The growing interest in chiropractic care has caused many to seek reliable information about chiropractic on the internet. We see this first hand by the increasing traffic to our website, www.ChiroWeb.com. ChiroWeb is also getting attention from the media, as witnessed by the recent segment aired on the "Healthy Solutions" television program, which was broadcast nationally on CNBC and the Health Network.1
In addition to the airings, a video news release was made available to television news programs across the country. As further evidence of the demand for reliable information on chiropractic, television stations in Colorado, Louisiana, Montana, New Mexico, and Texas aired ChiroWeb's chiropractic news release 42 times.
In addition to the over four million viewers that learned about chiropractic and ChiroWeb on the Healthy Solutions television program, an estimated 692,515 additional viewers2 saw a shorter segment on their local television news programs.
While the combined exposure is relatively small when compared to the 250 million people in the U.S., it does reflect the fact that the public and the media are interested in more information about chiropractic and its benefits.

Many relevant diagnostic signs are not performed deliberately by the examiner or by the patient at the examiner’s direction. They are observed as the patient reacts to their condition. Fortin’s finger sign, Minor’s sign, and Vanzetti’s sign are three examples of this principle.
Spearheaded by burgeoning scientific and clinical research literature, psychedelics have reached a level of media coverage and popular interest that has not been seen for over half a century. By “psychedelics,” we are referring to the unique class of substances that includes psilocybin (the active compound found in so-called “magic mushrooms”), LSD, dimethyltryptamine (DMT), ayahuasca, 5-MeO-DMT, and mescaline – each of which occurs in the natural world (except for LSD, which is a semi-synthetic compound).
While working at the Lovelace Medical Center in Albuquerque, N.M., one of the primary care physicians stated that imaging every patient prior to receiving chiropractic was not medically necessary. It was at that point I reconsidered the need for the imaging of every patient to avoid malpractice.
