Planning a Chiropractic Office Move

Chiropractic patients come in on a rhythm, often two or three short visits a week, so a practice in Chico, Yuba City or Roseville does not want more than a day or two dark. The plan usually looks like this: last adjustments on a Friday, the tables and treatment rooms move that evening or Saturday, and the doctor is adjusting in the new suite by the next scheduled visit.

The tables set the pace. Drop-piece, flexion-distraction and hi-lo adjusting tables are heavy, top-heavy when raised, and built with moving sections that can be damaged if they swing in transit. We read each model's transport guidance before the move, lower electric and hydraulic tables fully, lock or strap the drop pieces and headpiece, and move them intact whenever the route allows.

Around the tables we move the rest of the office: roller and traction tables, therapy carts, the rehab floor with its balls, bands and wobble boards, the front desk and the waiting room. An in-house X-ray room and any spinal decompression table belong to their vendors, and we plan the day so the technician can work while the crew finishes elsewhere.

Timing that works
Friday afternoon close, tables moved after dark or on Saturday by request, and adjusting again at the new suite by the next scheduled visit.

What typically moves

  • Drop-piece and flexion-distraction adjusting tablesMoving sections locked or strapped per the maker's guidance, then padded and carried intact on a table dolly.
  • Electric hi-lo tablesLowered all the way, unplugged and cord tied to the frame before the table leaves the room.
  • Intersegmental roller and traction tablesHeavy for their size; padded, carried level and set in the room your treatment plan lists.
  • Therapy modality cartsE-stim and ultrasound units stay on their carts, cords coiled, gel and supplies boxed separately by staff.
  • Rehab floor equipment and wall racksBalls, bands, foam rollers and balance boards boxed by rack so the rehab area can be set in one pass.
  • Reception desk, waiting chairs and office computersThe front desk and its computers are set up first, so check-in works on the first morning.

Access and scheduling

Many chiropractic offices here are ground-floor suites in retail or medical strips, with doors that are wide enough for patients but tight for a table on a dolly. We measure every door, hallway turn and treatment-room opening at both suites. When a table will not clear a turn intact, we decide before moving day whether it can go through a rear door, or whether the manufacturer allows removing the headpiece or base section.

Friday evening and Saturday moves fit most practices, and we ask the landlord early which hours trucks may sit at the door. A medical office building will want elevator time booked and usually a certificate of insurance; we can send one. From June to September, loading starts in the cool of the morning so tables are not carried across a hot lot.

Protection and handling

Adjusting-table upholstery tears on door frames and truck walls, so every table is wrapped in pads and stretch-wrap before it leaves the room, with extra padding on the headpiece and the drop mechanisms. Tables ride upright on their base and strapped so the moving sections cannot shift. Power cords are tied to the frame, not left to drag.

Each table is then placed in the room shown on your plan, is leveled on the floor, and is plugged in and raised through its range once, with the doctor present, so any problem shows up before a patient lies on it. Therapy units are set on their carts but not powered on by our crew. Loose rehab items are unpacked by rack if you ask.

Who does what

Some of this job belongs to other trades. The written plan names each one.

In-house X-ray unit and processor
The X-ray vendor disconnects, moves and recalibrates it. The practice handles the registration for the new address, and the build-out contractor handles any room shielding.
Spinal decompression and computerized traction tables
The manufacturer's technician, since many are calibrated systems. Our crew can carry one after it is released.
Table repairs or re-upholstery
The table manufacturer or dealer. We report any existing wear we find before the move so it is on record.

Not part of our work

  • Hard-wiring tables, adding outlets or any electrical work at the new suite.
  • Packing patient files; the practice decides how records travel.

Around Chico, Yuba City and Sacramento

Chiropractic practices are spread through Chico strip centers along the Esplanade and East Avenue, Yuba City and Marysville suites near Hwy 99 and Hwy 20, and busy suburban offices in Roseville, Rocklin, Citrus Heights and Elk Grove. Most have one front door and a small shared lot.

Chiropractic Office Moving FAQs

Another question? Call (530) 354-8089.

Can our drop table travel without being taken apart?

In most cases, yes. We check the manufacturer's transport guidance, lower the table fully, lock or strap every drop piece and the headpiece, and move it on a table dolly. If a doorway or stair makes that impossible, we plan the separation the maker allows before moving day, not on it.

Will you test the tables at the new office?

We set and level each table, plug it in and run it through its lift and drop range once with the doctor watching. That catches a loose cord or a stuck section while the crew is still there. Any repair beyond that goes to the table manufacturer or dealer.

What if a table will not fit through the new treatment-room door?

We find out at the walkthrough by measuring the door, hallway and turn, then compare them to the table's size with the headpiece up and down. Options include a different route, a rear entrance, or a separation the manufacturer permits. If none work, the door frame is the contractor's to widen.

When should the X-ray vendor come?

Book the vendor as soon as the move date is set, since they often need lead time. They usually disconnect before our crew arrives and reinstall after the room is ready. We keep the X-ray room clear of cartons so the technician can work, and we move everything else around their visit.
