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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The fast-growing healthcare franchise celebrates another banner year

2020 was a year for the history books. In a year beset by challenges, there were also many silver linings. While much of the economy was impacted by the pandemic, a new category of business emerged: essential businesses. These businesses are allowed to continue to operate because the services they provide are deemed essential to American way of life. For businesses like The Joint Chiropractic^® healthcare franchise, this means helping people find holistic relief from back and neck pain.

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

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

The Joint Chiropractic franchise opens new clinics at a rapid clip

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

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

“We’re tremendously proud of our strong growth in 2020,” says Eric Simon, SVP of Franchise Development with The Joint Chiropractic. “It’s incredibly validating to see how many existing franchise owners are reinvesting in the brand by buying additional licenses; that is proof that our business model is working. As we move forward into 2021, we expect our rapid growth to continue as more and more entrepreneurs discover that you can own a business that offers both tremendous unit-level economics and the ability to help people find relief from pain.”

Premier business publication ranks the fast-growing chiropractic franchise high on the list of wise investment opportunities

Forbes magazine, the premier business publication, recently published their list of “America’s Best Small Companies,” and we’re proud to report that The Joint Chiropractic chiropractor franchises made the cut.

Coming in at No. 13, The Joint Chiropractic® was named to the list based on our strong sales growth over the past 12 months – a period of time that was dominated by the challenges of the global pandemic. The fact that The Joint was able to quickly rebound as an essential business, meet the needs of patients across the country, as well as continue to open new clinics coast to coast, is a strong indicator of the strength of The Joint Chiropractic’s proven business model

“Forbes’ list of America’s Best Small-Cap Companies was compiled using data from FactSet,” the magazine writes. “We screened for companies with a market value between $300 million and $2 billion, positive sales growth over the past 12 months, and a share price of at least $5. Financial institutions, REITs, utilities, and limited partnerships were excluded as were companies public for less than one year.”

“The rankings are based on earnings growth and sales growth for the latest 12 months and over 5 years, one-year and 5-year return on equity and 52-week total return,” Forbes continues. “We gave more weight to the latest-12 month and 1-year data in the ranking. All data is as of November 25, 2020.”

Of the 50 companies listed, The Joint Chiropractic is the only chiropractic franchise to be included on the list, which shows the strength of our concept and our dominance in the market. Forbes reports that The Joint Chiropractic experienced a 36.5% ROI for investors over the time researched to compile the list as well as generated $55.5 million in revenue for the same period of time.

“We couldn’t be prouder to be named one of America’s best small companies by Forbes magazine,” says Peter Holt, President and CEO of The Joint Chiropractic. “This is strong validation of our concept, our franchise model, and the work that our operators do to help people find a holistic approach to pain management. We project that 2021 will be an even stronger year for our brand.”

The Joint Chiropractic® influences life and career in “Lift U Up” podcast with Tamika Bickham

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

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

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

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

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

“Chiropractic care has been essential to my training and my wellness,” Minter reveals. Investing with The Joint was personal to him. It is an investment for your future well-being and not only as it relates to business. “As your body ages, it becomes more about movement and maintaining strength, whereas it used to be all about building muscle,” he admits. Jokingly, he says “NFL” should also stand for “Not For Long,” because he knows he can’t play this game forever.

The largest chiropractic franchise in the nation continues its expansion with new clinics to open before the end of 2020  

Despite a challenging year, The Joint Chiropractic® continues its pace as one of the fastest growing chiropractic franchises in the nation. Recently, the company announced that it is expanding to Kentucky.  

With more than 500 locations across the country, The Joint has grown by revolutionizing access to chiropractic care. For two decades, our chiropractic franchise has earned a reputation for our convenient retail setting and concierge-style services, which means no appointments or insurance hassles, as well as accommodating hours of operation and, most importantly, affordable chiropractic care for patients. 

New franchise owners, Carla Stampfli and her son, Jonathan Stampfli, plan to open three new clinics in Lexington, while Barry Goodman and Taylor Abrams — who serve as part of The Joint’s R&D team — have plans for one clinic in Bowling Green, Kentucky. All clinics will be opened and operated through chiropractic corporations authorized to practice in Kentucky, and all clinics are slated to open by the end of 2021. 

 

For nearly three years, the Stampfli family has searched for the right business opportunity to invest in. They had almost given up hope until Jonathan visited a childhood friend in St. Louis, who recently graduated from Logan University, and now works as a substitute doctor of chiropractic for The Joint. 

“After my friend encouraged me to look into The Joint’s business model, I was impressed by the look and feel of it,” says Jonathan Stampfli. “The more I researched The Joint, I loved the fact that it was focused on wellness. The fact that patients could come on a regular basis to stay healthy, so they didn’t have pain, was amazing to me.”

Carla Stampfli says she was “over the moon” when her son shared that he had finally found the right business opportunity for them. 

“We’ve been wanting to start our own family business for quite some time now,” she says. “After my son introduced me to The Joint, I was just as impressed with the business model. Although I’m retired as a tax accountant, I also have a medical background and ran the front office for a neurologist. It was at that time I decided I didn’t like working with insurance companies because of all the hassles that came along with it. So, when I learned that The Joint didn’t require insurance, I was extremely happy.” 

Joining The Joint’s franchise family and operating a business will be new for Jonathan and Carla Stampfli. The Joint has been helping entrepreneurs like the Stampfli’s thrive in business since 1999. With a proven business model that is straightforward to manage, and quick to scale, The Joint sets new owners up for success from the start by teaching them how to manage every aspect of the business. This includes everything from training, to site selection, to construction, to grand opening, and much more. 

The Stampfli family credit The Joint’s R&D management team, Taylor Abrams and Barry Goodman, for their exceptional support and guidance during this time.  

“The Joint has a phenomenal support team,” says Carla Stampfli. “We’re excited to get our doors open, and, depending on how we do with these clinics, we definitely have plans to scale the business even more.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

You can hire a chiropractor to help you run your business

The Joint is not only one of the fastest growing chiropractic franchises in the United States but its network is also the largest employer of chiropractors in the nation. Since you don’t have any chiropractic experience, we know you don’t have any experience hiring a chiropractor. This is where our exceptional leadership team excels as they will train and help you recruit a top chiropractor for your clinic. Chiropractors enjoy working for The Joint because we not only offer spinal adjustments, but we also offer a membership model instead of requiring insurance. As a result, chiropractors spend more time alleviating patients’ pain instead of haggling over payment with insurance companies. 

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

Our chiropractic franchise offers unmatched support 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A year industry praise for The Joint

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

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

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

Fast growing chiropractic franchise gives away $1.7 million worth of free adjustments to help Americans relieve pain during pandemic

The Joint Chiropractic®, the fast growing chiropractic franchise, has a mission to help people find fast, affordable and convenient relief from back and neck pain. During the pandemic, our services are more relevant than ever.

This is why The Joint gave away $1.7 million worth of free adjustments to help get Americans moving and relieve pain during the crisis. This June giveaway brought over 60,000 new patients to The Joint’s franchise clinics, successfully introducing them to The Joint’s revolutionary model of chiropractic care.

“Since the onset of COVID-19, nearly two-thirds of Americans were forced to work from home, wreaking havoc on their spines,” says Peter D. Holt, President and CEO of The Joint Corp. “It’s clear from our results that thousands of Americans felt a need to incorporate chiropractic care into their healthcare routines to maintain overall health and wellness. As an essential healthcare service, we are committed to being there for our patients when and where available during the pandemic, as they seek relief from pain and for their wellbeing.” 

For our franchise owners, The Joint was deemed an essential business in most states across the country – meaning that our clinics in those states were allowed to continue operation. This is critical, as franchise owners were able to continue to generate revenue, and most importantly, help their patients find relief from pain, as much of the rest of the economy was shut down.

The Joint has also continued to experience strong growth during 2020, with nearly 20 new openings and several more planned for the months to come.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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