The internet has allowed patients to become better educated consumers. To that end, this site contains research articles (pro and con), links to evidence based articles, and Gallup Poll information. Upon graduating from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1981, I took over a struggling practice. My wife, Dara, (a Speech-Language Pathologist) was not employed at the time so she ran the front desk and we both learned and grew with the practice.
Things have worked out splendidly and we could not have made a better choice. Being a chiropractor is as much fun now as it was then. Patients are unique people with their own set of concerns. The repeating theme, however, is not the pain-it is the loss of function which the pain creates. Technology is the biggest difference between practicing now and in 1981.
Computers are used throughout the office from the front desk, to note taking, texting of appointment reminders and portions of the spinal exam (we have not yet taken the plunge to digital x-rays.)
