Ability Chiropractic

What Ability Chiropractic does

Ability Chiropractic is a multi-location chiropractic healthcare practice headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, founded in 2012 by Dr. Chris Mabry with its first office in Worthington. The company operates 19 clinics across three states: 13 in the Columbus, Ohio metropolitan area, 5 in the Charlotte, North Carolina metropolitan area, and 1 in Flower Mound, Texas (Dallas area). Its core service is spinal adjustment and manipulation framed around nervous system optimization and brain-body communication, supplemented by massage therapy, spinal degeneration treatment, chiropractic neurology, pediatric chiropractic care, and community wellness events such as Lunch & Learns and on-site chair massages.

The practice is staffed by 25+ doctors of chiropractic with diverse specializations, each clinic generally operating with a dedicated doctor and support staff. The underlying clinical technology is manual adjustment technique rather than proprietary hardware or software; the operational technology stack is a Squarespace-built website with online scheduling and insurance billing. Service offerings are positioned as drug-free, surgery-free alternatives for back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica, sports injuries, and broader wellness concerns including sleep, mental health, gut health, and reproductive health.

The revenue model is fee-for-service professional services with insurance billing across all locations. Same-day visits are marketed to reduce acquisition friction. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct-to-consumer, combining website scheduling, community events, healthcare provider referrals, and a sports partnership (Official Chiropractor of the Columbus Crew MLS team) to drive patient acquisition. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, operates as Ability Chiropractic LLC, and has no app, no public API, and no disclosed patents or trademarks.

Direct peers

• The Joint Chiropractic: Nation's largest chiropractic franchise with hundreds of locations. Directly comparable as a multi-location retail chiropractic operator focused on convenience, accessibility, and recurring patient care.
• Airrosti: Multi-state musculoskeletal care provider delivering outcomes-focused, evidence-based manual therapy across Texas, Virginia, Ohio, and other states. Highly comparable operating model and clinic footprint expansion approach.
• HealthSource Chiropractic: Franchised chiropractic and progressive rehab network with multi-state locations. Comparable as a multi-unit chiropractic operator offering spinal adjustments, rehab, and wellness services to families and athletes.
• ChiroOne Wellness Centers: Multi-location chiropractic group in the Midwest with a family-wellness positioning similar to Ability. Overlapping patient demographics, fee-for-service plus insurance model, and office-based delivery.

Emerging players

• 100% Chiropractic: Growing chiropractic franchise emphasizing family wellness, massage, and stretch therapy. Comparable in target market and service mix (adjustments plus adjunctive therapies), though smaller and earlier-stage than Ability in scale.
• StretchLab: Fast-growing assisted-stretching franchise. Competes for the same discretionary wellness dollars on the periphery of Ability's family-wellness positioning, though it does not deliver spinal adjustments.

Broad incumbents

• Concentra: Select Medical-owned occupational health and outpatient care network with extensive clinic footprint. Comparable as a multi-location insurance-accepted MSK care provider, though anchored in employer/work-injury rather than consumer wellness.
• US Physical Therapy: Public operator of outpatient physical therapy clinics across the U.S. Comparable clinic-network model and conservative-care positioning, but physical therapy rather than chiropractic anchored.
• ATI Physical Therapy: Large publicly traded outpatient physical therapy provider with hundreds of clinics across the U.S. Overlaps with Ability on conservative MSK care and insurance-billed clinic services, but PT-led rather than chiro-led.

Others

• ChiroTouch: Leading practice-management software vendor for chiropractic clinics. Relevant as an enabling/ecosystem participant serving the same chiropractic operator base that Ability belongs to.
