The Joint

Specialties

We make regular chiropractic care an affordable and accessible part of your everyday routine. No appointments. No insurance required. Convenient locations. Extended hours that include evenings and weekends… In a warm and friendly setting. Routine activities regularly cause misalignments of the spine. These misalignments, otherwise known as subluxations or joint dysfunctions, create interference with the transmission of proper nerve communication through the spine and extremities. This can cause decreased joint motion, pain, discomfort and/​or a lessening of the body’s ability to function properly. Chiropractic focuses on conditions stemming from restricted joint motion, mainly of the spine and related nervous system, and the effects of these disorders on general health.

At The Joint our primary focus is on providing our patients with a pathway towards better health through ongoing chiropractic maintenance and preventative care. Our number one concern is the health and safety of the people we serve. Therefore, we only accept those patients determined to have the potential to benefit from our care.

Rest assured, should the need for further testing or a second opinion be warranted, you will be referred to the appropriate health care provider and/​or facility, when indicated.

History

Established in 1999.

The Joint was originally founded in 1999 by a Doctor of Chiropractic with a vision to transform the traditional, often misunderstood concept of routine chiropractic care by making it more convenient, friendly and affordable. In March 2010, The Joint was re-​founded with the acquisition of the original eight franchised clinics. Today, The Joint has grown to a nationwide network of more than 280 clinics and counting. We are the leader in delivering chiropractic care, performing more than two million spinal adjustments a year.

Our mission is to improve quality of life through routine and affordable chiropractic care delivered through a nationwide network of modern, comfortable chiropractic clinics staffed with experienced, licensed chiropractors. We are revolutionizing the way people receive healthcare – putting the relationship back where it belongs, between you and your doctor.
