Description

Specialties

The Joint… the chiropractic place specializes in quality chiropractic care, convenience and affordability. The Joint does straight, full-​spine manual adjustments.

History

Established in 1999.

The Joint is a rapidly growing franchise whose story first began in 1999. Back then The Joint set out to promote and deliver the health benefits of routine chiropractic care because at the time, a rapidly changing chiropractic industry left providers searching for an alternate means to meeting the needs of patients in an otherwise conventional healthcare structure. On a mission to meet the needs of both patient and chiropractor, The Joint set out to transform the traditional and often misunderstood practice of chiropractic care into a strong, simple and valuable business.

This places was great the first few times, then doc with the beard severely screwed up my neck. I’ve been having terrible headaches for weeks while I save up the money to go see a real chiropractor that can undo all of the damage these guys did.

I was in a bit of an urgent situation with a jacked up lower back. I am driving across country and desperately needed an adjustment but they turned me down because they said they don’t take first time patients after 6:30 pm because they close at 7pm. I arrived at 6:35pm and even though I was desperate and told them so they sent me away. Even the Dr. Said «no and you can tell him I said so». You would think a Dr. Of all people would be the one to offer help in this kind of situation. Getting in my car to drive another 10 hours with a bad lower back. If I could I would have given ZERO stars.

I went to this place after an ankle injury on a weekend. I called this place since they were the only ones open on weekends. What a horrible experience! The ankle was bruised and swollen so I had a temporary self adhering bandage that was tied around my ankle to ease the swelling. The doctor did not even bother to remove the bandage to take a look at the swelling or the injury. He said he could feel it through the bandage and said that there was nothing to worry and even if there was a fracture it would be visible after a week. All that he did was adjusted my neck and spine (although i had no issues with my neck/​spine). He wanted me to get a membership package (prepaid). Don’t spend money on this place. It is not worth the time or money.

Disclaimer: this was my first visit ever to any chiropractor.
I was experiencing some pain for the second time this month and I decided my body was trying to tell me to take care of it. I found The Joint online and hey had a special deal for first time clients, so I jumped on it, especially because I didn’t have to make an appointment.
After listening to my concerns and hearing every bone in my body pop the chiropractor explained to me the problem, I feel much better already! He was very attentive and listened to every little detail to make the proper diagnosis.
My only complaint is the building’s setup, the back is a room of about 8 beds and while he was with me another client was sitting in the room. I would have preferred more privacy. Minus one star for that, but everything else was smooth!

I have been seeing chiropractors for over 20 years (and The Joint for nearly 5 years) so my back is used to being adjusted and generally adjusts easily. I have not had many problems with Boulder’s Joint until the last 6 months. I have noticed that the docs are all new and some aren’t very good. I am getting ready to go back to get a re-​fix (the 2nd time in less than 3 months) Right now the only competent Doc is Jim. If i can’t get him i won’t go.
My other criticisms are: lack of attention to customer service and quality (ie docs don’t introduce themselves and there is no formal way for customers to evaluate the docs.
The Joint is Fast Food Chiropractics… i wouldn’t recommend it for someone who has never been to a Chiro before. And i wouldn’t recommend it now unless you see Jim. The quality of the other providers is not consistent and sometimes absent.

Dr Sean Padgett is the most professional and caring Dr. I have ever known. He respectfully adjusts you in your comfort zone and assists you in making the right decisions for your life. He was my Dr in Florida and helped me come to terms with my injuries and helped me make the right choices for care. I miss him so much but will be going to Denver for an adjustment soon.

If I could give this dump ZERO stars, I would!
First of all, there is ZERO privacy. There are eight beds in an open space.
I have never been to a chiropractor before, and I was **really nervous** and this place did absolutely NOTHING to make me feel welcome or to calm my nerves — and he knew that I was a «First-​Timer.»
After a 20 minute wait, the chiropractor with greased back hair, said to me, «So, Juliette.» and began to read what I wrote in my chart. Notice what’s missing? He never introduced himself, he just launched into his diatribe.
Further, I had a failed surgery on my left shoulder that I am recovering from, and need to have it repaired this Fall. I told him that I didn’t want him to touch my left shoulder, and he wouldn’t allow me to get a word in edgewise to tell him WHY! He just went on and on about the balance of the body and he had to determine the injury himself!
After listening to him rant for about 5 minutes I simply said «This is NOT going to work, you are NOT touching me!!» And, I walked out.
It’s a shame because I read the positive Unilocal reviews before I went there, and it took a LOT of courage for me to finally see a chiro!
Live and learn.

I would not recommend this chiropractor. I went as a new patient, and was told it would be an hour wait. When I first arrived it was empty, but as I was filling out my paperwork 5 – 6 people arrived who were bumped ahead of me. I was told by the receptionist that the chiropractor prefers to see all established patients prior to seeing any new ones. The receptionist recommended returning in one hour. Which I did, only to be told again that it would be an hour wait. Unless you have a lot of free time to sit around, don’t go to this place!

I hope they read their reviews because maybe they will listen. After reading some marginal reviews lately i still went to get adjusted for a neck pain today. I thought they have always been good to me. After walking in, t he second thing said to me was rates are going from $ 24 to $ 29 on April first. They were just $ 20a little over a year ago. Thats over 40%rate raise in 18 months. The concept is good but this office was waaaaaay better before. I was the only one there and the doc was clearly more interested in his wife and kids, who were there more than his patient. After doing the very basic of adjusting he says «Ok, yeah you had a lot of stuff moving there.» «Duh!!! that’s why I came» no extra or specific attention to the problem now i’m in bed on aspirin. Don’t worry i’ll call there tomorrow. The new young guy is clearly fresh out of school trying to buy a client base. Can’t buy clients Doc gotta earn them by helping. Heck if its gonna be $ 29 now for a so so job at best. Save a couple extra bucks and go to a conventional place were they will take the time to treat you. Just amazing how new people change the whole business. Thats what i get for trying to get a deal!

I like this place. Quick adjustments, no pressure, and it’s so affordable. I like the walk in option too.

Con: The chiropractor (Jay) spent about 7 minutes listening to my complaint and adjusting me. Not sure that’s worth $ 40. Doesn’t seem very thorough.
Pro: The adjustment was comfortable and seemed skilled. I didn’t wait at all.

I walked in as a first timer to chiropractic care and figured I’d give it a shot since my neck was killing me. After exhaustively filling out several pages of medical history, i handed the receptionist the forms, and 20 bucks for a walk in session, Within 2 minutes, a chiropractor sat me down, flipped through my records without reading a thing, and proceeded to jerk my whole back and neck around at a frightening and painful speed. The whole process with this quack medical professional took about 4 minutes and my neck felt exactly as bad as when i walked in. He recommended that I go get a message the next day, then come back to him on the day following that.
Don’t think so buddy, I think my money is better spent on preventative exercise and stretching. Don’t go here unless you like handing over money to pseudo-​science practicing, risk-​taking clowns.

I had a significant amount of discomfort in my neck and shoulders. This was probably caused by all the driving and computer work I do. Exercising wasn’t solving the problem and I didn’t have time for a full blown massage — I needed relief and I needed an efficient solution. Being in Boulder for the afternoon I pulled into The Joint. They were able to see me immediately and I was out in about 15 minutes. The adjustments were effective and solved my pain issues almost immediately. I will go back again when future adjustments are needed. They sell a few different packages which I will consider for future visits. The one thing I’m curious to find out is if you get the same doctor each time. It would be nice to have a relationship with the person. I will wait to see if that relationship develops, or if this place is strictly a ‘pop’ in ‘pop’ out.

I LOVE The Joint! I highly recommend them. Dr. Jim is fabulous. I love not having to make an appt — just walk in and you will be back out in a jiffy. I am now on the maintenance plan — 4 adjustments per month for $ 49. Love, love, love it! You should go!

This place used to be great when Jay and Jeremy were running the shop. Both of them did effective, quick adjustments that felt good. They have moved on to open other shops and hired two new guys to do the actual adjustments. One guy is OK, but not nearly as good as the owners. The second guy is young — literally just out of chiropractic school and he is awkward. On several occasions he has applied what felt like too much pressure or the wrong adjustment for both me and my husband. It got to the point where we felt wary about the adjustments and quit our membership. It’s too bad because the people are nice and it’s a great concept, (and price!) but the quality of the chiropractors has really diminished. It’s your spine — trust it to someone who knows what they are doing.

I love the way The Joint is set up, what a great business idea.
Quick and affordable Chiropractic care!
This chiropractic office is the best. whenever I feel a bit misaligned I just drop in, no appoitments, no x-​rays, no hard sell on anything, just a quick adjustment, payment and it is done. I highly recommend this place to others.
Dr Jay and Dr Jeremy are awesome.

The Joint’s business model is to make chiropractic care more convenient for you and I. I appreciate that I don’t have to call in ahead of time to schedule an appointment.
I’ve received dozens of adjustments from both Dr. J and Dr. Jeremy. I’ve never had to wait more than 10 minutes.
If you’re looking to receive great «tune ups» for chiropractic needs, then I couldn’t recommend a better place.

I fell in a ditch on highway US-​36 and the butt of the car hit the wall of the ditch. I had whiplash initially, but that went away after 2 days. After a week or two I could feel pressure on my back and I new there had to be something out of place and since the discomfort was escalating I decided on The Joint. This was my first time using one and it was great. Walked in and signed some papers, he did his thing (took 10 minutes), I paid 20 and went about my day and I haven’t felt better. There was some soreness but its different from what I was feeling before, I can definitely feel the difference especially when I bend down.

A great place to go and get an adjustment for $ 20! I’m glad they’re around and I’ve used them in a pinch when i couldn’t get to see my doctor for whatever reason. Also great because you don’t need an appointment, just walk in. Awesome!!!

This Joint is fantastic! I went there this afternoon and I still fell light and energized.
There are no gimmicks, no pressure, they don’t try to up-​sell you, and an adjustment is $ 20.
Another really nice thing about the joint is that they really listen you you. I went there with a friend. He has neck issues, I have middle back issues. We each got different adjustments and different free advice for how to help with our respective pains in the neck.
I’ll be back for sure!
