The Joint... The Chiropractic Place

I put my back out at 5 AM the day before Christmas. My chiropractor was out of the office until Monday. I went to the joint Saturday out of desperation. The chiropractor gently and efficiently put my back right back the way it was supposed to be! I love that they do walkins and they’re open on Saturday since my back doesn’t actually check my schedule before it freaks out! These guys are awesome!

Wow… it does seem like the staff at The Joint have all written their own reviews for this place. Several of the 5-​star reviews of this (quite terrible) chiropractic office is the 1 & only review from that person… seems kinda fishy to me.
I’ve been going to chiropractors for over a decade. I know how it works. Or rather — how it SHOULD work. Chiropractors have you stand, bend, sit, flex in ways to see what the problem is at that given time, pushing or pulling or moving joints to assess pain and mobility. I might feel a «problem» in one spot but it’s actually due to a problem in another. They know that… they are the experts.
On one particularly painful Saturday morning, I was frantic to find an open chiro and decided to give this place a shot. On the New Patient paperwork at The Joint, I noted that I have a regular chiro that I see (but my guys isn’t open on Saturdays)… so first things first, the chiro at The Joint makes a snarky, rude comment about me «not having any loyalties» to my regular guy. Cool, dude.
Then The Joint chiro asked me what adjustment I wanted him to do, rather than figuring out and assessing what my problem was for himself. He said he «didn’t want to reinvent the wheel.» I told him that this pain is unlike what my regular visits fix… but The Joint Dr just didn’t want to identify my problem, he just wanted to do the things that would get me out of the door quickest, not more efficiently. It felt very lazy.
It is not surprising that I left feeling zero percent better than when I came in to The Joint. Super disappointed and frustrated by The Joint and their laziness.

I went in to the joint because I was having shoulder pain and thought I would give it a try well I did and am now in more pain than I have ever had. My legs get numb and my lower back is so messed up from going here I can barely walk. Be careful it is cheap but for a reason.

I’ve experienced quite a bit of chiropractic care, but only came to The Joint since it was one of the few chiropractic business open on the Saturday that I needed. The cheaper price was appealing, of course. But is one of those things that I found out the hard way is «you get what you pay for». I went in with an uncomfortably sore neck. It was odd to me that there is no real evaluation previous to the adjustment, as if every body needs the same treatment done. This has never been the case with an chiropractor I have been to. There was no change in my neck after it was adjusted, so the guy tried yet again. Rather than any cracking/​popping, it was only yanked on. I have since been in incredible pain throughout my neck, head, and upper back, and am nearly immobile. I am surprised at the rate of stars for this business, but I’d also be a bit weary that a chunk of the reviews are from unknown «people» that have only written reviews for this place and nowhere else. I would not recommend The Joint for chiropractic care, and will never trust my health to them again.

My husband waited in the car as I walked into The Joint and walked out 10 minutes later. «Wait!» he exclaimed, «That’s it?! Are you done or did you just sign in?» After years of waiting for me in chiro offices the shock of how quickly you can get in and out of The Joint has still not worn off. «You mean you can just go in and get adjusted and they don’t talk to you for hours about supplements and treatment plans and God and subluxations and X-​rays???» he asks me every. single. time. I. leave. The Joint. Yes! The answer is: you CAN just go in and scan your membership card, get adjusted and leave in MINUTES! There are no pitches, no x-​rays, no supplements! But there is a downside to this and that’s why there are four stars on my review and not five. This is the fast food of chiropractic. They get you in and they get you out. There is no special treatment, no discussion about what’s ailing you, and no traditional bedside manner. They are nice but I don’t know anybody by name in there and I signed up for the month-​to-​month program that gets you four adjustments a month for the low-​low price of 49.99. If you want a quick adjustment in a relatively convenient location then this is the place for you. If you want the «Cheers» of chiropractic where everyone is going to call you by name and you are going to stay for more than 10 minutes to get vitamin B injections, hot stone massages, e-​stim, jade roller treatments and chakra tunings, this is not the place for you. I appreciate the quick in and out when all I need is a basic adjustment but I don’t feel like I can say, «Hey, you missed a spot. Can you adjust me again?» or «Can you adjust my wrist, knee and ribs and hit me with that machine that looks like you should be buffing a car instead of working out the kinks in my muscles?» because A. That’s what my regular, long-​standing chiro is for, and B. they don’t HAVE any machines like that here — and if they do, I’m sure — like Massage Envy (yes, this is the Massage Envy of chiropractic) — there is an extra charge for them. Don’t get me wrong. They are super duper nice and professional — and they even have special days when they bring in chair massage therapists or give adjustments to first responders (you get some cool emails when you’re a member) — but if you want a more detailed and involved level of care you may want to look elsewhere.

I LOVE this place! If you are looking for a quick adjustment without all of the unnecessary chatter about supplements and yoga then this is the place. I was in and out in ten minutes and I felt amazing. I had all of my questions answered and felt well taken care of plus it is super affordable.

Was in town for work and I was really out of line. Called this place, walked in and got adjusted really quick. I’m a stickler for convenience and that it was!!!

You can’t beat the hours and price. Chiropractic is extremely expensive when you have chronic problems and it’s nice to be able to see a chiropractor 4 times at month for only $ 50. Staff is really nice!

I love The Joint Meridian! I really look forward to going every week! The staff are super caring and friendly and the care is great! I’m feeling SO much better than a few weeks ago when I started going! They are open such great hours and I always get seen very promptly!

Affordable chiropractic care. Great location, great staff. Highly recommend!
