🦴 AI Receptionist for Chiropractic & Physiotherapy

Every Patient in Pain Gets an Immediate Response

Ava triages acute injuries, books new patients, answers insurance questions, and manages recall campaigns — 24/7, PIPEDA-compliant.

Sound Familiar?

Every chiro and physio clinic deals with these problems. Most just accept them. There's a better way.

❄️

Winter Injury Surge

Every January and February, calls spike with patients who slipped on ice, threw their back shovelling, or strained something skiing. Your front desk can't keep up with the volume.

💬

Insurance Questions Consume Time

'Is physiotherapy covered under my Blue Cross?' 'Do I need a doctor's referral?' These questions take 5+ minutes each and pull staff away from patients in the clinic.

📵

New Patient Calls Missed

A new patient in pain calls your clinic. You're with a patient. They get voicemail, hang up, and call the next physio in their neighbourhood — before you even know they called.

🔄

Recall Patients Lapse

Patients who completed a treatment plan and should return for maintenance care fall off. Without proactive reminders, they don't come back until they're in acute pain again.

How Ava Helps Your Clinic

Purpose-built for chiropractic and physiotherapy clinics across Canada.

📞

24/7 Call Answering

Every call answered instantly — when your practitioners are with patients, during lunch, and on weekends when people feel the effects of their weekend sports.

🆕

New Patient Intake

Capture chief complaint, mechanism of injury, affected area, urgency, and insurance details on the first call — so your practitioner walks into every new assessment fully prepared.

📅

Appointment Scheduling

Book initial assessments, treatment sessions, and follow-ups — with real-time calendar sync across all practitioners and instant SMS confirmation.

🛡️

Insurance & Extended Benefits Q&A

Answer common insurance questions — Sun Life, Manulife, Blue Cross, Green Shield — including coverage for chiropractic and physiotherapy under extended health benefits.

🔔

Recall & Maintenance Reminders

Proactive outreach to patients due for maintenance visits, seasonal tune-ups, or post-discharge check-ins — bringing lapsed patients back before they need emergency care.

🏃

Injury Triage Protocol

For acute injuries, Ava captures urgency and determines if same-day or next-day priority booking is appropriate — routing severe cases to your on-call practitioner.

📱

AVA Hub — Walk-In Kiosk

Set up a tablet at reception for patient self-check-in. AVA Hub notifies your chiropractor by SMS when their next patient arrives and manages the waitlist in real time.

● Live Call

Caller

Hi, I slipped on ice this morning and my lower back is killing me. Do you have any openings today?
🤖
I'm sorry to hear that — ice falls can really do a number on your back. I want to make sure we get you in quickly. Are you experiencing any numbness or tingling down your legs, or is it primarily local back pain?

Caller

Just local pain, no tingling. It's really stiff and sore though.
🤖
Good — that's helpful to know. I have a same-day opening at 2:30 PM today, or first thing tomorrow at 8:30 AM. Given your discomfort, I'd recommend the 2:30 if your schedule allows?

Caller

2:30 works. Do I need a referral from my doctor?
🤖
No referral needed — you can book directly. If you have extended health benefits, we direct-bill most major providers. Can I get your name and health benefit provider?

Caller

Kyle Adebayo, I have Sun Life through my employer.
🤖
Perfect — we direct-bill Sun Life. You're booked for 2:30 PM today, Kyle. I've sent a confirmation text. Please arrive 10 minutes early to complete your intake form. See you this afternoon — feel better!

Real Scenarios, Real Results

How AVADesk handles the seasonal and daily realities of Canadian rehab clinics.

❄️

Winter Slip-and-Fall Surge

It's February in Calgary. A freezing rain event hits overnight and your clinic gets 25 calls the next morning from patients with back pain and neck strain. Ava triages every call simultaneously — identifies urgent cases, books same-day appointments for acute injuries, and schedules the rest into the coming week.

🛡️

Insurance Benefit Q&A

Every fall, patients' extended health benefit limits reset and they call to ask about coverage and direct billing. Ava handles all these inquiries — answers coverage questions, confirms your direct billing providers, and books appointments. Your front desk doesn't spend half their day on insurance calls.

🔔

Discharge Recall Campaign

100 patients completed treatment plans in the past year. Ava sends proactive SMS reminders for maintenance visits — answers questions about whether they "need" to come back, and books those who are ready. Your schedule fills with high-quality recurring patients.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

Is AVADesk compliant with PIPEDA for handling patient health information?
Yes. AVADesk is designed with PIPEDA compliance as a foundation. Patient health information is handled securely and processed on Canadian or GDPR-equivalent infrastructure, with no PHI stored without consent.
Can Ava answer questions about direct billing for extended health benefits?
Yes. You configure your list of direct-billing providers (Sun Life, Manulife, Blue Cross, Green Shield, etc.) in the dashboard. Ava answers coverage questions accurately and confirms direct-billing status for each call.
Can Ava handle calls in French for clinics in Quebec?
Absolutely. Ava is fully bilingual in English and French — essential for chiropractic and physiotherapy clinics in Quebec, New Brunswick, and bilingual communities across Canada.
Does Ava integrate with clinic management software like Jane App or Cliniko?
AVADesk integrates with Google Calendar and Calendly natively. For Jane App, Cliniko, and other clinic management systems, use our webhook API to push appointment and intake data automatically.
Can Ava identify when a caller needs urgent or emergency care?
Yes. Ava screens for red-flag symptoms — bilateral leg weakness, loss of bladder/bowel control, severe headache after trauma — and directs patients to emergency care when warranted. For urgent but non-emergency situations, she prioritizes same-day booking.
We run a chiropractic group with multiple clinics. Can AVADesk handle that?
Professional supports up to 20 phone numbers on a single account — great for businesses with multiple lines. For true multi-location management with separate configurations per clinic and centralized analytics, AVA HQ (Enterprise) gives you a unified dashboard to manage every location from one login.
