The largest chiropractic franchise is lauded as a best-bet investment on national publication’s prestigious annual list

The Joint is ushering in a new era of mainstream credibility for the $14 billion chiropractic industry. The Joint’s chiropractic franchise is rapidly expanding across the U.S., with more than 350 clinics open across the country, and the industry has taken notice.

 2016 began with Entrepreneur naming The Joint as the “Best of the Best” franchise in the health services segment. In October, Franchise Times, a national publication dedicated to connecting entrepreneurs with franchise systems, named The Joint to their prestigious annual Top 200+ list, which serves to highlight the industry’s best-bet investments across all segments of the franchise industry.

“We’re very honored to be included on the Franchise Times Top 200+ list,” says Peter Holt, CEO of The Joint. “We have seen phenomenal growth in recent years because of our ability to target so much more of the population than a traditional chiropractic clinic could. Our customers love us because we’re affordable, convenient and fast without sacrificing the level of care they expect. Because of this, we are able to reach people who would not have otherwise gone to a chiropractic clinic. So many people are suffering from neck and back pain, and as more of the population seeks alternatives to traditional medical care and prescription drugs, they are finding that The Joint is their ally in health and wellness.”

What makes The Joint Chiropractic Franchise a best-bet investment?

The Joint is disrupting the traditional chiropractic franchise industry. As the first publicly traded membership-based chiropractic franchise, The Joint is a vastly different business model than the hard-to-find chiropractic clinics of yore. The Joint places its clinics in highly visible retail settings next to local coffee shops and supermarkets. There are no appointments, no insurance and no waiting to see a doctor. The Joint is also far more affordable than traditional chiropractic clinics; the average visit to The Joint costs nearly half as much as the insurance co-pay of a traditional chiropractic visit.

The Joint is unique in the chiropractic franchise industry because of our gym-like membership model, which provides our franchise owners with a recurring revenue stream and our members with an affordable plan to manage their health and wellness. The Joint also offers multiple-visit bundles, encourages walk-in appointments and is open on nights and weekends, giving our doctors the potential to treat far more customers than a traditional chiropractic clinic could ever imagine.

“The true success of The Joint is that we are making chiropractic care available to millions of Americans who never would have considered visiting a chiropractor before,” says Peter Holt, CEO of The Joint. “There are so many people suffering from neck and back pain as a result of our sedentary lifestyles, our diets, our workout regimens and our age. Our franchise owners become meaningful members of their communities because we’re right next door to the supermarkets, the coffee shops like Starbucks and restaurants like Chipotle. We’re accessible, affordable and we can treat our customers in a matter of minutes — sending them on their way to meet their friends or do their grocery shopping.”

A worthy business for chiropractors and savvy entrepreneurs alike

With a small footprint, limited overhead and staff consisting of three to four employees, The Joint is easy to operate and boasts a proven business model that is unique in the $3 trillion healthcare industry. Our membership model eliminates the need for insurance while providing our franchise owners with a recurring revenue stream that helps maximize profitability and potentially quicken the return on investment. Our model works for chiropractors seeking to own a business that avoids the nightmare of insurance billing, and it works equally well for business investors who see the need for more accessible chiropractic care.

“My husband and I own five clinics. We’ve experienced the corporate world — which is something that we’ve done well in — but we’ve always had that entrepreneurial spirit,” says Teresa Di Giuseppe, co-owner of five The Joint franchise locations in Scottsdale, Arizona. “We always wanted to have a business that we could call our own and would run itself as we continued our careers in the mortgage industry. We were attracted to The Joint because of the ease of the business model: low overhead, minimal staff. We’re committed to providing the best chiropractic care, but we don’t have to be in the business every day. We didn’t have any medical experience whatsoever, but The Joint has proven to be successful and profitable because of the simplicity of the business model.”

The Largest Chiropractic Franchise in the Country is Rapidly Expanding Across the Nation and Adding Doctors to Meet Growing Demand for Care

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 Growing Demand for Chiropractor Care

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.

What Sets The Joint Apart?

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 homes 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 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 with traditional chiropractic clinics by referring our customers to them if they require 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.”
