Coronavirus has left many businesses in rough shape in 2020. However, there are still a lot of new businesses getting started and one of the most popular are chiropractic care offices. While the world is in questionable circumstances, the fact remains that people still need care and look to the help of chiropractic professionals. If you’re a chiropractor who has recently left your former office or you are considering starting a new practice, read these tips to getting started.<\/p>\n

I’m Starting a Chiro Practice…Where Do I Start?<\/h2>\n

Getting started with any new business requires a handful of initial steps<\/a>. First and foremost, be sure your license in your location is updated and accurate. Practicing without a license is, of course, illegal. Double check with your local county that your license to practice is active.<\/p>\n

Next, it’s time to choose a name for your practice. Consider how customers will interact with your business, if you want it to be family-focused or mostly for business professionals needing care, is it named after you, after something in the community, etc. As you can tell, there is a lot that goes into naming a business (whether it’s in the chiropractic industry or not).<\/p>\n

You Need A Location<\/h3>\n

With a name and license in hand, start to scope out locations near you that you might want to use for an office. Working with a commercial real estate agent can help you find the best spot to rent for your new practice. Try to estimate how many patients you’ll plan to see in a given week and look for an accommodating space. Due to the effects of COVID-19, you may actually find rent is less expensive than you initially thought.<\/p>\n

Once you have found a spot where you’ll set up your practice, it’s time to start acquiring the appropriate equipment. You’ll need chiropractic tables, exercise equipment, stretching devices<\/a> and office equipment including computers, a phone system and furniture.<\/p>\n
