"With Chiropractic Gateway,
doctors have one site where they can find and access an incredible treasure
trove of information," said Terry A. Rondberg, D.C., WCA president.
"Although the site is extremely extensive, it is very easy to navigate and
use."
Dr. Rondberg noted that one
of the site's advantages is that doctors can spend as much -- or as little
-- time there as they want. "You can participate in only one ChiroChat or
other event if you like, or you can wander around for hours, immersed in
more chiropractic information than I've ever seen in one place. It's not
only instructive, it's fun."
For an annual fee of just
$195, doctors receive a full‑member subscription plus nearly $5,000 worth of
free gifts provided by Chiropractic Gateway partners, including items such
as: the "Best of On Purpose" audio cassette program by Chiropractic
Leadership Alliance; a set of two doctor‑patient videos from Foot Levelers;
a "Chiropractic is Health" t‑shirt from Scrip Chiropractic Supply; an audio
cassette from Breakthrough Coaching Success Strategies; the "Master Plan" CD
from The Masters Circle; Dr. David Kats' outstanding book on retirement,
"Going Out On Top;" patient brochures from Patient Media; A Twelve‑Month
Marketing Calendar from The Waiting List Practice; Brican's "Path to
Excellence" audio cassette, ICPA Children's Parental Education Poster; The
Family Practice "Creating Lifetime New Patients Wherever You Go" CD; 30
Visual Odyssey Subluxation PocketPatholators; and many others.
"If
you're not a member already, you need to check out Chiropractic Gateway and
see what all the talk is about," said Rondberg. "If you do, I'm sure you'll
join the rest of your colleagues in what could be the most exciting online
resource the profession has."
