Why 71% of new chiropractic patients never return without a care plan and how to close the first-visit enrollment that changes that number.
Designed for chiropractic practices from the ground up. SOAP notes, care package management, scheduling, and billing in one platform.
71% of new chiropractic patients do not return after their first visit without a care plan in place. They experienced relief. They intended to come back. But without a specific plan with a specific commitment, the urgency fades and the next appointment never happens. The independent chiropractor who presents a care package with a specific price at the first visit retains significantly more of these patients.
The first visit is the highest-use enrollment moment you have. The patient is in your office. They have experienced your work. They believe in the value. The care package offer at this moment converts at 2.4x the rate of follow-up offers.
| Package Type | Rural Market | Mid-Size Market | Metro Market | Scope |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Initial Relief (4-6 visits, 3-4 weeks) | $299-$399 | $399-$549 | $549-$749 | Acute pain management and initial stabilization |
| Corrective Care (12 visits, 8 weeks) | $699-$899 | $899-$1,199 | $1,199-$1,599 | Structural correction and functional improvement |
| Maintenance Plan (monthly, 4 visits) | $149-$199 | $199-$269 | $269-$349 | Ongoing wellness and preventive care |
| Family Wellness Package | $399-$549 | $549-$749 | $749-$999 | 2 adults, shared visits, flexible scheduling |
Start with your per-visit rate. Multiply by the number of visits in the package. Subtract 10-15% for the commitment discount. The discount rewards the patient for committing to their care plan. It should feel like a genuine saving, not a gesture.
When a new patient calls to book their first adjustment, someone needs to answer. Missed calls rarely call back.
