Overview

Chiropractic Practices covers chiropractic physicians, management organizations, and integrated health centers providing spinal manipulation, musculoskeletal care, and complementary therapies. It is a large, fragmented, and largely cash-pay (with some insurance) category at the boundary of healthcare and wellness.

Demand is supported by interest in conservative and non-pharmacological musculoskeletal care, and franchise and membership models (The Joint Chiropractic) plus PE-backed groups consolidate a highly fragmented base of independent practices.
