Chiropractic USA Enters Agreements with Renowned Chiropractor Dr. Dennis Nikitow
LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–March 10, 2004–Chiropractic USA, Inc., a subsidiary of Banyan Corporation (OTCBB: BANY – News) has entered Area Representative and Franchise Agreements with renowned Chiropractor, Dr. Dennis Nikitow. The Area Representative Agreement calls for the development of the state of Colorado with Dr. Nikitow as the Chiropractic USA Area Representative for the State. The Franchise Agreement converts Dr. Nikitow’s Denver-based clinic into a Chiropractic USA location. In addition, Dr. Nikitow will be involved with the Chiropractic USA training and development programs.

Dr. Nikitow has practiced Chiropractic for over 24 years in one of the largest cash practices in the country. He is the founder of the original Cash Practice Seminar, The Ultimate Certainty Seminar and Certainty Practice Products. Dr. Nikitow is one of the most sought-after teachers in the Chiropractic world, teaching for not only Chiropractic colleges and associations but for the largest, most well-known practice management groups and seminars in the world. He has trained over 20,000 Chiropractors in the last 20 years with his unique communication system. Many of the largest practices in the world, practices experiencing 500 or more patient visits per week, use his proven communication strategies, posters, pamphlets and tapes to reposition the public’s perception of Chiropractic as an essential part of their health care, as opposed to merely back pain therapy.

Banyan CEO, Michael Gelmon, stated, “We have been in talks with Dr. Nikitow for sometime and are thrilled that he is now committed to Chiropractic USA. In combining Dr. Nikitow’s unique practice management techniques with those of Dr. C.J. Mertz (of the Waiting List Practice, an integral part of Chiropractic USA) Chiropractic USA is uniquely positioned to bring the best of Chiropractic coaching and operations to our franchisees.”

Dr. Nikitow commented, “I am extremely proud to be a part of the Chiropractic USA franchise. It is not only a great opportunity to be a principle developer and trainer of the franchise organization, but it is also exciting to be the area representative to all Colorado franchisees and have a franchise with my own clinic after a successful 25 years in practice. In addition, after twenty years of training other doctors in some of the most successful practice strategies in the world, I am looking forward to sharing and combining these strategies with Dr. C.J. Mertz of the Waiting List Practice. Together, we will help develop the most elite team of chiropractors throughout the U.S. With the power of franchise branding, our combined systems of practice management, and the genius of Michael and Cory Gelmon of the Dominos Pizza franchise, Chiropractic USA chiropractors will be the choice for the American people’s health care teams.”

Banyan President Cory Gelmon concluded, “Our team only gets stronger! It is amazing that we have been able to bring together two of the most dynamic and successful Chiropractic coaches in history–Doctors Mertz and Nikitow–together under our Chiropractic USA brand. In addition, we add Colorado to our existing agreements and we have forty-one franchisees with representation in twenty-three states from coast to coast. We anticipate having 50 franchise agreements in place by the end of the month, and are processing dozens of additional applications from all over the country.”
