Who is responsible for purchasing supplies, including office, chiropractic and physical therapy supplies, for a Healthsource Chiropractic clinic?

According to Healthsource Chiropractic's 2025 Franchise Agreement, the responsibility for purchasing supplies depends on the business structure. If a franchisee enters into a management agreement with a licensed provider (PC) to operate the clinic, the Management Company is responsible for purchasing supplies.

Specifically, the Management Company Services include "purchasing supplies (including office, chiropractic and physical therapy supplies), computer and peripherals, practice management software, off-the-shelf software, general secretarial services, answering telephones and responding to emails and facsimiles, and procuring uniforms." This means the franchisee, acting as the Management Company, handles the procurement of these essential items for the clinic's operation.

This arrangement is typical in states where non-licensed individuals or entities can own a chiropractic business but must contract with licensed professionals to provide the clinical services. Therefore, prospective Healthsource Chiropractic franchisees should clarify whether they will operate under a Management Company structure and understand their responsibilities for supply procurement in that context.
