The listed total initial investment is $216K to $476K, using the registry's listed low and high fields.

The Joint Chiropractic has an Item 19 financial-performance field in this registry, a voluntary disclosure under the FTC Franchise Rule. The reported average gross revenue per location is $700K; applying the listed royalty rate to that reported average yields $49K as a simple arithmetic illustration, not a cost or profit estimate. This reported revenue field is not a profitability measure; operating costs are outside this registry.
