Chiropractic Keyword FAQs

Why do chiropractic keywords matter?

When potential patients search for a local chiropractor online, they use specific words and phrases. With over 10 years industry experience, I know what these keywords are. 

Optimising your website with the right keywords helps search engines like Google understand your content, making it easier for your clinic to appear in search results.

But it’s not just about ranking higher. It’s about attracting the right patient.

Those actively seeking chiropractic care in your area.

How to choose the right chiropractic keywords?

Here’s a simple process to identify the best keywords for your chiropractic website.

Think like a patient.

What would someone type into Google if they needed your services? 

Phrases like ‘chiropractor near me’ or ‘back pain relief’ are common starting points. You can also swap out ‘near me’ with your suburb or city. 

Focus on local SEO

Add your location to keywords, e.g., “New York chiropractor” or “best chiropractor in LA.” This helps you attract people searching in your area.

Target specific conditions per page

Don’t just focus on general terms. Include keywords related to your specialties, like ‘sports injury chiropractic,’ ‘pregnancy chiropractor,’ or ‘sciatica treatment.’

Each of these keywords should be published on their own condition page. 

If you publish a single condition page listing all the conditions you may help with, search engines probably won’t rank you for any of these keywords. 

Rather, publish a page on pregnancy chiropractic care, a page on sports chiropractic, and a page on ‘sciatica treatment’ combined with ‘chiropractor for sciatica’ keywords.

I’ve followed this methodology for 10+ years and know it works.

Use keyword research tools

Tools like Google Keyword Planner, Ubersuggest, or Ahrefs can help you find popular search terms and assess their competition.

Final tips for using keywords effectively

Now that you have our ultimate list of chiropractic keywords, here are some tips on how to use them on your website. 

Optimise key pages

Add keywords naturally to page titles, headings, meta descriptions, and throughout your website content.

Don’t overdo it

Keyword stuffing can hurt your rankings. Aim for natural, readable content.

Create valuable content

Blog posts, FAQs, and service pages are perfect for targeting specific keywords and answering patient questions.

Examples of good chiropractic usage

Here are some practical examples of good keyword usage on chiropractic websites. 

First up, Marrickville Chiropractic Care. Here we have a chiropractic service page targeting the keyword ‘pregnancy chiropractor’.

Note the key on-page SEO elements:

  • Single use of the H1 heading tag with keyword ‘pregnancy chiropractor’
  • SEO page title and meta description published with the keyword
  • Image alt tag with pregnancy chiropractic related keyword
  • Useful, valuable content about the service and how chiropractic care may be beneficial during pregnancy

It’s a combination of correct keyword identification and good on-page content that results in this page ranking #1 for the keyword.

The second example is from Sydney Spinal Care and their sports chiropractic page.

This chiropractic service page targets the keyword ‘sports chiropractor’ and ‘sports chiropractor Sydney’. Simply swap your suburb or city name here. However, ensure you publish a unique and hand-written (human) article (no plagarism) or you risk getting a penalty, or not ranking. 

Note the key on-page SEO elements:

  • Creative use of the H1 heading tag with keyword ‘Expert Sports Chiropractor in Sydney’
  • SEO page title and meta description published with the keyword
  • Keyword published in the first line of text ‘Looking for a local sports chiropractor to stay at your best?’
  • Image alt tag with sports chiropractic related keyword
  • Useful, valuable and long form content about sports chiropractic published to the page, and written by a human.

It’s a combination of correct keyword identification and good on-page content that results in this page ranking #1 for the keyword.

By targeting the right chiropractic keywords, you’ll not only improve your search rankings but also attract more of the patients who need your expertise.
