The month of June featured lots of new chiropractic classified advertisements placed in the categories of practices for sale, chiropractic jobs, employment opportunities, and equipment for sale by private parties. Nearly all the practices for sale are listed in the United States, but there are some in Canada as well, and even some practices listed internationally. The Associates job wanted and job available categories have been fairly active during the month of June, and will likely continue to be so throughout the summer. Those using the categories for selling chiropractic products online once again advised to use common sense and be alert to potential scams.

Are you grabbing your face mask, stocking up on food and Tamiflu, locking your doors and keeping your TV tuned to the news to find out just how bad the “swine flu pandemic” really is going to get? While Americans are being scared to death, few are noticing how much of their tax money politicians are giving to drug companies and government health officials to grease the skids to create more experimental flu vaccines and drugs and more effective ways to quarantine or force their mass use whenever a “public health emergency” is declared in the future.

Everyone is talking about Swine Flu. There’s no doubt the topic will come up in a chiropractic setting, and chiropractors are likely going to offer advice more on the side of wellness and prevention versus use of antiviral agents, vaccines, and taking of medications. One California Chiropractic office had a Swine Flu Handout prepared for Monday morning distribution. We’ve included a copy of the text here, for those wanting to educated with similar handouts.

Ankle sprains, they are not fun, yet nearly everyone of us has experienced them at one time or another. Being a chiropractor, questions about joint sprains like ankle injuries is something I experience on a daily basis. Having an office so close to the beach, running in the sand and playing volleyball (also in the sand) are two of the most common sports related to ankle sprains I see in my chiropractic office. “Should I put ice on it or heat?” Is the question I get asked by nearly everyone with a sprain. Today out of curiosity, I thought I would ask That question on Twitter (Follow Me Here).

Some people may find it hard to believe, but chiropractors can party as hard as any other group on the planet. By party, we don’t mean get chemically induced and crunk, we mean letting loose and having a good time. Rather than getting over medicated to the point of numbness and dysfunction, the chiropractic community feeds and fuels on the energy that drives this universe. Okay, so there’s some alcohol and caffeine involved at times, but for the most part, when chiropractors talk about being Fired up, it’s an expression coming from the inside, that’s being projected outwards. With that said, one of Chiropractix biggest concert events is scheduled for March of 2009, it’s going to be a wild and off the hook ginormous party.
