Many chiropractic offices depend on ChiroTouch software to manage patient care efficiently. If your ChiroTouch system feels slow or unresponsive, here are some proven tips to improve ChiroTouch performance and keep your practice running smoothly.
#1 Avoid WiFi
While Wi-Fi is convenient, it can cause ChiroTouch performance and connectivity issues. The ChiroTouch software depends on a stable and uninterrupted network connection—any signal drop or even minor lag over Wi-Fi can cause the program to crash or freeze. For the best results, use wired Ethernet connections whenever possible. If Wi-Fi is your only option, install your access point or router close to your ChiroTouch workstations to reduce interference and improve connection stability.
#2 Upgrade your servers RAM
Upgrading your server’s RAM can significantly boost ChiroTouch performance and overall system responsiveness. RAM (Random Access Memory) temporarily stores active data, allowing ChiroTouch to run more efficiently. Check your server’s maximum supported RAM capacity—you may be able to add an extra memory stick or replace existing ones with higher-capacity modules. Increasing RAM helps reduce lag and keeps ChiroTouch running smoothly, especially during peak office hours.
#3 Upgrade your workstations
Evaluate the age and performance of your ChiroTouch workstations—if they’re several years old, it’s likely time for an upgrade. Modern computers are significantly faster and more efficient, even compared to systems from just a few years ago. When purchasing new workstations, prioritize models equipped with solid-state drives (SSDs), preferably M.2 NVMe SSDs, as they offer much faster data access and boot times than traditional hard drives. However, avoid installing SSDs on your ChiroTouch server, as ChiroTouch specifically recommends against it for server stability.
#4 Upgrade your workstations
ChiroTouch is a resource-intensive application, so it’s best to avoid running other software on your ChiroTouch workstations. Limiting background programs ensures that your computer’s processing power and memory are fully dedicated to ChiroTouch, improving speed, reliability, and overall system performance. Keep ChiroTouch as one of the only installed applications on these machines to maintain maximum efficiency.
Always use dedicated computers for ChiroTouch, as the software can be CPU-intensive, especially when multiple windows or patient files are open simultaneously. By reserving specific machines for ChiroTouch only, you’ll minimize slowdowns, reduce system crashes, and ensure smoother day-to-day performance for your chiropractic office.
