The #1 brand

The loan program
Up to $30,000 toward your loans.
Student debt is the hardest part of starting out. KIRO helps you chip it down from day one — as a tax-free education benefit, not a loan of its own.
$5,000 / year · up to 6 years · tax-free
$5,000 per year toward your existing student loans, paid monthly ($417/mo).
Tax-free under IRS Section 127 — it stays under the annual cap and never counts as wages.
No clawback and no repayment obligation. It simply stops if your employment ends.
You keep paying your servicer as usual; KIRO reimburses you tax-free on payroll.
How you'll practice
No construction, no capital expense, no facilities project. KIRO brings and installs everything — you provide a small unused space, and we handle the rest.
Zero admin
No paperwork
Patients check in by QR code and manage everything in the KIRO app. Scheduling and records live on the iPad in your hand.
AI-assisted
The software does the busywork
Automatic SOAP note generation you review and approve, daily patient insights, and real-time performance analytics.
Real tools
Advanced clinical care
Deliver world-class adjustments to Members who return weekly, and run Nervous System Scans with surface EMG.

Life at KIRO
Hear it from our doctors.
Scholars join a team of doctors who each chose KIRO for something different — the growth, the tools, the experience, and each other.
ACCESS, NOT JUST AVAILABILITY
Feel pain at 10:00,
Get seen by 10:05.
The reason people use it is that there's nothing to overcome.
Booking is instant, the visit is short, and it happens without leaving the building
In and out fast. The whole thing fits between meetings.
Feel discomfort, open the app, get an appointment right away.
No change rooms, no paperwork. Treated in your work clothes.
ADOPTION THAT STICKS
Care this easy becomes a weekly habit.
When people can resolve everyday pain in five minutes instead of pushing through it, the whole organization feels it — fewer distractions, fewer missed days, more capacity.
of your workforce will actively use KIRO on a weekly basis
Weekly, Not Once
MSK pain is recurring, so members return on a routine — not a one time visit that fades.
No Drop-Off
The friction that kills digital-only programs isn't here, so engagement holds instead of falling away.
Network Effect
As colleagues use it and talk about it, adoption compounds across the floor.
THE OUTCOME
A healthier, happier, and more present workforce.
Most workplace health programs launch strong and fade. On-site care that's this frictionless does the opposite — usage builds and holds.
Fewer employees working through pain at half their focus.
Everyday flare-ups get handled before they cost a workday.
Comfortable, mobile people who can do their best work.
THE PAYOFF
Lower spend on your biggest LINE item.
Most MSK cost comes from escalation. Catching everyday pain early — before it becomes imaging, specialists, drugs, and surgery — is how the spend comes down.
Simple, predictable economics
A fixed cost that protects a much larger loss.
The real question isn't "what does it cost?" — it's "what is doing nothing already costing you?" One predictable monthly investment offsets a recurring, far larger productivity and claims drain.

Clinically grounded
Proven care, with a built-in safety net.
The evidence
Backed by large, real-world trials
A pragmatic clinical trial of 750 active-duty service members across three major military medical centers compared usual medical care to usual care plus spinal adjustments.
The result: significantly better pain relief and function — with no serious adverse events.
Published in JAMA Network Open
The safety net
Frequent touchpoints catch red flags early
Because KIRO doctors see a large share of your workforce weekly, they're positioned to spot warning signs most benefits programs miss entirely.
When something needs more than MSK care, employees are guided to their PCP, imaging, or urgent care — early, before it escalates.
Care coordination, not diagnosis substitution
Enterprise-ready by design
Fits your standards — without adding burden.
01
HIPAA compliant
Member health information is handled under HIPAA, with role-based access and a clear data-processing agreement.
