SPONSORED CONTENT BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT SPONSORED CONTENT Affordable Adjustments for People on the Go I f you’re a fan of the anytime, anywhere convenience of Massage Envy, then you’ll absolutely love The Joint Chiropractic, a chiropractic care franchise started by the Massage Envy founder. David Duffy, who opened the first Joint Chiropractic in Pennsylvania this spring in McCandless Crossing, said that the customer response to the concept has been phenomenal so far and that people really appreciate chiropractic convenience. “It’s basically bringing affordable chiropractic care to the masses,” Duffy said. “Anyone can come in and get an adjustment, but where they really gain value is if they sign up for a membership and come in on a regular basis. For $69, you can come in four times a month, it equates to less than $18 per adjustment. We’re open on evenings and weekends and people never need an appointment.” The Joint Chiropractic gives members a membership card to swipe whenever they come in for adjustments. There is a brief medical questionnaire to be filled out upon the first visit. After that information is on file, members can come and go as they please. “A lot of traditional chiropractors want to put you on a six-month plan after you’ve had a major trauma, like a car accident,” Duffy said. “And then they try to throw as many treatments at you that they can, which can create a bill of thousands of dollars. Plus, a lot of those treatments are beneficial, but they’re not beneficial for everyone, so people become disenfranchised, or go to physical therapists, or simply turn to pain relievers and hope for the best.” At The Joint Chiropractic, the emphasis is on prevention, so if the model sounds more like a gym membership than a doctor’s regimen, that’s why. 32 724.942.0940 TO ADVERTISE | Hampton “We’re trying to get people to look at chiropractic care differently,” Duffy said. “If you include chiropractic care as part of your health and wellness routine, you can help prevent pain and the onset of certain arthritic conditions. Here, we’re more approachable, more feasible and more convenient, allowing and promoting people to use chiropractic care on a consistent, affordable basis.” That approach is catching on, as The Joint Chiropractic is the preferred chiropractor for the Hampton High School football team and the Hampton girls gymnastics and basketball teams. While The Joint Chiropractic doesn’t accept health insurance plans, adjustments cost less than most people’s co-pays and it does accept cash, credit cards and health and flex savings accounts. There are currently two chiropractors on staff, and the business is open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday. On Saturdays, it’s open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Duffy expects those hours will grow as more people become aware of the fact that The Joint Chiropractic is an option for them.
