State Salaries Are Boring—Let’s Make Them Explosive
Alright, buckle up. I know you’re asking, “What’s the average chiropractor salary by state?” But let’s be honest—that’s like asking how much dough a burger costs without knowing where you’re eating. Location matters. Cost of living matters. Roster of patients matters.
What if I told you that no matter where you practice—be it high-wage California or bargain-bin Alabama—you can double or quadruple your actual revenue per patient?
How? With a membership model that transforms your income from flat-liners to cash-flow rockets—think MRR, ARR, loyalty, ease, and health outcomes all cranked to eleven.
Story: Sally in Oregon vs. Jake in Georgia—Same Degree, Different Paychecks
Meet Sally Carter, practicing in Oregon—the state with one of the highest average chiropractor salaries: around $98,843/year SoFi.
And then we have Jake Miller, practicing in Georgia, where the average hovers at a lower $66,970/year SoFi.
Same degree, same number of patients, same hours. Yet Sally’s billing cushion is way fatter.
Sound fair? Kinda not.
Now imagine both plugging into a membership system via BoomCloud™. Suddenly, salary-by-state becomes irrelevant—because you’re building recurring patient relationships and revenue.
