• A new patient with back pain calls to ask about the first visit.
• A regular patient calls to move a standing appointment.
• The office calls patients who missed a scheduled visit.

What chiropractic offices text about

Text reminders for recurring visits and quick reschedule exchanges suit the repeat-visit rhythm of a chiropractic practice.
