Must-Have Equipment When Starting Out as a Chiropractor

If you’re considering starting your own chiropractic practice, you’re likely both excited and overwhelmed. One area Chiro1Source can help you with? Equipping your potential new practice with the right tools and equipment so you can deliver high-quality care.

Here’s our list of must-have chiropractor equipment when first starting as a chiropractor!

1. Chiropractic Table

Ah, the chiropractic table—the cornerstone of any successful practice. From bench to adjusting and everything in between, many types of tables are on the market.

Will you have a dedicated office space? Then, a stationary table may be the way to go. Will this new venture offer mobile services? You’ll need a portable table to take to appointments. Drop tables can help elevate your practice from the start, as they offer a mechanical drop mechanism to assist with adjustments, providing a unique treatment experience.

Investing in a quality table is crucial to starting your business off on the right foot.

2. Adjustment Instruments

To help you deliver precise, low-force adjustments, you’ll want to stock up on different adjustment instruments, like:

• Anterior adjusters
• Hand-held mechanical instruments
• Block boards

These chiropractor tools can be particularly useful when treating patients who prefer a more gentle approach or treating specific conditions. Having these instruments in your toolkit can help broaden your treatment options and cater to a broader range of patients.

3. Diagnostic Tools

From blood pressure monitors, joint arthrodial protractors, and reflex hammers to patient gowns, your new office will need plenty of diagnostic clinical supplies and supporting materials. 

Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective chiropractic care, and armed with the right chiropractor equipment, you can quickly get to the root of patient problems. By establishing a baseline for each patient you treat, you’ll also have quantifiable data that can be tracked throughout treatment, helping better evaluate efficacy. 

4. Exercise and Rehabilitation Equipment

Incorporating exercise and rehabilitation equipment into your practice can help you enhance patient outcomes by increasing strength, flexibility, and overall wellness. 

Exercise bands are very versatile and come in various resistance levels, making them perfect for patients at different stages of recovery. Consider stocking a few bands of each resistance level to always have some on hand.

You may also want to consider stability balls to help patients improve core strength and balance, both of which support spinal health. And, of course, no exercise and rehabilitation equipment arsenal is complete without foam rollers to help release muscle tension after treatment!

5. Office Supplies

You’ll need to stock up on office supplies to keep your new practice clean and running smoothly. From cleaning products and disinfectants to envelopes, file folders, and HCFA forms, it’s important to ensure your office is well-stocked. By having everything you need to stay organized, you set yourself up to deliver the best possible experience to your clients from the moment they walk through the door.

Don’t forget to grab some ergonomic supplies for yourself, like this wellness mat that reduces foot, leg, back, and neck fatigue associated with long-term standing.
