The Joint Chiropractic Franchise to Hire More Doctors to Meet Growing Demand for Care

The largest chiropractic franchise in the country is rapidly expanding across the nation and adding doctors as it ushers chiropractic care into the mainstream

The Joint Chiropractic franchise is the largest chiropractic care franchise in the United States and the largest employer of chiropractors. The constant demand for chiropractic care has led to a rapid expansion across the United States and has increased the need to add new chiropractors to the growing number of doctors under The Joint umbrella.

More than 850 doctors are currently employed by clinics owned or managed by The Joint in more than 350 clinics open across the country. The growing demand for chiropractic care is highlighted in a Gallup report commissioned by Palmer College of Chiropractic showing that 33.6 million U.S. adults (14 percent of the total population) now seek chiropractic care each year. This number represents a marked increase over the 2012 National Health Interview Survey that measured chiropractic use at 20.6 million U.S. adults, or eight percent.

The “Gallup-Palmer College of Chiropractic Inaugural Report: Americans’ Perceptions of Chiropractic” also found that nearly two-thirds of adult Americans (61 percent) believe chiropractors are effective at treating neck and back pain, and over half (57 percent) said they are likely to see a chiropractor for that type of pain. In addition, more than half reported that they have visited a chiropractor, and more than one-fourth said they would choose a chiropractor first for back or neck pain.

“The Gallup report is tremendous news, both for doctors of chiropractic and the patients we serve,” says Dr. James Edwards, D.C., Chief Chiropractic & Compliance Officer of The Joint Corp. “The findings confirm that The Joint’s practice model is perfectly positioned to provide affordable chiropractic care to Americans not only for pain relief, but also for ongoing wellness and preventative care.”

While the report shows that Americans are aware of the tremendous benefits that chiropractic care is capable of, Gallup reports that nearly half of all U.S. adults don’t know whether their insurance covers chiropractic care. The Joint has taken insurance companies out of chiropractic care completely, and has transformed the industry by placing its clinics in retail settings, where chiropractors can focus on delivering quality care without insurance hassles.

Patients can choose from several membership plans, including a monthly plan that includes up to four visits at a cost often lower than the patient’s average insurance co-payment for a single visit. Patients can receive treatment at any of The Joint’s nationwide locations near their home, while traveling for work or on vacation. Appointments are not required, and all clinics have extended and weekend hours.

“My family has been involved in chiropractic care for more than 100 years, and The Joint is really the future of the industry,” says Dr. Chris Judge, owner of The Joint franchise clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona. “As a doctor, it’s very validating because I get to help more people on a day-to-day basis than a traditional chiropractor could possibly imagine. As a business owner, it’s very easy to run my clinic, as my time isn’t taken up by tedious insurance co-pay paperwork. We’re also able to work side-by-side traditional chiropractic clinics by referring our customers to them if they are in need of treatment beyond our services. Because we are affordable, accessible and transparent in our services,  our customers love us and are excited to come back. The Joint has been a dream come true for me, as a doctor and a business owner; it’s the best of both worlds.”
