Sound Familiar?

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.

The average service business waits 23 days to get paid. Here's where the gap lives.

It's not the work — it's the steps between 'done' and 'paid.' On-site invoicing, automatic generation from the job record, and same-day reminders compress 23 days to next-day. Every day you shave off is cash that's in your account instead of someone else's.

FAQ

Is Nexa actually built for chiropractors?

Yes. The invoicing module is designed for chiropractors who need to professional invoicing with payment tracking, reminders, and automated follow-ups. Plus you get scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting — tools most chiropractors end up needing anyway. $279 total for everything.

$279 seems expensive upfront. Is it worth it?

$279 spread over 3 years is $7.75/month. You're currently paying $134/month for Vagaro + QuickBooks + Square — that's $5,395 over 3 years. Nexa saves you $5,116 over that period. The math isn't close.

What if I don't like it?

30-day money-back guarantee. Full refund, no questions. If Nexa doesn't save you $500 in year one, you get every penny back.

Can I switch from Vagaro?

Yes. Export your data as CSV, import into Nexa. Most chiropractors are fully switched in 1-2 days. Run both in parallel until you're confident — zero risk.

How does Nexa compare to what other chiropractors spend?

The median Chiropractor earns $75,000/year. Software subscriptions at $1,608/year represent 2.1% of that income — every single year. Nexa at $279 once is 0.37% of annual income, paid one time. The difference compounds every year you operate.

Why One App Beats Three Subscriptions

Most chiropractors cobble together 3-5 separate apps — one for scheduling, one for invoicing, one for bookkeeping, maybe another for client management. Each one charges monthly. None of them talk to each other. So you end up copying client info between apps, manually reconciling invoices with your books, and losing track of details that fall through the cracks.

For the way a Chiropractor actually works, Nexa keeps one record instead of five logins. You finish the job and the invoice generates from that same record — no retyping into a second app between calls. The hours feed your P&L automatically, a client who books online lands in your CRM with their history, and the A hydraulic drop-piece (Thompson) adjusting table you bought once is finally matched by software you buy once. The "insurance claims that deny after a set visit count, forcing a medical-necessity justification or a switch to cash care mid-plan" problem goes away. No Zapier, no CSV exports. $279 once — or $99 today and two more — and the whole integrated system is yours, break-even in 2.1 months. 30-day money-back guarantee. And because there's nothing to renew, a Chiropractor who switches keeps paying $0/month while competitors keep paying $134/month — that gap compounds every year you own it.
