Dr. André Marie Gonthier, DC, and president of the Ordre, is proud to launch this new public portal for chi- ropractic information. “We want the public at large to have access to a reference site for chiro- practic, with information that is evidence-based and complete,” says Dr. Gonthier, “and which, furthermore, is presented in a comprehensible and user-friendly format. In this way, the public can enjoy navigating the site while learning about the profession.” The site was created as a way to reflect the fact that the profession of chiropractic can offer a unique, yet solidly established, service to Quebecers. The Ordre wished to create a site showcasing the natural and safe approach that is at the foundation of chi- ropractic. As well, by adhering to a basic website design, which is, at the same time, easy to navigate and very dynamic, the site promises to facilitate public discovery and learning with respect to the profession.
