ChiroHD expands ecosystem, acquiring SKED and Spark

ChiroHD, leading cloud-native practice management platform for DCs, on September 24 announced the acquisitions of SKED and Spark, two of the profession’s most respected patient engagement companies.

SKED, noted a ChiroHD press release, brings mobile-first scheduling and communication automation trusted by thousands of clinics, while Spark delivers AI-powered engagement flows that improve retention and consistency without staff effort. Together, these solutions strengthen ChiroHD’s vision of building a seamless ecosystem that reduces administrative stress, improves patient follow-through and unlocks new growth opportunities, keeping DCs focused on patient care.

“Chiropractors step into practice because they want to impact lives, not wrestle with paperwork, billing or endless administrative headaches,” said Gabriel Doty, CEO and co-founder of ChiroHD. “We’re eliminating business friction and giving chiropractors back the freedom to focus on what truly matters: restoring health and hope through the adjustment.”

Streamlining workflows

Under Doty’s leadership, ChiroHD pioneered intuitive practice management software and set a new standard for streamlined workflows and evidence-based chiropractic metrics. With SKED, founded by Erik Kowalke, DC, chiropractors gained the industry’s most trusted scheduling and communication platform, recognized on the Inc. 5000 list year after year. Now with Spark’s next-generation AI-powered engagement capabilities, the combined platform represents a significant leap forward for the chiropractic profession.

“This is a major step forward for chiropractic,” said Kowalke, founder of SKED. “From day one, SKED was built to help practices connect with their patients more meaningfully. By joining forces with ChiroHD and integrating Spark’s intelligent automation, we’re creating a connected ecosystem that streamlines the day-to-day and helps doctors inspire consistency and commitment in their patients.”

Solving business burdens so DCs can deliver life-changing care

Across the profession, DCs continue to voice the same challenges: insurance headaches, scheduling chaos, overwhelming documentation and the strain of running a business when their true passion is adjusting spines and serving families.

By bringing ChiroHD, SKED and Spark together in one connected system, DCs gain:

• ChiroHD: Doctor-first EHR and practice management
• SKED: Seamless scheduling, messaging and automation
• Spark: AI-powered patient engagement and retention

This integrated approach allows clinics to run their entire practice from a single platform, confident that administrative details are handled while they focus on restoring nervous system health and fueling practice growth.
