Since the inception of Next Generation Chiropractor, I’ve been incessantly focused on educating chiropractors on the importance of using blogs and social media to help grow their online presence, educate the world about chiropractic, and more efficiently market their products and services.
If you haven’t noticed, I’ve really poured my heart and soul into this to help those who want to be helped but are technically challenged.
Regardless, I also understand that there are chiropractors that simply don’t want to learn the technical components but rather just want to get online quickly, inexpensively, and efficiently.
For them, I launched Chiropractic Blog Designs.
Chiropractic Blog Designs’ purpose is to simplify the web for chiropractors. Our focus is to provide the very best in design, functionality, and, more importantly, results.
How do we accomplish this?
By building websites around powerful blogging software so that whatever message you want to promote can be easily broadcasted to the world effortlessly.
We also pride ourselves on providing affordable website packages that’ll fit anyone’s budget. For example, if you need to get online fast you can choose the Basic Package for $497 and then upgrade later to either the Pro or Total Package.
Another nice benefit is that you’re not locked into a service agreement that holds your site hostage through monthly subscription fees. In other words, you own the site and the domain name right out of the gate.
There are other services that I could discuss today as well — everything from SEO services, database management, and PayPal integration. To find out more, simply visit the Services section.

Question: Do you currently use a free blogging platform through WordPress or Blogger? If so, do you realize the reasons why you shouldn’t and why a self-hosted blog is vital to your online success?

About Dr. Patrick MacNamara
Every chiropractor should be blogging by now. We have such a chance to spread the word all over the world about Chiropractic – Faster, Cheaper and Smarter via a BLOG.
Also, social media is here to stay and those who will not embrace it will fall way behind. If you are a chiropractor who reads this message and who does not have a blog yet, get your blog going right now. Don’t postpone till tomorrow or next month or next year. Each wasted day counts against you.
Well said, Dr. Burt! Thanks for your insight. I appreciate it greatly!
I heard search engines are giving better ratings to blogs these days…is this true?
Not just “these days”, Dr. Smiley, but have been since the inception of blogs. Why? Because they’re dynamic in nature instead of static. If you’re not familiar with that concept, think of a dynamic site as one that changes frequently whereas a static site is one that doesn’t and is more like an online brochure.
Thanks for stopping by the site!
Hi Dr MacNamara-
I’ve wondered for some time about creating some form of online community for my patients, and I’ve considered both a blog and a forum. Do you have any comments about the benefits and drawbacks of each of these?
Also, being a busy chiropractor, my concern about blogging or operating a forum is how much time these activities might take. What is your experience in terms of my time investment?
Many thanks
Jason Barritt
First of all, thanks for visiting the site, Dr. Barritt. I trust all is well in beautiful Australia!
To answer your questions, I’d recommend building a blog first and then a forum later. The blog allows you to grow an audience, build relationships, and establish authority much quicker. It’s also fairly easy to maintain.
Once you’ve got things rolling, then concentrate on building your email list. This will help you separate the serious readers from the casual. It’ll also allow you to market your products and services to those that give you permission to do so.
Then, you can take things to an entirely different level by creating a membership site just for patients. This is where you’d want your forum to reside. By following this model, you’ll spend minimal time servicing questions to people that matter most to you and your business.
Need a good example?
Then look no further than Next Generation Chiropractor and Blogging Chiros.
The blog, aka Next Generation Chiropractor, has helped me establish relationships, build an audience, and gain authority among my peers. However, my membership site, aka Blogging Chiros, allows me to provide more personal service and attention to chiropractors on a much deeper level.
