ChiroBlogs:- by Michael Dorausch, DC I was doing some preparation on a news article that posted today regarding a Las Vegas 5K running event put on by Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) superstar and five-time UFC Champion Randy Couture. I knew Planet Chiropractic had posted running related articles in the past (not running ones practice) but I hadn’t [...]

ChiroBlogs:- By Michael Dorausch, DC Chiropractors… This Post is All About You! This past weekend I collected more than 100 chiropractic business cards while attending the DCS Jam event in Southern California. Many chiropractors that handed me cards mentioned they had address changes, phone number changes, or other changes, some of which differed from information listed on the [...]

ChiroBlogs:- by Michael Dorausch, DC Marketing materials sent to chiropractors by mail, fax, and e-mail continue to show up in my chiropractic office (and thousands of other chiropractic offices across North America). There appears to be a new trend in marketing materials arriving the past two months. Gone are the direct-mail campaigns for nonsurgical spinal decompression with [...]

ChiroBlogs:- by Michael Dorausch, DC Taking a look at some of my notes here at the end of day one of Barcamp 3 in San Diego. We are in the Microsoft offices in La Jolla and the halls are full of sounds from people Wii bowling and playing Halo on Xbox 360 units. Rather odd being here inside [...]

ChiroBlogs:- By Michael Dorausch, DC With today being the 2008 Kentucky Derby I thought I’d share some videos of chiropractors adjusting horses. That may come as a surprise to some but chiropractors in the USA have been providing care to horses, dogs, and other animals for more than 100 years. While the first years of chiropractic were focused [...]

ChiroBlogs:- by Michael Dorausch, DC I received a notice today from a corporation listing service that was reminding me to renew my domain name (in this case it was rssware.com - forgot I even owned it). If you own a domain name you’ve probably received a letter similar to the one I received today. It looks like an [...]

ChiroBlogs:- by Michael Dorausch, DC The search is on for chiropractors across the United States. There are stacks of business cards spread out across my desk. I’ve been taking calls and receiving e-mails from people either seeking out chiropractors or wanting to get chiropractic offices listed on a number of different Web properties owned or managed by [...]

ChiroBlogs:- By Michael Dorausch, DC Grabbed this photo of a photo while at a Santa Monica venue attending the Growing Your Site’s Traffic event. It’s an outdoor advertisement for a movie theater featuring movie showtimes for Star Wars, Saturday Night Fever, Charlie Brown, and the Bad News Bear. Pretty sure the original photo was taken in 1977. I [...]

ChiroBlogs:- by Michael Dorausch, DC I don’t think that this slideshow works if you’re using an Internet Explorer browser. It should work in Firefox. These images are from the Chiropractic California Jam which was held on Saturday, April 26, 2008, at the Orange County Performing Arts Center. More than 1000 chiropractors were in attendance for the event and [...]

ChiroBlogs:- By Michael Dorausch I was browsing through some photos earlier this afternoon when I came across this one which was taken during a chiropractic mission trip to Nicaragua. Not sure what make of gun he is holding, but I’ve adjusted many people, while others observed while holding guns, it’s an odd experience. On the topic of mission [...]

ChiroBlogs:- by Michael Dorausch, DC When you’ve been in chiropractic practice long enough, you notice people doing the funniest things with chiropractic benches and tables. Having been around these pieces of equipment for nearly 2 decades, one begins to take for granted the assumption that everybody knows how to lie down on a table, how to use [...]

ChiroBlogs:- by Michael Dorausch, DC I’m starting to have fun going through the bulk mailboxes for one of our chiropractic servers. It handles e-mail for dozens of chiropractic web sites. Now that we’ve got more aggressive filtering out spam, it’s easier to see when people or bots are targeting every e-mail address on the server. In previous posts [...]

ChiroBlogs:- by Michael Dorausch, DC There’s a few chiropractic seminars and events going on during the month of May, which I wanted to bring to your attention. First, before April wraps up, Southern California chiropractors will be gathering together in Newport Beach, California for the one and only California Jam being hosted by the dead chiropractic society. After [...]

ChiroBlogs:- by Michael Dorausch, DC I didn’t realize the news regarding education and the student loan crisis in the United States was as big news as it turned out to be. There was a student loan article appearing on planet chiropractic this past Thursday, and I caught a chuckle when I noticed it included with hundreds of [...]

ChiroBlogs:- This post is a continuation of mission news coverage authored by Chiropractor, Peter Morgan. Now on to Haiti… Jason O’Connor, DC, from Antioch, California was the primary chiromission organiser of the Haiti expedition and led the brave team of Chiropractors.  David Hecht, DC, from New York was another mission leader, and John Palmer, Chiropractic Student at Life [...]

ChiroBlogs:- by Michael Dorausch, DC I saw a domain for sale today and it prompted me to begin searching for some local chiropractic related terms. One thing led to another and I found myself searching Bakersfield Chiropractic. I was amused to discover a post from planet chiropractic news displayed within the search results but what I found [...]

ChiroBlogs:- by Michael Dorausch, DC I love affirmations. I’ve been reading affirmations every morning, midafternoon, and evening, for as long as I can remember. This past weekend I was in Las Vegas attending a roundtable and chiropractic conference when someone handed me a motivational card with an affirmation on the front, and business related information on the [...]
