I hate it. Seems to be nothing out there that's viable in terms of expense and ease of use.

This problem is extremely common and not just from working on a computer. It happens from looking down a lot as well, such as looking in cell phones, ipads and laptops.

This problem is extremely common and not just from working on a computer. It happens from looking down a lot as well, such as looking in cell phones, ipads and laptops.
There are Federal government ergonomic checklists as to how to set up a desktop PC; the height of a monitor, keyboard, desk, chair, armrest, etc. If you use a laptop, you can throw most of that out the windo because there is no good way to work ergonomically on a laptop.
Sit/stand motorized desks are useful if you actually use them. There is a constant need for posture-based exercises, such as yoga, Pilates, Gyrotonics, Alexander technique, Feldenkrais, Egoscue, TRX and more. To me, they are all like cars: they all get you where you need to be posturally, but you have to like what you "drive" because they need to be done 2 - 3 times a week. Simply getting up from a desk every 30 - 40 minutes and doing a minute of stretching can help too.
Hi Lisa,
For my field, if you want to "fire" a patient for whatever reason, there are legal steps that have to be taken. Usually it's a formal letter and recommending two other practitioners in the same profession, then giving them 30 days to see one of those people or not. Another way, or in...

Hi Lisa,
For my field, if you want to "fire" a patient for whatever reason, there are legal steps that have to be taken. Usually it's a formal letter and recommending two other practitioners in the same profession, then giving them 30 days to see one of those people or not. Another way, or in addition to the first, is to simply say "I can't help you" and subsequently offer to refer them to someone else. And document everything!
Chronic pain is a ubiquitous problem. With the multiple problems occurring with opioid meds, CBD has enormous potential as I'm sure you know. Most every health professional has chronic pain patients. Perhaps you could reach out to ones in Florida to start with. I don't know if it is legal there,...

Perhaps you could reach out to ones in Florida to start with. I don't know if it is legal there, since I live in CA, but it certainly is here.

George’s line is measured at the posterior aspect of the vertebral bodies and should form a smooth curve. It’s easy enough to visually see a significant listhesis, let alone measure it accurately. This line has been around since 1919 and measures ligament laxity often caused by whiplash type injuries. Yes, computer instruments would be more accurate, probably to a tenth of a millimeter; however measurements have been performed successfully for the past 100 years (almost). One should also consider flexion/extension views to measure actual movement between flexionand extension at the affected levels.

Hi David,
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "mobile" chiropractor. Do you mean a chiropractor who has a van or trailer who drives around to treat people? Or a chiropractor who does house calls?
I do house calls but I treat people in their homes. I have no way of determining how many of us...

I do house calls but I treat people in their homes. I have no way of determining how many of us do house calls in the U.S. and even less of an idea of any of my colleagues who evaluate and treat in a portable vehicle. I don't think any of the professional associations, such as the American Chiropractic Association or the International Chiropractic Association keep statistics on that topic.
I wish I knew where to refer you to for that information. That's as much help as I can be.

I’m very old school. I don’t market through social media. I think most people of my generation don’t look for a doctor from a website. Most of it for us is referrals, either from other docs or from our existing patients. There are ways to market your practice that way I can share with you.
Having said that, you can have someone do a complete social media package for you, including a web page, setting you up for blogs, etc. Be very careful what you put on these sites and don’t make any promises to cure or relieve. That can come back to bite you later. Talk about conditions you like to treat and/or are very good at. Do a 2-paragraph blog on a popular problem that you want to see patients for. For example, if you talk about knee sprains in sports injuries, you are going to get those patients rather than people with TMJ problems.
For me, the best networking is word of mouth from satisfied people. People who get referrals are most often those who ASK for referrals. It can't hurt to ask "if there is anyone else you think I can help, I would be happy to accept referrals from you." It focuses a happy client on helping you...

It can't hurt to ask "if there is anyone else you think I can help, I would be happy to accept referrals from you." It focuses a happy client on helping you after you have helped them. It's 100% free as well.
