In this report, we define and compare chiropractic software and physical therapy software so you can decide which tool is better suited to your business needs.

Chiropractic software and physical therapy software belong to the medical software category, but their focus areas differ significantly. This report will identify the similarities and differences between the two software categories to help you select the right one for your business requirements.

What is chiropractic software?

Chiropractic software is an electronic health records (EHR) system designed specifically for chiropractic care centers. It helps manage daily workflows, such as scheduling appointments, charting the patient history, and creating patients’ medical reports. These tools also include a file storage option to help track patients’ medical charts.

What is physical therapy software?

Physical therapy software is a specialized EHR solution for physical and occupational therapy practices. Physical therapy software offers electronic charting, automated scheduling, billing, and other specialty-specific functionality to help rehabilitation therapists manage their practice more efficiently.

What do they have in common?

Both chiropractic software and physical therapy software are used by licensed medical professionals to schedule appointments, create patient assessment plans, and manage patient data, among others. These software solutions also facilitate offline and online sessions with patients and provide a dashboard to oversee patient history and progress.

Which tool is right for you?

If you run a chiropractic care clinic and need software to manage patients and store medical charts and reports, then chiropractic software would be the right choice. On the other hand, if you’re a physical therapist looking to streamline the process of scheduling appointments and sharing therapy notes with patients, then physical therapy software would be a better option.

The question is: Which specific tool is right for your business? To start your search, head over to our chiropractic software and physical therapy software pages where you’ll find a sortable list of products, software reviews from verified users, and comprehensive buyers guides.
