NOTICE BOARDMiscellaneous stuff
I fairly regularly get e-mails at CONTACT, sometimes urgent, asking for direction and advice. I spend some time replying, and my email is returned. Remember, you may have to white-list my email address with your service provider. CHECK AND RECHECK YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS!
 Custom Search CHANGEI am returning to semi-retirement in native South Africa at the end of August 2010. Obviously this means a complete unheaval which may be for a week or less, but will probably be for longer, with reconnecting to a new server etc meaning considerable delays.A little patience if you don't get an immediate reply from me. I'm looking forward to starting a formal research project in 2011 on what chiropractic has to offer to the patient, pre- and post- hip surgery.
Do you want a sensible, helpful answer...?Then don't send a letter like this one that I received this morning: "What exercises must I do, and which should I avoid?"
The more details you can give the better, but at least: Returned unopened emailsPlease, please, check your email address carefully. It's very irritating to send a lengthy reply, only to have it returned.Shannon, you typed your email address incorrectly. There's no way for me to contact you: shannon.birger@state.sd.gov
SIX GOLDEN RULES FOR CHIROPRACTORSAn observant medical doctor, Dr Robert Lamberts, has written a very thought-provoking article on what patients don't like about their doctors, what they're afraid of, their sense of rejection ... I have revamped it under the title of Golden Rules.And I'd like to invite you the patient to respond to these rules. Have you had an experience with your chiropractor where you sense that you are not the one at the centre of attention, or that s/he is putting you down, dismissing what you are feeling ...? Then please feel free to make a contribution. We Chiropractors need to hear from you! Obviously your name won't be published, and I don't recommend you provide your chiropractor's name. This isn't a witch hunt. Just: can we learn from negative experiences? LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU! Click here:
SIX GOLDEN RULES FOR CHIROPRACTORS ... What's hot at Chiropractic-Help.com?NOTICE BOARDMy own interest currently is how Chiropractic can help joints outside of the spine. By applying the same principles as we use with the spine, I'm getting very good results with hips right now, for example. The hip is prone to two conditions: too much cover (Femero Acetabular Impingement Syndrome) and too little cover (Hip Dysplasia) both of which offer much challenge to the clinician. Pain in the groin is the hallmark. Untreated, both prematurely become arthritic. Our Healthy Living Tips remains an evergreen, very popular page. Did you know the vast, and I mean vast, benefits of eating raw honey regularly? Along with Parsley benefits, raw honey increases fertility... Yesterday was a surprise day for me. The first sign of Spring brought me back in contact with my spiritual roots: Latent Heat Fusion.
TURNOVERI'd like to thank you our readers because I know the enormous growth in our readership is in large measure due to you. You've obviously been passing on pages that you found useful to your friends and neighbours.So, a very big thank you. Growth from 28 000 /month a year ago to over 100 000 in August 2010 is to my mind impressive. Update: May 2010: The first day when over 4000 pages were opened at Chiropractic Help. In May 2010 the best day was 2500 pages. Now a request. Growth of your newsletter in % terms is even more impressive, but off a very small base. From 68 signed up persons a year ago to 548 last month, and now over 800. To be honest I've several times thought I should drop the newsletter. Undoubtedly we are in a society that is suffering from information overload. There are only so many hours in the day. But, if you value the newsletters, would you consider forwarding them to friends and family. Even your doctor! If my newsletter went to 5000 people, i'd be happy. But for 800 people? My time would be far better spent writing a new page for the general website. But anyway, thank you just for reading Chiropractic Help. Without you this website wouldn't be worth a thing. Well, that's not entirely true. I've had enormous fun writing it. But instead I could go gliding! Click on the this pic of my glider landing. Such fun but for the faint hearted!
