NFL Chiropractor Hall of Fame/ Atlanta Dream Team Chiro/ Former Falcons · 13 NFL Seasons/ 23 Years In Practice

Own the sports
market in your city.

Two markets. One Playbook. Youth athletes year-round. Adult pickleball, runners, weekend warriors. Most chiros target neither.

60 million kids playing organized sports. 36 million adults playing pickleball. Almost no chiropractor in your city is built for either group. Built by a chiropractor who’s in the NFL Chiropractor Hall of Fame and has run a thriving youth sports practice for 23 years on referrals alone.

Two markets

The two biggest
opportunities in chiropractic. Both ignored.

Most chiros pick adults with back pain. The growing markets are next door, unclaimed.

Market 1 · Year-round

Youth athletes.

Travel ball, club soccer, AAU basketball, cheer, gymnastics. Kids playing single sports year-round, getting hurt at adult-level rates. Parents looking for someone who knows the cases.

60M

Kids playing

3.5M

Injured/year

$28B

Travel ball econ.

Why it matters

A travel-ball mom is three patients today (her three kids), a referral pipeline tomorrow (her team), and a husband-with-a-back next year. Highest LTV in chiropractic.

Market 2 · Booming now

Adult athletes.

Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in America. Tennis, running, golf, CrossFit. Adults treating themselves like athletes well into their 60s, getting hurt, finding nobody who treats them like one.

36M

Pickleball players

50M

Adult runners

$35B

Adult sports econ.

Why it matters

Higher cash-pay tolerance, no insurance friction, weekly visits during their season. Adult athletes pay for performance, not pain reduction.

The combined market

96 million people.
Less than 5% of chiros built for them.

You have a chiropractic practice and a 30-mile radius. There are tens of thousands of athletes inside that radius right now, googling, asking around, and finding nobody. The Playbook makes you the obvious answer.

The gap exists because building a sports practice takes years. The Playbook compresses those years into 90 days.

The founder story

NFL Hall of Fame chiropractor.
Built his youth sports practice on referrals.

Joe spent 13 NFL seasons as the team chiropractor for the Atlanta Falcons. The Pro Football Chiropractic Society inducted him into their Hall of Fame for sustained contribution to NFL athlete care. He’s currently the team chiropractor for the Atlanta Dream of the WNBA.

But here’s the part most chiros miss: Joe’s thriving youth sports practice in Buford, Georgia was built almost entirely on referrals. Not Google ads. Not paid social. Not lead-gen agencies. Word of mouth from one travel ball mom to the next, one athletic trainer to a competing high school, one orthopedist saying "see Joe first."

23 years in. Best of Gwinnett every year since 2012. The kind of practice every chiro says they want and almost none build, because the playbook for building it doesn’t exist in any textbook.

Until now. The Playbook is that system, written down, packaged, and built to drop into your practice in 90 days.

How Joe built it

A referral engine. Not an ad spend.

Five sources, one system. Most chiros work zero of these. Joe works all five every week.

/01

Athletic trainers

HS and travel-ball ATs send the ambiguous cases. Joe sends them weekly check-ins, post-eval notes, and game-day coverage offers. They send back patients all season.

/02

Travel ball moms

One mom with three kids becomes a team. One team becomes a league. One league becomes the dominant referral channel in your zip code. Joe’s practice is 40% travel ball moms.

/03

Coaches

HS football coaches, baseball coaches, AAU directors. They have direct lines to parents. Joe gets in by offering free injury-screen events. Every event books 6 to 12 new patients.

/04

Orthopedists & team docs

When the surgeon says "you don’t need surgery, see a sports chiro," they need a name. Joe is that name in his market. The Playbook teaches you to be that name in yours.

/05

Pickleball facilities

The new market. Local courts have hundreds of injured players and zero medical relationships. The first chiro to walk in and offer a free clinic owns that pipeline forever.

The flex

Joe’s never paid for a Google Ad.

23 years of practice. Best of Gwinnett 14 years running. 60% athlete patient mix. NFL Hall of Fame. Built on relationships, repetition, and a referral system that compounds. The Playbook is that exact system.

The methodology you’re licensing

The four-pillar program.
Pick your sport. Run it.

Same four pillars whether your market is youth football, runners, CrossFit athletes, golfers, tennis players, or pickleball. The framework is sport-agnostic. The implementation gets tuned to whatever your city actually plays.

/01 Pillar

Assessment

A 60-minute movement screen tuned to whichever sport your market plays. The screening protocol and scoring rubric ship with the Playbook. The clinical product that opens the door and makes patients return for an annual update.

/02 Pillar

Treatment

The decision tree, not a list of services. Active Release, Graston, manipulation, ARP wave, laser, decompression. When to use which, on which case. Joe’s actual clinic menu, with the logic for choosing.

/03 Pillar

Prevention

The home-protocol set patients run between visits. Strength, mobility, sport-specific loading. The retention layer that turns episodic injury cases into multi-year patient relationships and recurring revenue.

/04 Pillar

Return-to-play

Tested, not guessed. The criteria sheet for discharging a player back to their full playing volume without re-injury. Most clinics don’t have this. With it, you become the regional referral.

Sport-agnostic, market-specific

Run yours

Joe runs the pickleball version in his city.
You run yours.

At Georgia Spine and Sports Rehab in Buford, Joe runs the four-pillar program against pickleball, the fastest-growing sport in his market. The Playbook ships the same four pillars to you. You pick the sport your city actually plays. Could be youth football. Runners. Adult soccer. Golf. CrossFit. Tennis. Pickleball if it fits. The system doesn’t care which sport you point it at. The economics work the same way.

FAQ

Real questions. Real answers.

The Playbook covers both, but you choose where to lean. Most practices end up 60% youth, 40% adult by month 12. If your local market is heavier one way (a town packed with travel ball orgs vs. a community of pickleball players), Joe coaches you to lean into your strongest channel. The site, social, and outreach all flex either direction.

Three reasons. One: youth athletes drive family LTV. A travel-ball mom with three kids is three cases now and three referrals next year. Two: there’s almost no competition. Most chiros target adults with back pain. Youth sports parents are looking and finding nobody. Three: kids play year-round now. The cases never seasonally slow down.

Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in America. 36M adult players, 8x injury growth from 2020 to 2024. The injuries (rotator cuff, plantar fasciitis, lateral epicondylitis, lower back) are exactly what chiropractors treat. Players are mostly cash-pay and over 40, with both time and disposable income. Bonus 02 is the playbook for partnering with a local pickleball facility.

No. He treats pro athletes through his clinic. The Playbook coaching is about building your practice. He coaches you on cases you’re seeing, on relationship-building with athletic trainers and coaches, and on practice-management decisions. Two 30-minute calls per month, recorded so you can rewatch.

We don’t take clients in that radius. Joe’s clinic is at 4325 S Lee St, Buford, GA. Anyone closer than 60 miles competes with his patient base. We’ll let you know on the application call if you’re too close.

Site is live in the first few weeks. We start the build in week one, brand kit and content review in week two, and the site goes live by week three in most cases. The rest of the 90-day onboarding is about getting social, outreach, and your athlete pipeline running on top of it.

Yes. The system is modeled on Dr. Joe’s practice site at georgiaspinesports.com. Yours will be branded to your practice, your photos, your patient examples, and your local market. Same caliber, custom contents.

Bandwidth. Two 30-minute calls per practice per month, plus the quarterly 1:1 review, plus the build work in onboarding. Joe can give a small number of practices the same quality of attention he gives his Atlanta Dream players. Once he’s at capacity, applications close. Practices that join while slots are open lock in this rate and the four bonuses; when the standard offer launches, it starts higher and without those extras.
