Booking software for chiropractors and osteopaths in Canada
A chiropractic day can be thirty patients in fifteen-minute visits, most of them on a plan that brings them back twice a week. Slotora is good at that rhythm. It is not a billing system for insurers, and we put that second on this page rather than at the bottom. The trial is 14 days.
See it in a 14-day trialBuilt for short visits that repeat
A new-patient exam takes forty-five minutes; an adjustment takes ten or fifteen. Make each its own service with its own length and price, and add a few minutes' buffer after the adjustment so the table is wiped and the notes are written before the next name comes up.
Care plans are where most of the bookings come from. Sell twelve visits over eight weeks as a pass with an end date, and each booking uses one. A patient on a twice-weekly plan books two weekly series, one for Monday and one for Thursday, up to eight visits each from your page; the front desk can book a longer run.
Patients who drift off their plan are easier to catch when their passes and next visits are on one card. You see that the pass has four visits left and nothing is booked.
The billing side is not there
If any of these is part of your office's day, Slotora alone will not carry it.
- Insurers are not billed
- No TELUS eClaims, no Pacific Blue Cross, no submissions to a workers' compensation board or an auto insurer, and no tracking of what an insurer has paid against what the patient owes.
- The payment email will not satisfy a benefits claim
- It names your practice, the visit, the date, the amount and how it was paid. It does not carry the practitioner's name and registration number. Connected to QuickBooks or Xero, Slotora attaches the invoice from that system instead, and you can put the details there.
- Patient records sit in England
- Charts, forms and notes are stored in London. As the person responsible for your patients' health information under your province's privacy law, decide whether that is acceptable first.
- No chiropractic category
- You register as Other. Nothing is hidden from you by doing so, but you will not see wording written specifically for chiropractic.
Setting up an office in an afternoon
Services
Exam, adjustment, re-exam
Three services, three lengths, three prices. Offer the new-patient exam to everyone and the adjustment to existing patients only, so nobody books an adjustment without having been assessed.
Forms
History and consent before the exam
Write your intake history and consent to treatment once; new patients sign it on their phone before they arrive, and the signed copy keeps the exact wording they agreed to.
Plans
Care plans as passes
Create a pass for each plan you sell, with its number of visits and how long it lasts. Sell it at the front desk or let patients buy it online.
Team
One diary per practitioner
Each chiropractor, osteopath or massage therapist in the office has their own hours and services, and a staff login opens on its own diary.
Also included
Reviews from real visits
Only a patient who had the appointment can leave a review, once, through their own booking email. You can reply, or unpublish one, but not edit it.
Holiday closures by province
Your province's statutory holidays are listed on the hours page; close the ones you take and patients cannot book them.
If direct billing matters to you
In Ontario, chiropractic is regulated by the College of Chiropractors of Ontario, and a benefits receipt carries your name and registration, not ours. Jane lists integrations with TELUS eClaims and Pacific Blue Cross for Canadian clinics, and with Teleplan for MSP and WorkSafeBC billing in British Columbia. For an office where the front desk submits claims all day, that is the deciding feature, and Slotora does not have it.
Slotora is the lighter tool: a booking page, plans sold as passes, intake forms and reminders by email, charged in Canadian dollars with no commission.
Chiropractic and osteopathy questions
Can a patient book their whole care plan at once?
From your page, a weekly series of up to eight visits; for a twice-weekly plan, two series. Your front desk can book up to twelve in one go.
Can I stop new patients booking an adjustment directly?
Yes. Offer the adjustment to existing patients only and keep the new-patient exam open to everyone.
Do you send text reminders to patients?
Not in Canada yet. Reminders are sent by email.
Can my patients claim from what Slotora sends them?
Not from the payment confirmation alone. If you connect QuickBooks or Xero, the invoice from there, with your registration details on it, is attached.
Is Québec supported?
No. Practices in Québec cannot open an account until our French version for Québec exists.
Try one practitioner's week
Put in your exam and adjustment, one care plan and your intake form, and book a few staff members through it as patients.
