SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., July 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Joint
Corp. (NASDAQ: JYNT), the nation's largest provider of
chiropractic care through The Joint
Chiropractic® network, has reached an agreement
with the Army & Air Force Exchange Service to provide
on-installation chiropractic care to members of the military and
their families. The initial target sites include Luke Air Force
Base in Phoenix, Ariz., MacDill
Air Force base in Tampa, Fla. and
Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in Trenton, New Jersey.
The rigors of military training and deployment are taxing on the
body. Chiropractic adjustments seek to restore alignment and
improve joint movement and nerve function. The Department of
Manpower and Reserve Affairs conducted a trial to determine if
chiropractic care can ease lower back pain in troops. The results
of the trial found a five percent increase in isometric strength
and a 14 percent increase in endurance among members of the
military who received chiropractic adjustments. The trial
report notes "chiropractic care improves key fitness
characteristics among active-duty service members with lower back
pain."
"As part of this new relationship with the Exchange, we're proud
to offer even more convenience to our patients and their families
of the armed services," said Peter D.
Holt, President and CEO of The Joint Corp. "Our members of
the military put their bodies through extraordinary stresses in the
performance of their duties. The benefits of chiropractic care can
positively impact and enhance their overall wellness, as they carry
out their role in defending our nation."
The Exchange operates more than 4,900 facilities in more than 30
countries, 50 states, four U.S. territories (Guam, Puerto
Rico, Northern Mariana
Islands and American Samoa)
and the District of Columbia and
serves an eligible customer base of 33 million active-duty and
retired service members and their families.
"Having served five overseas tours, I have seen firsthand the
toll military life can put on the body. I have personally
experienced how chiropractic care helps restore movement and reduce
discomfort to the body brought on from serving in the Armed
Forces," said Major Barrett McNabb,
U.S. Army (Retired) and multi-unit owner at The Joint Chiropractic.
"I'm proud to be part of an organization working to serve this
special group through this new relationship with the Exchange in
offering convenient chiropractic services on base."
In addition to serving military members directly on base, The
Joint Chiropractic honors members of the military nationwide
through its Military Appreciation Program. The year-round program
offers active and retired military personnel, National Guard and
Veterans, as well as their immediate families, an initial visit for
only $19, which includes the
consultation, exam and adjustment. The program also reduces pricing
by $10 for a monthly wellness plan or
chiropractic care package.
Millions of Americans have found relief from pain due to the
benefits of chiropractic's natural, drug-free approach to
healthcare. Everyone, from enlisted to officer to retired, can
improve their quality of life through routine chiropractic
care.
