The city of Murrieta California has a new chiropractor. Dr. James Von Hipple recently moved back to the state after practicing for several years in the area of northern Washington. Dr. Von Hipple and his family chose the 92562 area for a place to raise their two children and build a chiropractic practice.
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. Chiropractors and others doing business within the industry of the chiropractic profession post classified ads seven days a week on the Planet Chiropractic classified ad pages. I noticed an advertisement posted yesterday that utilized a few of the features I’ve spoken about numerous times when making suggestions on going granular with
Earlier today chiropractor Michael Dorausch posted a chiropractic blog piece regarding simple and effective ad placement for those using the classified ad system on Planet Chiropractic. The post highlighted something a chiropractor was doing right when placing an employment wanted ad for their office. Dr. Dorausch spoke about information he called “granular” and stressed the importance of using local (and even hyper local) information in ad postings. After viewing the post, I noticed some hidden benefits of participation.
An e-mail from one of my favorite chiropractors practicing in Pennsylvania provided a reminder that chiropractors can’t focus enough on building relationships with one another and developing interprofessional fellowship activities and events. Chiropractors from Pennsylvania, Michigan, Florida, New York, New Jersey, and most recently California, often times host meetups and other related gatherings, so that chiropractors can get together and discuss the things they have in common.
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. I recently found what I’d consider an old wellness advertisement in a newspaper from the early 1900s. It was an ad for something called the Claxton Ear-Cap and it was intended to keep kids from developing “ugly” ears. I found the marketing sales pitch language really interesting and I’ve transcribed most
Nintendo released their Wii Fit in the U. S. on Wednesday, which was followed by a ton of press about computer games and fitness, and a ginormous amount of social chatter from consumers just crazy to get their hands on this latest addition to the Wii Console. Chiropractor Michael Dorausch, (founder of Planet Chiropractic) ordered a Wii Fit back in early April, and just yesterday he decided to give it away. That’s right, the crazy chiropractor is giving away his brand-new, still in the box, ready to be shipped, Wii Fit.
Chiropractic patient education and motivational events are coming to Ottawa, Toronto, Calgary, and Vancouver, Canada during the months of June and July, 2008. The inspiring and motivational presentations featuring world renowned speaker and chiropractor, Dr. Guy Riekeman, titled Make Your Life Extraordinary!, focus on helping people achieve the life of their dreams and learn more about the benefits of chiropractic care. The events are ideal for doctors of all chiropractic schools, as well as their families, friends and patients.
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. You may or may not have noticed that I ordered a Wii Fit early in April and received one via FedEx just the other day. It’s very cool and apparently there’s quite a bit of concern that there won’t be enough units to go around. Wouldn’t it be great to Win
In 1997 I had the good fortune to be the student president for the International Chiropractors Association representing the chiropractic campus at CCCLA in Los Angeles, California. One of the highlights of my involvement in student politics was the times I enjoyed talking with legendary chiropractors like Sid Williams, Bobby Braile, Fred Barge, and James Sigafoose. Philosophical chiropractic was red-hot in the Southern California area in 1997 and 1998 (and it is again today thanks to DCS), with events drawing large crowds of chiropractors focused on a mission of serving the planet.
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. I had a good reminder today as to why it’s not typically a smart idea to discuss politics in a small business setting. I’ve been a practicing chiropractor in Los Angeles for several years, providing care in a community that represents all sorts of different views and opinions when it comes
After more than two years in development, Google finally announced their health information service yesterday, dubbed Google Health. The service is intended to put consumers in charge of their health information, by offering a safe, secure, and free place to store and organize health-related data. The service is currently in beta status, but it’s now available for public use.
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Woo Hoo! Received an e-mail earlier today from Amazon.com saying that my pre-ordered Wii Fit had been shipped via FedEx. It’s expected to arrive on May 20 (that’s tomorrow) in my LA chiropractic office. I first wrote about the Wii Fit for chiropractors last summer. I don’t quite recall when I
Over the weekend I downloaded the latest release candidate available for the Firefox browser by Mozilla. According to reports, this release candidate (RC1 of version 3) features some improvements in security and performance. Even though the browser is available for public use, the RC one release candidate is intended for those wishing to test the browser, and not general users.
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. 3 different sellers of items posted to the classified ads e-mailed me all within a few hours of each other with an e-mail from a suspected scammer. I appreciate them all forwarding the e-mail and I found it to be a perfect example of something that should be obvious, but sometimes
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. I was investigating some popular search keywords yesterday which led me to do a search for the term medicine. Scanning through the results, I found it interesting that six out of the top 21 searched keyword phrases, were related to alternative methods of healing. Even more so, I found it really
As of today, wanna-be president Hillary Clinton is pressing forward with her campaign, while her Democratic rival, Senator Barack Obama, campaigns in Oregon and Kentucky in preparation for this Tuesday’s upcoming primaries. When it comes to influence and lobbying, the Democratic candidates have received the lion’s share of chiropractic contributions, according to election cycle data. 2008 will mark the first time since 1994 that chiropractors gave more contributions to Democratic candidates than they did Republicans.
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. I had several e-mail questions this week regarding topics related to chiropractic schools, chiropractor salaries, and education required before entering a chiropractic program. They ranged from university students asking about continuing their education to become a chiropractor, an attorney asking about average incomes for sole practitioner doctors of chiropractic, and another
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
I thought I’d share some articles from the past on topics such as subluxation, healing, energy, retracing, innate intelligence, objectivism and faith in chiropractic. Following is an assortment of articles organized in no particular fashion, authored by chiropractors and chiropractic assistants (and maybe even a chiropractic student or two), during the past decade or so
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. How one answers the phone is incredibly important to the success of any small business. In the world of chiropractic, it’s amazing to me how many offices continue to use an unenthusiastic approach when it comes to picking up the telephone. Other offices are a delight to call. I hear receptionists
The Palmer Center for Chiropractic Research (PCCR) was notified today that it has received an award to establish a four-year, multidisciplinary Developmental Center for Clinical and Translational Science in Chiropractic from the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
This is Lynn, Marc Hudson’s wife. Together Marc and I produce the ChiroEurope seminar series. Last weekend we finished the 6th annual Chiropractic Spring Extravaganza in Mallorca, Spain. And if you were there you know that once again it was a huge success. Speakers and participants all went home with a new and deeper commitment to chiropractic.
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. It’s no secret that I love Twitter. You can follow my personal tweets @chiropractic or you may want to follow chiropractic news tweets @planetc1 or (if you are a chiropractor) even localized chiropractic classified advertising @ChiropracticAds. Earlier today, Danny Sullivan of Search Engine Land authored a post about a recently added
By this point in time I think it would be safe to assume that every chiropractic office in America has been contacted at least once by a company or individual offering to list their business online in some sort of directory, for a small monthly or yearly fee. This isn’t something unique to the chiropractic industry as dentists, plastic surgeons, orthopedic doctors, acupuncturists, and multiple other small-business industries, have likely been the target of those selling online directory listing services. I don’t follow the online activities of those other industries so I can’t offer comment, but I follow chiropractic related activity very closely.
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Read the related news post on becoming a member of the California Chiropractic Association. The associated video featured Doctor of Chiropractic, John Bueler, Jr. speaking at a CCA event on June 10, 2006.

Not all readers of Planet Chiropractic need information about upcoming seminars and events specific to chiropractors practicing in the industry, but we post this information for those seeking to keep up-to-date on what potential seminars are in the pipeline. I attend an enormous amount of conferences and events, many not related to chiropractic, and those (such as Barcamp San Diego) occasionally get covered on the blog pages.
If you were one of the over 1,000 people at CalJam on April 26th I was there with you. What a day and night that was! CalJam was absolutely one of the most inspiring events I have been privileged to experience. And, if you were in the auditorium when Dr. Bill DeMoss opened the program, you heard our host strongly advocate that everyone with a DC after his/her name unite by joining and supporting the California Chiropractic Association.

By Michael Dorausch, D.C. I was cleaning my home office desk on Sunday and noticed an abundance of business cards have piled up from various conferences and events I’ve been attending during the past three weeks. I picked up about one hundred business cards from chiropractors attending the DCS California Jam in Orange County. I
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. The DCS California Jam Was A Smash Hit! Thanks to everyone for coming and making this event possible. Next year’s date is March 7, 2009 (DCS California Jam 2009). Pre-sale registration tba soon on the events pages. Mark your calendars now! Everyone is still talking about the biggest California Chiropractic party
After watching thousands of news headlines appearing across a number of online media aggregators, it’s apparent that Hillary Clinton’s presidential race is just about done. The New York Post ran front-page headlines reading “TOAST” and thousands of other newspapers painted a grim picture for the New York State senators bid to represent the Democratic Party in the 2008 presidential election.
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. This post most definitely goes into the thoughts category. It’s not intended to be of any benefit to anyone, but you never know what you can learn by reading somebody’s Whiteboard (a.k.a. dry erase board). It’s Saturday and it’s time to clean the board so I can prepare for the week
There are a number of Planet Chiropractic articles authored by moms. Topics range from leadership and office management to providing chiropractic care for more comfortable pregnancies and safer births. There is also an abundant amount of blogs in the blogosphere, with topics for moms authored by moms. I put together a brief list of mom related articles and authors found on Planet Chiropractic and discovered a spectacular resource for nearly every mom centered blog in existence.
