Visiting NFL Stadiums

Today marks the first day of postseason play in the NFL, and while I’m excited there’s games on Saturday and Sunday, I’m already missing regular-season NFL play. For several years now, I’ve been traveling (oftentimes with Raiders fan MrsChiropractic) to football stadiums throughout the United States. We try to visit at least two stadiums per season, choosing locations that are easy to get to from major airports (since we fly out of LAX). During the 2011 NFL season, I got to see a great game at Raymond James Stadium (Tampa Bay Buccaneers Stadium) in Tampa, Florida. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Stadium

Chiropractic Christmas Office Decorations

by Michael Dorausch, DC It’s that time of year again (2011 went by lightening fast) to get your chiropractic office decorated for the December holiday season. Having been practicing at the same location in Los Angeles for nearly 10 years now, we’ve accumulated quite a bunch of Christmas decorations (more get added each year). Each year it is tradition in our office to put up Christmas decorations the weekend after Thanksgiving. Christmas Cards from Chiropractic Patients An easy way to fill the office with joy is by saving the Christmas cards patients send to your office each year. For the

Maria Wendy Rediffmail Classified Ad Scammer

Maria Wendy (unlikely this scammers real name) has been added to the list of individuals attempting to con sellers of chiropractic equipment (and very likely sellers on other classified ad websites too) selling ads via the chiropractic classifieds section of Planet Chiropractic. Using the Rediffmail account mariawendy@rediffmail.com, this user contacted chiropractors posting items like chiropractic adjusting tables, with a template email. I’m sharing it here so anyone searching to see if they are potentially being scammed can know this is fraud. Here’s the first email… – – – – – Hello, I came across your ad and I’ll like to know the

by Frank Zolli, DC (Dean, University of Bridgeport College of Chiropractic) As part of the clinical training program at the University of  Bridgeport College of Chiropractic (UBCC) students are required to perform clinic services, as has been required by all accredited chiropractic institutions for decades. Every chiropractor while going through our training has to go through the process of helping to securing patients to meet graduation requirements and be able to practice chiropractic. At UBCC we take that academic responsibility seriously and have a slightly different paradigm in our clinic focus. We look at that as an opportunity to make

Chiropractic Equipment Classified Scams

I’ve joked that I’ve posted on this subject 1000 times, but I’ll post 1000 more, if it helps educate people using classified advertisement websites. It’s the Internet, and scammers are everywhere (but the community is kicking butt). Users of classified advertising websites, like the chiropractic classifieds by Planet Chiropractic, would love to believe that everyone they receive e-mails from can be trusted, but that’s not the case (that goes for any classified ad website). Here’s two of the latest e-mail accounts (along with IP addresses) that have proven to be fraudulent accounts run by scammers intent on separating people from

Celebrity SEO Marketing by Rey Valentin

Help, I can’t be found online! Recently I received a hand signed letter from Rey Valentin of Celebrity SEO Marketing. I can’t recall ANY of my SEO friends ever sending me a hand written letter (you bastards). Well, Rey Valentin must have thought it important to contact me, and take the time to sign his letter by hand, and even hand address the envelope. I’m already getting the feeling he’s a special kind of SEO. Take a read through what he sent and let me know what you think. Rey Valentin – 1040 N. Kenmore Ave. #403, Los Angeles, CA

Brian Kelly Presidential Inauguration Event Photos

By Michael Dorausch, DC OK gang, I’m back from Oakland, California (AirBart FTW!) and I still have loads of photos to sort through from the Life West weekend event. Not surprisingly, things cranked in my LA chiropractic office today, as a humorous reminder of how our head space effects volume and flow. I’ll get some Luau photos posted before the weekend, but here’s some more from the Friday night inaugural event.
