Welcome to Wellness: Getting to Know The Joint Chiropractic In Rome
It is always a joy to shine a spotlight on the incredible businesses that keep our community thriving and moving. Today, we are so excited to introduce you to The Joint Chiropractic In Rome, a clinic dedicated to making chiropractic care accessible, convenient, and affordable for local families. By being open seven days a week with no appointments necessary for established patients, they provide walk-in care designed to help people move better, stay active, and easily fit wellness into their busy schedules.
From Denmark to the Deep South
What makes this local clinic so special is the family behind it. The co-owner Dorit Kjaergaard and her husband, Dan, grew up in Denmark and moved to Georgia with their two children in 2013. They had the unique opportunity to work abroad for several years, giving them a firsthand look at different cultures and healthcare systems. However, it wasn’t until they moved to the United States that their family was introduced to chiropractic care.
For Dorit, this discovery was deeply personal. After suffering an injury that left her in persistent pain, she visited multiple specialists who couldn’t seem to find an answer or a way to help. Finding chiropractic care made a truly life-changing difference for her, and as a result, her entire family began receiving regular care. Opening a clinic became a natural fit for her, allowing her to combine her love of working closely with a team, connecting with people, and making a positive difference. For her, it is about creating an experience and building genuine relationships with the people they serve rather than just providing a standard service.
Why They Chose Rome For The Join Chiropractic
After successfully opening their first location in Cartersville, the couple discovered Rome and immediately fell in love with our unique city. They noted that the vibe here feels distinctly different from other small cities. The people are genuinely outgoing, friendly, and welcoming – always willing to stop for a conversation, help out, and make you feel like part of the community. Knowing they wanted to be here, they found the right space and officially opened their Rome clinic in December 2022.
When reflecting on the journey of opening this location, Dorit says her best advice to her past self would simply be not to stress, because having a great team behind you makes everything work out. She also emphasized that Rome is a fantastic, supportive market for business with wonderful people and incredible potential.
Accessible, High-Quality Care
The Joint Chiropractic stands out by offering a welcoming, convenient environment paired with highly skilled doctors, patient education, and affordability without the need for insurance. They want patients to feel completely comfortable coming in regularly, whether they are managing discomfort, looking to improve mobility, or simply wanting to proactively care for their bodies. From the moment you walk through the doors, their goal is to ensure you feel welcomed, listened to, and cared for as they become a part of your health journey.
A fantastic perk of their model is that if you travel, you can visit any of their 950 locations nationwide, and the staff will be able to access your notes to continue your care seamlessly. Right now, they are inviting all new patients to come try them out for a $29 special, which includes a full consultation, exam, and adjustment.
Rethinking Routine Care: It’s Not Just for Pain!
One of the most challenging parts of their work is helping the public understand that you don’t have to be in pain or discomfort to get adjusted. In fact, pain is often one of the later signs your body gives you that something isn’t functioning or moving properly. The doctors at The Joint are focused on fixing the root cause rather than just chasing symptoms.
Your nervous system and body are constantly communicating, and movement is an important part of that conversation. The team likes to compare it to maintaining a car: you wouldn’t wait until the engine breaks down to get an oil change; instead, you maintain it regularly to keep it running smoothly. Regular adjustments help support your body’s mobility and overall function so you don’t have to wait for something to hurt before you start taking care of it.
The Join Chiropractic Team Behind the Adjustments
It takes a dedicated group to run such a welcoming walk-in clinic. The Rome team currently features three full-time doctors and three wellness coordinators who run the front desk throughout the week. Working hard behind the scenes are a lead doctor who supports all the clinics, an operations coordinator, a marketing assistant, and, of course, Dorit and her husband, Dan. Every person plays an important role, sharing the unified goal of providing great care and making everyone feel at home. Unsurprisingly, spending time in the clinic with this team and getting to know the patients is what the owners enjoy most about their jobs.
The Ultimate A-Ha Moment
The single biggest source of encouragement for the team is the patients and their stories. In fact, they experience “A-ha” moments every single week. While most people associate chiropractic care strictly with back pain and relief, the real value lies in the patient outcomes. Hearing someone excitedly share that they are moving better, returning to their favorite activities, or simply feeling like themselves again reminds the team exactly why they do what they do every day. Nothing beats the feeling of seeing a patient walk in one way and leave feeling like a brand-new person.
As for anyone else out there wanting to make a difference in our community, the owners offer this inspiring piece of advice: “Go for it! If you believe and plant the seeds, you will see things bloom and succeed.”
