SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., June 22,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Joint Corp. (NASDAQ:
JYNT), the nation's largest provider of chiropractic care through
The Joint Chiropractic® network, announces a
new collaboration with K9s For Warriors, a nonprofit
organization that pairs highly trained service dogs with military
Veterans suffering from service-connected traumas. The Joint is
sponsoring the training and pairing of a service dog for a Veteran
in need, as well as creating impactful conversations surrounding a
shared philosophy that supports a drug-free approach to
wellness.
"The Joint proudly supports our military, Veterans and their
families and we are honored to partner with K9s For Warriors and
support the important work they are doing across the country," said
Peter D. Holt, President and CEO of
The Joint Corp. "Military training, deployment and service can take
a serious toll on the body's physical and mental state and K9s For
Warriors' program mirrors The Joint's philosophy that everyone can
benefit from a natural approach to pain relief."
K9s For Warriors focuses on restoring a Veteran's independence
by allowing them to build an unwavering bond with a service dog,
many of which come from high-kill shelters, to facilitate their
collective healing and recovery. The Veterans are supported before,
during and after the program at no cost. Roughly 20 Veterans die by
suicide every day, and K9s For Warriors is determined to change
that.
"We are incredibly grateful for the support of The Joint to
further our mission to end Veteran suicide," said K9s For Warriors
CEO Carl Cricco. "K9s For Warriors
has the privilege every day to see the impact a service dog has on
a Veteran. With a battle buddy by their side, the Veteran returns
to a life of dignity and independence they didn't previously think
was possible. The Joint's generosity allows us to continue changing
Veteran lives."
The Joint Chiropractic also 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.
In addition, The Joint's military supports extends through its
agreement with the Army & Air Force Exchange Service and
provides on-installation chiropractic care to members of the
military and their families with locations open at The Joint
Chiropractic – Luke Air Force Base, The Joint Chiropractic – Fort
Cavazos, The Joint Chiropractic – MacDill Air Force Base and The
Joint Chiropractic – Fort Dix.
