Who This Is For

This coverage is built for solo chiropractors, multi-provider spinal care clinics, and wellness centers that combine chiropractic adjustments with massage therapy, physical rehabilitation, or nutritional counseling. If your practice sees walk-in patients, stores treatment tables and modality equipment on-site, and keeps electronic patient records, this page applies to you — whether you rent a single suite or operate several locations.

Coverage Options for Chiropractor

Travelers is a strong market for chiropractors. BOP with professional liability is available for most practices with clean loss history and under $2M in annual revenue.

Business Owners Policy

Bundles general liability and commercial property into a single, typically lower-cost policy that covers most day-to-day risks for the practice.

Professional Liability

Covers claims of negligence, errors, or omissions connected to the clinical services or advice you provide to patients.

General Liability

Protects against third-party claims of bodily injury or property damage — for example, a patient or visitor hurt in your office or waiting room.

Workers Compensation

Covers medical costs and lost wages for employees injured on the job, and is required in California for nearly every business with employees.

Cyber

Covers costs from a data breach, ransomware attack, or other cyber incident affecting patient records, scheduling systems, or payment data.

Commercial Property

Covers your office, equipment, and business personal property against fire, theft, water damage, and other covered perils.

Business Income

Replaces lost revenue and covers continuing expenses if a covered property loss forces you to temporarily close.

Equipment Breakdown

Covers the mechanical or electrical failure of diagnostic, treatment, or imaging equipment — often excluded from standard property coverage.
