The expanding chiropractic franchise continues its aggressive growth by focusing on convenience, affordability and accessibility

The Joint Chiropractic, the nation’s fastest-growing chiropractic franchise, is at the forefront of helping Americans find relief from pain through chiropractic care. Founded 20 years ago, The Joint revolutionized access to chiropractic by conveniently placing our clinics in daily-use strip centers, next to supermarkets and bustling shopping centers. By only allowing walk-in appointments and setting convenient hours for working people, The Joint prioritized providing patients with treatment when it’s convenient for them. 

More importantly, The Joint is affordable to patients and is more available through membership offerings and package deals on multiple visits. This focus on convenience, accessibility and affordability has helped introduce more patients to chiropractic care. It also is the reason why The Joint continues to grow rapidly throughout the country.

Today, we have carved out our own lane in the $15 billion chiropractic industry with more than 480 locations nationwide. Our chiropractic franchise continues its aggressive expansion with multiple new openings in Huntsville and Madison, Alabama, which are slated to open in late 2019 and early 2020. We also are gearing up to find rental space in Birmingham, Montgomery and Mobile.

The Joint’s unique business model

“There is no doubt that 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. “We’re incredibly proud that our franchise owners treat 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 and earn a great living at the same time.”

Dr. Patrick Greco, regional developer and multi-unit operator at The Joint Chiropractic, is planning on opening more locations in the Southeast. Dr. Greco has opened 41 clinics in his region and has 15 more in the development pipeline.

“We are excited about our growth throughout Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi,” Dr. Greco said. “I’m enormously proud of how successful The Joint has been in my region and the good news is there is still plenty of room for growth.”

The fastest-growing chiropractic business to partner with college during the 2019-20 academic year

The Joint Chiropractic, the nation’s fastest-growing chiropractic franchise, is proud to announce it is the official chiropractic provider for Georgia Tech Athletics for the 2019-20 Academic Year.

This partnership reflects the strong relationship between chiropractic care and athletic performance. Chiropractic provides a safe, natural and drug-free option to relieve pain, as well as preventative benefits vital to keeping the body balanced, flexible and functioning at its best.

“We are honored to begin this relationship with Georgia Tech Athletics, which underscores the correlation between sports, training and exercise with chiropractic care,” said Peter D. Holt, President and CEO of The Joint Corp. “There are many physical demands of being an elite competitor and The Joint is proud to support the athletes at Georgia Tech to be their best – every day and for every game.”

For athletes, chiropractic adjustments have the potential to ease pain, increase range of motion and help them avoid injuries. Experts estimate that 90 percent of all world-class athletes use chiropractic care to prevent injuries and improve their performance.

“We are thrilled to partner with The Joint Chiropractic. Improving the quality of life through routine and affordable chiropractic care is at the core of The Joint‘s mission and we are excited to team up in support of Georgia Tech Athletics,” said Dave Bouteiller, general manager of Georgia Tech Sports Properties. 

The fastest-growing chiropractic franchise is helping meet a growing demand for holistic care in Tampa, Florida

When an entrepreneur decides to franchise with The Joint Chiropractic, the nation’s fastest-growing chiropractic franchise, they are deciding to own a business that makes a real, lasting difference.

It is often the case that our entrepreneurs were helped by chiropractic care themselves, or overcame serious medical obstacles and decided to open a business that would allow them to pay it forward. This is the case of Alex Pierroutsakos, owner of one of The Joint’s clinics in Tampa, Florida, which just celebrated its second year in business.

In a terrific new feature article published by Neighborhood News, entitled, “The Joint Chiropractic Center Offers Affordable Relief for Your Pain!” Alex gets a chance to tell his story in detail:

Given the potential for abuse of and addiction to opioids, Alex Pierroutsakos was determined after losing his arm in a serious car accident at the age of 23 not to become reliant on them.

So, to manage his pain, he searched for alternatives, such as exercise, diet, massage therapy and chiropractic care.

“Those are the four things that have helped me get myself to be able to live my healthy, active life,” Alex says.

While the first three of the four things were readily accessible, Alex found that finding good, affordable and available chiropractic care wasn’t. It inspired him to open The Joint Chiropractic Center in New Tampa.

Inside Alex’s booming chiropractic care business

Neighborhood News reports that Alex’s location has more than 400 members, who benefit from the affordable, convenient and revolutionary access to chiropractic care his business provides. Not surprisingly, Alex discovered that his patient base is wide, ranging from Baby Boomers to High School athletes, all of whom love the fact that they can show up to The Joint without an appointment and get exceptional care in minutes.

“I would say the majority of our patients come in with some level of back and neck pain,” Alex says in the article. “After that, people come because of headaches, or problems with an extremity, like a knee, ankle or shoulder.”

“We actually help a lot of young people, like cheerleaders and football players,” he continues in the article. “There’s a tremendous amount of study around ankle and leg adjustments to prevent injury for football players and other athletes. When my chiropractor does my ankles, holy cow…because I exercise and run a lot, the amount of build-up onto that ankle is unbelievable. It’s a significant adjustment.”

The fastest-growing chiropractic franchise celebrates brand milestones at annual conference

The Joint Chiropractic, the nation’s fastest-growing chiropractic franchise, celebrated a monumental year of success and robust future during its annual convention, which recently took place in Scottsdale, Arizona. The convention theme, “Real People, Real Results,” highlighted the positive impact that The Joint clinics have on their patients and proved that strong support for franchisees remains a top priority.

“Our annual convention served as a reminder of how remarkable our franchise system truly is, including the chiropractors that routinely change patients’ lives,” says Peter D. Holt, President and CEO of The Joint Corp. “The successes that we have seen over the last three years, and the wonderful opportunities we have ahead of us, are the direct result of the support and dedication that is put into every clinic by every franchisee. We’re stronger today because of the dedication of the entire The Joint franchise network.”

This year’s convention celebrated company-wide accomplishments during 2018 and challenged all attendees – franchisees, chiropractors, corporate leadership and vendors – to continue to exceed expectations, lead by example and bring quality and affordable chiropractic care to patients everywhere. The three-day convention included some discussions and seminars focused on major brand priorities, such as growth plans, patient care, chiropractor recruitment and retention, and other initiatives for continued success.

The Joint‘s tremendous growth in chiropractic care

During the general sessions, Holt discussed that the company opened 47 clinics in 2018 and opened 14 clinics in the first quarter of 2019, compared to seven in the first quarter of 2018. Likewise, in 2018 The Joint signed 99 franchise development licenses. Through April 30, 2019, the company sold another 60 franchise development licenses, building a healthy pipeline of new locations primarily through a thriving regional developer program.

Also signaling the strength of the company, annual system-wide gross revenue grew 30 percent from 2017 to 2018 – among the best of all U.S. brands situated in retail environments. In 2018, 79 percent of the gross revenue was contributed by The Joint’s monthly membership program, highlighting the loyalty patients are showing for The Joint and its services.

Even with The Joint’s robust growth and expansion, Holt acknowledged that there is an expansive opportunity for continued success. The company is in a position to further inform and meet the needs of Americans for natural pain relief and wellness. Out of all patients seen by The Joint in 2018, 26 percent of them were new to chiropractic care.

Rounding out the gathering was the illustrious awards ceremony. The Joint bestowed honors on top-performing franchisees, chiropractors and additional team members in attendance for several achievements, including:

• Wellness Coordinator of the Year – Monica Woodall: Raleigh, North Carolina
• Chiropractor of the Year – Dr. Jim Handzel: Phoenix, Arizona
• Professional Corporation (PC) of the Year – Dr. Kim Sahagun: Southern California
• Rookie Franchisee of the Year – Kane Ali: Jacksonville, Florida
• Regional Developer of the Year – Anne and David Glover: Austin, Dallas, San Antonio & Houston, Texas
• Franchisee of the Year – Teresa and Tony Giuseppe: Phoenix, Arizona

“Over the years, our main goal has been to make a profound impact on people’s lives,” Holt says. “Hearing patient and franchise member success stories is a humbling experience and remains proof that, as a team, we’re really making a positive difference.” The Joint Chiropractic is the nation’s largest network of non-insurance, private-pay chiropractic health care clinics in the United States. It’s known for its no-appointment, no-insurance and no-hassle concierge-style service. The Joint’s modern membership model allows patients seeking quality pain relief and prevention to customize ongoing treatment plans or receive routine chiropractic exams, as prescribed by their chiropractor. Plus, patients can use their membership at any of The Joint Chiropractic clinics nationwide.

The fastest-growing chiropractic franchise in the nation jumps up 15 spots on prestigious annual list

Franchise Gator, a leading resource for prospective franchisees, announced that The Joint Chiropractic has been named to its annual list of top 100 franchise companies. The list, titled “Top 100 Franchises of 2019,” ranked hundreds of participating franchise companies based on their overall performance over the last 12 months. The Joint was ranked 42nd, up 15 spots from its ranking on the list last year.

The award validates the progress The Joint has made in the past year. In 2018, the brand added more than 47 clinics, bringing the total to 442 clinics in communities throughout the United States.

“This award is a great benchmark of success for our business,” says Peter Holt, President and CEO of The Joint Chiropractic. “We look forward to continuing this momentum throughout 2019, as we provide even more communities across the country with affordable, accessible chiropractic care.”

The Franchise Gator Top 100 Franchises of 2019 list measures the quality of a franchise system over time based on financial stability, growth, transparency, engagement, continuity and sustainability. The ranking also evaluates the investment range and franchise industry. The list includes three categories: Top 100 Franchises, Fastest Growing Franchises and Top Emerging Franchises.

Franchise Gator collected and evaluated data based on various pieces of the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) that focus on financial stability, growth, transparency, engagement, continuity and sustainability. Hundreds of FDDs were studied in 2018 to establish the ranking from 2019.

“Strong growth is one of many areas a prospective franchisee can look at when evaluating a franchise brand,” says Eric Bell, General Manager at Franchise Gator. “Total unit count is important as every franchise company’s mission is to increase their footprint as it makes the whole system much healthier.”

The Joint is reinventing access to chiropractic care by making it convenient and affordable for patients seeking pain relief and ongoing wellness. They don’t require appointments or health insurance and are open evenings and weekends. By welcoming walk-ins and strategically placing locations near high-traffic shopping centers, grocery stores and retail areas, patients have easier access to their clinics and can seamlessly visit a licensed chiropractor without disrupting their daily lives.

Additionally, The Joint’s unique membership model allows patients to customize their ongoing treatment or take part in preventative care weekly. Plus, patients can use their membership at any clinic nationwide while maintaining their continuity of care. 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.

Longtime patient boasts in prestigious business publication the benefits of joining the nation’s fastest-growing chiropractic franchise

The Joint Chiropractic franchise is transforming the way chiropractic care is delivered in the United States. By emphasizing convenience, affordability and customer service, The Joint’s membership model has introduced chiropractic care to thousands of people, helping them heal in the process. This revolutionary model is not lost on Forbes, which recently published an article on the benefits of membership with The Joint.

In the article “The Joint Offers Affordable Chiropractic Care — Is It Right For You?”, author Jeanne Croteau writes that she has been a member of The Joint for a few years, and she outlines the benefits from the patient’s perspective:

“After being a member at The Joint for the past two years, I can say that, while things may vary slightly from one location to another, this is all true,” Croteau writes. “Typically, I can walk in to the clinic (which is often a storefront in a strip mall), scan the tag on my keychain and be adjusted almost immediately. I’m usually back in my van within five minutes.”

Croteau then writes that The Joint’s membership plan saves the patient money in the long term and allows a patient to be treated anywhere there is a clinic:

“While you can pay for single visits or purchase a package, it’s far more economical to sign up for the membership plan,” she writes. “With your membership, you can visit any location across the country, which comes in handy if you are traveling or have relocated.”

From an owner’s perspective, the business model allows you to treat far more patients than a traditional clinic

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

“The true success of The Joint is that we are making chiropractic care available to millions of Americans who never w

ould have considered visiting a chiropractor before,” says Peter Holt, President and CEO of The Joint. “There are so many people suffering from neck and back pain as a result of our sedentary lifestyles, our diets, our workout regimens and our age. Our franchise owners become meaningful members of their communities because we’re right next door to the supermarkets, the coffee shops like Starbucks and restaurants like Chipotle. We’re accessible, affordable and we can treat our customers in a matter of minutes — sending them on their way to meet their friends or do their grocery shopping.”

The fastest-growing chiropractic franchise celebrates the opening
of first clinic in the Sooner State

The Joint, the nation’s fastest-growing chiropractic franchise, recently announced the opening of its first-ever location in Oklahoma. The new clinic is open in Edmond, a city that’s part of the booming Oklahoma City Metropolitan Area.

The Edmond Sun ran a story that began like this: “The days of dealing with chronic back pain, neck pain and migraines will soon be a thing of the past for some Edmond residents who choose to visit a new business.”

The cause for celebration goes far beyond how The Joint makes chiropractic care more accessible and more affordable than the citizens of Edmond have experienced before.

The Joint‘s plan for chiropractic clinic expansion

Founded in 1999, The Joint is ushering in a new era of the $15 billion chiropractic industry by placing clinics in highly visible retail settings — next to supermarkets and coffee shops. The Joint only offers walk-in spinal alignments, conducted by hand. Its gym-style membership model does away with the need for insurance. As a result, The Joint can treat patients in as little as 15 minutes — easy for visits to fit in between shopping trips on the weekends or on commutes home from work.

The publication reports that Dr. Matt Dreadfulwater, who operates four franchise clinics in Dallas and Fort Worth, is operating the clinic in Edmond.

“Chiropractic care is an important aspect of any health and wellness routine. Everyday activities, such as sitting at a desk all day or constantly looking down to check our phones, take a toll on our bodies — especially our back, shoulders and neck. A key to preventing and managing pain is routine chiropractic adjustments,” Dreadfulwater says in the article. “The Joint removes the hassle of insurance and booking appointments, making it more convenient for patients in Edmond to maintain a chiropractic care regimen.”

Where is The Joint expanding?

This has been a significant year for The Joint, which celebrated the opening of its 400th location earlier in the year. The chiropractic care franchise has been growing at a rapid clip for several years; here is a short list of the openings The Joint has recently announced:

• Two new franchise clinics in Atlanta, Georgia. This brings the total franchise clinics in the Atlanta metropolitan area to 31 locations.
• One new franchise in Cleveland, Ohio. This is The Joint’s first franchise clinic in Northeast Ohio and the sixth in the Buckeye State.
• One new franchise clinic in Wichita, Kansas. This is the second location in the city’s market.

The fastest-growing chiropractic franchise welcomes celebrity owner to The Joint

The Joint, the fastest-growing chiropractic franchise, ought to consider opening its own Hall of Fame for athletes turned entrepreneurs. The Joint has already welcomed former Major League Baseball player Rob Quinlan, who has opened multiple locations in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Now, The Joint is pleased to welcome current star of the National Football League and linebacker with The New York Jets Kevin Minter, who is due to open two new locations in the Atlanta metropolitan area.

Minter, who graduated from an Atlanta-area high school, is opening the two locations with his business partner and local attorney, Walter Booth, in the areas of Duluth and Peachtree Road in the summer of 2018.

“There are countless benefits that can come from improving spinal and joint function, the most important being a healthier, more comfortable daily life,” Minter says in a news release. “Providing our communities with the chiropractic care they need is going to be easier than ever before. I look forward to helping those suffering from pain to get relief, and to provide continual, preventative treatments to assist in ensuring happy, healthy lifestyles.”

As an NFL star, Minter already is familiar with the benefits of chiropractic care. A few years ago, the Professional Football Chiropractic Society announced that they would be providing services to all 32 teams in the NFL. With major stars such as Reggie Bush, Marques Colston, Lance Moore, Jerry Rice and others on board with the cause, chiropractic care is making a real impact in the lives of NFL athletes.

As franchisees with The Joint, Minter and Booth now can deliver affordable and accessible chiropractic care to their communities.

“From the first time I visited one of The Joint’s clinics, I knew it was exactly what was needed in Duluth and Peachtree Corners,” Booth says in a news release. “Kevin and I both have a true passion for wellness and are proud to introduce Gwinnett County to all that The Joint has to offer.”

How entrepreneur Chad Eads went from owning ice cream shops to becoming the Regional Developer of Tennessee with the fastest-growing chiropractic franchise

How does an entrepreneur go from owning multiple ice cream shops to owning multiple chiropractic clinics? For Chad Eads, a multi-unit franchisee with The Joint, the answer is simpler than you may think: a savvy entrepreneur goes after a good opportunity when it comes along.

Based in Asheville, North Carolina, Chad Eads began his career as an entrepreneur with the Cold Stone Creamery franchise. The ice cream franchise has done enormously well for Eads, who owns six Cold Stone Creamery locations from Asheville to Southern Georgia.

When Paul Trindle, another Cold Stone Creamery franchise owner, mentioned that he was investing in a new chiropractic franchise, Eads was immediately interested.

“Asheville is a town that is very focused on health and wellness, and alternative medicine is mainstream here,” Eads says. “When Paul introduced me to the concept, and he showed me how simple it was to own and operate the business, it was a no-brainer. I knew that I was going to invest in this business and open a clinic in Asheville.”

The Joint’s Unique Business Model

The secret to The Joint’s ongoing success is that the business model is extremely simple to understand. This is by design. Unlike traditional chiropractic clinics, The Joint places its locations in popular destinations — next to retail stores, restaurants and supermarkets. The Joint doesn’t accept insurance, which also does away with the need to chase insurance companies for payment. Instead, The Joint encourages walk-in appointments and offers a gym-like membership model. Most importantly, patients can be treated in 15 minutes or less because The Joint only offers one service: spinal adjustments performed by hand.

“The Joint’s business model is a breeze compared to my ice cream businesses,” Eads says. “In The Joint, your small staff is made up of professionals who are completely aligned in the mission to provide the best customer service and the best treatment for the patient. In my ice cream business, I often joke that it causes brain damage, because you’re dealing with teenagers who show up late, you’re dealing with food and inventory. Compared to that, The Joint is incredibly easy to own.”

As the owner of multiple clinics with The Joint, Eads experiences what so many of the brand’s franchise owners experience on a month-to-month basis: The Joint is far more profitable than a traditional chiropractic clinic. According to The Joint’s most recent Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), the 253 franchise clinics open in 2016 experienced nearly 28 percent growth in average gross sales from 2015, bringing the number to $320,765.

“Every month in business is better than the month before,” Eads says. “If there is a ceiling, we have not hit it yet. The Joint is making access to chiropractic care more affordable and more accessible than ever before, and we’ve experienced this at our clinics in Asheville.”

Chad Reaches New Heights with Chiropractic Care in Tennessee

To help more entrepreneurs find success with The Joint, Eads and Trindle forged a partnership to become the new Regional Developers for The Joint in Tennessee. Eads and Trindles’ shared knowledge of the brand’s business model, and their active ownership in multiple clinics, as well as their proximity to Tennessee, makes them ideally suited to grow The Joint in the Volunteer State.

“The amount of wide open territory in Tennessee is an enormous opportunity for entrepreneurs who are passionate about health and wellness,” Eads says. “This business not only has the potential to yield financial rewards, an owner can take pride in the knowledge that their business is actively, meaningfully impacting people in their community who are desperate to find relief from ongoing pain. It is a powerful business to be a part of, and the level of interest we’re experiencing from entrepreneurs in Tennessee is evident of the fact that The Joint will be growing rapidly in the state for years to come.”
