The ChiroClips Story

We've only just begun, and people are already asking us how (and why) we started a clip art company for chiropractors. Well, here's the story.... In trying to help a dear friend develop her practice as a chiropractor, we discovered an unexpected stumbling block. Try as we might, we just couldn't find viable chiropractic clip art for the computer! Not one chiropractic caduceus, no logo symbols, no spinal segments, and certainly no subluxations. Oh, there were one or two illustrations of chiropractors doing adjustments, but they looked like something drawn in the '50s.

Here we were, two extremely computer-literate professionals with close to 50 years of combined expertise in computer science, marketing and graphic arts, literally unable to put together a simple ad with illustrations from our desktops, much less design business cards, stationery and brochures. Every chiropractor we knew (and boy, do we know a bunch) owned a personal computer. No one had any clip art. And everyone wanted to find some. It was clearly up to us to do something about it. So we did.

We developed ChiroClips. Computerized clip art created to help chiropractors enhance their practices through marketing and patient education.

ChiroClips is the joint effort of a team of professionals with a commitment to producing a diverse collection of attractive, high quality, and truly functional clip art images for the chiropractic community. As a team, we consider you, our customers, to be partners in our mission. We fully intend to take a personal, open and interactive approach to meeting your ongoing needs.

Toward that end, we've created a new package, Design Ditties, based on customer feedback. And, we've just finished our new web site — thanks for visiting! Be sure to browse around, see our entire line of images, try out sample images, learn about using clip art, and explore other practice-building ideas. We look forward to getting to know you, and to finding out more about how we can help you in the future....

Pat Costello & Jan King

Pat Costello, President (click to send mail)
After 20 years in the corporate world, Pat Costello had acquired plenty of experience designing systems, creating technological solutions, and managing people. She was even the editor of her community’s monthly newsletter. So, when a friend enlisted her aid in helping build a chiropractic practice, she was eager to help. But, when she started to design the office forms, brochures, patient material, business cards and stationery needed to support a growing practice, she was surprised to find that computerized clip art for chiropractors did not exist. That’s when she spoke with her good friend Jan and a new company was born!

Jan King, Vice President (click to send mail)
As creative director for her own award-winning design firm, Jan King has been creating sophisticated, eye-catching promotions for large and small businesses for 25 years. During that time, she has shifted her daily work from the drawing table to the PC. Many of her present clients use Jan’s designs on their own computers, working within templates to change their message from promotion to promotion. Which is exactly why Pat asked her to help develop easy-to-use high-quality clip art for chiropractors!
