Our verdict

Choose Cervica for chiropractic-only clinics, including multi-provider ones, that want chiropractic charting, insurance billing and personal injury case tracking from one vendor at a flat monthly price.

Choose Ambula for personal injury practices with more than chiropractic under one roof, such as pain management, orthopedics, neurology or a surgery center, and practices that want law firms to sign liens and see approved records and bills in a lawyer portal.

Pros

  • Personal injury module with liens, a per-case ledger, settlements and a reduction negotiation workflow
  • Statute of limitation watchlists and flags for stalled cases
  • Published, month-to-month pricing with unlimited providers on the Practice plans
  • Insurance claims, ERA posting and eligibility checks in the same system

Cons for personal injury practices

  • Chiropractic only; no other specialties described
  • No attorney portal described publicly; firms are handled by staff through a directory and records requests
  • No e-prescribing or surgery center features described

What Cervica is.

Cervica is electronic health record (EHR) and practice management software built for chiropractors by a practicing chiropractor, and used in his own north Georgia clinics. It covers scheduling, SOAP notes, insurance claims with a denial worklist, two-way texting and digital intake. Its PI Practice plan adds a personal injury module: case tracking through payment, lien paperwork with signature tracking, a per-case ledger, settlement and reduction records, records requests and statute of limitation watchlists.

How we review

We read each vendor's public website, pricing pages and documentation, link our sources, and mark anything we couldn't find as “not listed publicly.” We don't test competitors' products. Ambula sells a competing EMR, so ask every vendor, including us, to show the workflow in a demo.

How much does Cervica cost?

Cervica publishes month-to-month pricing: Solo Cash $249, Practice $449, Practice + AI $649 and PI Practice $749 per month, with unlimited providers on the Practice plans. The personal injury module is on PI Practice and above. Setup is $499 plus $299 per additional location. Ambula is $300 per provider per month for an independent practice, with lien management and the lawyer portal included.

Does Cervica handle personal injury cases?

Yes. Its PI Practice plan tracks personal injury cases through payment, with lien paperwork and signature tracking, a per-case ledger, settlement and reduction records, records requests and statute of limitation watchlists. We couldn't find an attorney portal in its public materials as of November 2026, so ask the vendor how law firms get records and sign liens.

What are the best Cervica alternatives?

It depends on what your clinic is. For a personal injury practice with more than chiropractic, such as pain management, orthopedics, neurology or a surgery center, Ambula keeps every specialty, the lien and a lawyer portal in one EMR. For a chiropractic-only clinic, ChiroTouch, ChiroHD and ChiroSpring are widely used, but their public materials describe less personal injury work than Cervica's.

Ambula or Cervica for a personal injury chiropractic clinic?

Cervica is a strong choice for a chiropractic-only clinic that wants reduction negotiation and statute of limitation watchlists. Ambula is the better fit when the practice also has medical providers, or when you want law firms to sign liens and see approved records and bills in a lawyer portal instead of calling the front desk.

Can I move my data from Cervica to Ambula?

If your data is structured, such as Excel or CSV exports, or scanned documents, Ambula can migrate it and works directly with your current EMR vendor. Migration is one of the services billed separately.
