The fastest-growing chiropractic franchise has a simple business model that is attracting entrepreneurs with no prior medical background

The Joint, the nation’s fastest-growing chiropractic franchise, recently celebrated 400 locations open across the country. That milestone would have been unthinkable if the business model was designed for only those with experience in owning and operating a chiropractic clinics. While it is true that chiropractors are franchising with The Joint in large numbers, their reason is the same as any other entrepreneur’s: the business model is easy to understand.

Walk into one of The Joint’s more than 400 clinics in the United States, and you will see a simple layout: one person who welcomes patients, and one or two doctors treating patients expertly and efficiently. By only performing spinal alignments conducted by hand, doctors who work for The Joint can see many more patients each day than a traditional chiropractic clinic. This is strategic as The Joint is a cash-model business that requires no appointments and no insurance. Clinics are placed in highly-visible retail settings next to supermarkets, coffee shops and restaurants, and they are open nights and weekends. The Joint is not only making chiropractic care more accessible to consumers, it also is making owning a chiropractic clinic more accessible to entrepreneurs.

An excellent example is Paul Trindel, who was a multi-unit owner of Cold Stone Creamery before becoming a multi-unit franchisee with The Joint and regional developer for clinics in North Carolina and Tennessee.

“The Joint is far simpler to open and manage than a food business,” Trindel says. “I often joke that it causes a lot less brain damage. At my ice cream businesses, I’m dealing with teenagers, who can be flaky, late and unprofessional. At The Joint, it’s completely the opposite. Your staff shares the same purpose you do, which is to help people get the care they need.”

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. As a result, The Joint can treat many more patients than a traditional chiropractic clinic by a large margin. According to the brand’s most recent Franchise Disclosure Document, The Joint reported weekly patient visits that were 152 percent higher than those to individually-owned clinics.

For Robb Quinlan, who was a professional baseball player with the Los Angeles Angels before becoming the owner of four franchise clinics with The Joint in Minneapolis, Minnesota, The Joint is a way to get into business that serves a noble purpose in the community.

“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. I recognized that The Joint is the future of the chiropractic industry,” Quinlan says. “The Joint is a great business for entrepreneurs who want to make a difference.”

Franchising highlights multi-unit owner’s success with fastest-growing chiropractic franchise in new article

It’s no secret that many professional athletes find success in business after they hang up their jerseys for the last time. The leadership skills and the sense of collaboration that is learned on the field often translates into savvy business acumen that allows former professional athletes to thrive and prosper. In a new article published by Franchising, Robb Quinlan is highlighted as an example of how a professional athlete can become successful in business.

Quinlan, who now owns four clinics with The Joint and also serves as the Regional Developer for Minnesota, was a star infielder with the Los Angeles Angels for eight years. When a major injury in 2004 occurred, the process of recovery brought him to what would become his second passion: chiropractic care.

“I tore my oblique in August of 2004,” Quinlan says in the article. “That ended my season and put my neck and spine out of alignment. When I was home during the offseason, I found a chiropractor. It helped tremendously with my rehabilitation.”

The article points out that after Quinlan retired from baseball in 2011, his belief in chiropractic care was so strong that, “when he discovered The Joint Chiropractic, he was sold.”

Quinlan is now not only a multi-unit franchisee with The Joint, he is also serving to fuel the brand’s growth in Minnesota in his role as Area Developer. Since he assumed that role, he has helped to expand The Joint in the state by a total of eight locations so far.

“People come in complaining about back pain they’ve had for years,” Quinlan says in the article. “They see what we have to offer, and in a few visits they see results.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Moody’s success in seeing more patients is the norm across the entirety of our franchise network. Our most recent Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) reveals just how much more successful The Joint is at bringing new customers into the fold of chiropractic care. Our average weekly visit count grew close to 260 in 2016, and new customer visits were up in double digits. The Joint reported weekly patient visits was 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 care is 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 is The Joint Chiropractic 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 to 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 gives entrepreneurs a meaningful business to own by emphasizing convenient and affordable chiropractic care

Those suffering from back and neck pain know how hard it is to perform simple tasks in life. Before The Joint was founded in 1999, people were forced to either suffer through their pain or take time off of work to meet a scheduled appointment at a  traditional chiropractic clinic. That typically meant a costly and inconvenient experience.

When The Joint Chiropractic entered the market, chiropractic care was finally able to secure the place in mainstream culture it deserves. By placing our clinics in busy shopping centers, next to coffee shops and supermarkets, and by doing away the need for insurance through the creation of our membership model, The Joint also did away with the need to schedule appointments. This no-hassle approach to chiropractic care allows Americans in pain the luxury of being able to seek treatment when it’s convenient for them: on their lunch break from work, on the weekends or on the commute home.

Back pain is a tremendous problem, and it’s on the rise in the U.S. Goodbody reports that 8 out of 10 Americans will experience back pain at some point in their lives, and that 54% of Americans who experience back pain have professions or lifestyles which forces them to be sedentary. The costs are likewise astonishing. The American Chiropractic Association reports that Americans spend $50 billion on treating and managing back pain every year.

“It’s very clear how large the problem is when you walk into one of our clinics and see how many people are coming through our doors,” 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 desire to help as many people as possible is at the core of our business model, and is the  reason why entrepreneurs and chiropractors alike are franchising with The Joint in large numbers every year. Even more importantly, the ease of our business model, combined with the drive to make a positive impact in communities nationwide, is encouraging our franchisees to reinvest in our brand by opening up more clinics.

“When you ask our franchisees if they would make their investment again, a large number of franchisees are answering that question by becoming multi-unit owners,” says Eric Simon, SVP of Franchise Development with The Joint. “This speaks volumes about the level of interest that Americans are showing in our business model. In order to facilitate this growth, we’ve stepped up our regional developers, adding nine across the country in key markets, in order to provide that local support in addition to the robust franchise support that our executive team provides on a daily basis to our franchisees.”

In addition to entering into a business that seeks to help people in pain, The Joint also showcases a bright picture of financial performance in our most recent Franchise Disclosure Document. 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.

“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. I recognized that The Joint is the future of the chiropractic industry.” says Robb Quinlan, owner of three franchise clinics with The Joint in Minneapolis, MN. “The Joint is a great business for entrepreneurs who want to make a difference.”

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 $211,400 to $339,900, The Joint is a low-cost investment opportunity with potential for high returns.

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

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

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

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

The Joint Chiropractic is bringing the chiropractic industry to the mainstream

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

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

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

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

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

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

With a small footprint, limited overhead and a staff consisting of three to four employees, The Joint is easy to operate and boasts a proven business model that is uncommon in the $3 trillion healthcare industry. Our membership model eliminates the need for insurance while providing our franchise owners with a recurring revenue stream that helps to maximize profitability and potentially hasten their return on investment. Our model works for chiropractors seeking to own a simpler business that avoids the nightmare of insurance billing, and it works incredibly well for business investors who see the need for more accessible chiropractic care.

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

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

Do you remember how it could be finding your chiropractor’s office? 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 the insurance, which not only frees our doctors up to concentrate on helping people but it also completely reduces the costs of care for our customers.

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 was 152% higher than individually owned clinics. The secret to our success isn’t a secret: The Joint is affordable, quick and enjoyable for customers:

“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 wellbeing.”

There are millions of people like Tom who need affordable access to 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 potential for high returns. Because our build-out costs are substantially lower than other brands in the healthcare segment, The Joint offers a quicker ramp-up time to allow for a potentially faster return on investment. The franchise fee for your first chiropractic franchise is $39,900.

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

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 Christoperson will serve as regional developer for the state of Minnesota.

Photo by Tony Webster – Downtown Saint Paul Riverfront – July 1, 2007

If the name Ryan Christoperson 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.

Eventually, Christoperson 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.”

Christoperson 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,” Christoperson 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,” Christoperson 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 is able to 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,” Christoperson 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 fastest growing 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 an 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 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, make her ideally suited to help grow The Joint franchise 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 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.
