Shaw Chiropractic
A Medical-Legal Newsletter for Personal Injury Attorneys
by Dr. Steven W. Shaw

Choosing the Right Chiropractor

A few months ago, an attorney and I were talking over lunch. He was commenting on my newsletter and candidly mentioned that no one really cares about the information in the newsletter. He noted that the purpose of the newsletter is primarily promotional and that I should present more information about the superior services available at my offices.

I firmly believe that the academic format and newsworthy content of the majority of my newsletters is appreciated. I regularly receive feedback from attorneys noting the practical value of the information in their everyday practices. While I don't agree that no one cares about the newsletter topics I do agree that there are significant advantages of utilizing the Shaw Chiropractic Group (SCG) over the Atypical@ doctors office. With this in mind, I am taking the liberty of identifying some of the advantages of our offices which might help you when helping your clients find a provider for their injury management needs.
