Joint Corp (NASDAQ: JYNT) is a chiropractic services company that operates and franchises retail chiropractic clinics under The Joint brand. Revenue comes from two streams: direct patient fees at company-owned and managed clinics, and royalties and fees from franchised clinic operators. The company serves walk-in and membership patients seeking routine chiropractic care, positioning itself as an accessible, no-insurance-required alternative to traditional chiropractic practices. Headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, The Joint operates a system of company-owned clinics and franchised locations across the United States. System-wide same-store sales for FY2025 increased by $2.1 million but were flat on a percentage basis, per the 10-K filed March 13, 2026.

The business model relies on high patient volume at low per-visit cost, supported by membership-based pricing and walk-in access without requiring insurance.
