You are the chiropractor and the business owner. When you are with a patient, the AI ensures every call is answered professionally. No more choosing between patient care and the ringing phone.
Multi-Practitioner Clinic
Multiple chiropractors, massage therapists, and wellness practitioners under one roof. The AI captures appointment requests across providers and services without confusion.
Sports Chiropractic
Athletes call at all hours. Whether it is a game-day injury, pre-competition adjustment, or rehabilitation follow-up, the AI captures every inquiry and appointment request promptly.
Family & Pediatric Chiropractic
Parents requesting appointments for multiple family members need flexibility. The AI captures multi-person requests, school-hour preferences, and gentle care inquiries with ease.
Integrated Wellness Centre
Clinics offering chiropractic alongside acupuncture, physiotherapy, massage therapy, and naturopathy. The AI routes each caller to the right service and practitioner.
PHIPA, PIPEDA & HIPAA Compliance for Chiropractic Clinics
Chiropractic clinics handle sensitive patient health information daily. Vocatively is built from the ground up to meet the strictest healthcare privacy regulations in Canada and the United States. Your patient data is protected at every step.
- PHIPA compliant — Ontario's Personal Health Information Protection Act
- PIPEDA compliant — Canada's federal privacy legislation
- HIPAA compliant — US Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
- Canadian data residency — all patient data stored in Canadian data centres
- No audio recordings stored — only encrypted call summaries
- Encrypted email delivery — summaries sent via encrypted channels
- 3-tier data retention — detailed records anonymized after 90 days, analytics retained
Why Compliance Matters for Chiropractors
As regulated healthcare professionals, chiropractors in Canada must comply with provincial health information acts (like PHIPA in Ontario) and the federal PIPEDA. Using a non-compliant phone answering service puts your practice at risk of:
- -Fines up to $100,000 per offence under PHIPA
- -Complaints to the Information and Privacy Commissioner
- -Regulatory college discipline and licence risk
- -Loss of patient trust and practice reputation
Vocatively eliminates these risks with compliance built into every layer.

Caller
"Hi, I've been having lower back pain for about two weeks and my friend recommended your clinic. I've never seen a chiropractor before. Can I book an appointment?"
AI Receptionist
"I'd be happy to help you get started. For new patients, we begin with an initial consultation that includes a health history review and examination. Do you have any preferred days or times that work best for you? I'll pass that along to our team so they can confirm a slot for you."

Chiropractic Terminology Your AI Receptionist Understands
Vocatively is trained on chiropractic-specific vocabulary so it can communicate knowledgeably with your patients. Here are key terms the AI uses when answering calls for your clinic.
Chiropractic Adjustment
A controlled, sudden force applied to a spinal joint by a chiropractor to improve spinal motion and physical function. Also called spinal manipulation, this is the core treatment in chiropractic care.
Subluxation
A partial dislocation or misalignment of a vertebra that may affect nerve function. Chiropractors identify and correct subluxations through targeted adjustments.
Maintenance Care
Ongoing, periodic chiropractic visits designed to maintain spinal health and prevent recurrence of symptoms after the initial treatment plan is complete. Typically scheduled every 4 to 6 weeks.
Initial Consultation
The first appointment at a chiropractic clinic, which includes a health history review, physical examination, and often X-rays to develop a personalized treatment plan.
Spinal Manipulation
A therapeutic technique where a chiropractor uses their hands or a device to apply a controlled thrust to a joint of the spine. This is the primary treatment modality used by chiropractors worldwide.
Wellness Plan
A structured chiropractic care plan that extends beyond pain relief to include proactive health maintenance, ergonomic advice, exercise recommendations, and regular adjustment schedules.
Treatment Frequency
The recommended number of chiropractic visits per week or month, determined by the chiropractor based on the patient's condition, severity, and response to care. Frequency typically decreases as the patient improves.
Spinal Decompression
A non-surgical therapy that gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on compressed discs and nerves. Often used for herniated discs, sciatica, and chronic back pain.
Active Release Technique (ART)
A soft-tissue treatment method used by chiropractors to address muscle adhesions, scar tissue, and repetitive strain injuries. Combines movement with precise pressure.
Chiropractic Intake Form
The patient information form completed before the initial consultation. The AI captures the patient's contact information and reason for visit — all clinical intake forms and medical history are completed in-office.

Absolutely. Vocatively supports multi-practitioner requests. Callers can request a specific chiropractor, and the AI captures the request accordingly. This is ideal for clinics with associates, locums, or integrated wellness teams offering massage therapy and acupuncture alongside chiropractic care.
What happens when a patient calls about an emergency or acute injury?
The AI is trained to recognize urgent situations. For acute injuries or emergencies, it provides your clinic's triage instructions, advises the caller appropriately, and flags the call as urgent in the summary sent to your team. It does not attempt to provide medical advice.

Yes. Vocatively answers calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Whether a prospective patient calls at 9 PM on a Friday or 7 AM on a holiday Monday, the AI answers professionally and captures their appointment request for your team to action.
Will patients know they are speaking to an AI and not a human receptionist?
