2008 November is the month the United States elected their 44th president, but that’s not the only event that took place during this historical autumn month. There were marathons (and even canceled marathons), parades, music awards, green car awards, devastating fires in the state of California, and numerous other events. We saw chiropractor income reports, chiropractors running marathons, questions on chiropractic practice, and other topics hitting the homepage of planetchiropractic.com. This post serves as a round up for the month of November 2008.

What does being a “Professional Chiropractor” mean to you? Is it merely passing the national board exam? Getting your name scribed in calligraphy on a fancy sheet of parchment paper? Having the freedom to provide an unsupervised adjustment? Getting 40% off Select Comfort airbeds?

Sometimes it’s good to get outside the box of one’s own industry to discover what commonalities we may have with others. Developing a better understanding as to how others perceive your industry can go a long way in finding ways to provide better communications and services. A few weeks ago I came across a popular breast-feeding blog authored by a woman named Jennifer Laycock. While I was reading through some of the posts, I found myself thinking this was the type of blog I’d suggest visitors of Planet Chiropractic read. What I found most interesting though was that until I came across Jennifer’s blog, I had only known her as the Editor of a popular online guide to better understanding search engines.
