THE WELLNESS WAY
The Wellness Way is a network of chiropractic and health restoration clinics that provide wellness services through licensed chiropractors, using a proprietary business system, standards, methods, and trademarks. The franchisor offers franchises for individuals or entities to own and operate these clinics, targeting customers with complex health challenges that conventional approaches cannot solve. The business model emphasizes health restoration in a professional office setting, with competition from other chiropractic, wellness, and supplement providers.
