So what?

So, what is a chiropractor doing with a blog? There are a gazillion other blogs out there? So, what can I get out of this one?

So what?

Well, that’s actually a really good question to ask when it comes to health and medicine. There are announcements made every day about new discoveries, new recommendations, and new gadgets. But, so what? “So, what can it do for me?” And how does it fit into the rest of healthcare? Is it really exciting, groundbreaking new information – or is it spin? Did the journalist making the report really understand the scientific paper? What should I do about it, if anything? So what!?

So, that gets to the big idea behind this blog. My goal is to share information and interpretations about new research and information when it comes to orthopedics and rehabilitation. I’ll share how I approach a patient’s problem and how my thinking changes when new data is available. When I go to a seminar or conference, I’ll take you behind the scenes as to what is happening out there. When a news or journal article is published, I’ll help you put it into context. Feel free to bring your questions and comments, too! Let’s work this thing together. Heck, if we’re not careful, we both might just learn something here.

Of course, there may be the occasional odd bit of trivia or other diversion. Hey, it’s a blog!
