Why Choose The Joint Chiropractic vs Other Chiropractic Clinics

The Joint Chiropractic was originally founded in Tucson, AZ in 1999, by a doctor of chiropractic whose vision was 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 Chiropractic has grown to a nationwide network of more than 950+ chiropractic offices and counting. We are the leader in delivering chiropractic care, serving more than 12.5 million patients a year.

When you compare The Joint Chiropractic with other options like NuSpine, ChiroOne, 100% Chiropractic, or independent offices, a few things stand out. We focus on making chiropractic care simple to access and easy to afford, not just on the first visit but over time. You can choose from Wellness Plans, packages, or single visits, with straightforward pricing that makes it easier to plan for care without worrying about copays, deductibles, or visit limits. We do not bill insurance, and many patients use HSA or FSA funds instead.

Convenience is another key difference. You can walk in for care without an appointment, clinics are open evenings and Saturdays, and many are open on Sundays as well. That makes it easier to fit visits into a busy schedule.

You also get the benefit of a large national network with a local feel. Skilled, licensed chiropractors tailor care to your needs, and your treatment recommendations are available across the network, so it is easier to stay consistent whether you are close to home, at work, or on the road.

Chiropractors are licensed health care professionals who complete extensive education and training focused on the spine, joints, and nervous system. Before chiropractic school, they typically complete at least three years of undergraduate coursework in areas like biology, chemistry, physics, and psychology. From there, they attend an accredited chiropractic college, where they complete several years of classroom study, hands on lab work, and supervised clinical experience. Their training includes diagnosing and managing musculoskeletal conditions, learning spinal and joint adjustment techniques, and understanding how the spine relates to overall function and movement.

To practice, chiropractors must pass national board examinations and meet state licensing requirements. At The Joint Chiropractic, our doctors are licensed in the states where they practice and are trained to deliver safe, effective chiropractic care that’s tailored to your needs.

Most chiropractic patients don’t need X-rays before starting care. At The Joint Chiropractic, your doctor begins with a thorough health history and physical exam, which may include orthopedic and neurological tests, posture checks, and range of motion assessments. This hands-on evaluation usually provides enough information to recommend a safe, appropriate treatment plan.

If your chiropractor finds something in your history or exam that suggests you might need imaging or other diagnostic tests, they’ll talk with you about it and refer you to an appropriate provider or facility. In other words, we don’t order X-rays as a routine step, but we do recommend them when they’re clinically necessary to help guide your care and keep you safe.

If you’re new to The Joint Chiropractic, our $29* New Patient Special is a simple way to see if we are the right fit. Your first visit includes a consultation, exam, and adjustment if warranted, performed by a licensed doctor of chiropractic. You can claim the offer online at thejoint.com or by walking into your nearest clinic.

The $29* New Patient Special includes a consultation, examination, and an adjustment if warranted. Your chiropractor will review your health history, perform an appropriate evaluation, and recommend care based on your needs.

There’s no catch and no requirement to buy a membership. The $29* New Patient Special is designed to give you a low cost way to experience care and decide what works for you. After your initial visit, your chiropractor can review ongoing options such as single visits, packages, or Wellness Plans, and you can choose what best fits your recommended treatment plan and budget.

The New Patient Special is reserved for first time patients at The Joint Chiropractic. If you have visited before, you can still take advantage of our affordable everyday options, including single visit pricing and Wellness Plans that offer up to four adjustments per month at a reduced per visit rate.

After your initial visit, a single walk in session is typically $55. If you plan to visit regularly, Wellness Plans usually offer the best value. For a monthly fee, you may visit up to four times, which often works out to a lower cost per session than many insurance copays at just $18-$25** per visit. Wellness Plans are a good fit if you want consistent care and expect to come in more than twice a month.

If you prefer more flexibility, Packages may be a better option. Packages are ideal for people who visit less often, want to prepay for a set number of visits, and like the freedom to use those visits on their own schedule. In most areas, package visits are valid for up to one year, with no long term contract.

Pricing can vary by clinic. Find your preferred The Joint Chiropractic clinic to see the plans and options available near you.

Most of our clinics accept appointments for your first visit only if you claim the $29** New Patient Special on our website. After that, all visits are walk-in only, so you can come by whenever it’s convenient for you. To find your clinic’s hours and plan your visit, visit thejoint.com/locations.

Walk-ins welcome means that you don't need an appointment to receive care. Our innovative approach to chiropractic care means same day care is possible when you need it. Find your nearest location and just head on in. The team there will take care of everything else.

We accept cash and credit cards, as well as HSA/FSA cards for your convenience.

Yes. The Joint Chiropractic offers military savings to help keep routine care within reach for service members and veterans. With our insurance free pricing, you can choose from single visits, packages, or Wellness Plans, and eligible patients can receive additional savings with a valid military or veteran ID card. These options are designed to support ongoing care for you and your family.

Chiropractic care may help with many types of pain and tension that often come with military life, such as lower back strain from gear or posture, neck pain and upper back discomfort from body armor or long hours on duty, shoulder tightness from repetitive tasks, hip or knee pain from rucking or running, and tension headaches related to helmets or stress. Our chiropractors understand service related strain and tailor care around your duties, goals, and daily activities, with routine adjustments that may support comfort, mobility, and long term wellness.

Many service members and veterans receive excellent care through the VA, including chiropractic, and we fully support that relationship. The Joint Chiropractic can complement your VA care by offering walk in visits between appointments or while you wait to be seen. With evening and weekend hours, no referrals, and no insurance required, you have another option for support when pain or stiffness flares up between VA visits.

Open bays are treatment areas that don’t have full, closed doors and walls like traditional exam rooms. You’ll see multiple adjusting tables in a shared space, which helps keep visits efficient, friendly, and accessible so you can get in and out more easily.

Open bays are part of how we keep care convenient and affordable. This setup lets chiropractors move efficiently between patients, reduces wait times, and helps keep the overall cost of care lower. Many patients also appreciate the relaxed, community feel of the space.

Yes. Even in an open bay, your privacy is a priority. Before any consultation, exam, or adjustment, we make sure you understand how the space is set up and what to expect. Chiropractors are trained to speak discreetly and focus on only the information that’s needed for your care in that moment.

If you’d like to discuss personal health concerns in a more private setting, just let the team know. When possible, we’ll do our best to accommodate you with a more private space to talk through your questions or health history.

We completely understand that open bays aren’t the right fit for everyone. If you still feel uncomfortable after we’ve explained the setup and explored options for more privacy, talk with your chiropractor. In some cases, a referral to a chiropractic office that uses fully private rooms may be the best option for you.

Our goal is simple: to make sure you’re comfortable, well informed, and confident about your care. Open bays help us keep visits efficient and accessible, and we’ll always do our best to balance that with your need for privacy and comfort.
