By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Something I find myself telling many new chiropractors is to not forget to live a balanced lifestyle when starting your practice. I’ve seen this scenario far too many times: you come out of chiropractic school young & fit, still in terrific athletic condition, loaded with enthusiasm to get started in practice,
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Nine chiropractors come to the office with me everyday. Sometimes there’s more, but each and every day I have the joy to be surrounded by at least these nine amazing individuals. On top of that, I get to adjust all the patients, which makes this the most amazing setup. Here’s how
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. There may be no profession on the planet that is more positively focused than chiropractic. The entire foundation chiropractic is built upon is in helping people express the best version of themselves. Within the profession, and publicly, we may use different terminologies to describe it, but at the core we are
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. If you’ve been in chiropractic practice as long as I have you may know this experience well. Suppose you’re just getting started in practice and received your chiropractors license yesterday, this applies to you. From my perspective, not only are you a unique edition to this profession, you are a multifaceted,
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. If you want to be successful in chiropractic practice don’t forget to unlock the door. Those words were spoken by one of my many mentors very early in my days as a chiropractic student. Seemingly ordinary, patients will have a difficult time getting in for adjustments if the doors are locked.
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Chiropractors see new patients that come from all sorts of backgrounds and upbringings. I’d imagine nearly every chiropractor that’s been in practice ten years or more has many times heard “My dad was a chiropractor” during a patients first visit. Our initial reaction may be to get excited, because every kid
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. We’re approaching October and coming to a time when many chiropractors take off for year end travel. Nearly every DC I know takes a break away from the office during one (or more) of these upcoming weeks: Yom Kippur, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Chanukah, and New Years. While times like these out of
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. We have recently updated the classifieds section on Planet Chiropractic and I wanted to share some links for those of you seeking our most popular categories. Most importantly is the mainpage: Chiropractic Classifieds On that page you can view all of the categories and see how many advertisements are posted to
For those chiropractors and staff that were up early in attendance Friday morning at the 2012 Parker Seminars Las Vegas, there was a special presentation on the main stage. Dillard’s, the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress, and Parker Seminars, put on a fashion show. It was an exciting way to start off a fabulously fashionable Friday
Today marks the first day of postseason play in the NFL, and while I’m excited there’s games on Saturday and Sunday, I’m already missing regular-season NFL play. For several years now, I’ve been traveling (oftentimes with Raiders fan MrsChiropractic) to football stadiums throughout the United States. We try to visit at least two stadiums per
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. 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. Thanks to writing online for the past ten years, and to twitter (follow me here), I’ve been invited to cover news related to the LA Auto Show in downtown Los Angeles. From what I’ve seen so far the show looks to be an awesome experience. Even with all the doom and
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Somewhere on this blog I’ve mentioned all the postcards my chiropractic office gets throughout the week. Postcards, like this digital pedometer postcard from Dr. Steve Visentin are fairly popular, but the ones that come to my office are mostly from suppliers and vendors of chiropractic merchandise. There is a stack on
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Dr. Steven Hansen of Elk Grove California was recently interviewed for a Planet Chiropractic news article. After the interview was nearly complete he was asked a few more questions about his chiropractic practice. Dr. Steve got into the topic with great detail so we decided to include his shared information as
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. On a recent road trip (partially along the California five freeway) to Yosemite National Forest, I passed by a number of chiropractic offices. We stopped in Bakersfield on Friday to visit the office of Dr. James Ryan and took some photographs of chiropractic offices in Fresno. On Saturday, I was in
On the first day of a hot summer this guy should be extremely busy. Oh wait…. Slowly he would cruise the neighborhood, waiting for that occasional careless child who confused him with another vendor. Sure thing Johnny, you’ll be screaming, but it won’t be for ice cream.
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. The following is a collection of Twitter messages (follow me here) of people expressing their thoughts on chiropractic. These are all from yesterday (except for the last one, which was on June 13). They make for an interesting collection of image captures on what’s going through the minds of five people
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Checking your website log files is a great way to discover what kinds of searches are resulting in visitors to your site or blog. You can optimize your site for particular words you want to be found for and you can incorporate popular terms to easily drive new traffic. I grabbed
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Shoes have been a hot item for quite some time. There are running shoes, walking shoes, hiking shoes, calf muscle strengthening shoes, shoes that encourage better posture and balance, and a custom shoe style for nearly every type of activity. I discovered a number of interesting advertisements when browsing through a
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. No rhyme or reason here, other than its Friday and I didn’t think I’d get a chance to make a blog post before mid-Saturday afternoon. I was performing some searches for phone related articles and I came across a number of different posts, written by different chiropractic authors, that I hadn’t
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. When you’ve been in chiropractic practice long enough, you notice people doing the funniest things with chiropractic benches and tables. Having been around these pieces of equipment for nearly 2 decades, one begins to take for granted the assumption that everybody knows how to lie down on a table, how to
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. I’m starting to have fun going through the bulk mailboxes for one of our chiropractic servers. It handles e-mail for dozens of chiropractic web sites. Now that we’ve got more aggressive filtering out spam, it’s easier to see when people or bots are targeting every e-mail address on the server. In
by Michael Dorausch Spotted a blooper on the homepage of Google News tonight (Sunday). The top story title read: Sample hedline goes here Story was from the Atlanta Journal Constitution and it wasn’t a happy one. See screenshot below. Funny enough, a google search for Sample hedline goes here returns a number of results.

There was a full-page advertisement in the Sunday Los Angeles Times with photographs of beaches and attractions in Southern California, along with a message from the states governor. As you know, Southern California recently suffered a series of major wildfires. Thanks to our firefighters’ heroic efforts, and the enormous outpouring of
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. The mail keeps coming. I often wonder if other chiropractic offices receive as much mail as I do. I have to assume that they do. For such a small industry, it’s amazing how much marketing material and product advertising letters and postcards chiropractic offices receive each day. Today alone, I received

The original thought behind creating blog pages for Planet Chiropractic was to develop a place where we could discuss topics that did not belong on our chiropractic news pages. As the blog section develops we’ll be getting into more topics here. The first two section we’ll be focused on involve chiropractic schools and chiropractor salaries.
If you are here, apologies for the mess. We are just playing around and trying out some new features on WordPress. When it’s ready we’ll turn the lights on. 🙂
