The Joint Corp. has signed its first franchise agreement outside the continental United States. Dr. Jason Comerford, D.C., and Major Jeanette Comerford will open two The Joint clinics in the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico, and are targeting the areas of South San Juan and Guaynabo.

The first location is slated to open in Fall 2023. The Comerfords chose to franchise with The Joint after owning several private chiropractic and health care practices in South Florida. The husband and wife team are scheduled to open their first The Joint location in Fort Pierce, Fla. in the spring.

In addition, timing could not be better to open The Joint in Puerto Rico, as the new chiropractic college on the island graduated its inaugural class last year. Dr. Jason has been a doctor of chiropractic for the last 14 years and currently serves as vice president of the Florida Chiropractic Board of Medicine. He recently retired from the U.S. Army after a decorated 24 years of service as a company commander.

MAJ Comerford is a native of Caguas, Puerto Rico and has received numerous military awards, including three Army commendation medals. The Joint Chiropractic is known for its convenient retail setting and concierge-style services including no-appointments, no-insurance hassles, affordable chiropractic care and accommodating hours of operations, including evenings and weekends.
