What Scriphessco does

Scriphessco is a Bolingbrook, Illinois-based B2B and B2C e-commerce distributor of chiropractic equipment, supplies, and consumables, operating as a division of holding company Scrip, Inc. Founded in 1983, the company has served healthcare practitioners for over 40 years, offering more than 10,000 SKUs across chiropractic tables, electrotherapy devices, analgesics, hot/cold therapy, massage supplies, orthopedic supports, X-ray equipment, and PPE. The customer base is segmented by vertical, with chiropractors as the primary audience and massage therapists, physical therapists, multi-disciplinary practices, and spa/wellness operators as secondary segments. The platform supports account creation with professional license verification, product comparison, customer reviews, and phone-based enterprise support.

The product mix combines third-party national brands (Biofreeze, Tiger Balm, Activator, Oakworks, EarthLite, aulief) with two proprietary lines — PracticePro™ chiropractic tables (ELV I and ELV I Plus) developed from clinician feedback, and ScripHessco NEXT-GEN consumables including reusable hot/cold packs and a HydroCloud water pillow. A refurbished equipment program offers certified pre-owned tables at up to 60% savings with a 1-year warranty and financing options. The underlying technology is a standard e-commerce stack (catalog, accounts, Autoship scheduling, inventory management) with no disclosed AI/ML capabilities or proprietary algorithms.

The business model blends four revenue streams: higher-ticket one-time equipment sales (tables, electrotherapy), transactional consumable sales with repeat-purchase patterns (analgesics, table paper, electrodes), recurring Autoship subscription revenue on consumables, and refurbished equipment sales. Distribution is primarily direct-to-practitioner via the website and phone orders, with flat-rate ground shipping across the contiguous 48 United States and LTL freight for orders over 499 lbs. Geographic footprint is domestic-only, with no active international expansion by Scriphessco itself despite some distributed brands having global reach.

Broad incumbents

A broad incumbent competitor whose medical distribution footprint overlaps with Scriphessco's hospital and clinic supply business.

Overlaps with Scriphessco's electrotherapy product category as both a brand partner and potential competitor via direct sales to PT and chiropractic practices.
