What does Voksha do if a caller describes possible stroke or spinal cord injury symptoms?

For Chiropractors

Voksha is configured to recognize red-flag symptom descriptions, sudden severe headache, loss of coordination, numbness or weakness on one side of the body, loss of bladder or bowel control following a back injury, or other signs that fall outside routine chiropractic care and could indicate a medical emergency like stroke or cauda equina syndrome, and to direct the caller toward emergency medical services, calling 911 or going to an emergency room, rather than attempting to book a routine adjustment or provide any clinical assessment itself. This is a script and triage rule your practice defines during setup, based on the specific red flags your treating doctors want flagged, since the right threshold varies by practice and state scope-of-practice guidelines. Voksha does not diagnose or make clinical judgments; its role in this scenario is recognition and redirection, getting the caller to appropriate emergency care quickly and simultaneously alerting your practice that the call happened, so the treating doctor is aware and can follow up if the patient does end up needing chiropractic care once the emergency is addressed. This matters specifically for chiropractic offices because patients describing back or neck symptoms sometimes call a chiropractor first, assuming any back-related issue belongs there, when the actual presentation warrants immediate emergency evaluation instead. Getting this triage rule configured correctly during onboarding, with input from your treating doctors on exactly which symptom combinations should trigger the redirect, is one of the more important setup conversations for any practice, and it should be revisited periodically as your doctors refine what they want flagged.
