Chiropractors

Chiropractic care uses some AI tools, but mostly to support the practitioner rather than replace them. For example, AI computer vision can help with X-ray analysis. Studies show AI can flag fractures or spinal issues on images with very high accuracy – one review found about 93% sensitivity and 91% specificity for detecting bone problems ^[1].

AI systems “boost diagnostic accuracy” in spinal imaging ^[2], so a chiropractor might use these tools to double-check what they see on an X-ray. On the office side, new software uses AI for paperwork: “digital scribes” can fill out patient charts and billing forms ^[1]. In fact, one article reports that AI-driven documentation tools “alleviate administrative overhead,” reducing a doctor’s time on notes ^[1].

Voice transcription and smart templates can cut note-taking time by up to 70% ^[1], though the chiropractor still reviews what is recorded.

Chiropractors will consider AI mainly if it saves time or improves care. For example, AI reminders, insurance checks, or charting can cut costs and errors. But adopting new tech depends on expense, evidence, and trust.

Advanced tools often need FDA approval or strong clinical validation. A review of AI in spinal care notes barriers like algorithmic bias, legal liability, and need for careful testing ^[1]. Because chiropractic treatment is very personal, doctors and patients may move cautiously.

Clinics with tight budgets might stick with familiar methods rather than pay for complex AI systems.
