The Aperta Health / Chiro Shack model is a unique solution for the right chiropractor. If you've ever wanted to eliminate overhead, ditch insurance billing, and actually take a vacation without consequences — take a moment to fully consider this.
I'm Interested — Tell Me MoreI was looking for a way to make the practice of chiropractic more enjoyable, simple, and freeing — while also being those same solutions for my patients. When I started practicing this way, I knew I would never go back to the traditional practice.
The Benefits
Because the system removes 90% of overhead, your take-home is higher than most traditional practices — without billing insurance, managing staff, or carrying a lease that keeps you up at night. See 25 patients a day and make around $140,000 per year. See 50 and make $280,000. Up to you.
Being able to block out your schedule whenever you want — without consequences — is the part most chiropractors say they needed most. By being part of the Aperta network, your patients can see another doctor at a nearby Shack while you're away. It's all managed online and they're already used to scheduling that way.
By offering the Aperta membership, your patients get significantly reduced-cost care for themselves and their whole family. They can visit any Chiro Shack location — giving them variety, convenience, and the stability of always being able to see a provider they trust. Low cost means they stay active members and keep coming back.
The Model
We almost completely removed the overhead from practice and wrapped it up in a lease so low it will hardly factor into your considerations. Everything else is paid for through the Aperta membership system itself.
The freedom comes from being part of something greater than your own business. No loans. No credit needed. Just a desire, a good fit with our mission, and the ability to adjust.
Working in the Shack is fun. Patients come in with a better attitude and different expectations. It isn't for everyone — you won't do decompression here, and you won't bill insurance. But there is plenty of room to put your own personality and skills into your practice.
The membership is what makes you free. By offering it, we reduce overhead without franchise fees, subscriptions, or marketing expenses. And you earn a portion of every membership you generate.
The goal is long-term patient relationships through a "no brainer," contract-free membership. Because it's low cost, it serves as a built-in reminder — their account is charged and they think of their health. They come back in.
Patients on the membership can visit any Chiro Shack location. That means when your Shack is closed, they don't need to reach you — they just book at another location. Your schedule freedom is fully protected.
Common Questions
No. The lease starts at $500/month and literally includes everything you need to practice — except collecting your visit fees and carrying your malpractice insurance. No loans, no equipment purchases, no franchise buy-in.
No, and that's a feature — not a limitation. The Chiro Shack model is cash-pay and membership-based. This eliminates the largest administrative burden in most practices and keeps your overhead near zero.
The Shack itself, the Aperta Health membership platform, scheduling software, patient communications, and the brand infrastructure. You show up and adjust. Everything else is handled.
The Shack is sized for high-volume adjusting. Decompression tables and large equipment won't fit the model. But there's plenty of room to bring your own clinical style, tools, and personality into the space.
Month-to-month. No long-term obligations. Our unique membership program means you're never locked in — you can change direction any time you like with no penalties.
