How to choose
Six things that actually matter
Animal chiropractic is ambulatory, species-specific, and compliance-bound. Score any tool against these before you commit.
Supports field work offline
Ambulatory practice means barns and homes with no signal. Look for cached records and local visit drafts that can sync later, plus clear disclosure of which actions still require a connection.
Species-specific records
A horse record and a dog record share almost nothing. Look for equine spine maps, discipline and breed fields, and multi-species support — not a generic small-animal template.
Fast, low-typing notes
You're documenting with one hand on the patient. Look for checkbox- and tap-first SOAP composition, with optional voice-to-text when a connection is available.
Vet authorization documentation
Requirements vary by jurisdiction. Authorization requests, e-signatures, and expiration tracking can help document the process, but practitioners still need to verify the rules that apply.
Payments & bookkeeping
Optional owner payment links and accounting integrations can reduce double entry when the relevant accounts are connected.
Honest, predictable price
Flat monthly pricing with no per-patient fees, and a real free trial so you can test it in the field before paying.
How ChiroStride measures up
Core field work, in one focused tool
Offline-capable PWA
Runs in the browser on iOS, Android, and desktop with no app-store install. Use cached records, in-progress notes, and photos without signal, then sync when you reconnect. Voice transcription and signing require a connection.
Tap-first SOAP notes
The 5-step ScribeWizard composes an editable narrative from structured selections. Optional online voice transcription adds free text to the active SOAP field.
Sign-and-lock records
Notes follow a draft → finalized → signed lifecycle. Signed records are protected from routine edits, with an authorized unlock path for genuine corrections.
Vet authorization tracking
Send authorization and referral requests to veterinarians, capture e-signatures, and track expirations. Requirements vary, so verify the rules that apply to your practice.
Optional online payments
When Stripe Connect is connected, owner payment links route funds to an account in your name. ChiroStride does not hold the payment proceeds.
Built with animal chiropractors
Developed with input from practicing animal chiropractors around real ambulatory work — multi-barn days, unreliable signal, owner communication, and connected billing tools.
Evaluate the real product
Look past the checklist and inspect the workflow
A field-ready system should make it easy to inspect how the daily queue, clinical documentation, scheduling, and billing connect.
Product screens use synthetic demonstration data. Some sending, payment, and accounting features require connectivity and separately connected services.
FAQ
Common questions
What should I look for in animal chiropractic software?
Six things matter most: useful offline support with honest limits, species-specific records, low-typing documentation, veterinary-authorization tracking, optional payments and accounting integrations, and predictable pricing with a real free trial.
Does animal chiropractic software work offline at the barn?
ChiroStride is an offline-capable Progressive Web App. Cached records, in-progress notes, and photos can be used without cell signal and synced later; voice transcription and signing require a connection.
How much does ChiroStride cost?
ChiroStride is $59.99/month, or $499/year (about $41.58/month). The 30-day free trial requires no credit card, so you can test it in the field before paying.
Can I use generic veterinary software for a chiropractic practice?
You can, but it's usually a poor fit. General veterinary practice-management systems don't include spine-segment charting, chiropractic SOAP workflows, or equine-specific records, and they cost more and do more than a solo ambulatory chiropractor needs. Purpose-built animal-chiropractic software fits the actual workflow.
What makes ChiroStride a good fit for field practice?
It combines offline-capable records and tap-first SOAP composition with sign-and-lock records, vet-authorization tracking, on-demand owner summaries, and optional Stripe and QuickBooks connections. It is built with input from practicing animal chiropractors.
