One nice feature of Dr. Madeira's site is that his mailing address and phone number are listed in the same location on every page, so that people visiting the site will know exactly how to contact his office. As health care becomes more integrated, many DCs have begun including news items and articles about areas of health care other than chiropractic on their websites. One of the best examples of that is physiciansplus.net, with integration a major reason it earned a ChiroMaster award. The real strength of Physicians Plus is its diversity. The site provides information not just on chiropractic, but traditional medicine, physical therapy and massage therapy.
Some chiropractic practices spend thousands of dollars to create a professional looking site.
Based on the amount of work Dr. Faulkner put into his site, it's difficult to tell his creation apart from one that probably cost several thousand dollars to design. Dr. Edwards completely remodeled his site with a new layout. The site also includes links to every chiropractic licensing board and college in the country, as well as information on Dr. Edwards' own practice in Emporia, Kansas. Next year's ChiroMaster contest will be held in the summer of 2000. Look for more information on next year's contest in a future issue of Dynamic Chiropractic .
