The fast-growing chiropractic health franchise opens clinics on military bases to help veterans heal

The physical toll taken by our members of the military is unparalleled in any other profession or public service, which is why The Joint Chiropractic health franchise is honored to announce the company is providing on-installation chiropractic care to several military bases across the U.S.

The Joint Chiropractic, the nation’s largest provider of chiropractic care, recently announced its three initial target locations: the Luke Air Force Base in Phoenix, Ariz., MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Fla. and Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in Trenton, New Jersey.

“We’re proud to offer even more convenience to our patients and their families of the armed services,” said Peter D. Holt, President and CEO of The Joint Corp. “Our members of the military put their bodies through extraordinary stresses in the performance of their duties. The benefits of chiropractic care can positively impact and enhance their overall wellness, as they carry out their role in defending our nation.”

The proven benefits of chiropractic care

Time and again, chiropractic care for our members of the military who undergo the rigors of protecting the nation has proven vitally beneficial to their health. A decade-long study by the Defense Department, for instance, showed chiropractic care significantly helped service members with back pain, improved isometric strength by 5% and increased endurance by 14%.

“Based on the results, the investigators concluded that chiropractic care improves key fitness characteristics among active-duty service members with lower back pain and could lead to improved military readiness in such individuals,” the report notes.

The Joint Chiropractic’s agreement with the Army & Air Force Exchange Service provides even more convenience and access for members of the military and their families. The Exchange operates more than 4,900 facilities in more than 30 countries, 50 states and four U.S. territories, with an eligible customer base of 33 million active-duty and retired service members and their families.

Chiropractic care in the military

“Having served five overseas tours, I have seen firsthand the toll military life can put on the body. I have personally experienced how chiropractic care helps restore movement and reduce discomfort to the body brought on from serving in the Armed Forces,” Major Barrett McNabb, U.S. Army (Retired) and multi-unit owner at The Joint Chiropractic, said. “I’m proud to be part of an organization working to serve this special group through this new relationship with the Exchange in offering convenient chiropractic services on base.”

Another study from the Journal of General Internal Medicine that looked at 142,539 active duty Army personnel with chronic pain receiving nonpharmacological treatments, such as chiropractic care, also saw increased joint mobility, improved immunity and better sleep and overall health. For many researchers, the benefits of chiropractic care for military members are just being discovered.

This is why, in part, The Joint Chiropractic offers the Military Appreciate Program, a year-round program that offers active and retired military and National Guard personnel and veterans, as well as immediate family, an initial visit for only $19, and a $10 discount for monthly wellness plans or chiropractic care packages. The Joint Chiropractic is committed to making sure our military has the access it needs to improve quality of life through routine chiropractic care.

Fast-growing chiropractic franchise earns the top spot on list of health & wellness franchise opportunities

The Joint Chiropractic, the fastest-growing chiropractic franchise in the country, has claimed the top spot on Entrepreneur Magazine’s 2021 Franchise 500 list after being named the No. 1 franchise in the publication’s Health category.

“This recognition is yet another signal that this is the right time for entrepreneurs to invest in a smart business model that not only has a proven and successful track record, but also provides customers with everyday pain relief,” said Peter D. Holt, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Joint Corp.

Entrepreneur Magazine, the premier source for everything small business, releases its esteemed ranking every year. The Joint Chiropractic not only claimed the number one spot in the Health category, but also moved up 20 positions from last year, showcasing our tremendous growth.

The Joint Chiropractic’s phenomenal year of growth

“We call them the ‘best of the best’—the franchises that ranked not only in our increasingly competitive Franchise 500 list this year but also at the top of their respective industry categories,” Entrepreneur Magazine said.

Other companies that made the list were evaluated on more than 150 data points, such as areas of cost and fees, size and growth, franchisee support, brand strength, as well as financial strength and stability. The Joint was recognized for boasting nearly 550 clinics as of 2020, showing a more than 42% increase over the past three years.

Founded in 1999, The Joint has changed the $15 billion chiropractic industry by making chiropractic care more accessible, convenient and affordable than traditional chiropractic clinics.

“We haven’t altered chiropractic care; the reason we’re so influential is that we have revolutionized access to chiropractic care,” Holt said.  “We’ve made access to pain management convenient for people by placing our clinics in small box retail settings, next to where we get our coffee, our groceries and cut our hair.”

For entrepreneurs, The Joint offers simple construction and build-outs with a small footprint, which improves the real estate approval process. 

“The reason why so many entrepreneurs and chiropractors are investing in The Joint is because our unit economics are so strong,” Holt continued, adding, “I’ve been building and managing franchise systems for over 30 years, and predominantly small box retail space, 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.”

Multi-unit franchisee opens up about what she loves about life in a chiropractic franchise 

Stacie Shakarian is a co-franchisee with six clinics in Arizona and California with her husband Aaron, who is also a Doctor of Chiropractic. Stacie decided to pursue a career with The Joint Chiropractic after many years in corporate America. She is deeply passionate about her new role as a chiropractic franchise owner because of how many people she gets to help as one of the most successful franchise owners in the system.

But the Shakarians are always looking to grow, planning to open three more clinics this year and in the process of purchasing four licenses in their home state of Michigan.

In this conversation, Stacie talks about how she got involved in The Joint Chiropractic franchise, what she loves about her businesses, and why investing in The Joint is the best decision she and her husband have made on a professional level.

Where were you working before The Joint?

Stacie Shakarian: “I was working for General Motors, and I did not envision myself leaving. I’m from Michigan and I enjoyed the job. And that’s where a lot of my friends worked. But The Joint was too good of an opportunity to pass up.”

How did you find The Joint?

Stacie: “General Motors moved me to Arizona, which is the corporate headquarters of The Joint. My husband is a chiropractor and he was recruited by The Joint. And he went to work for The Joint’s corporate office and was so excited with the business model because he felt it was very relevant for the times.”

Why is that?

Stacie: “Slowly over the years, health insurances weren’t covering chiropractic. If someone were in a car accident, you would sometimes be waiting two years to receive a check from the insurance company. So, it became more and more difficult to be a chiropractor. But The Joint is a membership, cash-based business model perfect for the times right now we’re in.”

How is The Joint different from traditional chiropractic franchise clinics?

Stacie: “Traditional chiropractic clinics are not walk-in. And they’re not usually open extended hours from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. And most are not open seven days a week. So, The Joint has really capitalized on the needs of people nowadays. Most people do not have time to schedule an appointment. And the fact that it’s open seven days a week; we’re very busy on Sundays.”

Where are your clinics located?

Stacie: “We have three in Arizona and three in Ventura County, California. Our clinics are in very popular retail centers that are usually featured on the news. We always like to make it to where a family can be out shopping and then stop in The Joint and then continue on with their day.”

And how has business been?

Stacie: “Financially, we’re making more money than I ever thought that we would make in our careers. It’s been exciting, that’s why we keep expanding, because patients want to come to every clinic we open. It just grows very quickly because people see the value in it. But it’s also been very exciting for us to be able to provide for our families.”

What are your long-term goals?

Stacie: “My hopes are to just keep growing and to keep identifying the needs of our patients. And we’re in the process of purchasing four franchises in Michigan. It’s exciting to be able to bring The Joint back to the Detroit area.”

Would you recommend The Joint Chiropractic franchise to aspiring entrepreneurs?

Stacie: “I don’t think there is a better opportunity out there. Not only can you feel good about what you’re doing, you can also feel that you’re able to provide a lifestyle for your family and one that you can be proud of.”

Fast-growing chiropractic franchise releases Franchise Disclosure Document which details strong sales growth 

According to the most recent Franchise Disclosure Document, The Joint Chiropractic franchises are performing extremely well, despite the economic challenges brought on in the past year by the COVID-19 pandemic. According to Eric Simon, Vice President of Franchise Sales and Development for The Joint Chiropractic franchise, after the pandemic hit in March 2020, the company pulled its Item 19 financial performance representations.

“The state regulators were like, for obvious reasons, you can’t represent numbers based on 2019 when the whole world has changed—the whole model could’ve changed,” Simon said.

Just two months after the onset of the pandemic, The Joint Chiropractic rebounded. Deemed an essential business providing licensed chiropractic care in most areas of the country, the company’s clinics largely stayed open during shutdowns. In June 2020, The Joint Chiropractic released a preliminary Item 19 that showed it could weather the pandemic and thrive during a time of financial uncertainty.

“We were able to make our Item 19strong because we had huge support on every level of franchising, from the entire corporate office to our Regional Developers to our franchisees,” Simon said. “We had to make changes to our processes and protocols, our sanitization process was enhanced, and our marketing team made sure patients felt comfortable coming into the clinic.”

Despite all the financial struggles and hardships across many industries, the Joint Chiropractic franchises showed growth in topline revenues. In fact, the franchise provided more detail than necessary, which other companies avoided, because the numbers were so strong. 

*The Joint Chiropratic’s Item 19 for 2020 shows the top quartile in 2020 at $777,608 and the bottom quartiles averaging about $255,500. Out of the 448 clinics that reported sales, nearly 45% hit or exceeded the overall average of $488,771.

 *Compare that to 2019, where top quartile sales averaged about $759,800 and bottom quartiles averaged around $263,800.

“What essentially jumps out at me are gross sales and topline sales,” Simon said. “If you can put that comparison in there, and in our case, it was a little higher than in 2019, fantastic, you don’t need to put 2019 and 2020 P&L info in there.”

 Simon also highlighted that in the first 12 months of 2020, for cohorts of new clinics, ramp-up was considerably higher than in previous years, reflected in Item 19 along with gross sales ramp-up information for the initial 12 months of operation for all franchised clinics opened from 2017 to 2020.

 “The changes we made during COVID are going to stay because they worked really well,” he added.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

How chiropractic care helps the NFL star on the field

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

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

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

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

Fast-growing chiropractic franchise earns our highest-ever position on Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 list for 2021

The Joint Chiropractic is off to a great start for the year, as Entrepreneur Magazine named the popular franchise as the #1 brand in our category, and awarded us our highest-ever position on the most prestigious list in franchising, “The Franchise 500.”

Coming in at No. 58, The Joint’s notable ranking is a testament to the resiliency of our business model in the wake of COVID-19, our continued record-breaking expansion across the country, our rapidly growing brand recognition, our strong culture of support, and our tremendous unit-level economics.

The Joint’s unique business model

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

As a business opportunity, The Joint is as straightforward as it gets. With a low footprint, low overhead, and a limited number of employees to get started, The Joint is the rare essential business that is recession-resistant and offers the potential for strong unit-level economics.

“We’re honored to be named No. 1 in our category,” says Peter D. Holt, President and CEO of The Joint. “We’ve proven how resilient our brand is as well as how vital our services are to the communities who rely on us. By being named an essential business, we’re able to operate no matter what happens to the rest of the economy and our owners are able to focus on delivering a service that their patients desperately need. We look forward to continued growth in 2021 and beyond.”

The fast-growing healthcare franchise celebrates another banner year

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

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

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

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

The Joint Chiropractic franchise opens new clinics at a rapid pace

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Minter’s personal chiropractic care journey

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

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

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

The Joint, 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. Authorized chiropractic corporations in Kentucky will open and operate all clinics 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. 

Why The Joint Chiropractic franchise is a best-bet investment

“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 credits 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.”
