Tampa Bay Buccaneers team captain, linebacker is passionate about helping others find pain relief through chiropractic care

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers team captain and linebacker Kevin Minter is the newest owner of a Super Bowl LIV championship ring. Off the field, Minter is passionate about chiropractic care as a multi-unit owner with The Joint Chiropractic.

As a franchise partner with The Joint, Minter naturally found his investment not only in his wheelhouse but also something he has always understood as important. Minter has put some wear and tear on his body, to say the least, since the young age of 10 when he started playing football, but he credits chiropractic care as being a major part of his routine and ability to perform at the top level.

Minter took to Instagram Live for a recent interview with digital outlet InsideHook to highlight his Super Bowl LIV win. Reporter Charles Thorp covered everything from quarantine training and how he recovers to his plans now that the longest season ever is finally over.

In the interview, he explains he was in Arizona for the Regional Developer conference with The Joint Chiropractic when he found out that Tom Brady would be his starting quarterback for the 2020 season.

Between Zoom meetings with his new teammates and trainer, using multiple gyms, and the great outdoors, Minter’s preparation for the 2020 season was certainly different – however, it would prove to be just as grueling.

“In professional sports, it’s common to talk about going hard, getting big, and getting strong,” said reporter Thorp. “But no one talks about the chiropractor and how much alignment actually is a key factor to perform at such a high level.”

How chiropractic care helps the NFL star on the field

To which Minter responded, “My hips, neck, and back basically get in multiple accidents every day. That’s the nature of the sport and my position. My body needs to be in alignment because it is simply safer. It’s a large part of my healthcare and ultimately why I invested in The Joint.”

As a franchisee with The Joint, Minter can deliver affordable and accessible chiropractic care to people seeking a holistic way to recover from back and neck pain. He placed his first two franchises down the street from where he grew up in Atlanta. Now, as a Regional Developer of The Joint, Kevin is responsible for expanding The Joint’s footprint in South Florida. He is currently adding to his enterprise with a new location in his area.

“There are countless benefits that can come from improving spinal and joint function,” Minter says. “The most important being a healthier, more comfortable daily life.” And he is convinced that providing his communities with the chiropractic care they need is easier than ever.

The Joint Chiropractic healthcare franchise is making quality care convenient and affordable for millions of patients seeking pain relief and ongoing wellness while eliminating the need for insurance. With more than 550 locations nationwide and over seven million patient visits annually, Kevin Minter is one of many franchise partners we cherish for making The Joint Chiropractic a key leader in the health and wellness industry.

The Joint’s unique business model

Since our founding in 1999, The Joint revolutionized the chiropractic industry by making access to chiropractic care more accessible, affordable and convenient than ever before. By doing away with the need for insurance and by focusing on fundamental chiropractic care, The Joint is able to treat more patients than traditional clinics could ever imagine. With over 600 locations open across the country, The Joint has become a mainstay of the health & wellness economy, helping people find holistic relief from neck and back pain.

The fast-growing healthcare franchise celebrates another banner year

2020 was a year for the history books – in more ways than one. In a year beset by challenges, there were also many silver linings. While much of the economy was impacted by the globally-effected COVID-19 pandemic, a new category of business emerged: essential businesses.

These businesses are allowed to continue to operate due to the services they provide being deemed essential to the American way of life. For businesses like The Joint Chiropractic healthcare franchise, this meant continuing to help thousands of people find holistic relief from back and neck pain.

Being allowed to remain open also meant that The Joint Chiropractic franchise owners were able to quickly recover from the pandemic, and as the lockdowns eased, our patients came back to us in masse, with many of our clinics experiencing record high patient counts.

“We’re experiencing a ton of momentum as we enter 2021,” says Peter D. Holt, Chief Executive Officer and President of The Joint Chiropractic. “We’ve made a strong recovery from the pandemic. Systemwide sales are up, and so are patient counts, which reveal how much our patients value chiropractic care, especially during uncertain times.”

The Joint Chiropractic franchise opens new clinics at a rapid pace

While many brands struggled with franchise development during the pandemic, interest in The Joint Chiropractic continued to surge throughout.

The Joint Chiropractic opened 70 new clinics in 2020 and sold 121 licenses for new clinics. A large portion of the growth comes from multi-unit investors, as 29 new franchise owners purchased 51 licenses, with an even larger share of the growth coming from existing franchise owners reinvesting in the brand.

“We’re tremendously proud of our strong growth in 2020,” says Eric Simon, Senior Vice President of Franchise Development with The Joint Chiropractic.

“It’s incredibly validating to see how many existing franchise owners are reinvesting in the brand by buying additional licenses; that is proof that our business model is working. As we move forward into 2021, we expect our rapid growth to continue as more and more entrepreneurs discover that you can own a business that offers both tremendous unit-level economics and the ability to help people find relief from pain.”

How a family of entrepreneurs became one of the most successful franchise owners in the The Joint Chiropractic network

Gordon and Marvin Thornton always knew that they would be in business together – they just needed the right opportunity at the right time. As brothers, they watched each other’s careers with pride from afar – and sometimes very far indeed, as Marvin was often abroad serving in the U.S. military, while Gordon became successful as an entrepreneur.

Gordon was a multi-unit franchise owner with Massage Envy when he decided to invest in The Joint Chiropractic^®. While both brands operated in the booming health & wellness segment, The Joint allowed Gordon the ability to own a business that provided an affordable, convenient, and accessible way for people to heal from back and neck pain.

“You’re helping people feel better every day,” he says. “I’ve seen what chiropractic care did for my wife – it’s helped her treat her pain issues holistically and effectively. It’s hard not to be passionate about owning a business that makes this big of an impact on people’s lives. It’s also far easier to run than other businesses I’ve owned – McDonald’s was very hard to operate and even Massage Envy was a lot harder.”

Marvin was stationed in Afghanistan when he got the call from his brother asking him to join him in his new venture with The Joint. Seven years later, when Marvin retired as a Colonel with 28 years of service, it was finally the right time for the brothers to go into business together.

“I remember reading the brochure when I was stationed overseas and I couldn’t wait to be a part of it,” Marvin says. “When I retired after 28 years in the military, it was the right time to get involved. I loved the simplicity of the business. I loved how accessible it was to customers. The Joint has truly opened up the benefits of chiropractic care to a much larger extent than ever before.”

Spreading chiropractic care across the DMV

Now, the brothers have eight clinics together in the Washington, D.C., area, and are now, along with Gordon’s wife, Mia, the Regional Developers for Maryland and Washington, D.C.

“There’s so much potential for entrepreneurs to do well in this business,” Mia says. “The unit-level economics are outstanding and there’s an incredible demand for holistic pain management. We’ve seen our clinics continue to grow and the pandemic proved just how essential we are to our patients. The Joint provides exceptional support in real estate, marketing, and more, and we’re also here to guide entrepreneurs at a local level.”

With plans to develop up to 30 clinics in the Maryland and Washington, D.C., area over the next few years, this family business is looking towards a bright future of their own making.

“It’s been such a rewarding experience, both personally and professionally,” Gordon says. “We’re creating opportunities for entrepreneurs, for chiropractors, and providing great places to work. We’re helping people feel better every time they come to see us. It’s a fun business to be a part of and it’s even better that we get to do it with family. There’s nothing better than that.”

The Joint Chiropractic influences life and career of NFL star Kevin Minter in “Lift U Up” podcast with Tamika Bickham

As an NFL linebacker for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Kevin Minter knows a great deal about aches and pains. His tenure in the NFL has led him to be passionate about chiropractic care in order to keep healthy – which made him a perfect fit to invest in The Joint Chiropractic franchise.

The Joint was founded in 1999, with a mission to improve the quality of life through affordable and convenient access to chiropractic care. And with Minter’s own passion for health & wellness as an NFL superstar, he found himself in perfect alignment with The Joint’s mission.

Minter currently owns two franchise clinics in the Atlanta, Georgia market and now, he is ready to expand into the South Florida area. To discuss his growth plans, passion for chiropractic care, and why he invested in The Joint Chiropractic clinics, Minter recently appeared on “Lift U Up,” a podcast hosted by Tamika Bickham, an award-winning TV journalist.

“We picked a territory in South Florida because we know those communities are focused on health and wellness,” Minter details the business venture. “When I started to understand the franchise system, I wished I had done it sooner. It’s a straightforward business that’s affordable to own and I was giving back to my community.”

Minter’s personal chiropractic care journey

On the podcast, Minter explains how chiropractic care has helped him personally, helping him heal from injuries and ensuring that he stays game-ready. As a franchise owner with The Joint Chiropractic, Minter now gets to spread the benefits of chiropractic care, helping people heal from the back and neck pain that is limiting their quality of life.

“Chiropractic care has been essential to my training and my wellness,” Minter reveals. Investing with The Joint was personal to him, as he recognizes it as an investment for future well-being and not only as it relates to business.

“As your body ages, it becomes more about movement and maintaining strength, whereas it used to be all about building muscle,” he admits. Jokingly, he says “NFL” should also stand for “Not For Long,” because he knows he can’t play this game forever.

Entrepreneurs with no experience in chiropractic industry excel with The Joint franchise 

You don’t need to be a chiropractor to invest in The Joint Chiropractic franchise. 

In fact, the majority of our franchise owners have never had any experience in the chiropractic field or medical industry before joining our franchise family. However, all of our franchisees share one thing in common: a passion for chiropractic care.

For more than two decades, The Joint has been at the forefront of helping Americans find relief from pain. With more than 500 locations nationwide, our fast-growing chiropractic franchise has revolutionized access to chiropractic care by offering a convenient retail setting and concierge-style services including no appointments, no insurance hassles and accommodating hours of operation. 

If you are looking to own a meaningful business that meets a tremendous need for pain management, The Joint is a best bet investment. Here are a few reasons how The Joint will help you excel without any prior experience:

The Joint is a simple, efficient franchise to own and operate 

At The Joint Chiropractic, we are passionate about helping our franchise owners excel in business. This starts with our simple-to-understand, easy-to-scale business model. Our clinics are designed for ease of operations and to keep costs low. You only need two to three employees to operate a clinic efficiently – a chiropractor and a front desk wellness coordinator. The Joint’s small footprint means lower rental possibilities even in the high-end strip centers where our clinics are placed. 

The Joint is a consumer-friendly approach to chiropractic care, and that means that we’re designed to treat as many patients as possible on a day-to-day basis. We’re open on nights and weekends, there are no appointments, we accept walk-ins, and our membership model does away with the need for insurance. The ability to treat more patients increases the profit potential of our clinics, and it also allows our doctors of chiropractic to help more people find relief from pain.

You can hire a chiropractor to help run your business

The Joint is not only one of the fastest-growing chiropractic franchises in the United States but its network is also the largest employer of chiropractors in the nation. Since you don’t have any chiropractic experience, we know you don’t have any experience hiring a chiropractor. This is where our exceptional leadership team excels as they will train and help you recruit a top chiropractor for your clinic.

Chiropractors enjoy working for The Joint because we not only offer spinal adjustments, but also offer a membership model instead of requiring insurance. As a result, chiropractors spend more time alleviating patients’ pain instead of haggling over payment with insurance companies. 

“We’ve been successful without even having to market ourselves very much — people see our clinics next to their favorite stores or restaurants, and they come in curious,” says Chris Kemper, franchisee/manager of three The Joint locations in Nashville, Tennessee. “When they discover that we’re affordable and offer a membership model, it is very easy to win them over. Our model creates a pathway for our walk-in customers to return.”

Our chiropractic franchise offers unmatched support 

Whether you have industry experience or not, all you need to have is good business acumen and The Joint will teach you the rest. After helping hundreds of entrepreneurs realize their dreams of business ownership, our chiropractic franchise has developed one of the most robust training platforms in the industry. We give you the resources and knowledge base to know how to operate every aspect of your business from marketing, to how to effectively communicate with and hire chiropractors, and much more. 

“My husband and I own eight clinics in the metropolitan Phoenix,” states Teresa Di Giuseppe, multi-unit and co-owner of The Joint franchises. “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 and helping our patients achieve the lifestyle they want to live. We didn’t have any medical experience prior to franchising with The Joint, however, our business has proven to be successful and profitable because of the simplicity of the business model.”

The Joint ranks high on the esteemed publication’s list of the fastest-growing chiropractic franchise systems in 2020

Entrepreneur Magazine recently named The Joint Chiropractic, one of the fastest-growing chiropractic franchises in the nation, as a Top Growth Franchise for 2020. 

This highly competitive list recognizes the 150 companies with the greatest franchise unit growth in the United States and Canada, based on data submitted for the respected publication’s “Franchise 500” ranking. For this year’s list, the ranking is based on each brand’s new franchise-unit growth in the U.S. and Canada from July 2016 to July 2019. Thanks to our exceptional growth, The Joint Chiropractic was ranked No. 59. 

So far in 2020, The Joint has opened 49 new clinics in the U.S. alone and sold 65 new franchise licenses. Additionally, The Joint sold two new Regional Developer Area agreements to facilitate expansion in Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. 

“The reason why so many entrepreneurs and chiropractors are investing in The Joint is because our unit economics are so strong,” says Peter Holt, President and CEO at The Joint Chiropractic. “I’ve been building and managing franchise systems for 30 years and I have never seen such strong unit economics. On top of that, pain isn’t going away. We’re looking for ways to manage our pain in a holistic way and that is what The Joint provides.”

A year of industry praise for The Joint Chiropractic franchise

In addition to being ranked sixth on Franchise Gator’s “Top 100” list of the top 100 franchises of 2020, our fast-growing chiropractic franchise was also named to Entrepreneur’s esteemed “Franchise 500” list for the fourth consecutive year. 

“We’re honored to be included on all of these respected lists,” says Holt. “Our number one priority has always been to help our franchise owners thrive in business. These rankings, as well as our continued nationwide expansion, is proof that our efforts are working. As we continue to grow, we look forward to welcoming more entrepreneurs to The Joint Chiropractic franchise in 2020.”

As the nation’s largest and fastest-growing chiropractic care franchise with more than 500 locations, The Joint is not only committed to helping franchise owners thrive in business, but also helping Americans find relief from pain through chiropractic care. For two decades, our chiropractic franchise has revolutionized access to chiropractic care by offering a convenient retail setting and concierge-style services including no appointments, no insurance hassles and accommodating hours of operation.

Fast-growing chiropractic franchise is a winning investment opportunity for entrepreneurs seeking a health & wellness business

We’re living through historic times, and our experience with COVID-19 is going to lead to significant, lasting changes in terms of our attitudes toward overall health and wellness, preventive care, and our ability to fight and treat disease at the individual level.

This increased focus on health and wellness is going to drive many entrepreneurs into the health and wellness category. Already valued at $4.9 billion globally, the health and wellness industry is on pace to become a dominant, central part of the American economy. 

One of the ways to capitalize on this fast-growing industry is to invest in a consumer-driven, preventive care franchise like The Joint Chiropractic. Founded in 1999, The Joint has revolutionized access to chiropractic care by making it more accessible, convenient and affordable than ever before. As a result, our clinics see over 7 million patients annually, bringing chiropractic to the forefront of mainstream healthcare choices.

The Joint Chiropractic’s rapid expansion

However, our growth opportunity is unparalleled. According to Georgetown University, 65 million Americans report a recent episode of back pain, and The Good Body reports that 80% of Americans will experience back pain at some point in their lives. 

Our franchise owners, many of whom had not had experience in the chiropractic industry before franchising with us, are passionate about owning a business that provides a place for people to recover from back and neck pain. 

“The Joint is really connecting with entrepreneurs and chiropractors who are seeking a proven business model that can dramatically improve lives,” says Eric Simon, Vice President of Franchise Sales & Development with The Joint Chiropractic. “We’re incredibly proud that our franchise owners continue to see more people than traditional chiropractic clinics by a large margin, and our continued nationwide growth is a reflection of both the profit potential of this business and our ability to connect with consumers in growing numbers. For entrepreneurs, The Joint is a brand that you invest in if you want to make an impact.”

The Joint is a simple, straightforward business that’s quick to scale

One of the great things about The Joint is our business model. Our clinics require a small footprint, zero inventory, and a minimal staff that consists of one front-desk person and a chiropractor daily to operate. Because we focus on one treatment, spinal alignments conducted by hand, our patients can zip in and out in between shopping on the weekends, on their way home from work, or on their lunch breaks, in less than 15 minutes.

The Joint also benefits from a gym-like membership model, which means that our franchise owners have recurring revenue that they can count on as they grow their business. And they don’t do that alone. The Joint offers a robust training and support platform that includes everything from real estate, marketing, professional development and more, to help our franchise owners as they grow.

The ease of our business model and the strength of our ongoing support is why so many of our existing franchise owners have scaled up to multi-unit ownership.

For Barrett McNabb, owner of five clinics with The Joint in Houston, Texas, the ability to help more people heal is the reason to keep reinvesting in new clinics. “I hope to keep expanding,” says McNabb. “The future is just so bright. Only 10% of the population has even experienced chiropractic care.”

Spotlighted as an industry thought leader, Peter Holt explains how The Joint Chiropractic is disrupting chiropractic care for the better

With more than 30 years of experience in the industry, no one may understand the challenges and methodology of overseeing a franchise system better than Peter Holt, President and CEO of The Joint Chiropractic, the fastest-growing chiropractic franchise in the nation.

This wasn’t lost on Dave Know, senior contributor CMO Network at Forbes magazine, who recently featured Holt in the article “How Franchising Can Transform A Fragmented Industry.” In the article, Holt explains how The Joint strengthened its franchising community, how franchising is a great opportunity for fragmented industries, and outlines the challenges and methodology of franchising.

Here’s an excerpt of the article:

Dave Knox: At The Joint, you have been part of re-energizing the brand. How did your deep background in franchising help in this effort?

Peter Holt: Franchising is not an industry. Franchising is simply a methodology, a way you can expand a business. And like so many businesses, we all have different options for expansion, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. And what has been interesting to me is there are probably over 230 different industries that utilize the methodology of franchising. In my own career, I have been involved with industries as varied as frozen desserts at Tasti D-Lite and the postal business with Mail Boxes, etc.

Now with chiropractic care, you can look at that and say, “What on earth do all of those different businesses have in common?” Concept-wise, very little, but in terms of the practice of how to build it through and manage it through a franchise system, an enormous amount.

And so that experience you have gained from each one of those different concepts can be leveraged as you go forward to that next concept. I often talk about when you are building and managing your franchise system, it’s really important to understand that you are actually running two parallel businesses that are unrelated. What I mean is that you are working on a “C” concept, in this case, chiropractic care, and then you are working with methodology and that’s franchising. And the methodology is agnostic to the concept, but understanding both of them is the best way you can really maximize the opportunity of what that concept is.

Knox: The Chiropractic industry is largely made up of solo practitioners. Why do you think the franchise model was such an opportunity?

Holt: There are so many highly fragmented industries that can really benefit from the franchise model. If you look at the chiropractic industry in this country, it’s about a $15 billion industry, and it is absolutely dominated by the 40,000 independent practitioners. We are sitting here as The Joint, we have 530 clinics open in 34 States. We have roughly about 1,400 doctors under our umbrella and we are the largest provider of chiropractic care in the country. That is possible, specifically, by utilizing that franchise model.

And I think you can do this in hair care, in ice cream shops, and all kinds of industries where there is economy to scale that you create when you can increase the size of that overall network and leverage the experience.  Franchising is the business of accelerated learning. If you are an independent concept, you are growing every year and applying those learnings to your business to be more profitable and more successful. In our franchise model, we have 530 versions of that learning taking place. Each one of those franchisees is bringing their own expertise and experience into the field and we can see best practices. We can take that and format it in a way that we can roll it out across the whole network and everybody benefits. This accelerated learning is inherent in the franchise model.
