The Ugly Truth About the Average Chiropractic Ad

Let’s get real: most chiropractors are burning cash on ads that don’t work.

You’ve seen them all over Facebook and Google:

  • “$19 New Patient Exam & Adjustment!”

  • “First Visit Free!”

  • “One Adjustment and You’ll Feel AMAZING!”

Guess what those ads attract? Coupon-hunting, non-loyal patients who’ll ghost you faster than your insurance payout.

The truth? A chiropractic ad shouldn’t sell one-time discounts. It should sell loyalty. Because loyalty = recurring revenue.


The Chiropractor Who Turned Bad Ads Into Recurring Revenue

Meet Dr. Mark.

For years, Dr. Mark ran Facebook ads offering “cheap” visits. Patients would trickle in, grab their discount, and never come back. His ROI? Terrible. His stress level? Through the roof.

Then, he discovered a smarter way.

Instead of promoting one-off discounts, Dr. Mark ran chiropractic ads that led to a membership program built with BoomCloud™.

Here’s how it changed everything:

  • Instead of “$19 visit,” he ran ads for “Unlimited Chiropractic Care for $89/month.”

  • Instead of coupon-hunters, he attracted families looking for long-term care.

  • Within 12 months, his membership plan had 280 active patients.

That translated into:

  • $24,920 in Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR)

  • $299,040 in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR)

Better yet—his members spent 3.4X more per year compared to one-off patients.

Boom. Ads that used to drain his wallet now fueled predictable growth.


What Your Chiropractic Ad Should Actually Promote

Here’s the problem with most ads: they sell one-time visits.

Here’s the solution: your chiropractic ad should sell membership, not a coupon.

Because membership patients are:
✅ More loyal
✅ More profitable
✅ Easier to retain
✅ Referral-generating machines ‍‍‍

Instead of advertising a “$29 exam,” advertise your membership program.

For example:

  • “Unlimited Adjustments for $89/month”

  • “Family Chiropractic Memberships Starting at $159/month”

  • “Affordable Monthly Plans, No Insurance Hassles”

Not only do these ads position you as different—they make your business model scalable.


Old Ads vs. New Ads

Here’s the mindset shift every chiropractor needs to make:

Old-School Chiropractic Ad Playbook ❌

  • Compete on price.

  • Attract deal-hunters.

  • Rely on insurance.

  • Revenue = unpredictable.

New-School Chiropractic Ad Playbook ✅

  • Promote memberships.

  • Attract loyal patients.

  • Build recurring revenue.

  • Revenue = predictable, scalable, stress-free.

This isn’t just about ads—it’s about changing your business model to optimize revenue per patient.


Case Study: Dr. Sarah’s Membership Ad Success

Dr. Sarah in Arizona was dropping $3,500/month on Google Ads. She got patients in the door—but they never stuck.

She pivoted to BoomCloud™. Her new ad copy read:

“Affordable Monthly Chiropractic Memberships – No Insurance. No Surprises.”

Results after 9 months:

  • 260 members enrolled.

  • $23,140 in MRR.

  • $277,680 in ARR.

  • Patient retention skyrocketed from 37% → 81%.

Instead of constantly buying new leads, Dr. Sarah built loyalty on autopilot.


6 Chiropractic Ad Strategies That Actually Work in 2025

  1. Promote Value, Not Discounts
    Stop racing to the bottom. Compete on loyalty.

  2. Highlight Membership Pricing in Ads
    Monthly plans feel affordable and predictable for patients.

  3. Use Video Ads on Facebook & Instagram
    Show your energy, values, and membership perks. Patients buy you before they buy your care.

  4. Leverage Retargeting Campaigns
    Remind past website visitors and social followers about your membership plan.

  5. Track MRR + ARR, Not Just “New Leads”
    You can’t grow what you don’t measure. Stop bragging about leads—start tracking recurring revenue.

  6. Make It Stupid Simple to Join
    With BoomCloud™, patients can sign up online in 2 minutes. Remove friction, and your ads convert higher.


The Data That Backs It All Up

  • Membership patients spend 2–4X more annually than non-members.

  • Average non-member patient spend: ~$1,200/year.

  • Average membership patient spend: $2,800–$3,600/year.

  • Practices using BoomCloud™ see an average of six-figure ARR in the first 12 months.

  • Retention rates jump from 30–40% → 80%+ with membership.

The takeaway? The best chiropractic ad isn’t about discounts—it’s about predictable revenue and patient loyalty.


The Future of Chiropractic Ads

If you’re running the same chiropractic ad as every other clinic in town, you’ll keep attracting coupon-chasing patients who don’t stick.

But if you use your ads to promote a membership program, you’ll:
✅ Boost retention.
✅ Increase revenue per patient.
✅ Build predictable growth.
✅ Finally escape the hamster wheel of chasing new patients every month.

That’s the future of chiropractic ads—and it starts with BoomCloud™.
