. I’m sure the experience is similar for you. Most of us have that primary e-mail address, then there’s the e-mail address used when we want to mark things sent as spam, and e-mail addresses used when not communicating with friends and
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Going through Picasa photo archives for 2008 and figured I’d post some of the images from the past year to this blog. In January 2008 I upgraded the monitors at my home office with 3 24 inch Dell LCD screens and I’ve been using that set up all year. Looking back
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. December 21, 2008 marks the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere. It is a time when the Sun’s position in the sky is at its greatest angular distance from the position of the observer, meaning in the northern hemisphere it is the shortest day of the year. The winter solstice marks
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of postcards and postcard marketing for not only chiropractic businesses, but for other small businesses as well. Sending postcards was on my list of 23 surefire small-business marketing techniques for 2008, and I’ll be recommending postcards for 2009 as well. I received two
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. In my recent posts about x-ray seminars and Karl Parker seminars I mentioned not yet having information for CCA California Chiropractic Association seminars taking place in 2009. Last year the CCA held affordable relicensing seminars throughout the state of California, and I was trusting they would continue with a similar format
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. It’s hard to believe that these photographs are older than the planetchiropractic.com web site.
