The Joint Corp. (NASDAQ: JYNT), the nation's largest provider of chiropractic care through The Joint Chiropractic network, and Atlanta United recently signed an agreement naming The Joint as the Official Chiropractic Partner of Atlanta United. This is The Joint Chiropractic's first major league sports partnership.

"We are honored to be named the Official Chiropractic Partner for Atlanta United, a club that has set multiple league records since its founding," said Peter D. Holt, President and CEO of The Joint Corp. "This agreement allows The Joint to continue to champion the efficacy of chiropractic and partner with Atlanta United in supporting the fans and community in Atlanta."

According to the American Chiropractic Association, chiropractic care has gained wide use among many sports teams across the country for giving athletes a competitive edge. In fact, 77 percent of athletic trainers have referred players to a chiropractor and 100 percent of trainers report that some players seek chiropractic services on their own, without a referral¹.

"We are excited to partner with The Joint Chiropractic, the nation's largest provider in chiropractic care with 46 locations in the Atlanta area," said Georgia O'Donoghue, Atlanta United's Vice President of Business Operations. "The Joint's reputation for improving quality of life by providing patients convenient and affordable care made them a natural fit to become the Official Chiropractic Partner of Atlanta United."
