A significant number of Americans experience chronic back pain. According to the CDC, 39% of adults experienced back pain in 2019. Chiropractic care, once only found on the fringes of alternative medicine, has emerged as a prominent healthcare alternative used to address various health concerns and foster overall wellbeing.
The Joint Chiropractic, originally founded in 1999, opened a new location in the Suncrest Towne Centre in late 2023. The franchise includes more than 900 clinics throughout the United States. The Joint distinguishes itself from other practices by offering membership plans and packages that eliminate the need for insurance, making chiropractic care accessible to a broader spectrum of individuals.
An initial visit, which includes a consultation, exam and adjustment, is just $29. Wellness plans start at $89 a month for up to four visits. Alternatively, packages are available for those who can’t commit to a regular schedule. A Military Appreciation Program offers discounts to active and retired military personnel, the National Guard, veterans and their immediate families. The Joint welcomes patients of all ages and offers special pricing plans for those under 18.
Another innovation is a no-appointment policy. Prospective patients can simply walk in during open hours to be seen by a licensed chiropractor, even on evenings and weekends. The clinic is open until 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and until 5 p.m. Saturdays. The aim is to reduce the friction in getting quality chiropractic care, allowing individuals to prioritize their health without compromising their daily routines.
In the short time since opening its doors in the Suncrest Towne Centre, The Joint Chiropractic has garnered many glowing reviews that speak to its welcoming environment, convenience and quality of care received. It is poised to become a valuable community partner by making quality healthcare not only accessible but also more affordable for West Virginians seeking pain relief and ongoing wellness.
