Team sizes at chiropractic offices in Colorado
77.0% of Colorado's chiropractic offices with employees had fewer than five people in March 2023, compared with 72.5% nationally. 94.4% had fewer than ten. At that size the phone is shared, so routing (who rings, when, and what happens after hours) matters more than the number of desk phones.

| 1–4 employees | 822 | 77.0% | 72.5% |
| 5–9 employees | 186 | 17.4% | 21.0% |

| 50 or more employees | 0 | 0.0% | 0.1% |

What chiropractic offices in Colorado use the phone for
Chiropractic care usually involves a series of visits, so much of the phone traffic is booking, moving and confirming recurring appointments. A small team that is busy treating patients needs calls answered or captured without interrupting adjustments.
Calls a chiropractic office in Colorado might handle in a typical week include:
- An auto-injury patient calls with questions about paperwork.
- A new patient with back pain calls to ask about the first visit.
- An insurer calls to verify a treatment record.
What chiropractic offices text about
Text reminders for recurring visits and quick reschedule exchanges suit the repeat-visit rhythm of a chiropractic practice.
Texting from a local number in Colorado requires carrier registration (10DLC), a one-time $49 fee on Callata.

How Callata works for chiropractic offices in Colorado
Callata Office costs $99 per month for up to 5 people, and each additional user is $20 a month. That covers up to 3 local numbers, calling from a browser or your cell, transcribed voicemail, recorded calls with AI summaries, after-hours routing and E911 on each number.
Porting a number you already use in Colorado is free, and business texting is available once the carrier registration (10DLC) is approved; the registration carries a one-time $49 fee. Which specific numbers are open in a given area code depends on carrier inventory at the time you sign up.
AI agents are optional: an AI receptionist or scheduler can pick up when the team is busy or closed, take a message, send a text or email, or transfer the call. They draw on prepaid AI minutes ($0.25/minute), disclose that they are AI, and outbound AI calls require prior consent and are limited to 8am–9pm.
Practices that handle protected health information should review their own privacy obligations before recording calls, enabling AI summaries or texting appointment details, and keep clinical conversations out of text messages unless their policies allow it.
