Chiropractors: rebooking patients before they leave
How chiropractors can rebook patients at the end of each visit: booking the next adjustment from the list, care plans as series, calendar files, gaps and changes.
5 min read
The easiest moment to book a patient's next adjustment is before they walk out of the door. Do it from your bookings list in a few seconds at the end of each visit, book a care plan as a series of dates at once, and give the patient a calendar file so the dates are in their own phone. Your week fills with planned visits, and patients don't have to remember to call.
Book from the list in seconds
On Book, you can create a booking yourself from your bookings list: first and last name are required, email and phone optional. Pick the service and the slot that suits the patient, and it leaves your public page so nobody else takes it. If you enter the patient's email, they receive a confirmation with a calendar file.
Services that match your visits
Each service has a name, a price and an optional description shown on your public page, and each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.
| Service | Example slot | Places |
|---|---|---|
| New patient consultation | 45 min | 1 |
| Adjustment | 15 min | 1 |
| Re-assessment | 30 min | 1 |
| Express adjustment day slot | 10 min | 1 |
Durations are examples: set your own, and state your fees in each description.
Care plans as a series
If a patient follows a care plan, such as weekly visits for six weeks, book all six dates before they leave. Slots repeat each week on the weekdays you choose until an end date, so the same time each week is available for weeks ahead. The patient gets a calendar file for each date if you enter their email.
Keep room for new patients
If regulars book every slot weeks ahead, new patients find nothing free. Keep a few new-patient consultations open each week as their own service, so your public page always shows a first visit.
Short-appointment days
Some practices run a day of short adjustments back to back. A separate express service with short slots lets returning patients book those times online, while longer slots stay on other days.
When plans change
Patients can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and you move the visit from your list, to another time or another service. Book doesn't email clients about changes, so confirm the new time yourself. A cancelled slot goes back on your page at once.
Reminders and privacy
Book doesn't send reminders; the calendar file is what keeps the date in front of the patient. The booking note appears in that file, so keep health details for the visit. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
