The fastest-growing chiropractic franchise announces new Regional Developers to spearhead growth in the Volunteer State

The Joint, the nation’s fastest-growing chiropractic franchise, recently announced aggressive expansion plans for Tennessee. With plans to open multiple locations across the state in the coming years, The Joint is excited to announce veteran franchisees Chad Eades and Paul Trindle as the new Regional Developers for Tennessee.

Trindle and Eades are multi-unit franchisees with The Joint, and their longtime friends are the ideal ambassadors to onboard new entrepreneurs. Their success in managing multiple clinics, despite not having prior experience in the chiropractic industry, is a testament to the ease and simplicity of the brand’s business model. Their intimate knowledge of how to run and grow profitable clinics will be a vital resource for new franchisees in Tennessee.

“We’re extremely excited to help entrepreneurs in Tennessee find success with The Joint,” Trindle says. “The opportunity is simply enormous. Last month, our combined region of North Carolina and Tennessee performed over 34,000 adjustments, which just shows you how many people are in need of affordable and accessible chiropractic care. We only have seven clinics open in Tennessee, and the level of interest we’re experiencing now from entrepreneurs is a clear indicator that we’ve barely scratched the surface in the market.”

Founded in 1999, The Joint is leading the way in making chiropractic care an essential and affordable part of health and wellness for millions of people seeking relief from back, neck and joint pain. Rapid expansion is proof that The Joint is meeting an enormous need in communities across the country. In the past few years, The Joint has grown consistently and now has more than 400 locations open or in development across the United States.

The new Regional Developers recently took a road trip across Tennessee to survey the landscape and explore the markets where The Joint can expand its existing footprint, as well as establish a presence.

“We put 1,500 miles on the car in a week and a half,” Eades says. “There are so many opportunities to capitalize on the growing demand for chiropractic across the entire state. It’s hard to believe that we do not have clinics open in Knoxville, Chattanooga and Bristol. In Nashville, where we have four clinics open, and Memphis, where we have three, there is still ample opportunity for existing franchisees to expand their footprint. We’re excited to help new and existing franchisees make a real difference in people’s lives, while also improving the quality of their own lives by opening new franchise clinics for The Joint.

The fastest-growing chiropractic franchise is providing an opportunity for chiropractors who want an easier business model

It’s time for the residents of Napa Valley, California to crack open the bubbly in wine country. The Joint, the fastest-growing chiropractic franchise in the nation, recently announced plans to open a new clinic in the market.

The North Bay Business Journal broke the news of the new clinic opening in Napa Valley in an article titled, “ Chiropractic clinic chain The Joint eyes Napa, Santa Rosa for franchise growth.” The esteemed local business publication reports correctly that while The Joint has 74 clinics in California, more than half are in Southern California. This means that the larger San Francisco metropolitan area and Northern California are prime markets for savvy entrepreneurs and chiropractors who desire an easier business model on which to capitalize.

Since 1999, The Joint has grown to 400 locations open across the United States. This rapid development is the direct result of our transformative approach to chiropractic care, which places our clinics next to supermarkets, restaurants and coffee shops. Our membership model does away with the need for insurance, which makes our services more accessible and affordable to the millions of people who need chiropractic care to alleviate back and neck pain. The number of people who do need chiropractic care continues to grow at a rapid clip, with The North Bay Business Journal reporting that 37 million people seek chiropractic care annually, and of that number, The Joint treats more than four million people each year.

“Right now, we have the largest umbrella of chiropractic clinics in the world, but we’re only just getting started,” says Peter Holt, CEO of The Joint. “There’s been a shift toward convenience in the healthcare industry and that’s something we’ve stood for since day one.”

The article highlights the success of Bradley N. Moody, a franchisee with The Joint who operates a clinic in Vacaville, a growing community close to the Napa Valley region. Moody operated a traditional clinic for over 25 years and chose The Joint because, like so many of our franchisees, he desired a business model that was easier to run than a traditional clinic.

“Not having to deal with insurance was the main thing. It was a big headache,” Moody says in the article. “The reduction in overhead is tremendous. Dealing with insurance is very expensive. Now, I pass the savings on to my patients.”

The Joint treats far more patients than a traditional chiropractic clinic could even conceive of helping. The North Bay Business Journal reports that Moody treats a lot more patients per day than he ever did in his traditional clinic:

“Whereas he saw about 40 per day in private practice, at The Joint, with another part-time chiropractor, he sees 60 to 70 per day,” The North Bay Business Journal reports in the article. “Routine treatments last between five and 10 minutes.”

Moody’s success in seeing more patients is the norm across the entirety of our franchise network. Our most recent Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) reveals just how much more successful The Joint is at bringing new customers into the fold of chiropractic care. Our average weekly visit count grew close to 260 in 2016, and new customer visits were up in double digits. The Joint reported weekly patient visits were 152 percent higher than individually-owned clinics.

The fastest-growing chiropractic franchise is awarded high ranking on prestigious annual list

The Joint enters the New Year with our highest-ever ranking on Entrepreneur magazine’s prestigious annual Franchise 500 list. Coming in at No. 109, our high rank is a testament to our revolutionary business model that is transforming the way chiropractic franchises and care are delivered in the U.S.

Widely regarded as the preeminent list of the best franchise systems in which to invest, Entrepreneur analyzed more than 1,000 franchise systems to determine this year’s Franchise 500. Franchise systems are measured on myriad factors ranging from brand equity, franchisee support, growth potential and more to determine where they chart on the list. On all of these metrics, The Joint makes a strong case for savvy entrepreneurs who desire to pursue business ownership that directly impacts people’s lives, as well as for chiropractors who desire an easier and more profitable business model than a traditional clinic.

“We couldn’t be more honored to be ranked so high on this year’s Franchise 500 list,” says Eric Simon, Vice President of Franchise Sales & Development with The Joint. “This is a transformative business in two ways: The Joint has completely disrupted the way chiropractic care is delivered by making it more affordable and more convenient for consumers, and The Joint is a business model with high-profit potential while providing entrepreneurs with a chance to provide a meaningful service in their community. This is why The Joint is the fastest-growing chiropractic franchise in the nation, and why we’re going to continue to grow well into the future.”

Why The Joint’s chiropractic franchise is a best-bet investment in 2018

Founded in 1999, The Joint is leading the way in making chiropractic care an essential and affordable part of health and wellness for the millions of people seeking relief from back, neck and joint pain. By placing our clinics in retail settings, next to busy supermarkets, coffee shops and family restaurants, The Joint continually seeks to change the way chiropractic is delivered: No appointments, no insurance, no hassle.

The Joint is easy to operate and boasts a proven business model that is uncommon 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 hasten their return on investment. As a result, The Joint treats far more patients than a traditional chiropractic clinic could even conceive of helping. Our most recent Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) reveals just how much more successful The Joint is at bringing new customers into the fold of chiropractic care. Our average weekly visit count grew close to 260 in 2016, and new customer visits were up in double digits. The Joint reported weekly patient visits were 152 percent higher than individually-owned clinics.

This ability to help more people with their ongoing neck and back pain issues translates into a more profitable business model than traditional clinics. Our most recent FDD reports double-digit growth in annual gross sales across our entire franchise network. The 253 franchise clinics open in 2016 experienced a nearly 28 percent growth in average gross sales from 2015, bringing this year’s number to $320,765. In comparison to average gross sales reported by independently operated, traditional clinics, The Joint reported average gross sales totaling nearly $60,000 more.

The fastest-growing chiropractic franchise takes steps to foster further growth in the Sunshine State

The Joint Chiropractic is proud to announce that multi-unit franchisee Shane Weber and his team are the new area developers in Florida. Shane owns and manages four clinics in Atlanta, Georgia. The success of his businesses, combined with his passion for chiropractic care, make him ideally suited to grow The Joint in the Sunshine State.

“I’m tremendously excited to help expand The Joint in the untapped Florida market,” Shane says. “Florida has so much potential for entrepreneurs to thrive with The Joint. It’s completely underdeveloped, and based on demographics alone, Florida should be one of the most developed territories for The Joint.”

The Florida Legislature is working on changing the way traditional chiropractic care is regulated. As a result, the wild profitability that traditional chiropractic clinics have seen historically is in question. This also means that there will be many chiropractors looking to franchise with The Joint soon, so now is a great time to capitalize on the opportunity while the prime territories are still available.

The Joint Chiropractic is bringing the chiropractic industry to the mainstream

Shane knows the benefits of chiropractic care firsthand. After launching his first business at the age of 22, Shane became a public speaker, helping to build leadership and sales skills for corporate teams across the country. The constant traveling caused severe back pains that didn’t resolve until Shane saw a chiropractor. After this breakthrough, he knew he wanted to get off the road and build a business for himself. He started researching franchise opportunities.

When I discovered The Joint and looked at the simplicity of the business model, I knew that I had to invest in this business” said Shane. Chiropractic care has been so beneficial to m,e personally, and the fact that I have four clinics open in Atlanta proves that there is a tremendous need. The Joint allows people to get treated quickly and affordably, and as an owner, you not only get the financial rewards, but you’re helping people in your community.”

The Joint Chiropractic clinics are placed strategically next to community mainstays such as supermarkets, coffee shops, restaurants and hair salons. With no appointments, no insurance and no hassle, The Joint has grown to more than 350 locations across the United States. In the process, we have brought a misunderstood practice to where it has always belonged: an essential part of health and wellness.

With exceptional support, initial and ongoing training, marketing support and an industry-leading ability to find premier locations in the markets we serve, The Joint provides entrepreneurs with the tools and resources they need.

“It is my calling to help entrepreneurs succeed,” Shane says. “This is a conviction that I share with The Joint’s executive team. They have built a business model that is simple to run and simple to scale, and they continually look for a way to help franchisees increase their level of profitability. If you’re a driven entrepreneur with the desire to succeed The Joint is the right business for you.”

The Joint Chiropractic is a low-cost investment opportunity with high potential returns

With a small footprint, limited overhead and a staff consisting of three to four employees, The Joint is easy to operate and boasts a proven business model that is uncommon 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 to maximize profitability and potentially hasten their return on investment. Our model works for chiropractors seeking to own a simpler business that avoids the nightmare of insurance billing, and it works incredibly well for business investors who see the need for more accessible chiropractic care.

The Joint was named to Entrepreneur magazine’s prestigious annual Franchise 500 list of the top franchise systems to invest in for 2017. It’s easy to see why, as Entrepreneur notes, The Joint grew by a phenomenal 40 franchise locations from 2015 to 2016, continuing a growth spurt that hasn’t slowed since The Joint began franchising in 2006.

With the total financial estimate to begin operations on a new chiropractic franchise ranging from $211,400 to $339,500, The Joint is a low-cost investment opportunity with the potential for high returns. The franchise fee for your first chiropractic franchise is $39,900.

Rest easy, America. Access to affordable chiropractic care is right around the corner

The Joint Chiropractic, the fastest-growing chiropractic franchise in the United States, is unveiling a nationwide franchise growth plan that positions the brand for expansion in all corners of the country – a strategy that will bring chiropractic care and relief to the millions seeking help for back, neck and joint pain.

Disrupting the health and wellness industry with its “no appointment, no insurance and no hassle” business model, The Joint plans to enter key communities throughout the nation, targeting cities throughout the United States such as Louisville, Kentucky and Kansas City (both Missouri and Kansas), and increase their clinic footprint throughout the greater Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay areas. The expansion plan meets Americans’ demand for routine, affordable chiropractic care provided by high-quality, licensed professionals.

“Right now, we have the largest umbrella of chiropractic clinics in the world, but we’re only just getting started,” said Peter Holt, CEO of The Joint. “There’s been a shift toward convenience in the healthcare industry and that’s something we’ve stood for since day one. For consumers looking for speedier appointments and routine adjustments, The Joint continues to be the only accessible option, which is why we’re bringing our clinics into more neighborhoods coast-to-coast.”

As the nation’s largest network of no-insurance clinics, The Joint is reinventing the chiropractic care sector by making quality healthcare affordable for patients seeking pain relief and ongoing wellness. By welcoming walk-ins and strategically placing locations near high-traffic shopping centers, grocery stores and retail areas, consumers have easier access to the clinics and can seamlessly visit a licensed chiropractor without disrupting their daily lives.

The Joint’s Unique Membership Model

Additionally, The Joint’s unique membership model allows patients to customize ongoing treatment plans or take part in preventative care every week. Plus, chiropractors across the company’s network have secure access to patient files, meaning members can use their membership at any The Joint clinic. Through pain management and ongoing treatment plans, The Joint and its doctors operate with a noble purpose to change the way people live their lives.

From its inception in 1999, The Joint has expanded steadily with a tremendous growth spurt occurring after the brand began franchising in 2006. The chiropractic care franchise now has more than 380 clinics open or in development across the United States. Adding to the appeal of the concept, franchise and corporate locations are earning double-digit percentage annual revenue growth, with a 17 percent increase from 2015- 2016 and similar projections for 2016-2017.

As The Joint continues to expand, the brand is awarding franchise opportunities to qualified individuals who share the company’s passion for health and wellness. Ideal franchisees include chiropractors looking to launch a business or supplement their independent practice, multi-concept franchise owners and investors interested in pursuing semi-absentee business ownership.

With no cost of goods, a limited number of employees per location and the ability to operate in small spaces (often less than 1,000 square feet), the business model provides strong unit economics with recurring revenues and scalability that attracts entrepreneurs from all professional backgrounds, regardless of chiropractic experience.

In addition, the brand’s membership model helps franchisees maximize profits while simplifying the hassles that come with insurance billing and other limitations in traditional chiropractic care settings. The Joint’s investment opportunity, made up of extensive site selection procedures, training programs and marketing support starts at $211,400, which includes the initial franchise fee.

About The Joint Chiropractic

Based in Scottsdale, Arizona, The Joint is an emerging growth company that is reinventing chiropractic care by making quality care convenient and affordable for patients seeking pain relief and ongoing wellness. Its no-appointment policy and convenient hours and locations make care more accessible, and affordable membership plans and packages eliminate the need for insurance.

With nearly 400 clinics nationwide and more than four million patient visits annually, The Joint is a leader in the chiropractic profession. For more information, visit www.thejoint.com.

The fastest-growing chiropractic franchise is revolutionizing the industry by making chiropractic care accessible and consumer-friendly

Before The Joint franchise existed, people had to take time from family or work to spend time driving around office complexes looking for the small sign that would point them to their doctor.

When it entered the market in 1999, The Joint changed everything. By placing our clinics in retail settings, next to busy supermarkets, coffee shops and family restaurants, The Joint continually seeks to change the way chiropractic is delivered: no appointments, no insurance, no hassle. Our gym-like membership model did away with the need for insurance, which not only frees our doctors up to concentrate on helping people but also completely reduces the costs of care for our customers. This not only makes our services both affordable and accessible for true customer convenience.

Our efforts pay off. The Joint has quickly become the fastest-growing chiropractic franchise in the nation, with over 350 clinics open, and more in development. Our most recent Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) reveals just how much more successful The Joint is at bringing new customers into the fold of chiropractic care. Our average weekly visit count grew close to 260 in 2016, and new customer visits were up in double digits. The Joint reported weekly patient visits were 152% higher than individually owned clinics.

The secret to our success isn’t a secret: The Joint is affordable, accessible, quick and enjoyable for customers:

The growing demand for affordable, accessible chiropractic care

“I’ve been a patient at The Joint for years now, and know that my own life/health have been made better by the weekly visits I can afford, with no insurance involved,” writes Tom Kaiser in an article published by Franchise Times, entitled, “Diving Deeper in Medical Franchising.” “If I was receiving such frequent chiropractic care in the traditional system, I would be spending drastically more money—so much so that I wouldn’t do it. That would have immediate, negative consequences on my everyday happiness and well-being.”

There are millions of people like Tom who need more affordable, accessible chiropractic care. The Good Body reports that “lower back pain is on the rise,” with 8 out of 10 Americans expected to experience lower back pain in their lifetimes. The Global Burden of Disease found that lower back pain is the second-most common reason for pain in adults (lower back pain didn’t even make the list in 1990), and the continued growth of The Joint is a sign that Americans are waking up to its benefits. NPR reports that spinal adjustments can “relax the muscles, joints, and tendons so people can be relieved of their low back pain sooner, rather than later.”

For Franchise owners, the benefits of a business model that caters to consumers are obvious. Our most recent FDD reports double-digit growth in annual gross sales across our entire franchise network. The 253 franchise clinics open in 2016 experienced a nearly 28% growth in average gross sales from 2015, bringing this year’s number to $320,765. In comparison to average gross sales reported by independently operated, traditional clinics, The Joint reported average gross sales totaling nearly $60,000 more.

“I love being in the wellness space,” says Jeff McGinty, a multi-unit franchisee with The Joint in Atlanta, Georgia. “I love waking up and wondering how many lives we’re going to change today. It’s not a question of if we’re going to change lives – it’s a question of how many.”

The Joint is a low-cost investment opportunity with high potential returns

The Joint was named to Entrepreneur magazine’s prestigious annual Franchise 500 list of the top franchise systems to invest in for 2017. It’s easy to see why, as Entrepreneur notes that The Joint grew by a phenomenal 40 franchise locations from 2015 to 2016, continuing a growth spurt that hasn’t slowed since The Joint began franchising in 2006.

With the total financial estimate to begin operations on a new chiropractic franchise ranging from $216,200 to $331,700, The Joint is a low-cost investment opportunity with the potential for high returns. Because our build-out costs are substantially lower than other brands in the healthcare segment, The Joint offers a quicker ramp-up time to allow for a potentially faster return on investment. The franchise fee for your first chiropractic franchise is $39,900.

How a struggling chiropractor found success as a franchise owner with The Joint

The Joint Chiropractic recently made the cover of Chiropractic Economics, a magazine devoted to reporting on all aspects of the chiropractic industry. The accompanying feature article, “From Struggle to Success,” tells the story of Dr. Barrett Terry, a chiropractor in Houston, Texas, who changed his life for the better when he decided to open a chiropractic franchise with The Joint.

The article documents how Barrett struggled with being the primary chiropractic doctor at an independent clinic and his dealings with dishonest bosses and lack of upward mobility, even as he grew the business significantly. Everything changed when he took a job as a chiropractor at a franchise clinic with The Joint in his local area.

The convenience of offering chiropractic care in retail settings wasn’t something that Barrett was accustomed to, but shortly after taking the position, he soon had to hire new doctors.

“It got to be where he was seeing 60 to 70 patients a day,” the article states. “He had to hire another doctor, and then another: ‘We were putting out ads, and I wanted to help the owner recruit new doctors. I had my reservations at first, about The Joint, but it turned out be one of my biggest blessings.’”

When Barrett first came to The Joint, he was hesitant because he wondered at first if The Joint was devaluing chiropractic care.

Dr. Barrett Terry opens up about The Joint franchise journey with Chiropractic Economics Mag

“But the more I worked for them, the more I saw that it’s expanding the market for chiropractic,” Barrett says in the article. “When I got out of school, 6 to 8 percent of people were seeing a DC, but now it seems like it’s almost double that number, and I think The Joint has played a role in that.”

When the owner offered him the chance to buy the business, Barrett welcomed the opportunity. He opened the clinic and is now pursuing the possibility of opening a second location with his wife.

“Looking ahead, if business continues to strengthen and their marketing efforts pay off, the Terrys are already pondering expanding to another clinic,” the magazine reports.

The Joint, the nation’s fastest-growing chiropractic franchise, recently announced aggressive expansion plans for Minnesota, with plans to open dozens of new clinics in the North Star State over the coming years. In order to facilitate the expansion efforts, The Joint is pleased to announce that multi-unit franchisee Ryan Christopherson will serve as regional developer for the state of Minnesota.

If the name Ryan Christopherson sounds familiar, that’s because he has been a career firefighter for the City of Saint Paul for more than 20 years, helping countless community members in their time of need. But all those years of dangerous and back-breaking work took their toll. As a result, Christopherson went looking for relief. “The wear and tear throughout the years has caused a few lower back injuries, and I credit chiropractic care as a leading factor in recovery from them,” he said.

The Joint’s Unique Franchise Model

Eventually, Christopherson was presented with the opportunity to become a franchisee, and later, a regional developer, and he knew it was a perfect fit. “The Joint model addresses all the pain points that I had experienced with traditional offices, odd hours, no weekends, scheduling appointments,” he said. “I love the wellness aspect of The Joint, and also the convenience factor for people on the go. As a public servant, I enjoy helping people and I also get to do that as a franchisee.”

Christopherson is bringing The Joint to the Twin Cities area of Minneapolis and St. Paul, and has opened three clinics, with a fourth in development. Now, the pair wants to share their expertise as proven franchise owners with The Joint to help other entrepreneurs in Minnesota find success with the fastest-growing chiropractic franchise in the nation.

“Before I franchised with The Joint, I worked as a vendor, serving dozens of franchise systems, which gave me a unique perspective to determine if The Joint was a worthy brand to invest in,” Christopherson says. “The Joint has exceeded our expectations. We’ve rapidly scaled up to multi-unit locations without having any experience in the chiropractic industry. We know firsthand that the demand for chiropractic care in Minnesota is overwhelming, and we’re excited to help new entrepreneurs build a future of their own making in a business that is easy to run and also makes a tremendous difference in the communities we serve.”

What makes The Joint a worthy investment opportunity?

Founded in 1999, The Joint is leading the way in making chiropractic care an essential and affordable part of health and wellness for millions of people seeking relief from back, neck and joint pain. Rapid expansion is proof that The Joint is meeting an enormous need in communities across the country. In the last few years, The Joint has grown consistently, with close to 400 locations open or in development across the United States.

“When I discovered The Joint, and I saw how they were making chiropractic care more accessible, more affordable and convenient for people, I knew that I wanted to become a franchisee,” Christopherson said. “I recognized that The Joint was the future of the chiropractic industry.”

The reason for the brand’s rapid growth is simple: The Joint is making chiropractic care more accessible than ever before. The Joint clinics are placed strategically next to community mainstays such as supermarkets, coffee shops, restaurants and hair salons. With no appointments, no insurance and no hassle, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that The Joint can serve far more people than traditional clinics could ever imagine. According to our most recent Franchise Disclosure Document, the average weekly visit count numbers close to 260, and new customer visits are up in double digits.

“The Joint is the most efficient health care delivery model in the country,” Christopherson says. “Our patients can seek care in any of our over 380 locations nationally and receive the same experience. The Joint is one of the lowest-costing chiropractic care providers on the market, while also being one of the highest-quality deliverers of care. Where else can you go and to receive care without an appointment at 6:30 at night?”

The Joint is a low-cost investment opportunity with high potential returns

With a small footprint, limited overhead and a staff consisting of three to four employees, The Joint is easy to operate and boasts a proven business model that is uncommon 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 hasten their return on investment. Our model works for chiropractors seeking to own a simpler business that avoids the nightmare of insurance billing, and it works incredibly well for business investors, who see the need for more accessible chiropractic care.

The Joint was named to Entrepreneur magazine’s prestigious annual Franchise 500 list of the top franchise systems to invest in for 2017.

With the total financial estimate to begin operations on a new chiropractic franchise ranging from $211,400 – $339,500, The Joint is a low-cost investment opportunity with the potential for high returns.

As Christopherson embarks on their new path of growing The Joint in Minnesota, he has some expert advice as to what qualities you need to have to be successful with The Joint: “Minnesota is the third largest provider of chiropractic care in the U.S.,” Robb says. “We’re looking for entrepreneurs who are driven, motivated and ready to own a business that makes a difference. The future is very bright for The Joint in Minnesota.”

The chiropractic franchise takes steps to foster further growth in one of America’s fastest-growing cities

The Joint, the nation’s fastest-growing chiropractic franchise, recently announced aggressive expansion plans for the area of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with goals to open up to 25 locations in the coming years. To facilitate this growth, The Joint welcomes Heather Sefried as the new regional developer for the metropolitan area of Philadelphia.

Originally from the Philadelphia area, Heather is a well-established Doctor of Chiropractic with over 20 years of experience in the field. She and her husband David, also a Doctor of Chiropractic, opened a franchise clinic with The Joint in Holly Springs, North Carolina, in 2016 and are currently in the process of opening a second franchise location in a nearby town. Heather’s success as both an entrepreneur with The Joint, as well as in the chiropractic industry, makes her ideally suited to help grow The Joint franchises in the Philadelphia area.

“I couldn’t be more excited about helping The Joint expand into the Philadelphia area,” Heather says. “The area is so big, encompassing not only the city, but six surrounding counties as well. We’re aiming to open 25 franchise clinics in the coming years, but the area is growing so rapidly that that number is only the beginning. We’re going to open a pilot clinic near the King of Prussia Mall later this year to show potential investors, entrepreneurs and chiropractors the simplicity of our business model and how easy it is to manage. We’ve generated significant interest already, especially from chiropractors, who want a business that allows them to focus on helping their patients heal, rather than chasing after insurance agencies for payment.”

The Joint is bringing the chiropractic industry to the mainstream

Heather knows the difference between the ease of The Joint’s business model and the often complicated, inaccessible nature of traditional chiropractic clinics. After 20 years in the profession, she has opened several traditional clinics with her husband that have run the gamut of what the industry offers, including personal injury clinics and acupuncture services.

“We have two traditional clinics that do incredibly well,” Heather says. “But we decided to franchise with The Joint as an entrance into an easier business to run over the long-term. We love the chiropractic industry, and both my husband and I know firsthand how successful chiropractic care can be to relieve pain and improve the quality of their life of a patient. You become a doctor because you want to help people, but the reality of owning a traditional clinic is a lot of hours spent on paperwork, and wondering when you’re going to get paid. It’s frustrating. From a doctor’s perspective, The Joint is far more profitable and far more rewarding because you’re not dealing with insurance companies. Instead, you offer one service: spinal adjustments conducted by hand. The more patients you treat, the more money you make. It’s very understandable.”

Targeting the needs of 21st-century consumers, The Joint clinics are placed in bustling shopping centers next to community mainstays such as supermarkets, coffee shops, restaurants and hair salons. With no appointments, no insurance and no hassle, The Joint has grown to over 350 locations across the United States. In the process, we have brought a misunderstood practice to where it has always belonged: an essential part of health and wellness.

“The model works because by allowing doctors the opportunity to focus on what they went to school for, the patient receives an exceptional customer experience,” Heather says. “The Joint is revolutionary because it is bringing affordable, accessible chiropractic care directly to the public. We open our clinics where the public wants to go. We become a part of the community. In doing so, we have the opportunity to treat more people than would ever be possible in a traditional clinic. The most exciting thing from my perspective is that The Joint is treating people who need our level of care who would have never visited a chiropractor without us. That is tremendously exciting.”

The Joint is a low-cost investment opportunity with high potential returns

With a small footprint, limited overhead and a 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 to maximize profitability and potentially hasten the return on investment. Our model works for chiropractors seeking to own a simpler business that avoids the nightmare of insurance billing, and it works incredibly well for business investors who see the need for more accessible chiropractic care.

The Joint was named to Entrepreneur magazine’s prestigious annual Franchise 500 list of the top franchise systems to invest in for 2017. It’s easy to see why, as Entrepreneur notes that The Joint grew by a phenomenal 40 franchise locations from 2015 to 2016, continuing a growth spurt that hasn’t slowed since The Joint began franchising in 2006.

With the total financial estimate to begin operations on a new chiropractic franchise ranging from $216,200 to $331,700, The Joint is a low-cost investment opportunity with the potential for high returns. Because our build-out costs are substantially lower than other brands in the healthcare segment, The Joint offers a quicker ramp-up time to allow for a potentially faster return on investment. The franchise fee for your first chiropractic franchise is $39,900.

The Nation’s Fastest-Growing Chiropractic Franchise is Halfway Through a Banner Year

The Joint Chiropractic franchise is midway through another banner year. Entrepreneur magazine’s No. 1 franchise in the healthcare category for 2017 is giving entrepreneurs a chance to help them realize their dreams of owning a small business that makes a difference in their community.

After six years of unprecedented, double-digit growth, The Joint continues its winning streak with the opening of 25 new clinics across the country, halfway through 2017. In addition to its recent openings, The Joint has signed 18 new licenses from entrepreneurs who are committed to opening franchise clinics in their communities in the near future. This consistent growth is part of an aggressive nationwide expansion campaign that will see The Joint opening hundreds of new locations in coming years. To facilitate this growth, The Joint has announced new Regional Development signings, where existing franchisees will help grow the following areas: Central Florida, Chicago, Philadelphia and Ohio.

“The Joint is connecting with entrepreneurs and chiropractors in a tremendous way,” says Eric Simon, Vice President of Franchise Development at The Joint. “Our model has made chiropractic care an affordable, accessible and convenient part of daily life for our customer base, and our business model is giving entrepreneurs and chiropractors an easy business to run and own. It’s important to note that several of our new franchise clinics are being opened by existing franchisees, proving that the model is rapidly scalable. Because we solely perform spinal adjustments conducted by hand, there is zero inventory, low overhead, and no insurance companies to deal with. We’re excited to be growing so rapidly because the more clinics we have open, the more people we can help find a solution to ease their pain and improve their quality of life.”

Multiple Openings Continue to Highlight Unprecedented Growth

In the first half of 2017, The Joint has opened locations in the following states:

• Arizona
• California
• Georgia
• Florida
• Illinois
• New Hampshire
• North Carolina
• Ohio
• Oregon
• Tennessee
• Texas
• Utah
• Washington

Founded in 1999, The Joint has revolutionized the $14 billion chiropractic industry, with more than 370 clinics open throughout the nation. 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 locations near coffee shops and supermarkets. There is no need for appointments or insurance, and clients don’t have to wait to see a doctor. The Joint is also far more affordable than traditional chiropractic clinics, as the average visit costs nearly half as much as the insurance co-pay of a traditional chiropractic visit.

The rapid nationwide growth isn’t the only good news The Joint has received in 2017. The company recently released its latest Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), which gives a detailed look into the financials of all the franchise clinics that were in operation during the full year of 2016. The 253 franchised clinics experienced a nearly 28% growth in average gross sales from 2015 to 2016.. The Joint reported average gross sales totaling nearly $60,000 more.

“These numbers are validation that our business model not only works but has long-term growth potential for our franchisees,” Simon states. “We recognize that our franchisees are delivering a service that betters their community, and they work passionately to grow their businesses. We’re very pleased that our franchise system is growing year over year and look forward to continued growth in years to come.”
