 | Chiropractic 42-cent stamp now on sale
-- When the US Postal Service
raises the price of first class postage to 42-cents this month,
chiropractors will be ready! The World Chiropractic Alliance's
chiropractic postage -- valid for any first class mailing -- is now
available in the new denomination. Although the WCA's costs have increased
far more than the price of the actual postage, it is not increasing
the price of the stamp sheets. |
| Dr. Plasker guests on TV show --
Eric Plasker, DC, president of The
Family Practice and author of "The 100 Year Lifestyle," appeared on a
special Longevity Tips show for top cable network TBS. On the show, part
of the popular "Movie and A Makeover" series, Dr. Plasker helped audience
members plan for the long haul by showing the best ways to stay fit for a
lifetime. He discussed longevity, living a successful 100-year-lifestyle,
staying in shape, creating the best life possible in one's golden years
and the importance of having a healthy, well-adjusted spine. |
| How certain are you? by Dr. Terry A.
Rondberg -- Look at your
practice and notice if you have patients from five years ago. How about
three years, or two or even one year ago? Are you seeing individuals for
back pain or families for wellness? The biggest problem DCs have is that
they lack the certainty about how to communicate, educate, and
convey chiropractic in a way that influences people to make chiropractic a
part of their entire family's regular health care. |
| Oklahaven tells story of chiropractic
and kids --
Chiropractors don't normally try to make
their patients cry, but it's hard to watch the new Oklahaven video without
a tear or two. The moving story of one child's chiropractic journey to
health is so uplifting and poignant that few people can watch it without
being touched emotionally by the experience. |
| Avoiding the 'e-risk' of e-mail by
Timothy J. Feuling -- A few
years ago, doctors had only two types of contact with patients -- in
person, and occasionally on the phone. Today, more and more current and
potential patients are using e-mail to ask questions, get advice, clarify
billing problems, and even make appointments. A survey by Harris
Interactive found that 77% of adult Internet users would use e-mail to
contact their medical doctors, a figure that is likely to be at least as
high for chiropractic patients. |
