Targeting Chiropractors in the US

Chiropractors are a focused, independent healthcare audience, and one of the most brand-loyal in medicine. There are more than 70,000 licensed Chiropractors in the US, primary-contact providers who diagnose and treat musculoskeletal and spine conditions without drugs or surgery, and most of them run their own practice. Our HCP Targeting is audience-based, not Contextual, so we reach the Chiropractor as a clinician and as a person, wherever they browse: news, finance, technology, sport, travel, food, lifestyle and health content alike. That is broader reach across brand-safe, premium inventory, through Programmatic and Managed Campaigns, in the US.

HCP Targeting with USA Flag & Stethoscope

Our HCP Targeting (including this Chiropractor Targeting Segment) is available in the USA only, delivered with geo-targeting to the United States.

Need to reach HCP audiences based outside the US? It’s harder, but we’ve had success targeting them through Clinical Websites and Contextual Targeting.

The Chiropractor Audience

There are more than 70,000 licensed Chiropractors in the US, with around 50,000 in active practice, and they are one of the most independent, entrepreneurial audiences in healthcare. A Chiropractor is a Doctor of Chiropractic (DC), a primary-contact provider who assesses, diagnoses and treats musculoskeletal and spine conditions, from Back and Neck Pain to Headaches, Sciatica and Joint problems, mainly through Spinal Manipulation and Adjustment, soft tissue therapy and rehabilitation, without drugs or surgery. As owner-operators, Chiropractors control their own product, supplement and equipment decisions to a degree few clinicians do, which makes them a high-value audience for Supplement, Nutraceutical, Medical Device, Wellness and Healthcare Technology advertisers.

Chiropractic also spans a range of techniques and focuses. Sports and Rehabilitation, Pediatric and Prenatal, Wellness and Functional, Pain Management, and technique systems like Diversified, Gonstead and Activator each function as their own sub-audience, with their own products, tables and buying decisions. For scale, the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) is the largest professional body representing Doctors of Chiropractic.

Chiropractors work almost entirely as small business owners. You will find them in solo and group Chiropractic practices, in integrated and Sports Medicine clinics, in Wellness and multidisciplinary centers, and increasingly running membership and subscription models. Because the Chiropractor is usually the owner, the clinician and the buyer all at once, they decide what supplements, devices, tables, software and services the practice uses, so reaching them is reaching the decision maker.

Why Advertise to Chiropractors

Chiropractors are one of the most direct and reachable buying audiences in healthcare, because the same person usually diagnoses the patient, chooses the products and signs the checks. They recommend and sell Supplements, Nutraceuticals, Orthotics, Braces and Support products directly to patients, and they buy the Adjustment Tables, Laser and Shockwave devices, Traction and Rehabilitation equipment, and Diagnostic and Imaging tools their practice runs on. Because the Chiropractor is the owner and the buyer, purchasing decisions are fast and personal, not filtered through a hospital committee or formulary.

Their influence reaches well beyond a single product. Chiropractors are a primary entry point for tens of millions of patients with Back Pain, Neck Pain and musculoskeletal complaints each year, and they steer those patients toward supplements, wellness products, orthotics and self-care brands. As trusted, high-frequency touchpoints for pain and mobility, Chiropractors shape which brands patients try and stick with.

Running a practice is a market of its own. Chiropractors earn a Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree, are licensed and board-certified, and must complete ongoing continuing education, and as small business owners they also buy Practice Management and EHR software, Billing and Marketing services, Compliance and Malpractice cover, and Financing. Chiropractic runs a busy events calendar too, led by ACA and state association conventions and technique seminars year-round. Together, that makes Chiropractors a high-value audience for Supplement, Medical Device, Practice Technology, Wellness and Medical Education advertisers, as well as the conferences and seminars working to drive attendance.

Take an “Always On” Strategy for Targeting Chiropractors

Chiropractor Targeting - Spine ConsultationChiropractors are a busy, hands-on audience, running back to back patient visits all day and handling the business side of the practice around them. You can rarely predict when one is online, whether it is between adjustments, after a full clinic day or catching up on the practice on a weekend.

That is why we recommend an Always On strategy for an audience like this: run the campaign 24/7, 365 days a year so you reach Chiropractors whenever they surface, not just in a short burst. Continuous delivery builds reach and frequency over time, so you are already in front of them by the time your message matters most.

An Always On budget goes further with an Omnichannel approach. Rather than betting on one screen, you reach Chiropractors across the whole day: on their phone between patients, through a podcast in the car, on the office desktop between visits, and on Connected TV while they unwind at home. Same audience, more moments, more chances for your message to land.
