Can you recommend software to manage a small medical practice?

Please help me find patient or practice management software for a SMALL chiropractic office.
I'm the office manager at a very small chiropractic office. Employees: the doctor and myself. About 10-12 patients seen per day. Total patient list of a couple hundred. I need recommendations for software that will help us keep better track of our patients. It doesn't have to be specifically for chiropractors. Here's what we need:
1. Suited for a SMALL office. Most chiropractic practice management software I've seen is geared toward very large practices.
2. Inexpensive (or free). Again, most of what I've seen runs in the thousands of dollars.
3. Scheduling that links to client "chart."
4. Client "chart" that allows tracking of visits, nutritional supplements purchased, doctor's notes, contact info, insurance info.
5. Tracks income and expenses, or integrates with software that does.
6. Fairly user-friendly. I'm very comfortable with computers, but the doctor is proficient on YouTube and nothing else.
7. PC
Thanks for any help you can give!!

when I worked for a psychiatrist, we used filemaker. It was a while ago so there may be other/better options now, but it worked fine for the basics...

Sister in-law sez they use Eclipse. Definitely not free, I'm afraid. She didn't say what their cost is. I'd be very surprised to find anything meeting your needs that was free.

Response by poster: @Thorzdad I'd be surprised to find something free, too, but it never hurts to ask! :) Thanks for checking w/ your sis-in-law.
