The Oklahaven Children’s Chiropractic Center began in response to the needs of chronically ill children in 1962, many of whom in the early 1960s were paralyzed, in braces and wheelchair-bound. Oklahaven founders chose to provide chiropractic care through a nonprofit 501 (c)(3) organization. They relied on the generosity of the private sector who shared the children’s centers vision of natural drug-free healthcare and of other chiropractic colleagues to donate their services.

Attention Southern California Chiropractors: Dr. Patrick Gentempo, Jr. is speaking Tuesday night at the Dead Chiropractic Society (DCS) clubhouse in Orange County, California. The event is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. sharp. Chiropractors traveling from the Los Angeles area are reminded to check freeway closures related to potentially still burning Porter Ranch and other California wildfires.

Regardless if you run an orthopedic center, a doggie day care clinic, or a chiropractic office, this is a good time of year to get your 2009 marketing plans on your mind. There’s no doubt that what’s taking place in our US economy is going to effect business incomes during the next several months. It’s an important time of year to remain focused and keep moving forward in attaining your business goals. Too few chiropractors I’ve spoken to have become masters of tracking where their marketing dollar is working best. Again, it doesn’t matter what kind of business you’re in, keeping track of what’s working (and what’s not) may help you save essential advertising dollars in the upcoming year.

What’s already been a standard concern for many young chiropractors graduating from school and opening new practices, is likely to be intensified in the coming months, thanks to the credit crunch and downturn in the US financial markets. It’s tough enough starting up one’s new chiropractic business, with the situation were currently faced with in the US marketplace, and the mindset many businesses and consumers are currently in. The last thing you want to get sucked into is Satan’s sale pitch, better known as adding gadgets to your practice.

Regardless of what’s going on in the US economy, an activity that has not changed much is the practice of 419 phishing scams, e-mail attempts that target individuals with the goal of separating them from their money and personal belongings. If you buy or sell items online (using any website) this post may be important to you. What may appear as an innocent e-mail from someone wanting to purchase your Schwinn bicycle, Mac Airbook, or other item, is more than likely a fraudulent attempt to motivate you in shipping your product overseas, in hopes of a fast and profitable sale.
