By Michael Dorausch, DC Two things that are really near and dear to my heart, skateboarding, and the city of Venice, California. I was a kid skating Long Island around the time DogTown skateboard paraphernalia (mostly artfully done wooden skateboard decks) begin appearing in the New York suburbs. I figure that was around 1976 or 1977, and in Los Angeles, the skateboard movement had already long been underway.

By Michael Dorausch, DC Going through some photo archives after having been off-line for the past few weeks (enjoying some summer fun in July time outdoors without a laptop) and I thought I’d post seven classics. Chiropractic Leadership Alliance Booth – I’m pretty sure this image was taken in January of 2000 even though that’s a Windows 98 logo appearing on the screen. It’s part of a booth set up for the Chiropractic Leadership Alliance featuring Dr. Patrick Gentempo. I estimate Dr. Gentempo has been speaking for more than two decades now in the field of chiropractic. He’s a great

By Michael Dorausch, DC While I was preparing to leave for the office this afternoon I received a phone call from a chiropractor that is new to practicing in California. Dr. Glenn Larsen of Lifetime Health Chiropractic Center in Santa Barbara, California called me thanks to a referral from Dr. Anita Morgenstern in New York. Dr. Glenn called seeking chiropractors in the Santa Barbara area that he could fellowship with and I’m hoping we come across other chiropractors in the Southern California area that welcome Glenn into their circle. I’m hoping Dr. Glenn doesn’t have to create a circle of
By Michael Dorausch, DC Many thank you’s to the folks at the official Los Angeles Marathon website for having Planet Chiropractic at the 2009 LA Marathon as part of event media coverage. Our coverage of the LA Marathon began last week, with news on preparations for the event, and concerns about potential heat in Los Angeles. The weather turned out to be spectacular for running a marathon, as morning temperatures hovered around the low 60s Fahrenheit, something event organizers and runners were all happy about. On Saturday, Planet Chiropractic had news on 6 elite runners and their thoughts on running
By Michael Dorausch, DC I’ve been playing around with a Canon digital SLR camera I purchased last month for taking photographs around chiropractic offices. The plan is to begin using in-house photographs for article posts ( like this spinal column seen in a recent classified ad news post) that are of better quality than we’ve shown in the past. I’m new to using a digital SLR but so far it’s been pretty interesting. I recently picked up a flash attachment and some other accessories. Next on the list is a specialized lens for taking photographs primarily inside chiropractic offices. Utilizing
By Michael Dorausch, DC I was looking at some xray photos today and I came across this AP Pelvic Lumbar Spine X-Ray. It was taken with an analog xray system and I took a photo of the film while it was up on a viewbox. Unlike the LMFAO Cervical Spine Xray post I don’t have any easy to remember lessons on this film, but it is marked and I figured I’d share some of the information viewable. First off, who can tell me if this is male or female? Remember that from radiology classes? You’ve probably already noticed there is
By Michael Dorausch, DC One of the things I like most about attending conferences is the opportunity to catch up with friends. Ppl can often find me in the lobbies chatting it up and snapping photos of chiropractors, CAs, chiropractic students, and whatever else catches my eye. While at DCS earlier this month I took lots of photos (and did some chiropractic video interviews too). The images are useless just sitting on my hard drive, so hopefully I’ll manage to post most of them to the site in the days ahead. Born in the USA was the theme t-shirt for
By Michael Dorausch, DC I spotted the coolest Ford F-150 yesterday while at the Orange County Performing Arts Center. I was in the parking garage when this vehicle caught my eye. Fortunately, I had my Man Purse (which many people made fun of yesterday) with all my gadgets in it. Whipped out my coolpix camera and snapped several photos. I’m not into Vinyl advertising on vehicles (unless it’s a big van or something similar). On regular cars and trucks I think it looks cheesy. This I thought was pretty cool though. Not too flashy and the lettering looked like it
Spizerinctum: Anything that puts happiness in the head, determination in the heart, energy in the hand and invisible courage in the will. — BJ Palmer, DC, PhC. The photo comes from the Pennsylvania office of Dr. Tina Sigafoose. Very large BJ Palmer painting and quote on wall in front reception area. Get the idea, all else follows.
By Michael Dorausch, DC While working for planetchiropractic.com I’ve taken thousands of photographs of chiropractors across the planet. Some chiropractors are old, some chiropractors are young, some chiropractors are yet to be (as they were students when we took their photographs). In preserving the history of chiropractic and those we’ve crossed paths with, I’m sharing some photos, and hoping to get some feedback on the whereabouts of some of these DCs that have been digitized here. Do you recognize any of these five doctors of chiropractic? They are all graduates from the Cleveland Chiropractic school in Los Angeles, California. I
