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 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. 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 – $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 Fastest Growing Chiropractic Franchise Brings on New VP of Franchise Sales and Development to Shepherd in Era of Rapid Growth

The Joint is the fastest-growing chiropractic franchise in the nation, with over 370 clinics open. The brand has no plans of slowing down anytime soon, with goals to expand to 1,700 locations across the United States in the coming years. To facilitate this growth, the company has brought on Eric Simon as the new VP of Franchise Sales and Development.

Eric comes to The Joint with decades of experience in the franchise industry, and most recently served in the same role in a high-profile setting with AAMCO, where he helped usher in a new period of growth and franchisee satisfaction for the iconic transmission repair giant. Eric’s background goes far beyond his role, spending time as both a franchisee, and in the intellectual realm of franchising, analyzing the industry and helping brands finance their applicants with a company called FRANdata.

“I was attracted to join The Joint for a bunch of different reasons, but the fact that The Joint is in growth mode was high on the list,” Eric says. “In my career, I’ve been with franchisors at various stages in the life cycle of a brand — some needed rehabilitation, some needed to become established, but when a franchisor is in growth mode, that is the most exciting time to be there. I also wanted to be a part of something that was helping people, and with The Joint being at the forefront of the rapidly growing chiropractic industry, the opportunity to do so is enormous. It was a no-brainer, and I’m excited about the future of this great brand.”

The Joint Franchise Disrupts the Industry With Innovative Business Model

Founded in 1999, The Joint has revolutionized the $14 billion chiropractic 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.

“People are looking for alternative ways to manage pain, and for the millions of people who suffer from daily back pain, The Joint doesn’t disrupt their entire lives,” Eric says. “Our customers don’t have to take the day off work to find relief. They can visit us on their lunch breaks or on their way home from work. It’s at a price point where people don’t have to go through insurance, and our membership model makes visiting us even more affordable.

The Joint is super convenient for customers, there are no appointments, and it serves an underserved market: the millions of people who experience back pain but haven’t experienced chiropractic care before. It’s a win-win for consumers and our franchisees alike.”

Simple Business Model Leads to Rapid Growth

As a franchise system, The Joint is in a class by itself. Entrepreneur magazine recently ranked The Joint as the No. 1 franchise opportunity in the healthcare segment for the second year in a row on their prestigious annual “Best of the Best” list. The brand’s proven business model is providing entrepreneurs and chiropractors alike with the chance to live their passion of helping others while also making a great business.

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.

“It’s such a simple business model, so it’s easy for new entrepreneurs to understand how they can be successful,” Eric says. “It’s also equally attractive for chiropractors who are sick of the insurance industry, which gets in the way of their private practice. They want to be able to take on new patients and practice their craft, and have an accessible, cash-only business to complement their traditional clinic. There’s no costs of goods, there is minimum overhead, and it’s a high volume business that’s providing a service millions of people need. Chiropractors often wonder how we can charge what we charge and be profitable, but once they talk to our franchisees, they get it. The simplicity of our business model is just world’s away from traditional clinics, and it is why our franchisees can quickly scale to multiple units.”

Part of the success of The Joint is that the brand is the first to put chiropractic care into the retail setting; The Joint clinics are placed in bustling shopping centers that have heavy foot traffic, ideal parking and the brands that the community loves to visit. And it isn’t a guessing game; The Joint employs the strategies of Global Information Systems (GIS) and customer analytics to help determine exactly where a new location might be successful in any given community.

“When people come into the system, we go above and beyond to ensure that when they open their doors to their community, they are positioned for success,” Eric says. “The real estate team uses a phenomenal amount of data, and takes a scientific, analytical approach to where clinics should go in any given market. We want our franchisees to be successful over the long term, so we measure everything from demographics to psychographics to city planning. Our process really works.

Our next Franchise Disclosure Document will have an in-depth Item 19, which will give prospective franchisees a full view of the past year’s financials from a large group of existing franchisees. We had a really great year in 2016, and 2017 is shaping up to be even better.”

Local Fox News affiliate highlights the fastest growing chiropractic franchise for their ability to help treat back pain caused by sedentary workplace lifestyles

The Joint Chiropractic is the fastest growing chiropractic franchise in the nation, and judging by the staggering amount of Americans suffering from back pain, new locations can’t open fast enough. The fact that millions of Americans are sitting at work in front of their computers for hours on end has contributed to a massive increase in back pain.

The Fox News affiliate in Denver, Colorado, recently devoted an entire segment on their nightly television program to this widespread problem. The news program invited The Joint Chiropractic’s Dr. Brandon Heath, in studio to help their viewers by providing tips regarding, “Three Ways to Combat Your Back Pain From Sitting at Your Desk.”

 

“Many of us spend eight hours a day sitting at a desk, staring at a computer screen and that affects our body in so many ways. Sitting for long periods can increase our risk of heart disease, diabetes and even cancer,” Fox News 31 reports in the article accompanying the television segment. “But the thing many of us notice on a weekly basis is back pain. At The Joint Chiropractic clinic in Denver, doctors say half of their patients come in for back pain that is caused from sitting at work.”

The segment featured a professional marketer, who experienced back pain after long hours in a desk chair. She then became a patient at The Joint and found relief working with Dr. Heath. Dr. Heath also offered three useful stretches for viewers to help proactively combat their back pain:

1. Figure Four: Sit on a chair and put your ankle across the opposite knee and push into it.
2. Rag Doll: Stand up and bend over at the waist and let your upper body hang
3. Cat/Cow: Get on all fours and drop the belly, then arch the back like a cat

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. The Joint offers one service: spinal adjustments conducted by hand. This easy-to-understand practice is chiropractic care as it was meant to be delivered. Because the business model has made chiropractic care consumer-friendly, The Joint has helped more people take control of their health and wellness through chiropractic care than ever before. The Joint performs more than 4 million spinal adjustments annually.

While the newest study published by 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), the rising demand for chiropractic care 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.”

“The field of chiropractic care is becoming significantly more important as more and more people are becoming concerned with finding alternative methods to manage their overall health and wellness,” says Peter D. Holt, President and CEO of The Joint. “People’s perception of chiropractic care is dramatically changing due to several factors: our nation’s problems with obesity and the medical emergency that is the abuse of pain medication, which has never been higher than it is now. As more than 80% of people will experience back pain at some point in their lives, chiropractic care is a natural and effective way to treat that pain without the use of prescription medication.”

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. Its membership model eliminates the need for insurance, while providing franchise owners with a recurring revenue stream that helps to maximize profitability and potentially hastens 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.

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 potential for high returns. Because 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 Fastest Growing Chiropractic Franchise is Ranked as the No. 1 Franchise Opportunity in the Healthcare Segment for Second Consecutive Year

The Joint is in business to help Americans live healthier, fuller lives through the proven practice of chiropractic care. Founded in 1999, The Joint has grown quickly to over 370 clinics across the country, introducing millions to chiropractic care by making it affordable, customer-friendly friendly and accessible. The Joint is excited to announce that Entrepreneur Magazine has once again named us the No. 1 franchise opportunity in the healthcare segment in their recently released, “Best of the Best” list.

2017 is the second consecutive year The Joint has been awarded the top spot in the healthcare segment on the annual and prestigious list. The announcement comes hot on the heels of The Joint’s inclusion in Entrepreneur Magazine’s annual Franchise 500, which details the top franchise systems to invest in 2017. This year’s ranking marks a significant jump to No. 127, up 27 spots from 2016, when The Joint occupied No. 154 on last year’s Franchise 500 list.

“We’re very honored to be ranked as the No. 1 franchise in the healthcare segment for the second year in a row,” says Peter D. Holt, President and 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,” Holt added. “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 the No. 1 healthcare franchise?

The Joint is disrupting the $14 billion chiropractic 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 field of chiropractic care is becoming significantly more important as more and more people are becoming concerned with finding alternative methods to manage their overall health and wellness,” Holt says. “People’s perception of chiropractic care is dramatically changing due to several factors: our nation’s problems with obesity and the medical emergency that is the abuse of pain medication, which has never been higher than it is now. As over 80% of people will experience back pain at some point in their lives, chiropractic care is a natural and effective way to treat that pain without the use of prescription medication.”

As the largest employer of chiropractors in the world, it should come as no surprise that chiropractors are franchising with The Joint in record numbers. The Joint allows chiropractors to do what they love: helping their patients heal. The Joint offers only spinal adjustments conducted by hand, which frees chiropractors from the headaches of the insurance companies and the endless paperwork, as well as the waiting to get paid for services that many traditional chiropractors face daily.

“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,” says Heather Sefried, a chiropractor and multi-unit franchise owner with The Joint. “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 Fastest Growing Chiropractic Franchise is Named as a Best-Bet Investment Opportunity on Prestigious Annual List

The Joint enters the new year on a high note by being named to Entrepreneur magazine’s prestigious annual Franchise 500 list of the top franchise systems to invest in for 2017. This year’s inclusion marks a significant jump to No. 127, up 27 spots from 2016, where The Joint occupied No. 154 on last year’s Franchise 500 list.

To create the Franchise 500, Entrepreneur analyzes thousands of franchise systems for viability in system size, growth, and financial strength and stability, as well as new metrics such as success in effectively utilizing social media to give entrepreneurs a comprehensive ranking of the brands that are best-bet investments.

With Entrepreneur noting 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, it is easy to why the nation’s premier chiropractic franchise saw such a marked increase in this year’s ranking.

What Makes The Joint a Best-Bet investment for chiropractors and investors alike?

Entrepreneur magazine is not the only publication to declare that The Joint is a best-bet investment for 2017. Franchise Times recently named The Joint to their Fast & Serious list for 2017, which makes sense considering that The Joint is the fastest-growing chiropractic franchise in the nation. The Joint is ushering in a new era of mainstream credibility for the $14 billion chiropractic industry by not only giving millions of people access to affordable and convenient chiropractic care but also giving chiropractors and investors an easy business model that is simple-to-run and quick-to-scale.

“We’re very honored to be included on Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 for 2017,” says Peter Holt, CEO of The Joint. “It’s especially validating that we’re ranked higher this year, because it signals to us that the model we’ve created is really resonating with the wider public and the franchise industry at large. We’re the largest umbrella of chiropractic clinics in the world, and we’re only getting started. We’re growing from 360 units to over 1,700 in the coming years, and this is an excellent business for investors and chiropractic professionals to invest in.”

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 Future of Chiropractic Care”: The Joint

The Joint offers one service: spinal adjustments conducted by hand. This easy-to-understand practice is chiropractic care as it was meant to be delivered. Because the business model has made chiropractic care consumer-friendly, The Joint has helped more people take control of their health and wellness through chiropractic care than ever before. In 2015, The Joint performed 3.2 million patient visits, up from 2 million the year before.

“I truly believe that The Joint is the future of chiropractic care,” says Dr. Tim McKinley, owner of The Joint franchise clinic in Houston, Texas. “The coolest thing for me as the chiropractor and the owner of my clinic is the concept, the business model. The patients love it. It’s created from their perspective. It meets their needs. When you go into an environment where the customers are happy about where they are and the services they’re receiving, it’s a much more pleasant place to work than a traditional chiropractic care practice, where the majority of your time is spent dealing with attorneys and insurance companies. I honestly cannot foresee the traditional chiropractic care clinic lasting much longer. With The Joint, a chiropractor can devote his or her energies to helping people in a friendlier environment for the patient and doctor.”
