Founded in 1999, AlignLife Chiropractic & Natural Health Center has been offering franchises since 2009 and is currently the oldest chiropractic franchise in the U.S. The brand’s self-proclaimed mission is to “help every man, woman and child to live a life of health and vitality.”
How Many AlignLife Locations Are There?
There are currently 33 AlignLife locations across 11 states in the U.S., with one in Puerto Rico.
What Is AlignLife’s Business Model?
AlignLife was founded by Dr. Joe Esposito and his sister, Dr. Cristina Esposito. Their inspiration for chiropractic and natural healthcare came from their father’s experience with the side effects of prescribed heart medication — the drug treated his heart arrhythmia but caused issues with his lungs and kidneys that eventually cost him his life. Galvanized by the loss of their father, the siblings set out to build a network of chiropractic natural health centers.
AlignLife follows a “holistic, outcome-focused model of care” that is best characterized as relational rather than transactional. It offers a range of services that include chiropractic care, weight management, functional nutrition and corporate wellness programs.
Franchise owners with AlignLife benefit from in-person and online training to provide training and assistance. Franchisees also assigned their own Development Coach to guide them through each step of the franchising process.
How Much Can AlignLife Franchise Owners Make?
AlignLife doesn’t provide information about the financial performance of its franchises. However, Sharp Sheets estimates average earnings to be around $387,000 in sales per year. This value was determined by dividing the total revenue of all the franchises by the number of franchise-owned businesses.

The initial investment for opening an AlignLife location depends on whether the franchisee is converting an existing location or opening a brand-new site.
