The Pattern We Keep Seeing

Why Most Chiropractic Practices Plateau at $40K/Month

"Every time we work with a chiropractor doing $20K-$50K/month, the same patterns show up..."

What They Think

× "We need more new patients"
× "Our Google Ads don't work"
× "We should be on social media more"
× "Insurance patients aren't worth it"

What's Actually Happening

✓ You're getting new patients. You're losing 60% of them after the first visit because there's no follow-up system converting them to care plans.
✓ Your Google Ads are working -- your landing page converts at 2% when top practices hit 9%. That's a 4.5x gap you're paying for.
✓ 87% of chiropractic patients find their provider via Google Search, not Instagram. Social builds trust, but search captures intent.
✓ Insurance patients have a $1,600/yr LTV on maintenance plans. The issue isn't the patient type -- it's the lack of a reactivation system for lapsed patients.
Data proof: Of the chiropractic practices we've audited, 68% had no patient reactivation system. They were spending $3K-$8K/month acquiring new patients while ignoring the 400+ lapsed patients already in their database.

How to read this: If your show rate is below 55% or your 6-month retention is below 25%, you likely have a follow-up and care plan conversion problem -- not a patient volume problem.

"Month 2: We discovered that 62% of new patients never returned after their first visit. We built a 5-touch post-visit sequence (SMS + email) that converted 31% of single-visit patients into care plans -- adding $18K/month in recurring revenue at zero ad spend."
Is This the Right Fit?

This Is for You If

  • Your practice does $20K+/month and you want to scale
  • You want to fill your schedule 5 days a week, not just Monday-Tuesday
  • You're ready for a 90-day commitment to building real growth infrastructure
  • You want to know exactly which marketing dollar generated which patient

This Is Not for You If

  • You just opened your practice and have under 50 patients
  • You want 'brand awareness' without tracking which patients came from where
  • You're not willing to implement a patient follow-up system
  • You're looking for the cheapest option, not the most effective one
