Feeling a little out of sorts but too busy to do anything about it?
What if you could get a chiropractic adjustment in about the same amount of time it takes to get a cappucino?
That’s the aim of The Joint Chiropractic, and there’s one coming soon to the bustling Range Line Crossing Shopping Center in midtown Carmel.
The Joint is a new and rapidly growing franchise concept, created by John Leonesio, the former CEO of Massage Envy, which is a no-appointment-needed, quick-service massage chain. The 1300-square-foot facility is slated to open at the end of March on the south end of the plaza, next to Foot Finesse.
The Carmel location of The Joint will be owned and operated by Bree Emsweller of Brownsburg, along with two partners. Emsweller currently owns two Massage Envy franchises – one in Avon and another in Plainfield.
“We are excited about the Carmel location,” Emsweller said. “It’s such a vibrant and health-conscious community. And I really like that Earth Fare, which is all about healthy living, is the anchor of the plaza.”
According to Emsweller, they are still working on securing permits and contractors, and have not yet hired the chiropractic staff, but they are hoping to eventually be open seven days a week.
“The Joint caters to today’s busy lifestyle,” she said. “Some locations have opened near a Starbucks and claim that you can order your coffee, come and get an adjustment and then go back and pick up your coffee and be on your way.”
She estimates that the average visit will take ten minutes, and the cost is fixed at $19.
According to company representative Barbara Carrera Holland, The Joint currently has 442 locations opened or near opening in 28 states. Seven are in Indiana, including the recently opened location at Hamilton Town Center in Noblesville.
