A positive outlook is all it may take to optimize wellness

Sudhanva Char September 12, 2018

Wellness Approach There are sound scientific reasons why a cheerful attitude and positive outlook are most essential even in the face of challenges, traumatic stress and uncertainties. Joyfulness is more than 50 percent of wellness and should ideally be everyone’s default nature. There is no other alternative if the objective is robust health and wellness in all three dimensions: body, mind and spirit. Without cheer, there can be no holistic wellbeing or happiness, even if someone is a billionaire, even if he or she is the most cerebral person, or even if someone is the “best” in any field of human endeavor.

What you need to know with a cash-based practice

Kathy Mills Chang, MCS-P September 11, 2018

Practice Central Some providers dream about it: A totally cash-based practice. A virtual provider utopia where the frustrations of dealing with third-party payers don’t exist. No more appeals, no more rejections, fewer staff, lower malpractice premiums, and less worry over unpaid claims—sweet freedom! Or is it? Certainly, feeling freedom from the constraints of insurance carriers makes it seem like less is more.

Bovine colostrum: Your tool for accelerated recovery, repair and anti-aging

Douglas A. Wyatt September 10, 2018

Research Results Bovine colostrum is an integral tool in the modern chiropractor’s toolbox, and one that is suitable for every patient walking through your door. Whether patients come in for treatment of an acute injury, chronic pain or a monthly adjustment, you can address the one health need that spans every health care profession—aging and its related conditions.

Is active sitting a solution to low-back pain?

Turner Osler September 7, 2018

Clinical Concerns Humans are designed to move. Indeed, for at least three million years, people lived as hunter-gatherers, foraging, running after prey, running from predators, remaining fairly active all day, every day. So it was an immense change when, about 100 years ago, farming became mechanized and the majority of workers sat down at desk jobs. This was an unplanned experiment on a massive scale and, unfortunately, it hasn’t gone well.

Cannabidiol is a remarkably versatile option for wellness

Amy Stankiewicz September 6, 2018

Feature These days, even if they haven’t tried it for themselves, almost everyone knows what cannabidiol (CBD) is, and that it’s derived from the hemp plant. Increasingly, health care practitioners are suggesting this alternative supplement—whether it be in pill form, an oil tincture, topical salve, or a sublingual spray—to patients to help to alleviate pain, inflammation, anxiety and more.

Why you need a safety net

James Fedich September 4, 2018

Student DC I remember not long after enrolling in chiropractic school, and well before graduation, realizing that chiropractors don’t have a safety net. I have come to see now, after 14 years in practice and coaching and speaking to hundreds of chiropractors, that this lack of a back-up plan is one of our biggest challenges. First of all, doctors have always been an entrepreneurial bunch. That includes MDs, DCs, DOs, and DPMs.

How to survive the chiropractic cross-examination

Charles Theisler September 4, 2018

Legal Ease The great courtroom dramas in movies and on television are both captivating and inspiring. The most riveting scenes are filled with heart-stopping suspense and excitement, and usually involve cross-examination. It’s the lifeblood of a trial where no fact or assertion on direct examination is deemed settled until it has successfully weathered a cross-examination.

Know the new rules for taxing pass-through income

Mark E. Battersby September 2, 2018

Money Management The formation of pass-through entities, such as partnerships, limited liability companies (LLCs), S corporations and sole proprietorships, have long been extremely popular with chiropractors and their practices. In fact, one form of pass-through entity, the S corporation, is currently the most-used business entity. Limited liability companies (LLCs), however, are coming on strong and are the pass-through most frequently chosen today.

3 tax saving adjustments chiropractors need to make

Don Rasmussen September 1, 2018

Money Management Doctors of chiropractic use the term subluxation to depict the altered position of a vertebra and subsequent functional loss that determines the location to perform a spinal adjustment. For most chiropractors, when it comes to the subject of taxes, financial subluxations are the lack of effective tax planning. This, in turn, creates financial loss and pain.

What you need to know about better data protection

Jeff Brown August 31, 2018

Tech Talk While best-practices exist for the use of Wi-Fi connections, there are no guarantees of absolute security. Your duty, therefore, is not to achieve 100-percent security (this is impossible) but rather to assess and reduce risk to a level you consider acceptable. To begin, you must first understand the inherent vulnerabilities of Wi-Fi networks.
