Most chiropractors struggle with the same challenge: getting a steady flow of new patients.

You don’t need a massive budget or complicated strategies to grow your practice. Here are seven proven ways to attract more chiropractic patients—without wasting time or money.

1. Optimize Your Google My Business Listing

When someone in your area searches for a chiropractor, does your clinic show up? If not, you’re missing out on easy traffic.

Fix:

  • Ensure your Google My Business (GMB) profile is complete and accurate.

  • Add high-quality photos of your clinic and team.

  • Get patients to leave 5-star reviews—they help rank your clinic higher.

Bonus tip: Post weekly updates or promotions to keep your profile active.

2. Use Facebook & Instagram Ads (The Right Way)

Many chiropractors waste money on Facebook ads because they target the wrong people. The secret? Target people already dealing with pain.

Fix:

  • Run ads targeting people in your area with interests in back pain, sciatica, and wellness.

  • Use patient testimonials and videos to build trust.

  • Offer a limited-time consultation discount to encourage bookings.

Retarget website visitors and ad viewers to stay top-of-mind.

3. Focus on Patient Testimonials & Reviews

People trust other people’s experiences more than what you say about yourself.

Fix:

  • Ask happy patients for video testimonials.

  • Share before-and-after success stories on social media.

  • Feature reviews prominently on your website.

More good reviews = more patients choosing you over competitors.

4. Stop Talking About Yourself—Talk About the Patient’s Pain

Most chiropractors make their marketing about themselves instead of their patients.

Fix: Instead of saying:

❌ “We offer spinal adjustments and decompression therapy.”

✅ “Still struggling with back pain? We help you get relief—fast.”

Make your website, ads, and social media about how you solve the patient’s problem.

5. Start an Email & SMS Follow-Up System

Most patients don’t book an appointment the first time they see your ad or website.

Fix:

  • Collect leads through a simple website form.

  • Send an automated text and email follow-up.

  • Offer a special incentive (like a free consultation or discount) to encourage booking.

More follow-ups = more booked appointments.

6. Build a Strong Social Media Presence

Patients want to see that you’re active, trusted, and engaged. A dead social media page makes your clinic look untrustworthy.

Fix:

  • Post 3-4 times a week with patient success stories, tips, and behind-the-scenes content.

  • Use short videos (Reels & TikToks) to educate and engage potential patients.

  • Go live once a month to answer common questions and build trust.

7. Offer a New Patient Special

People love low-risk offers. Give them a reason to book with you instead of someone else.

Fix:

  • Offer a first-visit discount (Example: $49 for a consultation + adjustment).

  • Bundle services to make the deal more valuable.

  • Promote it on your website, social media, and ads.
