Arizona-based The Joint Corp., the nation’s largest provider of chiropractic care through The Joint Chiropractic network, reached a deal with franchisees Ron and Julie Kluff, James and Toni Petersen, and Jerusha Overton. The Kluffs own three The Joint locations in Utah, and the Petersons are previous franchisees who have rejoined the brand. Overton will operate the businesses on behalf of the group.

“The opportunity to expand into another new territory is a significant milestone for a brand. The Joint’s presence in Alaska marks an exciting new phase of growth for our company,” says Peter D. Holt, president and CEO of The Joint Corp.

With more than 800 locations nationwide and nearly 11 million patient visits annually, The Joint Chiropractic ranked number one on Forbes’ 2022 America’s Best Small Companies list.

This clinic is owned and operated by TJ Administration Inc.

New Oil on the North Slope
August 2026
In mid-May it was 19°F and windy at the Aurora Hotel in Deadhorse. As I stood in the parking lot surveying the surroundings, I chatted with a gentleman from Texas who works for Nabors Alaska Drilling and was in town as part of a crew tasked with getting a previously inactive drill rig up and running. He said that, according to his supervisor, spring is the windy season on the North Slope. The gusts were bracing, numbing the fingers holding my camera, but most of my attention was focused on what I could capture through the lens: work trucks, shipping containers, buildings obscured by snow whipped up by the wind.
