What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Healthsource Chiropractic's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Licensed Provider at each Healthsource Chiropractic clinic has the authority to determine the fees charged for supplies and devices provided to patients.
Specifically, the Licensed Provider has exclusive authority and control over the clinical services and the practice of chiropractic at the clinic. This includes all treatments, diagnoses, policies, and ethical determinations that are required to be decided by a licensed chiropractor. The Licensed Provider also has the discretion and authority to choose which medical equipment and devices are used in connection with providing clinical services.
However, the Licensed Provider acknowledges that they have reviewed and approved all fixtures, equipment, and devices located at the premises. If the Licensed Provider chooses to utilize other medical equipment or devices, they will do so at their own cost, expense, and risk. This ensures that while the Licensed Provider has autonomy over clinical decisions, they are also responsible for the financial implications of those decisions.
