The number of people visiting ChiroWeb.com for information about chiropractic and wellness continues to grow. It is also estimated that four times as many interested consumers visit the website as do doctors and students of chiropractic.
October was the first month in which the ChiroWeb site enjoyed more than two million page views. This means that 2,071,687 pages of information about chiropractic and wellness were provided during the 373,824 visits made to the website in October.
Included in the number of page views are the 55,536 times ChiroWeb members' practice information was presented on the ChiroLocator to people searching for doctors of chiropractic in their areas.
The internet continues to be a fantastic place to inform and educate potential patients about the benefits of chiropractic care. The fact that ChiroWeb's traffic continues to grow demonstrates the extensive demand for reliable information that consumers can use when making health care choices.

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.
