By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Broken any pool rules lately? Growing up in Long Island, there were many summers I spent swimming in the pools of neighbors, relatives, and friends. We had a pool at my parents home in Huntington and the only rule I can remember was that there was to be no peeing in
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. I don’t know if they still do this in the USA but in Panama Ronald McDonald still goes around to hospitals and orphanages to visit kids there. During one chiropractic mission to Panama (I think in 2003) a chiropractor from Florida met crossed paths with Ronald at one of the child
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. More photos that I found on the front desk computer. These may not be of too much interest to non-chiropractors but they are actually nice and efficient workstation setups that we’ve used successfully for a few years now. 3 Foot Efficient Laptop Workstation There are 3 setups like this in my
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. There was a Chiropractic Christmas Tree news post on Planet Chiropractic today with a mention about spinal keychains that we hand out in my LA office. The photos shown did not show the keychains so well and someone had emailed me asking about them. I found photos I already took of
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. I’m not the only chiropractor in West LA that has been effected by the writers strike. I’ve spoken to a number of my colleagues and have heard similar reports: an increase in office visits the first two weeks of the strike, a decrease in visits to studios and filming locations, a
There is likely not many places you’ll go this holiday season where you can find bones hanging on the Christmas tree. They may be made of plastic, but this crazy chiropractor in Los Angeles likes to decorate the chiropractic Christmas tree with little spine key chains, which get handed out to patients during the upcoming week of Christmas. It beats giving them sugary candy canes.
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. One of my staff members is out of the office on vacation and I’ve just sat down at her computer to do some upgrades like installing FireFox and Picasa. After doing the Picasa install the software scanned the drive for images and I discovered hundreds of photos (some almost NSFW) on
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Have you been googling yourself lately? If so, there’s no reason to be ashamed? According to a Digital Footprints report released today by Pew Internet, many are doing it, and they’ve even googled others as well. By the time I sat down to write this post there were more than 360
Health-care related topics are reported to be one of the most researched topics on the internet, especially when one suspects they have symptoms of a particular disease or condition. A brief scanning of today’s health related news returns headlines related to carcinogens, bird flu, cancer risks, over-the-counter drug safety questions, prescription medication safety concerns, breast cancer and chemotherapy, vaccine recalls, reports of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in hospitals, and stories of mercury found in eye products like eyeliner and mascara. Nearly every major media web site features at least one health section that provides original health-care related content, or aggregates syndicated content from other popularly known health resources.
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Earlier today I posted news to Planet Chiropractic (Addicted to Ron Paul) regarding a significant change in web related data, when comparing web site traffic from September through November, for BarackObama.com, HillaryClinton.com, and RonPaul2008.com. The news section of the Planet Chiropractic website does not support comments so this post was created
Don’t expect to read an article like this in the mainstream media. In the past three months internet supporters of 2008 presidential hopeful Ron Paul have worked tirelessly to push the Texas congressman’s website into the status of most popular among all those in the race for the 2008 US presidency. Had I not performed the research and recorded the data back in September of 2007, I may not have believed what I discovered today, people are increasingly becoming addicted to the Ron Paul Revolution.
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. I don’t know about the rest of the world but here in West Los Angeles there is an abundance of tattoo parlors and related facilities. In this area it’s not uncommon to see tattoos of all sorts of colors, shapes and sizes, on people from all different age groups and backgrounds.
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. This post relates specifically to chiropractors attending Schofield Chiropractic Trainings in 2008. I do most of our chiropractor interviews for Planet Chiropractic while attending these events so you can expect to find me at these locations throughout the year. Tempe Mission Palms – Arizona Tempe is one of my favorite places
I’ve noticed an increased amount of lists from 2007, top 10 articles of 2007, “best of” styled articles, and reviews from the year gone by on various websites. We’ve never really done month end reviews on Planet Chiropractic but after taking a look at some of the articles that appeared at the beginning of this year I noticed several that new readers may have passed up. Don’t expect me to do a review of every month in 2007 (I’m getting ready to go on vacation) but I’ll scan through some of the years previous articles and compile some kind of a list.
Small-business industries (like the chiropractic industry) are finalizing their conferences and continuing education seminars for the 2007 season. This is the time of year hotels are booked for holiday parties and festivities rather than professional advancement and educational seminars. Before you know it we’ll be in January of 2008 and business professionals will be scheduling out plans for conferences to attend. While it’s earlybird time and not everyone has yet posted schedules, an increasing number of 2008 chiropractic conferences are appearing in the Planet Chiropractic Seminar Database. Events can not only be searched and browsed via areas of interest, continuing education value, and title, users can select by hotel or resort.

Bricks and mortar businesses, like chiropractic offices and dental clinics, are increasingly looking to the Web for online advertising opportunities. Some small-business owners are conducting their own local search paid advertising campaigns, also known as PPC, and many have signed up for programs that are managed by Internet yellow page companies. Here is some information I’ve gathered while traveling.

The Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada will be host to an SEO Texas Holdem Poker Tournament on Thursday, December 6, 2007.
