You're not the only one who's had enough.
Chiropractors face unique challenges: Insurance claims that deny after a set visit count, forcing a medical-necessity justification or a switch to cash care mid-plan. Keeping patients on a multi-visit corrective care plan when they want to stop the moment the acute pain fades. Documenting a defensible SOAP note for every quick adjustment when you're seeing forty patients in a day. Pricing and selling care-plan packages versus per-visit billing without confusing patients or tripping insurance rules. On top of all that, Square charges $29/month ($348/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median Chiropractor earns $75,000/year. Software at $348/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.

The lobby fills before he's finished his coffee because high-volume practices run on tight rooms. He moves between three adjusting tables in a rhythm: review the chart, palpate the spine, set the drop piece, deliver the adjustment, and dictate a quick SOAP note before the next patient is gowned. A new patient gets the full workup, a posture scan, range-of-motion measurements, and a sit-down to explain a corrective care plan, because the hardest sell is convincing someone to keep coming after the pain stops. Midmorning his front desk flags an insurance denial: a patient's covered visits ran out and the plan still has eight to go, so he has to decide between a medical-necessity appeal and moving them to a cash plan. He runs flexion-distraction on a disc patient, sets up a TENS unit, and keeps the rooms turning. Between adjustments he's signing off documentation he didn't fully finish during the morning rush, knowing every note has to stand up to an audit. The afternoon mirrors the morning. At close he reviews tomorrow's care-plan renewals, checks which patients are falling off their visit schedule, and reconciles the day's mix of insurance and cash payments before locking the adjusting rooms.
