expense, for the account of various security holders who provided bridge
financing (the "Bridge Financing") to the Company (collectively, the "Selling
Security Holders") of an aggregate of 183,333 warrants to purchase shares of

negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the Selling Security
Holders' Securities, through a combination of such methods of sale, or
otherwise. Sales may be made at fixed prices which may be changed, at market

case, other than the prevailing market price or in a block transaction to a
purchaser who resells, or if any Selling Security Holder pays compensation to a
broker-dealer that is other than the usual and customary discounts, concessions
or commissions, or if there are any arrangements either individually or in the
aggregate that would constitute a distribution of the Selling Security Holders'
Securities, a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement of which
this Prospectus is a part, would need to be filed and declared effective by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") before such Selling
Security Holders could make such sale, pay such compensation, or make such a

amendment to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part under
such circumstances.

contains forward-looking statements which involve certain risks and

anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors,
including those set forth under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this Prospectus.
 
                                  THE COMPANY
 
     The Company develops multi-disciplinary medical centers ("Integrated
Medical Centers") and furnishes certain support services to such facilities. The
Integrated Medical Centers combine, in one practice, at the same location,
traditional health care providers, such as physicians and physical therapists,
and alternative health care providers, such as chiropractors, acupuncturists and
massage therapists. The Company's objective is to become a nationally recognized
developer and manager of Integrated Medical Centers. At January 31, 1997, the
Company was managing 7 Integrated Medical Centers in the states of Florida,
Virginia and Illinois and had 48 agreements with chiropractors to develop and
manage 59 Integrated Medical Centers in 11 states.
 
     The Company develops Integrated Medical Centers generally through
affiliations with chiropractors (the "Affiliated Chiropractors") and their
existing chiropractic practices. Management endeavors to affiliate with a
chiropractor who has an established chiropractic practice in a convenient
location and who is an individual who has demonstrated the entrepreneurial
skills to build a practice. The existing practice is used as a base for the
development of an Integrated Medical Center. Typically, the Company establishes
a new Integrated Medical Center by forming a medical corporation ("Medcorp"),
which is a general business corporation wholly-owned by the Company or a
professional corporation that is physician-owned, depending upon its
interpretation of applicable state law. In some cases, one Medcorp encompasses
two or more Integrated Medical Centers. The Affiliated Chiropractor establishes
a management corporation ("Admincorp") which contracts with the Company to
provide day-to-day management of the Integrated Medical Center.
 
     The Company itself is not authorized or qualified to engage in any activity
which may be construed or be deemed to constitute the practice of medicine but
is an independent supplier of non-medical services only. The physicians and
chiropractors are responsible for all aspects of the practice of medicine and
chiropractic care and the delivery of medical and chiropractic services (subject
to certain business guidelines determined in conjunction with the Company).
 
     Management believes that the growing popularity and acceptance of
alternative medicine, also referred to as complementary medicine, has
contributed to the Company's growth. In 1993, the New England Journal of
Medicine reported that the use of alternative medicine in 1990 amounted to
approximately $13.7 billion. In October 1996, The Wall Street Journal reported
that the alternative medical therapy market is approximately $50 billion. By
integrating alternative medicine with traditional medicine, the Company is
providing a choice for the consumer in one location as well as the opportunity
to choose complementary treatments overseen by a medical doctor, which the
Company believes alleviates some of the concerns of patients and third party
payors.
 
                                        5
<PAGE>   6
 
     The Company's operating strategy is to (i) provide consumers the
opportunity to obtain, and the convenience of obtaining, under the supervision
of a medical doctor, complementary traditional and alternative medical
treatments in one location, (ii) facilitate the efficient provision of high
quality patient care through the use of credentialing standards and standardized
protocols, (iii) establish Integrated Medical Centers in local and regional
clusters for purposes of obtaining managed care contracts, (iv) assist in
marketing the Integrated Medical Centers regionally and nationally on a
coordinated basis and furnish them management, marketing, financing and other
advice and support, and (v) achieve operating efficiencies and economies of
scale through the implementation of an upgraded management information system,
the rotation of health care practitioners among Integrated Medical Centers,
increased purchasing power with suppliers, and standardized protocols,
administrative systems, and procedures.
 
     The Company's expansion strategy is to develop additional Integrated
Medical Centers in regional groups or clusters. The Company plans to continue to
develop Integrated Medical Centers through affiliations with chiropractors and
their existing chiropractic practices and intends to begin development of
Integrated Medical Centers in connection with strategic alliances with health
clubs, corporations, government offices or other organizations, in which cases
the Integrated Medical Centers would be developed in locations such as a health
club or office building. The Company regularly explores new opportunities
related to integrated medical services and may in the future negotiate
arrangements with or acquire businesses ancillary to the provision of integrated
medical services such as services relating to medical diagnostics or billing
systems. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company has no understandings,
commitments or agreements with respect to any acquisitions.

                                    RISK FACTORS
 
     An investment in the Securities offered hereby involves a high degree of
risk and should be made only by investors who can afford the loss of their
entire investment. Prospective investors should carefully review and consider
the following risks as well as the other information set forth in this
Prospectus.
 
     Limited Operating History; History of Losses; No Assurance of
Profitability.  The Company commenced operations in January 1995 and began
managing its first Integrated Medical Center in September 1995. The Company has
a limited operating history upon which prospective investors can judge the
Company's performance. At September 30, 1996, the Company had an accumulated
deficit of $718,239 and a working capital deficit of $434,031. There can be no
assurance that the Company will ever be profitable. See "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
 
     Risks Related to Expansion Strategy.  The Company has expanded from
managing one Integrated Medical Center at December 31, 1995 to 7 Integrated
Medical Centers at January 31, 1997. In addition, the Company intends to develop
approximately 63 additional Integrated Medical Centers (including the 59 for
which it had agreements with chiropractors at January 31, 1997) within the 12
months after the date of this Prospectus. The Company's growth will depend upon
a number of factors, including: (i) the Company's ability to identify and
affiliate with suitable, well-located chiropractors and their existing
chiropractic practices; (ii) whether new Integrated Medical Centers will be
opened in accordance with the Company's plans; (iii) the Company's ability to
adequately train Affiliated Chiropractors and their office staff on the
operation and administration of Integrated Medical Centers and the Company's
management information system; (iv) the Company's continued ability to attract
and retain medical doctors and other traditional health care providers for
employment at the Integrated Medical Centers; (v) the ability of the Company to
support and manage Integrated Medical Centers effectively; (vi) whether
anticipated performance levels at Integrated Medical Centers will be achieved;
and (vii) regulatory constraints. There can be no assurance that the Company's
expansion strategy will be successful or that modifications to the Company's
expansion strategy will not be required. Any significant delay in the opening of
new Integrated Medical Centers or the failure of Integrated Medical Centers to
achieve anticipated performance levels could adversely affect the Company. In
pursuing its expansion strategy, the Company intends to expand its presence into
new geographic markets. In entering a new geographic market, the Company will be
required to comply with laws and regulations of jurisdictions that differ from
those applicable to the Company's current operations, deal with different payors
as well as face competitors with greater knowledge of such markets than the
Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to effectively
establish a presence in any new market. The Company's strategy also involves
growth through acquisitions of complementary businesses in order to enhance the
services offered by its Integrated Medical Centers. The Company will be subject
to various risks associated with an acquisition growth strategy, including the
risk that the Company will be unable to identify and recruit suitable
acquisition candidates in the future or to absorb and manage the acquisitions.
See "Business -- Expansion Strategy" and "Business -- Government Regulation."
 
     Possible Need for Additional Financing.  The Company is dependent upon the
net proceeds of this Offering for the continued implementation of its operating
and expansion strategies. Although the Company believes that the net proceeds of
this Offering together with cash from operations will be sufficient to satisfy
its cash requirements for at least 12 months following the date of this
Prospectus (exclusive of applying any such funds to the acquisition of other
businesses), there is no assurance that additional funds will not be needed.
Factors that may require the Company to seek additional financing include the
development of a larger number of Integrated Medical Centers than now
anticipated, a higher average cost to develop additional Integrated Medical
Centers than that which has been the case to date, and the acquisition of other
businesses all or part of the payment for which is in cash. If the Company
requires additional financing, it may raise capital through the issuance of
equity securities and/or the incurrence of debt. If additional capital is raised
through the issuance of equity securities, dilution to the Company's
stockholders may result. If additional capital is raised through the incurrence
of debt, the Company likely would become subject to restrictions on its
operations and finances. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to raise additional capital when needed on satisfactory terms or at all. If the
Company is unable to secure additional sources of financing on terms and
conditions acceptable to the Company or at all, the Company's expansion strategy
could be
 
                                        9

materially adversely affected. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital
Resources" and Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
     Pledge of Assets; Loan Commitment.  Substantially all of the Company's
assets are pledged as collateral for notes issued in connection with the Bridge
Financing. The Company has received a low interest rate loan commitment in the
amount of $45,000 to be used to defray its relocation costs resulting from the
leasing of executive offices in Montgomery County, Maryland. Such loan is to be
secured by the Company's capital assets. The loan commitment expires on March
31, 1997. See "Business -- Properties."
 
     Possibility of Regulatory Challenge to the Affiliation
Relationships.  Physician practice management companies ("PPMs") typically bill,
collect, disburse funds to, pay expenses (including their own fees) or otherwise
manage traditional physician or dental practices. The Company likewise
undertakes to perform these services, albeit for Integrated Medical Centers.
However, whereas PPMs may subcontract certain of their functions to third
parties unaffiliated with the practices they manage, the Company subcontracts
the day-to-day management of the Integrated Medical Centers to management
companies controlled by the Affiliated Chiropractors. These are persons who both
refer patients to the Integrated Medical Centers from their existing
chiropractic practices and are employed by the Medcorps at the Integrated
Medical Centers. The Company is unaware of any scrutiny by state or federal
health care enforcement officials of the structure of typical PPM-
provider-subcontractor relationships to date, and believes its Affiliated
Chiropractor relationships do not violate applicable federal or state health
care regulatory requirements. There can be no assurance, however, that health
care enforcement officials will not take a contrary view. Investigations or
prosecutions by such enforcement officials could have a material adverse effect
on the Company, even if the Company's Affiliated Chiropractor relationships were
subsequently determined lawful.
 
     Reliance on Affiliated Chiropractors.  The Company's revenue and cash flow
are dependent on the generation and collection of revenue by the Medcorps and
the efficient management of both the Medcorps and the Admincorps by the
Affiliated Chiropractors. The Admincorps both (i) employ the administrative
staff who perform the day-to-day administrative functions of the Integrated
Medical Centers, including functions related to the collection of revenue and
(ii) are responsible for many expenses required for the operation of the
Integrated Medical Centers, including, for example, office and many medical
supplies. The ability of the Admincorp to meet its financial obligations,
including its financial obligations to the Company (from which the Company
ultimately derives income), likewise depends on the collection of revenue by the
Medcorp and efficient management of both the Medcorp and the Admincorp. During
start-up, the Admincorp must rely upon the capital invested in it by, or other
financial assistance from, the Affiliated Chiropractor or his existing
chiropractic practice in order to timely meet its financial obligations, such as
payroll. In some cases, due to delays in the submission of bills and collection
of revenue by the Medcorp, the start-up phase has been extended and, in such
cases as well as in some cases where the start-up phase has not been extended,
the Admincorp has had to rely upon financial assistance from the Affiliated
Chiropractor or the Affiliated Chiropractor's existing chiropractic practice
longer than anticipated. The Company has not previously obtained financial
information or performed credit checks on Affiliated Chiropractors or, where
organized as separate legal entities, their existing chiropractic practices. It
intends to begin doing so, however, prior to entering into other agreements with
chiropractors to develop new Integrated Medical Centers. In addition, the
revenues flowing to the Affiliated Chiropractor's existing chiropractic
practice, or to the Affiliated Chiropractor through his existing practice,
diminish over time, in some cases, substantially and rapidly. Thus, the
Affiliated Chiropractor's ability to provide additional financial assistance to
the Admincorp, and/or to cover his obligations with respect to the office space
and equipment leased or subleased by him or his existing chiropractic practice
to the Company for use by the Integrated Medical Center, may diminish.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any such affiliation with a
chiropractor will result in a successful relationship. See
"Business -- Agreements With Affiliated Chiropractors and Other Licensed
Practitioners."
 
     The Company's agreements with Affiliated Chiropractors and entities
controlled by them relating to the operation and management of the Integrated
Medical Centers are generally for initial terms of five years, although some are
for ten years. They may be renewed in five year increments, up to four times, by
mutual consent. An Affiliated Chiropractor may terminate such an agreement if
the Company materially breaches it and, if the breach is correctable, the
Company fails to cure the breach within ten days after written
 
                                       10
<PAGE>   11
 
notification. A number of the agreements, including agreements with respect to
at least four of the seven operating Integrated Medical Centers, are also
terminable by the Affiliated Chiropractor if, for example, the combined revenues
of the Integrated Medical Center and existing chiropractic practice during the
first year after the start-up phase do not exceed 110% of the revenues of the
Affiliated Chiropractor's existing chiropractic practice for the one year period
preceding the date the Affiliated Chiropractor agreed in writing to develop the
Integrated Medical Center in conjunction with the Company. The start-up phase is
generally three months following integration, which is the date on which a
medical doctor first sees a patient for the Integrated Medical Center
("Integration Date"). The loss of a substantial number of such agreements, or
the loss of a substantial number of Affiliated Chiropractors, would have a
material adverse effect on the Company. See "Business -- Agreements With
Affiliated Chiropractors and Other Licensed Practitioners."
 
     Dependence On Third Party Reimbursement.  Substantially all revenue of the
Medcorps, on which the Company's income is dependent, derives from commercial
health insurance, state workers' compensation programs, and other third party
payors. Following the Company's specific approval, the Medcorps may also treat
patients covered under federal and state funded health care programs. All of
these providers and programs are regulated at the state or federal level. There
are increasing and significant public and private sector pressures to contain
health care costs and to restrict reimbursement rates for medical services. For
example, it has been widely reported that the Medicare program is expected to
run short of funds early in the next century. Accordingly, Congress, in its
fiscal year 1996 budget legislation, called for and considered severe reductions
in both the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Although a budget accord was not
reached in the last session, Congress is expected to again consider legislation
in its 1997 and 1998 sessions that would propose significant reductions to the
Medicare and Medicaid programs. Several states have taken measures to reduce the
reimbursement rates paid to health care providers in their states. The Company
believes that additional states will implement reductions from time to time.
Reductions in Medicare and Medicaid rates often lead to reductions in the
reimbursement rates of other third party payors as well. Thus, changes in the
level of support by federal and state governments of health care services, the
methods by which health care services may be delivered, and the prices of such
services may all have a material impact on revenue of the Medcorps, which in
turn could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
 
     Third party payors are generally not familiar with reimbursing for
traditional and alternative health care services, such as chiropractic, in the
same medical practice. The third party payors may disagree with the description
of or coding of a bill for medical services, or may contest a description or
code under a lesser (e.g., chiropractic) fee schedule. Such disagreements on
description of professional services or bill coding, particularly where the
third party payor is a federal or state funded health care program, could result
in lesser reimbursement, which could have a material adverse effect on the
Medcorps and ultimately on the Company. Persistent disagreements or alleged
"upcoding" could result in allegations of fraud or false billing, both of which
constitute felonies. Such an allegation, if proven, could result in forfeitures
of payment, civil money penalties, civil fines, suspensions, or disbarment from
participating in federal or state funded health care programs, and have a
material adverse effect on the Company. Investigation and prosecutions for
fraudulent or false billing could have a material adverse effect on the Company,
even if such allegations were disproven.
 
     The Company's income may be adversely affected by the uncollectibility of
the Medcorps' medical fees from third party payors or by delay in the submission
of claims, a problem experienced by certain Integrated Medical Centers, and the
long collection cycles for such receivables. Many third party payors,
particularly insurance carriers covering automobile no-fault and workers'
compensation claims refuse, as a matter of business practice, to pay claims
unless submitted to arbitration. Further, third-party payors may reject medical
claims if, in their judgment, the procedures performed were not medically
necessary or if the charges exceed such payor's allowable fee standards. In
addition, some receivables may not be collected because of omissions or errors
in timely completion of the required claim forms. The inability of the Medcorps
to collect their receivables could materially adversely affect the Company. See
"-- Government Regulation," "Business -- Third Party Reimbursement" and
"Business -- Government Regulation."
 
     Risks Associated with Managed Care Contracts.  An increasing percentage of
patients are coming under the control of managed care entities. The Company
believes that its success will, in part, depend upon the Company's ability to
negotiate, on behalf of the Medcorps, favorable managed care contracts with
health
 
                                       11
<PAGE>   12
 
maintenance organizations ("HMOs") and other private third party payors. Such
contracts often shift much of the financial risk of providing care from the
payor to the provider by requiring the provider to furnish all or a portion of
its services in exchange for a fixed, or "capitated," fee per member patient,
per month, regardless of the level of such patients' utilization rates and,
sometimes in the case of primary care physicians, to accept financial risk for
health care services not normally furnished by such physicians (e.g., specialty
physician or hospital services). The Company intends to negotiate capitated
agreements with managed care organizations. The Company has begun preliminary
discussions with one managed care concern, but has not approached or discussed
the possibility of obtaining a managed care contract for any of the Integrated
Medical Centers with any other managed care concern. Some managed care
agreements also offer "shared risk" provisions under which providers and
provider practice management concerns can earn additional compensation based on
the utilization of services by members, but may be required to bear a portion of
any loss in connection with such "shared-risk" provisions. Any such losses could
have a material adverse effect on the Company. In order for capitated contracts,
especially any with "shared-risk" provisions to be profitable for the Company,
the Company must effectively monitor the utilization of its services delivered
to members of the managed care organization who are patients of the Integrated
Medical Centers and, to the extent the Integrated Medical Centers are
responsible for overall patient care, monitor the utilization of specialist
physicians or hospitals, negotiate favorable rates with such other providers,
and obtain, on favorable terms, stoploss protection limiting its per enrollee
exposure above specified thresholds. The Company does not currently have a
utilization management program, but has commenced preliminary discussions with a
software vendor regarding the potential use of its program for that purpose.
Further, certain of the Company's operating strategies (e.g., having all
treatments supervised by a physician) are intended to attract managed care
contracts for the Integrated Medical Centers. Third party payors are not,
however, generally familiar with traditional and alternative health services
being provided within the same medical practice and may have concerns about
contracting with such practices. For this and other reasons, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to negotiate satisfactory managed care
contracts for the Integrated Medical Centers. Nor can there be any assurance
that any managed care contracts it enters into on behalf of the Integrated
Medical Centers will not adversely affect the Integrated Medical Centers or the
Company.
 
     Health Care Reform.  Although Congress failed to pass comprehensive health
care reform legislation in 1996, the Company anticipates that Congress and state
legislatures will continue to review and assess alternative health care delivery
and payment systems and may in the future propose and adopt legislation
effecting fundamental changes in the health care delivery system. Also, Congress
is expected to consider major reductions in the rate of increase of Medicare and
Medicaid spending as part of efforts to balance the budget of the United States.
The Company cannot predict the ultimate timing, scope or effect of any
legislation concerning health care reform, including legislation affecting the
Medicare and Medicaid programs. Any proposed federal legislation, if adopted,
could result in significant changes in the availability, delivery, pricing and
payment for health care services and products. Various states also have
undertaken or are considering significant health care reform initiatives.
Although it is not possible to predict whether any health care reform
legislation will be adopted or, if adopted, the exact manner and the extent to
which the Company will be affected, it is likely that the Company will be
affected in some fashion, and there can be no assurance that any health care
reform legislation, if and when adopted, will not have a material adverse effect
on the Company.
 
     Dependence Upon Key Personnel.  The Company is dependent upon the active
participation of its executive officers, particularly the Company's founder,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, C. Thomas McMillen, and E. Eugene Sharer,
its President, Chief Operating Officer, and Chief Financial Officer. The loss to
the Company of the services of Mr. McMillen or Mr. Sharer could have a material
adverse effect upon the Company. The Company has an employment contract with
each of these executive officers extending through March 31, 1999. See
"Management -- Employment Agreements." The Company has applied for "key-man"
life insurance policies on the lives of Messrs. McMillen and Sharer providing
benefits to the Company of $1 million upon the death of each of Mr. McMillen or
Mr. Sharer. Nevertheless, the loss of either person, or the inability to attract
other qualified employees, could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
 
                                       12
<PAGE>   13
 
     Professional Liability.  The Medcorps employ health care practitioners at
the Integrated Medical Centers for the delivery of health care services to the
public. They are thus exposed to the risk of professional liability claims. The
Company does not itself provide such services or control the provision of health
care services by the Integrated Medical Centers' practitioners or their
compliance with regulatory and other requirements in that regard. The Company
might nevertheless be held liable for medical negligence on their part.
 
     The Company has obtained an insurance policy that, subject to certain
conditions, provides both it and its subsidiaries medical malpractice insurance
and managed care errors and omissions insurance retroactive to the Integration
Dates of the Company's current Integrated Medical Centers and one former
Integrated Medical Center. The policy provides coverage for $1,000,000 per claim
per Integrated Medical Center, subject to an aggregate limit of $3,000,000 per
Integrated Medical Center per year. The policy will also cover the Company with
respect to Integrated Medical Centers as they are opened. There is no deductible
under the policy.
 
     The foregoing policy is a "claims made" policy. Thus, it provides coverage
for covered claims made during the policy's term but not for losses occurring
during the policy's term for which a claim is made subsequent to the expiration
of the term. Further, the policy remains contingent on, among other things, the
Company paying the initial premium of approximately $40,000 by March 10, 1997.
As to future Integrated Medical Centers, the Company must submit an application
and pay the premium with respect thereto within two weeks and 30 days of the
desired effective date of coverage, respectively. The policy is also subject to
bi-annual audits of patient visits.
 
     There can be no assurance, however, that the Company, its employees, or the
licensed health care practitioners employed at or associated with the Integrated
Medical Centers will not be subject to claims in amounts that exceed the
coverage limits under the policy or that such coverage will be available when
needed. Further, there can be no assurance that professional liability insurance
will continue to be available to the Company in the future at adequate levels or
at an acceptable cost to the Company. A successful claim against the Company in
excess of the Company's insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect
upon the Company's business. Claims against the Company, regardless of their
merits or eventual outcome, also may have an adverse effect upon the Company.
 
     Government Regulation.  Federal and state laws extensively regulate the
relationships among providers of health care services, physicians and other
clinicians. These laws include federal fraud and abuse provisions. Such
provisions prohibit the solicitation, receipt, payment, or offering of any
direct or indirect remuneration for the referral of patients for which
reimbursement is made under any federal or state funded health care program or
for the recommending, leasing, arranging, ordering or providing of services
covered by such programs. States have similar laws that apply to patients
covered by private and government programs. Federal fraud and abuse laws also
impose restrictions on physicians' referrals for designated health services
covered under Medicare or Medicaid to entities with which they have financial
relationships. Various states, such as Illinois, Florida, Maryland, and
Virginia, among others, have adopted similar laws that cover patients in private
programs as well as government programs. There can be no assurance that the
federal and state governments will not consider additional prohibitions on
physician ownership, directly or indirectly, of facilities to which they refer
patients, which could adversely affect the Company. Violations of these laws may
result in substantial civil or criminal penalties for individuals or entities,
including large civil money penalties and exclusion from participation in
federal or state health care programs. Such exclusion, if applied to the
Company's Integrated Medical Centers, could result in significant loss of
reimbursement and could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
 
     Federal law also prohibits conduct that may be or result in price-fixing or
other anticompetitive conduct. Moreover, the Company may in the future contract
with licensed insurance companies and/or HMO's. Certain of such contracts may
require the Medcorps on behalf of which the Company contracts to assume risk in
connection with providing health care services under capitation arrangements. To
the extent that the Company or the Medcorps may be in the business of insurance
as a result of entering into such arrangements, they may be subject to a variety
of regulatory and licensing requirements applicable to insurance companies or
 
                                       13
<PAGE>   14
 
HMOs. There can be no assurance that the Company or the Medcorps will not be
adversely affected by such regulations.
 
     Moreover, the laws of many states prohibit physicians from sharing
professional fees, or "splitting fees," with anyone other than a member of the
same profession or with a member of the same profession outside group practice.
These laws and their interpretations vary from state to state and are enforced
by the courts and by regulatory authorities with broad discretion. Expansion of
the operations of the Company to certain jurisdictions may require structural
and organizational modifications of the Company's form of relationship with
Integrated Medical Centers, which could have an adverse effect on the Company.
Although the Company believes its operations as currently conducted are in
material compliance with existing applicable laws, there can be no assurance
that review of the Company's business by courts or regulatory authorities will
not result in a determination that could adversely affect the operations of the
Company or that the health care regulatory environment will not change so as to
restrict the Company's existing operations or its expansion. See
"Business -- Government Regulation."
 
     Federal law and the laws of many states regulate the sale of franchises.
Franchise laws require, among other things, that a disclosure document be
prepared and given to prospective franchisees. The Company believes that
Medcorps formed as business corporations wholly-owned by the Company or CWC LLC
are not subject to such laws. Medcorps formed as physician-owned professional
corporations may be subject to them. If such laws are deemed to apply, the
Company would be required to prepare and deliver a disclosure document to the
physician that owns the professional corporation, who typically will be an
employee of the Company. Federal law and the laws of certain states also
regulate the sale of so-called business opportunities. Franchise laws and
business opportunity laws and their interpretation vary from state to state and
are enforced by the courts and regulatory authorities with broad discretion.
Failure to comply with these laws could give rise to a private right of action
for damages or rescission, civil fines and penalties, and, in some cases,
criminal sanctions. Although the Company believes that its form of relationship
with Medcorps and Admincorps is not the type intended to be covered by such
laws, the Company has engaged counsel to advise it in this regard. There can be
no assurance that review of the Company's business by regulatory authorities
will not result in a determination that could adversely affect the operations of
the Company or require structural and organizational modifications of the
Company's form of relationship with Integrated Medical Centers that could have
an adverse effect on the Company.
 
     State Laws Prohibiting the Corporate Practice of Medicine.  The Medcorps
are formed as general business corporations wholly-owned by the Company in
states (such as Florida and Virginia) in which the Company believes general
business corporations are permitted to own medical practices. In other states
(such as Illinois), the Medcorps are formed as professional corporations owned
by one or more medical doctors licensed to practice medicine under applicable
state law. Corporations such as the Company are not permitted under certain
state laws to practice medicine or exercise control over the medical judgments
or decisions of practitioners. Corporate practice of medicine laws and their
interpretations vary from state to state and are enforced by the courts and by
regulatory authorities with broad discretion. The Company believes that it
performs only non-medical administrative services, does not represent to the
public or its clients that it offers medical services and does not exercise
influence or control over the practice of medicine by the practitioners with
whom it contracts. Expansion of the operations of the Company to certain
jurisdictions may require structural and organizational modifications of the
Company's form of relationship with practitioners in order to comply with
corporate practice of medicine laws, which could have an adverse effect on the
Company. Although the Company believes its operations as currently conducted are
in material compliance with existing applicable laws, there can be no assurance
that the Company's structure will not be challenged as constituting the
unlicensed practice of medicine or that the enforceability of the agreements
underlying this structure will not be limited. If such a challenge were made
successfully in any state, the Company could be subject to civil and criminal
penalties under such state's law and could be required to restructure its
contractual arrangements in that state. Such results, or the inability to
successfully restructure its contractual arrangements, could have a material
adverse effect upon the Company.
 
     Repayment of Debt; Discretion in Use of Proceeds.  Approximately $1,436,000
or 30.0% of the estimated net proceeds of the Offering will be used to repay
debt. Approximately $1,336,000 or 28.0% of the estimated
 
                                       14
<PAGE>   15
 
net proceeds of the Offering have been allocated to working capital and general
corporate purposes. Management will have broad discretion as to the application
of such net proceeds. See "Use of Proceeds."
 
     Competition.  The managed health care industry, including the provider
practice management industry, is highly competitive. The Company competes with
other companies for physicians and other practitioners of health care services
as well as for patients. The Company competes not only with national and
regional provider practice management companies, but also with local providers,
many of which are trying to combine their own services with those of other
providers into delivery networks. Certain of the companies are significantly
larger, provide a wider variety of services, have greater financial and other
resources, have greater experience furnishing provider practice management
services, and have longer established relationships with buyers of these
services, than the Company, and provide at least some of the services provided
by the Company. In addition, companies with greater resources than the Company
that are not presently engaged in the provision of integrated provider practice
management services could decide to enter the business and engage in activities
similar to those in which the Company engages. There can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to compete effectively. See "Business -- Competition."
 
     Loans to Integrated Medical Centers.  The Company is required under the
terms of its management agreements to make loans to certain of the Medcorps in
amounts up to $40,000. The failure of a substantial number of the Medcorps to
repay such loans, to the extent taken, could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's financial condition. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
 
     Control by Existing Stockholders.  Following the closing of the Offering,
the Company's executive officers and directors will control or own approximately
26.9% (25.0% if the Over-allotment Option is fully exercised) of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock. As a result, such persons may be able to determine the
election of all of the Company's directors and the outcome of all issues
submitted to the Company's stockholders. Furthermore, such concentration of
ownership could limit the price that certain investors might be willing to pay
in the future for shares of Common Stock, and could have the effect of making it
more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party
from attempting to acquire, control of the Company. See "Principal
Stockholders."
 
     Portions of Offering Proceeds Benefiting Management.  Net proceeds to the
Company from the sale of the Securities offered hereby will be used to pay
accrued salaries of certain officers in an aggregate amount of $131,500, and
accrued equipment lease payments to McMillen and Company, Inc., a corporation
controlled by C. Thomas McMillen, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, in the amount of $6,000. See "Use of Proceeds" and
"Management -- Employment Agreements."
 
     Shares Eligible For Future Sale.  Of the 1,860,767 shares of Common Stock
and 1,000,000 Warrants to be outstanding upon completion of this Offering after
giving effect to the conversion of the 1,350 shares of Series A Preferred Stock
into 145,800 shares of Common Stock upon consummation of this Offering, the
1,000,000 shares of Common Stock and the 1,000,000 Warrants (1,150,000 shares of
Common Stock and 1,150,000 Warrants if the Over-allotment Option is exercised in
full) will be immediately freely tradeable without restriction under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") except for any
securities purchased by an "affiliate" of the Company (as that term is defined
in the Securities Act), which securities will be subject to the resale
limitations of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. All of the remaining 860,767
shares of Common Stock outstanding are "restricted securities," as that term is
defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act and may, under certain
circumstances, be sold without registration under the Securities Act. The sale,
or availability for sale, of substantial amounts of Common Stock in the public
market subsequent to this Offering pursuant to Rule 144 or otherwise could
materially adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock and could
impair the Company's ability to raise additional capital through the sale of its
equity securities or debt financing.
 
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, each officer and director of the Company,
substantially all holders of the shares of Common Stock and all holders of any
options, warrants or other securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable
for shares of Common Stock have agreed not to, directly or indirectly, offer,
sell, transfer, pledge, assign, hypothecate or otherwise encumber or dispose of
any of the Company's securities, whether or
 
                                       15
<PAGE>   16
 
not presently owned, for a period of 13 months after the date of this Prospectus
without the prior written consent of the Representative. After such 13-month
period, 713,100 of such shares of Common Stock may be sold in accordance with
Rule 144. The foregoing restriction does not apply to the Bridge Warrants and
the shares of Common Stock underlying such Bridge Warrants registered pursuant
hereto for the account of the Selling Security Holders. The Selling Security
Holders have agreed with the Company not to effect any sales of the Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Bridge Warrants until 180 days after the date of
this Prospectus. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale."
 
     Limitation of Directors' Liability.  The Company's Certificate of
Incorporation and By-laws provide that a director of the Company will not be
personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for
breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director, subject to certain
limitations imposed by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Thus, under certain
circumstances, neither the Company nor its stockholders will be able to recover
damages even if the directors take actions which harm the Company. See
"Management -- Limitation of Directors' and Officers' Liability and
Indemnification."
 
     Absence of Dividends.  The Company has paid no cash dividends on its Common
Stock since its inception and does not plan to pay cash dividends on the Common
Stock in the foreseeable future. The Company anticipates that future earnings
will be retained to finance future operations and expansion. See "Dividend
Policy."
 
     No Prior Public Market; Arbitrary Determination of Public Offering Prices;
Possible Volatility of Common Stock and Warrant Market Prices.  Prior to this
Offering, there has been no public market for the Common Stock or Warrants and
there can be no assurance that an active public market for the Common Stock or
the Warrants will develop or, if developed, be sustained after this Offering.
The initial public offering prices of the Securities and the terms of the
Warrants were arbitrarily determined by negotiations between the Company and the
Representative, and do not necessarily bear any relationship to the Company's
assets, book value, results of operations, or any other generally accepted
criteria of value. From time to time after this Offering, there may be
significant volatility in the market price of the Common Stock and the Warrants.
Quarterly operating results of the Company, changes in general conditions in the
economy or the health care industry, or other developments affecting the
Company, could cause the market price of the Common Stock and the Warrants to
fluctuate substantially. The equity markets have, on occasion, experienced
significant price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market prices
for many companies' securities and have often been unrelated to the operating
performance of these companies. Concern about the potential effects of health
care reform measures has contributed to the volatility of stock prices of
companies in health care and related industries and may similarly affect the
price of the Common Stock and the Warrants following this Offering. See
"Underwriting."
 
     Immediate and Substantial Dilution.  The purchasers of the shares of Common
Stock offered by the Company hereby will experience immediate and substantial
dilution in the net tangible book value of the shares of Common Stock from the
initial public offering price in the amount of $3.74 per share, or approximately
62.3% per share. The present stockholders of the Company have acquired their
respective equity interests at costs substantially below the initial public
offering price of the shares of Common Stock. Accordingly, to the extent that
the Company incurs losses, the public investors will bear a disproportionate
risk of such losses. See "Dilution."
 
     Speculative Nature of the Warrants; Possible Redemption of Warrants.  The
Warrants do not confer any rights of Common Stock ownership on their holders,
such as voting rights or the right to receive dividends, but rather merely
represent the right to acquire shares of Common Stock at a fixed price for a
limited period of time. Specifically, commencing August 19, 1997, holders of the
Warrants may exercise their right to acquire Common Stock and pay an exercise
price of $7.20 per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain
dilutive events, until February 18, 2002, after which date any unexercised
warrants will expire and have no further value. Moreover, following the
completion of this Offering, the market value of the Warrants will be uncertain
and there can be no assurance that the market value of the Warrants will equal
or exceed their initial public offering price. There can be no assurance that
the market price of the Common Stock will ever equal or
 
                                       16
<PAGE>   17
 
exceed the exercise price of the Warrants and, consequently, whether it will
ever be profitable for holders of the Warrants to exercise the Warrants.
 
     Commencing August 19, 1998, the Warrants will be subject to redemption at
$.10 per Warrant on 30 days' prior written notice provided that the average
closing bid price of the Common Stock as reported on Nasdaq SCM equals or
exceeds $9.60 per share for any 20 trading days within a period of 30
consecutive trading days ending on the fifth trading day prior to the date of
the notice of redemption. If the Warrants are redeemed, holders of the Warrants
will lose their rights to exercise the Warrants after the expiration of the 30-
day notice period. Upon receipt of a notice of redemption, holders would be
required to: (i) exercise the Warrants and pay the exercise price at a time when
it may be disadvantageous for them to do so, (ii) sell the Warrants at the
then-prevailing market price, if any, when they might otherwise wish to hold the
Warrants, or (iii) accept the redemption price, which is likely to be
substantially less than the market value of the Warrants at the time of
redemption. In the event that holders of the Warrants elect not to exercise
their Warrants upon notice of redemption, the unexercised Warrants will be
redeemed prior to exercise, and the holders thereof will lose the benefit of the
appreciated market price of the Warrants, if any, and/or the difference between
the market price of the underlying Common Stock as of such date and the exercise
price of such Warrants, as well as any possible future price appreciation in the
Common Stock. See "Description of Securities -- Warrants."
 
     Current Prospectus and State Blue Sky Registration Required to Exercise
Warrants.  The Warrants are not exercisable unless, at the time of exercise, the
Company has a current prospectus covering the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants and such shares have been registered, qualified or
deemed to be exempt under the securities or "blue sky" laws of the state of
residence of the exercising holder of the Warrants. Although the Company has
undertaken to use its best efforts to have all of the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants registered or qualified on or before the
exercise date and to maintain a current prospectus relating thereto until the
expiration of the Warrants, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so.
The value of the Warrants may be greatly reduced if a current prospectus
covering the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants is not kept
effective or if such Common Stock is not qualified or exempt from qualification
in the states in which the holders of the Warrants reside. Until completion of
this Offering, the Common Stock and the Warrants may only be purchased together
on the basis of one share of Common Stock and one Warrant, but the Warrants will
be separately tradeable immediately after this Offering. Although the Securities
will not knowingly be sold to purchasers in jurisdictions in which the
Securities are not registered or otherwise qualified for sale, investors may
purchase the Warrants in the secondary market or may move to a jurisdiction in
which the shares underlying the Warrants are not registered or qualified during
the period that the Warrants are exercisable. In such event, the Company will be
unable to issue shares to those persons desiring to exercise their Warrants
unless and until the shares are qualified for sale in jurisdictions in which
such purchasers reside, or an exemption from such qualification exists in such
jurisdictions, and holders of the Warrants would have no choice but to attempt
to sell the Warrants in a jurisdiction where such sale is permissible or allow
them to expire unexercised. See "Description of Securities -- Warrants."
 
     Representative's Potential Influence on the Market.  A significant amount
of the Securities offered hereby may be sold to customers of the Representative.
Such customers subsequently may engage in transactions for the sale or purchase
of such Securities through or with the Representative. If it participates in the
market, as a market maker or otherwise, the Representative may exert a
dominating influence on the market, if one develops, for the Securities
described in this Prospectus. Such market making activity may be discontinued at
any time. The price and liquidity of the Common Stock and the Warrants may be
significantly affected by the degree, if any, of the Representative's
participation in such market. See "Underwriting."
 
     Anti-Takeover Provisions; Preferred Stock.  The Company's Board of
Directors has the authority to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock
in one or more series and to determine the number of shares in each series, as
well as the designations, preferences, rights and qualifications or restrictions
of those shares without any further vote or action by the stockholders. The
rights of the holders of Common Stock will be subject to, and may be adversely
affected by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued
in the future. The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of making
it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of the outstanding
voting stock of the Company. The Company has issued 1,350 shares of
 
                                       17
<PAGE>   18
 
Series A Preferred Stock, which will convert automatically into 145,800 shares
of Common Stock upon consummation of this Offering. The Company has no present
plans to issue additional shares of preferred stock. In addition, the Company is
subject to the anti-takeover provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law. In general, this statute prohibits a publicly held Delaware
corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested
stockholder" for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in
which the person became interested stockholder, unless the business combination
is approved in a prescribed manner. See "Description of Securities."
 
     No Assurance of Nasdaq SCM Listing; Risk of Low-Priced Securities; Risk of
Application of Penny Stock Rules.  The Board of Governors of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. has established certain standards for
the initial listing and continued listing of a security on Nasdaq SCM. The
standards for initial listing require, among other things, that an issuer have
total assets of $4,000,000 and capital and surplus of at least $2,000,000; that
the minimum bid price for the listed securities be $3.00 per share; that the
minimum market value of the public float (the shares held by non-insiders) be at
least $2,000,000, and that there be at least two market makers for the issuer's
securities. The maintenance standards require, among other things, that an
issuer have total assets of at least $2,000,000 and capital and surplus of at
least $1,000,000; that the minimum bid price for the listed securities be $1.00
per share; that the minimum market value of the "public float" be at least
$1,000,000 and that there be at least two market makers for the issuer's
securities. A deficiency in either the market value of the public float or the
bid price maintenance standard will be deemed to exist if the issuer fails the
individual stated requirement for ten consecutive trading days. If an issuer
falls below the bid price maintenance standard, it may remain on Nasdaq SCM if
the market value of the public float is at least $1,000,000 and the issuer has
$2,000,000 in equity. Nasdaq SCM has recently proposed new maintenance criteria
which, if implemented, would eliminate the exception to the $1.00 per share
minimum bid price and require, among other things, $2,000,000 in net tangible
assets, $1,000,000 market value of the public float and adherence to certain
corporate governance provisions. There can be no assurance that the Company will
continue to satisfy the requirements for maintaining a Nasdaq SCM listing. If
the Company's securities were to be excluded from Nasdaq SCM, it would adversely
affect the prices of such securities and the ability of holders to sell them,
and the Company would be required to comply with the initial listing
requirements to be relisted on Nasdaq SCM.
 
     If the Company is unable to satisfy Nasdaq SCM's maintenance requirements
and the price per share were to drop below $5.00, then unless the Company
satisfied certain net asset tests, the Company's securities would become subject
to certain penny stock rules promulgated by the Commission. The penny stock
rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not
otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure
document prepared by the Commission that provides information about penny stocks
and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer
also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the
penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the
transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each
penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules
require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from
such rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the
penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the
purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements
may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary
market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. If the Common
Stock becomes subject to the penny stock rules, investors in the Offering may
find it more difficult to sell their shares.
 
     Risks Associated with Forward-Looking Statements Included in this
Prospectus.  This Prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements
regarding the plans and objectives of management for future operations,
including plans and objectives relating to the development of Integrated Medical
Centers. The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current
expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. The Company's plans
and objectives are based on a successful execution of the Company's expansion
strategy and assumptions that the Integrated Medical Centers will be profitable,
that the health care industry will not change materially or adversely, and that
there will be no unanticipated material adverse change in the Company's
operations or business. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments
with
 
                                       18
<PAGE>   19
 
respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market
conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or
impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of the
Company. Although the Company believes that its assumptions underlying the
forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove
inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking
statements included in this Prospectus will prove to be accurate. In light of
the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements
included herein, particularly in view of the Company's early stage operations,
the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by
the Company or any other person that the objectives and plans of the Company
will be achieved.

                                  THE COMPANY
 
     The Company develops multi-disciplinary medical centers ("Integrated
Medical Centers") and furnishes certain support services to such facilities. The
Integrated Medical Centers combine, in one practice at the same location,
traditional health care providers, such as physicians and physical therapists,
and alternative health care providers, such as chiropractors, acupuncturists and
massage therapists. The Company's objective is to become a nationally recognized
developer and manager of Integrated Medical Centers. At January 31, 1997, the
Company was managing 7 Integrated Medical Centers in the states of Florida,
Virginia and Illinois and had 48 agreements with chiropractors to develop and
manage 59 Integrated Medical Centers in 11 states.
 
     The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware in November 1994. The
Company's principal executive offices are located at 725 Independence Ave.,
S.E., Washington, DC 20003 and its telephone number is (202) 543-6800. The
Company's web site is: http://www.completewellness.com.

     The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Securities offered
hereby, after deduction of underwriting discounts and other estimated offering
expenses, are estimated to be approximately $4,782,000 (approximately $5,578,050

(1) The amount set forth with respect to each purpose represents the Company's
    current estimate of the approximate amount of the net proceeds that will be
    used for such purpose. However, the Company reserves the right to change the
    amount of such net proceeds that will be used for any purpose to the extent
    that management determines that such change is advisable. Consequently,
    management of the Company will have broad discretion in determining the
    manner in which the net proceeds of the Offering are applied.
 
(2) The notes issued in connection with the Bridge Financing (the "Bridge
    Notes") are in the aggregate principal amount of $1.1 million, bear interest
    at the rate of 12% per annum, and are payable upon the earlier of the
    closing of the Offering or June 30, 1997. The net proceeds from the sale of
    the Bridge Notes were used for the development of additional Integrated
    Medical Centers, for the expenses of this Offering, and for working capital
    and general corporate purposes. Through February 14, 1997, the amount of
    accrued interest to be repaid is approximately $71,000. See "Management's
    Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
    Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources."
 
(3) The Company intends to develop approximately 63 additional Integrated
    Medical Centers (including the 59 for which it had agreements with
    chiropractors as of January 31, 1997) within the 12 months after the date of
    this Prospectus, of which one is expected to be developed in connection with
    a strategic alliance. The average cost to the Company to develop an
    Integrated Medical Center not connected with a strategic alliance is
    approximately $30,000. This cost has consisted of approximately $10,000 for
    the purchase of computer software, legal fees, professional credentialing,
    training, an administrative starter kit, and travel and approximately
    $20,000 (out of a possible $40,000) in the form of a loan. The loan may be
    used for items such as professional salaries, computer hardware, signage,
    and insurance. The Company believes that the average cost to the Company to
    develop an Integrated Medical Center in connection with a strategic alliance
    will be approximately $150,000. These funds are expected to be used for
    leasehold improvements, equipment, professional salaries, information
    systems, and working capital. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
    Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- General."
 
(4) Consists of accrued payroll, accrued expenses, convertible note payable in
    the principal amount of $25,000 (plus accrued interest), and certain other
    indebtedness of the Company.
 
(5) The remaining portion of the net proceeds allocated to working capital will
    be used by the Company to fund operations as required including amounts
    required to pay officers' salaries, professional fees, office-related
    expenses, costs associated with upgrading its management information system,
    and other corporate expenses. The additional net proceeds received from the
    exercise of the Overallotment Option, if any, will be used for working
    capital and general corporate purposes.
 
     The Company anticipates, based on current plans and assumptions relating to
its operations, that the net proceeds of the Offering, together with net cash
from operations, should be sufficient to satisfy the Company's cash requirements
for at least the 12 months after the date of this Prospectus. Proceeds not
immediately required for the purposes described above will be invested in
short-term, investment grade, interest-bearing government obligations.

                                DIVIDEND POLICY
 
     The Company has never declared or paid dividends, and does not intend to
pay any dividends in the foreseeable future on shares of Common Stock. Earnings
of the Company, if any, are expected to be retained for use in expanding the
Company's business. The payment of dividends is within the discretion of the
Board of Directors of the Company and will depend upon the Company's earnings,
if any, capital requirements, financial condition and such other factors as are
considered to be relevant by the Board of Directors from time to time.
 
                                    DILUTION
 
     At September 30, 1996, the Company had a negative net tangible book value
of approximately $572,696 or $0.80 per share of Common Stock. Negative net
tangible book value per share is equal to the Company's total tangible assets
less its total liabilities and minority interest, divided by the total number of
shares of its Common Stock outstanding. After giving effect to (i) the
conversion of the 1,350 shares of Series A Preferred Stock into 145,800 shares
of Common Stock and (ii) the sale of the shares of Common Stock and Warrants
offered hereby and the initial application of the net proceeds therefrom (after
deducting estimated underwriting discounts and other expenses of the Offering),
the pro forma net tangible book value of the Company at September 30, 1996 would
have been $4,209,304 or $2.26 per share of Common Stock, representing an
immediate dilution of $3.74 per share (or approximately 62.3%) to the new
investors, as illustrated by the following table:

     In the event the Over-allotment Option is exercised in full, the pro forma
net tangible book value as of September 30, 1996 would be $5,005,354, or $2.49
per share of Common Stock, which would result in immediate dilution in net
tangible book value to new investors of approximately $3.51 per share.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
GENERAL
 
     The Company was established in November 1994. From its inception until
March 1995 the Company raised funds privately and developed the corporate
infrastructure, protocols, policies and procedures required to commence its plan
to develop multi-disciplinary medical clinics.
 
     In March 1995, the Company began implementing the initial stages of its
business plan. The Company formed Complete Wellness Centers, L.L.C. ("CWC LLC"),
a Delaware limited liability company, as a vehicle for raising capital needed to
open Integrated Medical Centers. The Company is the managing member of CWC LLC
and has a 1% equity interest. See "Certain Transactions." The Company has
obtained irrevocable and permanent voting proxies from the holders of a majority
of ownership interests in CWC LLC. The Company consolidates the financial
statements of CWC LLC in its financial statements.
 
     Pursuant to an agreement entered into in July 1995, CWC LLC purchased
selected assets of a chiropractic practice for the purpose of establishing the
Company's first Integrated Medical Center in conjunction with a newly formed,
wholly-owned subsidiary of CWC LLC, Complete Wellness Medical Center of
Fredericksburg, Inc. ("CWC Fredericksburg"). Operations began at CWC
Fredericksburg on September 1, 1995. Revenue earned at CWC Fredericksburg
through December 31, 1995 was $22,114 and expenses for that period amounted to
$44,232, net of interest income of $86, resulting in a loss from operations of
$22,118.
 
     The Company began pursuing its primary development strategy in early 1996.
This strategy involves entering into an agreement with one or more chiropractors
and their existing chiropractic practices and Admincorps. The chiropractor or
existing chiropractic practice leases the office space and equipment utilized by
the existing chiropractic practice to the Company. The chiropractor then
incorporates the Admincorp, with which task the Company now assists, and causes
the Admincorp to ratify the agreement. In general, the Admincorp assumes
responsibility for the daily management functions of the Integrated Medical
Centers. The Company agrees to furnish the Admincorp certain services, such as
assistance with advertising, other practice development activities, and medical
doctor recruitment, to help the Admincorp perform such daily management
functions. The Company then forms the Medcorp and enters into a long-term
management agreement with the Medcorp to provide certain administrative and
management services. In addition, the Company subleases the existing
chiropractic practice's office space and equipment to the Medcorp. The Medcorp
employs the Affiliated Chiropractor(s) and one or more medical doctors.
Depending on the needs of the patient base, the Medcorp may also employ one or
more other traditional or alternative health care providers.
 
     The Company charges the Medcorp management fees for the goods and services
it provides the Medcorp. Such fees are generally based on a periodic
determination of the fair market value of such goods and services. The Company
also subleases the office space and equipment to the Medcorp for estimated fair
market value. With respect to Integrated Medical Centers that serve patients
covered by any federal or state funded health care program and certain other
Integrated Medical Centers, the management fees are pre-set for one year for
flat dollar amounts that represent the fair market value of the goods and
services the Company directly furnishes the Medcorp and of the services the
Company indirectly furnishes the Medcorp through its arrangement with the
Admincorp. The Admincorp charges the Company a monthly fee equal to the sum of
the management fees and rent that the Company charges the Medcorp, less a
specified fixed amount, however, with respect to certain Integrated Medical
Centers. In general, the Company charges the Admincorp a collective marketing
fee of $200 per month beginning six months after the Integration Date and a
monthly integration fee that is, depending on various factors, 9% to 20% (if the
initial term of the agreement is five years) or 10% to 15% (if the initial term
of the agreement is ten years) of the sum of (i) the management fee and rent
that the Company charges the Medcorp and (ii) the Medcorp's permissible
expenses, until the sum reaches $300,000 to $500,000 in any one year, and 10% of
the sum for the remainder of that year. With respect to Integrated Medical
Centers that serve patients covered by federal or state funded health care
programs and certain other Integrated Medical Centers, the integration fees are
instead for flat dollar amounts equal to estimated fair market value, subject to
a 15% cap. The Company also may charge certain Admincorps an operations fee of
$250 per month, subject in certain cases to delayed or contingent effectiveness.
Except for
 
                                       26
<PAGE>   27
 
the collective marketing and operations fees, however, the fees are simply
accrued, and actual payment of them is not required, unless and until, and then
only to the extent, that the Medcorps collect on their accounts receivable in
excess of certain permitted expenses, such as payroll expenses. If the agreement
with the Admincorp is terminated, the Admincorp is generally entitled to receive
from the Company 80% of the accounts receivable then due the Company from the
Medcorp, less the balance then due the Company from the Admincorp, subject to
the Medcorp collecting on its accounts receivable. In the case of certain
Integrated Medical Centers, however, the Admincorp is entitled to a pro rata
portion of the Medcorp's accounts receivable as of the date of termination, if
and when collected.
 
     The Company's agreements with Affiliated Chiropractors and entities
controlled by them relating to the operation and management of the Integrated
Medical Centers are generally for initial terms of five or ten years. They may
be renewed in five year increments, up to four times, by mutual consent. An
Affiliated Chiropractor may terminate such an agreement if the Company
materially breaches it and, if the breach is correctable, the Company fails to
cure the breach within ten days after written notification. A number of the
agreements, including agreements with respect to at least four of the seven
existing Integrated Medical Centers, are also terminable by the Affiliated
Chiropractor if, for example, the combined revenues of the Integrated Medical
Center and existing chiropractic practice during the first year after a start-up
phase do not exceed 110% of the revenues of the Affiliated Chiropractor's
existing chiropractic practice for the one year preceding the date the
Affiliated Chiropractor agreed in writing to develop the Integrated Medical
Center in conjunction with the Company. The start-up phase is generally three
months following the Integration Date. The loss of a substantial number of such
agreements, or the loss of a substantial number of Affiliated Chiropractors,
would have a material adverse effect on the Company. See "Business -- Agreements
With Affiliated Chiropractors and Other Licensed Practitioners."
 
     The Company currently plans to use this model for Integrated Medical
Centers to be developed pursuant to its expansion strategy, including those in
connection with strategic alliances with health clubs, corporations, government
offices, or other organizations. In the case of a strategic alliance, however,
office space for the Integrated Medical Center would be leased or licensed from
the other party to the strategic alliance rather than from the Affiliated
Chiropractor or his existing chiropractic practice, and the equipment would be
leased or purchased. In this regard, the Company entered into a master license
agreement with Bally Total Fitness Corporation in September 1996 to develop
Integrated Medical Centers within selected Bally Total Fitness Corporation
health clubs throughout the United States. The Company initially plans to
develop an Integrated Medical Center at a Bally Total Fitness Corporation in
White Marsh, Maryland. See "Business -- Expansion Strategy."
 
     As of January 31, 1997, the Company was managing seven Integrated Medical
Centers. The Company ceased operating one Integrated Medical Center and plans to
dissolve the related Medcorp after having terminated its agreement with the
Affiliated Chiropractor and Admincorp for material breach in late January 1997.
The Company anticipates no material adverse financial effect as a result of such
termination. Of the remaining seven Integrated Medical Centers, six were
developed through CWC LLC prior to July 1996. In the future, the Company does
not plan to open any additional Integrated Medical Centers owned directly or
indirectly by CWC LLC, nor does it plan for CWC LLC to raise any additional
capital. See "Certain Transactions."
 
     The Company recognizes all revenue and expenses of the Medcorps formed as
wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company or CWC LLC. The financial results of
the Medcorp organized as a physician-owned professional corporation are not
consolidated in the Company's financial statements. Rather, the Company
recognizes only the fees derived by the Company from that Medcorp.
 
     The Company integrated many of its existing Integrated Medical Centers
within a few weeks after the Affiliated Chiropractors entered into agreements
with the Company to develop such Integrated Medical Centers. The Company is now
taking approximately four months to integrate clinics due to the substantial
number of agreements it has pending with chiropractors to develop Integrated
Medical Centers.
 
     The cost to the Company to develop an Integrated Medical Center not
connected with a strategic alliance has averaged $30,000. This cost has
consisted of approximately $10,000 for the purchase of such things as
 
                                       27
<PAGE>   28
 
computer software, legal fees, professional credentialing, training, an
administrative starter kit and travel, and approximately $20,000 (out of a
possible $40,000) in the form of a loan. The loan may be used for items such as
professional salaries, computer hardware, signage and insurance. The loans are
evidenced by promissory notes, bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum, are
secured by the assets of the Medcorps and Admincorps, are guaranteed by the
Affiliated Chiropractors pursuant to a separate guaranty, and are payable within
five years. The Company believes that the average cost to the Company to develop
an Integrated Medical Center in connection with a strategic alliance will be
approximately $150,000. These funds are expected to be used for leasehold
improvements, equipment, professional salaries, information systems and working
capital.
 
     The Company may from time to time advance additional funds to the Medcorps
to fund working capital requirements, although it has not done so to date. If
the Company does make such an advance, the advance will bear interest (the
current rate being 10% per annum), will be secured by such collateral as the
Company deems appropriate, and will be repayable before the expiration of the
initial term of the Company's agreement with the Affiliated Chiropractor and the
Admincorp.
 
     The Company intends to develop approximately 63 additional Integrated
Medical Centers (including the 59 for which it has agreements with chiropractors
as of January 31, 1997) within 12 months after the date of this Prospectus, of
which one is expected to be developed in connection with a strategic alliance.
However, there can be no assurance that the Company will develop the Integrated
Medical Centers with respect to which it had agreements with chiropractors as of
January 31, 1997, will be able to identify and recruit a sufficient number of
additional chiropractors, or will have access to a sufficient number of
locations in connection with a strategic alliance, or that the average cost to
the Company to develop Integrated Medical Centers will not be greater than those
discussed above.
 
     The Integrated Medical Centers developed prior to the date of this
Prospectus were financed by the issuance of the Company's notes, shares of
Common Stock, and shares of preferred stock, and by the sale of membership
interests in CWC LLC. The Integrated Medical Centers intended to be developed
within 12 months after the date of this Prospectus are expected to be financed
by a portion of the net proceeds of the Offering. See "Use of Proceeds."
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to nine months ended September 30,
1995
 
     Revenue.  During the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and September 30,
1995, the Company had total revenue of $873,282 and $8,618, respectively. At
September 30, 1995, the Company managed only one Integrated Medical Center,
which began operations in September 1995. The increase of $864,664 was due
primarily to the addition of seven Integrated Medical Centers after September
1995. Two Integrated Medical Centers accounted for $655,228 of the $873,282 of
total revenue at September 30, 1996.
 
     Salary and Consulting Costs.  During the nine months ended September 30,
1996 and September 30, 1995, the Company incurred salary and consulting costs of
$249,293 and $59,283, respectively. The increase of $190,010 was due to an
increase of $171,787 in costs resulting from the hiring of additional employees,
an increase of $4,987 in compensation expense resulting from the grant of stock
options the fair market value of which exceeded their exercise price, and an
increase of $13,236 resulting from consulting fees in connection with the
development of corporate infrastructure and the operation of Integrated Medical
Centers.
 
     Management Fees.  During the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and
September 30, 1995, the Company incurred management fees of $438,948 and $4,146,
respectively. These are fees that are paid to the Affiliated Chiropractors'
management companies for managing the day-to-day operations of the Integrated
Medical Centers. The fees are paid when the accounts receivable of the Medcorps
are collected by the Medcorps. The increase of $434,802 was due primarily to the
addition of seven Integrated Medical Centers after September 1995.
 
     Rent.  During the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and September 30,
1995, the Company incurred rent expenses of $160,988 and $400, respectively.
Rent consists of amounts paid for office space and certain equipment by the
Company and the Medcorps. Rent for space and equipment for the Integrated
 
                                       28
<PAGE>   29
 
Medical Centers is paid when the accounts receivable of the Medcorps are
collected by the Medcorps. The increase of $160,588 was due primarily to the
addition of seven Integrated Medical Centers after September 1995.
 
     Advertising and Marketing.  During the nine months ended September 30, 1996
and September 30, 1995, the Company incurred advertising and marketing expenses
of $36,828 and $11,909, respectively. The increase of $24,919 was attributable
primarily to additional national advertising for marketing and recruitment
purposes.
 
     General and Administrative.  During the nine months ended September 30,
1996 and September 30, 1995, the Company incurred general and administrative
expenses of $607,770 and $28,818, respectively. The increase of $578,952 was due
primarily to the addition of seven Integrated Medical Centers after September
1995 and consists of an increase of (i) $95,320 in accounting costs, (ii)
$73,963 in legal costs, (iii) $12,790 in employment agency fees, (iv) $311,879
in various costs, such as bad debt reserves, travel and entertainment,
telephone, and insurance, and (v) $85,000 in costs attributable to the Bridge
Financing and the Offering.
 
     Depreciation and Amortization.  During the nine months ended September 30,
1996 and September 30, 1995, the Company incurred depreciation and amortization
expense of $24,598 and $1,623, respectively. The increase of $22,975 resulted
from the addition of fixed assets, primarily computer equipment, which tend to
have depreciable lives of five years or less.
 
     Net Interest Income (Expense).  During the nine months ended September 30,
1996 and September 30, 1995, the Company had net interest expense of $19,566 and
net interest income of $483, respectively. The $20,049 increase in net interest
expense was attributable primarily to an increase of $21,700 in interest payable
on notes issued in connection with the Bridge Financing, an increase of $2,516
in interest payable on a note issued in connection with the acquisition of
assets for use at the first Integrated Medical Center developed by the Company,
and offset by an increase of $4,167 in interest income.
 
Year ended December 31, 1995 compared to year ended December 31, 1994
 
     During the year ended December 31, 1994 the Company incurred a net loss of
$1,400. No revenues were generated during 1994. The Company was not formed until
November 1994, so a comparison with the year ended December 31, 1995 is not
meaningful. The Company began operations in January 1995 and opened its first
Integrated Medical Center in September 1995. During the year ended December 31,
1995 the Company had total revenue of $22,114. This revenue consisted of patient
revenue from one Integrated Medical Center, which began operations in September
1995. During the year ended December 31, 1995 the Company incurred salary and
consulting expenses of $93,131, management fees of $29,669, rent expense of
$4,501, advertising and marketing expenses of $25,821, general and
administrative expenses of $253,024, and depreciation and amortization expense
of $6,490. This resulted in a net loss of $195,889 after taking $194,457 of
minority interest into consideration.
 
SEASONALITY
 
     The Company believes that the patient volumes at its Integrated Medical
Centers are not significantly affected by seasonality.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
     The Company has experienced net losses, negative cash flow, a deficit in
working capital, and an accumulated deficit each month since its inception. For
the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the nine months ended September 30,
1996 the Company had incurred a net loss of $195,889 and of $520,950,
respectively. At September 30, 1996, the Company had a deficit in working
capital of $434,041, and an accumulated deficit of $718,239. Net cash used in
operations for the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 was $252,114 and $704,652, respectively. Negative cash flow
for each period was attributable primarily to net losses in each of the periods
and increases in accounts receivable net of accounts payable and other current
liabilities. For the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the nine
 
                                       29
<PAGE>   30
 
months ended September 30, 1996, the Company used $38,814 and $184,362,
respectively, for purchases of equipment.
 
     From November 1994 to September 1996 development costs, capital
expenditures and working capital needs of the Company have been financed through
the issuance of notes, shares of Common Stock, and shares of preferred stock of
the Company, and the sale of membership interests in CWC LLC.
 
     During 1995 the Company issued 1,350 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for
$100 per share. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into 108
shares (an aggregate of 145,800 shares) of Common Stock upon the closing of a
public offering. The Company raised $135,000 as a result of this issuance. The
proceeds were used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
 
     In November 1995, the Company issued $39,730 in aggregate principal amount
of promissory notes and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 13,243 shares of
Common Stock at an exercise price of $.003 per share. The warrants are
exercisable for a period of five years commencing November 1996. The notes have
been repaid or converted into membership interests in CWC LLC.
 
     During 1995 and 1996, CWC LLC sold an aggregate of $665,000 of Class A
Units. The Company acquired 1% of the membership interests of CWC LLC. The net
equity of the other investors accounts for the minority interest shown in the
Company's consolidated financial statements. See "Certain Transactions."
 
     In connection with the sale of the Class A Units, certain state
notification of sale requirements were not complied with on a timely basis. CWC
LLC offered to rescind the sale of membership interests to affected investors,
and all such investors rejected the offer. Exemption from registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, is claimed pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof.
 
     In connection with the acquisition of assets used to establish CWC
Fredericksburg, CWC LLC issued a note in the principal amount of $25,000 that
bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum, is payable on July 17, 2000, is
secured by the assets of CWC Fredericksburg, and, at the option of the holder,
is convertible into membership interests of CWC LLC in certain circumstances.
The Company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds of the Offering to
repay the note plus accrued interest. See "Use of Proceeds."
 
     In August 1996, the Company completed the Bridge Financing pursuant to
which it issued (i) an aggregate of $1.1 million principal amount of secured
promissory notes (the "Bridge Notes") that bear interest at the rate of 12% per
annum, are payable upon the earlier of the closing of the Offering or June 30,
1997, and are secured by substantially all of the Company's assets and (ii)
warrants entitling the holders to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock
determined by dividing the principal amount of the Bridge Notes by the price per
share of Common Stock offered hereby (the "Bridge Warrants"). The Company has
agreed that the Bridge Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Bridge Warrants would be included in the registration statement
of which this Prospectus forms a part. A total of 183,333 shares of Common Stock
will be issuable upon exercise of the Bridge Warrants at an exercise price of
$.003 per share. The Company intends to use a portion of the proceeds of this
Offering to repay the entire principal amount of and accrued interest on the
Bridge Notes. See "Use of Proceeds." Proceeds of the Bridge Financing were used
for the development of additional Integrated Medical Centers, working capital,
and general corporate purposes, and certain costs attributable to the Offering.
The Company also issued a warrant to purchase 3,333 shares of Common Stock to a
broker-dealer who acted as a placement agent for a portion of the Bridge
Financing. The fair value of the lender and broker/dealer warrants, $5,920, was
recognized as a discount on the loan of which $1,960 was amortized through
September 30, 1996.
 
     The Company intends to develop approximately 63 additional Integrated
Medical Centers (including the 59 it had agreements with chiropractors to
develop as of January 31, 1997) within 12 months after the date of this
Prospectus, including one in connection with a strategic alliance. The average
cost to the Company to develop an Integrated Medical Center not connected with a
strategic alliance is approximately $30,000. The Company believes the average
cost to the Company to develop an Integrated Medical Center in connection with a
strategic alliance will be approximately $150,000. There can be no assurance,
however, that the Company will develop the Integrated Medical Centers with
respect to which it had agreements with chiropractors as of January 31, 1997,
will be able to identify and recruit a sufficient number of additional
 
                                       30
<PAGE>   31
 
chiropractors, that it will have access to a sufficient number of locations in
connection with a strategic alliance, or that the average costs to the Company
to develop Integrated Medical Centers will not be greater than those mentioned
above. The Company intends to finance its expansion strategy with a portion of
the net proceeds of this Offering. In addition, with a portion of the net
proceeds of this Offering, the Company intends to upgrade its management
information system. Management believes that the net proceeds of this Offering
together with net cash from operations will be sufficient to finance the
Company's activities for at least 12 months following the date of this
Prospectus; however, there can be no assurance that such net proceeds and cash
from operations will be sufficient to finance the Company's activities for such
period. See "Risk Factors -- Possible Need for Additional Financing," "Use of
Proceeds," and "-- General."
 
     After the completion of this Offering, the Company intends to lease
approximately 3,000 to 5,000 square feet of space for its executive offices in
Montgomery County, Maryland. The Company has received a low interest rate loan
commitment in the amount of $45,000 from the Montgomery County Economic
Development Fund in order to defray its relocation costs. The loan is to bear
interest at the rate of 7% per annum with a ten year amortization, with payment
deferred until December 31, 1997. The loan is to be secured by the Company's
capital assets. The loan will be converted to a grant if the Company generates
more than 50 jobs and establishes a new Integrated Medical Center in Montgomery
County by the end of 1997. The loan commitment expires on March 31, 1997. See
"Business -- Properties."
 
NET OPERATING LOSSES
 
     The Company has net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax
purposes of approximately $643,000 which expire in 2010. A valuation allowance
of approximately $288,000 has been established to offset any benefit from the
net operating loss carryforward, as it cannot be determined when or if the
Company will be able to utilize the net operating losses. These carryforwards
may be significantly limited under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, as a result of ownership changes resulting from this Offering and other
equity offerings of the Company.
 
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
 
     In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which provides an alternative
to APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, in accounting
for stock-based compensation issued to employees. The statement allows for a
fair value based method of accounting for employee stock options and similar
equity instruments. However, for companies that continue to account for
stock-based compensation arrangements under APB Opinion No. 25, Statement No.
123 requires disclosure of the pro forma effect on net income and earnings per
share of its fair value based accounting for those arrangements. These
disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1995, or upon initial adoption of the statement, if earlier. The Company has
elected to continue to account for stock-based compensation arrangements under
APB Opinion No. 25, and accordingly recognizes compensation expense for the
stock option grants as the difference between the fair value and the exercise
price at the grant date but will provide the required pro forma disclosures in
the December 31, 1996 consolidated financial statements.

                                    BUSINESS
 
GENERAL
 
     The Company develops multi-disciplinary medical centers ("Integrated
Medical Centers") and furnishes certain support services to such facilities. The
Integrated Medical Centers combine, in one practice, at the same location,
traditional health care providers, such as physicians and physical therapists,
and alternative health care providers, such as chiropractors, acupuncturists and
massage therapists. The Company's objective is to become a nationally recognized
developer and manager of Integrated Medical Centers. At January 31, 1997, the
Company was managing 7 Integrated Medical Centers in the states of Florida,
Virginia and Illinois and had 48 agreements with chiropractors to develop and
manage 59 Integrated Medical Centers in 11 states.
 
     The Company develops Integrated Medical Centers generally through
affiliations with chiropractors (the "Affiliated Chiropractors") and their
existing chiropractic practices. Management endeavors to enter into an agreement
with a chiropractor who has an existing chiropractic practice in a convenient
location and who is an individual who has demonstrated the entrepreneurial
skills to build a practice. The existing practice is used as a base for the
development of an Integrated Medical Center. Typically, the Company establishes
a new Integrated Medical Center by forming a medical corporation ("Medcorp"),
which is a general business corporation wholly-owned by the Company or a
professional corporation that is physician-owned, depending upon its
interpretation of applicable state law. In some cases, one Medcorp encompasses
two or more Integrated Medical Centers. The Affiliated Chiropractor establishes
an Admincorp which contracts with the Company to provide day-to-day management
of the Integrated Medical Center.
 
     The total expenditures associated with the use of alternative medicine in
1990 amounted to approximately $13.7 billion, according to a report published by
the New England Journal of Medicine in 1993. In October 1996, The Wall Street
Journal reported that the alternative medical services market has grown to
approximately $50 billion. Management believes that the growing popularity and
acceptance of alternative medicine has contributed to the Company's growth. By
integrating alternative medicine with traditional medicine, the Company is
providing a choice for the consumer in one location as well as the opportunity
to choose complementary traditional and alternative medical treatments overseen
by a medical doctor, which the Company believes alleviates some of the concerns
of patients and third party payors.
 
     The Company's operating strategy is to (i) provide consumers the
opportunity to obtain, and the convenience of obtaining, under the supervision
of a medical doctor, complementary traditional and alternative medical
treatments in one location, (ii) facilitate the efficient provision of high
quality patient care through the use of credentialing standards and standardized
protocols, (iii) establish Integrated Medical Centers in local and regional
clusters for purposes of obtaining managed care contracts, (iv) assist in
marketing the Integrated Medical Centers regionally and nationally on a
coordinated basis and furnish them management, marketing, financing and other
advice and support, and (v) achieve operating efficiencies and economies of
scale through the implementation of an upgraded management information system,
the rotation of health care providers among Integrated Medical Centers,
increased purchasing power with suppliers, and standardized protocols,
administrative systems, and procedures.
 
     The Company's expansion strategy is to develop additional Integrated
Medical Centers in local or regional groups or clusters. The Company plans to
continue to develop Integrated Medical Centers through affiliations with
chiropractors and their existing chiropractic practices and intends to begin
development of Integrated Medical Centers in connection with strategic alliances
with health clubs, corporations, government offices, or other organizations, in
which cases the Integrated Medical Centers would be developed in locations such
as a health club or office building. The Company regularly explores new
opportunities related to integrated medical services and intends to negotiate
arrangements with or acquire businesses that provide services ancillary to the
provision of integrated medical services, such as services relating to medical
diagnostics or billing systems. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company
has no understandings, commitments or agreements with respect to any
acquisitions.
 
     The Company itself is not authorized or qualified to engage in any activity
which may be construed or be deemed to constitute the practice of medicine but
is an independent supplier of non-medical services only. The
 
                                       32

physicians and chiropractors are responsible for all aspects of the practice of
medicine and chiropractic and the delivery of medical and chiropractic services
(subject to certain business guidelines determined in conjunction with the
Company), including but not limited to diagnosis, treatment, referrals and
therapy. In connection with any managed care contracts it may arrange on behalf
of the Integrated Medical Centers, the Company will need to manage the
Integrated Medical Centers' utilization of medical services to patients. If
under such contracts, the Integrated Medical Centers accept responsibility for
the treatment of their patients by specialists or at hospitals, the Company will
also need to manage the practitioners' referral patterns with respect to
specialty physician and hospital services. The Company would only do so,
however, for payment purposes and would not, through such process, interfere
with the professional judgment of a medical practitioner or prohibit a
practitioner from providing any medical services.
 
INDUSTRY BACKGROUND
 
     The integration of traditional and alternative medicine is becoming more
popular in the United States. In 1992, Congress required the National Institutes
of Health to establish The Office of Alternative Medicine, the purpose of which
was and remains to facilitate the evaluation of alternative medicine treatments
to determine their effectiveness and help integrate them into traditional
medicine. More recently, the Trends Research Institute of Rhinebeck, New York
has identified the integration of traditional and alternative medicine as one of
the top ten trends of the coming decade.
 
     This trend is being reflected by health care insurers and legislative
initiatives. A U.S. health insurance company offered coverage for alternative
medical treatment for the first time in 1992, and the Company believes that
presently at least 15 insurers cover various aspects of alternative medicine. On
January 1, 1996, Washington became the first state to require health insurers to
pay for alternative ways of treating illnesses. In addition, seven states have
passed medical access laws that prevent state medical boards from disciplining a
doctor solely because a treatment is considered unacceptable by the mainstream
medical community and, in 1995, Congress held hearings on a bill that would
allow a licensed health care practitioner to provide any method of treatment
requested by a patient, whether or not the treatment had been approved by the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
 
     The Company believes that integrated medicine draws upon the strengths of
each discipline. For example, some of the strengths of traditional medicine are
its sophisticated ability to diagnose disease and its array of powerful drugs
and surgical procedures to treat emergency conditions and advanced stages of
illness. Alternative medicine emphasizes wellness and prevention and addresses
illness by identifying and trying to remove the causes, often found in the
patient's lifestyle habits. In addition, the Company believes that alternative
medicine is becoming more widely accepted by the medical community and the
insurance industry as a complement to traditional medicine because of the
growing realization of the quality of care given and its cost-effectiveness. The
Company has chosen chiropractic as the alternative medicine discipline that
serves as the base from which Integrated Medical Centers are developed. The
Company believes that chiropractic care is the largest component of alternative
medicine expenditures in the United States.
 
     The Company has selected health clubs as the initial type of organization
with which to develop Integrated Medical Centers in connection with strategic
alliances. The Company believes that members of health clubs tend to be
interested in fitness and wellness, both of which are central themes of
alternative medicine. According to the International Health, Racquet and Sports
Club Association, there were approximately 13,300 health club facilities in the
United States in 1996.
 
OPERATING STRATEGY
 
     The objective of the Company's operating strategy is to facilitate the
provision of a high level of traditional and alternative medical care to
patients in a convenient, cost-effective manner. Key elements of the Company's
operating strategy are:
 
     One Location.  The Company seeks to provide consumers the opportunity to
obtain, and the convenience of obtaining, under the supervision of a medical
doctor, complementary traditional and alternative medical
 
                                       33
<PAGE>   34
 
treatments in one location. The Company believes that alternative medicine is
growing in popularity, and that supervision of treatment by a medical doctor may
alleviate some patient and third party payor concerns.
 
     Facilitate the Efficient Provision of High Quality Care.  All health care
services at an Integrated Medical Center are provided by health care
practitioners under the supervision of a licensed medical doctor. The Company
seeks qualified and reputable medical doctors. The Company further seeks to
facilitate the efficient provision of high quality care through the use of
credentialing and standardized protocols. Additionally, in many states, only
medical doctors are permitted to order certain laboratory and radiological
tests. The Company believes that supervision by a medical doctor and a medical
doctor's access to more sophisticated diagnostic testing services will enhance
the quality of patient care.
 
     Establish Networks of Integrated Medical Centers to Obtain Managed Care
Contracts.  A key component of the Company's operating strategy is to attract
both health care practitioners and managed care payors. The Company seeks to
attract health care practitioners by, among other things, providing them greater
access to managed care contracts than they could attain independently and
relieving them of certain administrative responsibilities. The Company intends
for its local and regional clusters of Integrated Medical Centers to attract
managed care contractors by providing single, integrated points of market entry,
thereby enabling managed care payors to more efficiently contract for the
provision of health care services for patient populations. The Company has
recently begun to credential its licensed health care practitioners through a
credentialing concern accredited by the National Committee for Quality Assurance
(the "NCQA"), is drafting new and reviewing for improvement its standardized
protocols and plans to develop and implement a utilization management program,
all for the purpose of attracting managed care contracts.
 
     Provide Advice and Assistance.  Although it has not yet done so, the
Company intends to develop and implement advertising and marketing programs for
the Integrated Medical Centers primarily at the regional and national levels,
utilizing television, radio, and print advertising as well as internal marketing
promotions. The name of each Integrated Medical Center includes the words
"Complete Wellness Medical Center(SM)." Each Integrated Medical Center displays
signage bearing such words, or the words "Complete Wellness Center." The
Company's goal is to achieve "brand name" awareness of the Integrated Medical
Centers. There is no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to
realize this goal. Each Medcorp is required to pay a flat monthly fee to finance
the Company's advertising and marketing programs beginning, generally, six
months after its Integration Date. An individual Integrated Medical Center may
also advertise its services locally, and the Company provides advice in that
regard upon request. The Company also agrees to furnish the Integrated Medical
Centers management services, financing and other advice and support. By doing
so, the Company seeks to relieve providers, to a limited extent, from certain
burdens of administering and managing a medical practice.
 
     Achieve Operating Efficiencies and Economies of Scale.  The Company intends
to organize its Integrated Medical Centers into regional groups or clusters to
utilize employees and serve patients more effectively, to leverage management
and other resources, to increase purchasing power with suppliers, and to
facilitate the development of networks of affiliated physicians, chiropractors,
and other health care practitioners. The Company has rotated some physicians and
intends to rotate physicians and other health care practitioners among
Integrated Medical Centers. The Company believes that this will reduce the
number of practitioners otherwise needed, and thereby help contain salary costs.
In addition, the Company has adopted and is looking to improve and develop
certain standardized protocols, administrative systems, and procedures. The
Company intends to upgrade its management information system.
 
                                       34
<PAGE>   35
 
EXPANSION STRATEGY
 
     The Company plans to continue to develop Integrated Medical Centers
primarily by affiliating with chiropractors and their existing chiropractic
practices. Management endeavors to enter into agreements with chiropractors who
are located in convenient locations, and who have demonstrated the
entrepreneurial skills to build a practice. The Company believes that such
chiropractors will consider affiliation with Integrated Medical Centers to be
attractive because they may have greater access to managed care contracts in the
future through the Company and its network of Integrated Medical Centers, will
be relieved of certain administrative burdens, and may have the opportunity to
increase their practice income. An Integrated Medical Center is usually
established at the same location as the existing chiropractic practice, although
in some instances it might be established at a new location.
 
     The Company also plans to develop Integrated Medical Centers in connection
with strategic alliances with health clubs, corporations, government offices, or
other organizations. In such cases, the Integrated Medical Center would be
established at a location (such as a health club or office building) provided,
leased or licensed to the Company by the other party to the strategic alliance.
The Company would in turn seek to affiliate with a chiropractor who has an
existing chiropractic practice located near the Integrated Medical Center. The
chiropractor would maintain his or her existing practice at its existing
location, but would arrange to see patients at the Integrated Medical Center as
well. If the Company were unable to affiliate with a chiropractor with an
existing practice located nearby, a chiropractor without an existing practice
would be hired to work on site at the Integrated Medical Center.
 
     In this regard, in September 1996 the Company entered into a master license
agreement (the "License Agreement") with Bally Total Fitness Corporation
("Bally's"), with respect to the development of Integrated Medical Centers
within selected Bally's health clubs throughout the United States. Bally's
represents itself as the largest commercial operator of fitness centers in the
United States, with approximately 320 centers concentrated in 27 states and 4.2
million members. Pursuant to the License Agreement, the Company will pay Bally's
a license fee equal to the greater of $15 ($10 for the first year) per square
foot of the space used by the Integrated Medical Center or 12.5% of the fees the
Company receives for its services to each Integrated Medical Center the Company
develops at a Bally's Total Fitness Center. The initial term of the license
agreement is five years, with five one-year mutual renewals. Bally's may
terminate the agreement as to an Integrated Medical Center after September 16,
1998 absent the periodic payment of certain minimum license fees with respect to
that Integrated Medical Center. The first Integrated Medical Center to be
developed by the Company at a Bally's Total Fitness Center is expected to be
located in White Marsh, Maryland. If that Integrated Medical Center meets the
Company's expectations, the Company expects to develop additional Integrated
Medical Centers at other Bally's Total Fitness Centers. In such event, the
Company expects to select Bally's Total Fitness Centers located near other
Integrated Medical Centers. Integrated Medical Centers neither will, absent
revision of the terms of the License Agreement, be developed pursuant to the
License Agreement in certain states nor will, regardless of the location, treat
patients covered by any federal or state health care program.
 
     Additionally, in November 1996 the Company signed a non-binding letter of
intent with Complete Management, Inc. ("CMI"), pursuant to which it is
contemplated that the Company and CMI will form a joint venture to develop
Integrated Medical Centers at selected Bally's Total Fitness Centers or other
health clubs in the greater New York City metropolitan area. The letter of
intent contemplates that CMI, upon execution of a definitive joint venture
agreement, will be issued warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock at an exercise price equal to 120% of the initial public offering
price per share. The Company cannot predict whether the letter of intent will
lead to a definitive agreement or whether the terms of any such definitive
agreement will be the same as the terms contemplated by the letter of intent.
The letter of intent expires on February 28, 1997 or such other date upon which
the Company and CMI may agree. New York health care regulatory requirements are
extremely restrictive and prohibit many arrangements permitted in other states.
For example, the provision of many services, such as physical therapy and
occupational therapy, may subject a facility to New York's lengthy hospital
licensing regulations. In addition, New York prohibits publicly held companies
from owning health care facilities, and further prohibits companies from
entering into management contracts with certain health care facilities.
 
                                       35
<PAGE>   36
 
     The cost to the Company to develop an Integrated Medical Center not
connected with a strategic alliance has averaged $30,000. This cost has
consisted of approximately $10,000 for the purchase of such things as computer
software, legal fees, professional credentialing, training, an administrative
starter kit and travel, and approximately $20,000 (out of a possible $40,000) in
the form of a loan. The loan may be used for items such as professional
salaries, computer hardware, signage and insurance. The loans are evidenced by a
promissory note, bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum, are secured by the
assets of the Medcorps, are guaranteed by the Affiliated Chiropractor pursuant
to a separate guaranty, and are payable within five years. The Company believes
that the average cost to the Company to develop an Integrated Medical Center in
connection with a strategic alliance will be approximately $150,000. These funds
are expected to be used for leasehold improvements, equipment, professional
salaries, information systems, and working capital.
 
     The Company anticipates that its Integrated Medical Centers will expand
their services in two phases. The first phase involves the medical treatment of,
principally, neuromusculoskeletal conditions and, to a lesser extent, the
provision of primary care services and wellness and weight loss programs to
patients referred to the Integrated Medical Center by the Affiliated
Chiropractor for reasons of medical necessity and, in the case of certain
Integrated Medical Centers, of any new patients to the facility. This is
accomplished by utilizing one or more part-time medical doctors and, depending
on the market, other providers such as a physical therapist or massage
therapist. The second phase is generally expected to begin after 12 to 24 months
of operation, depending on an Integrated Medical Center's financial results. It
would involve utilizing one or more medical doctors on a full time basis. Each
operating Integrated Medical Center is still in the first phase.
 
     The Company intends to facilitate the growth of the Integrated Medical
Centers by arranging for the provision of ancillary services, such as medical
imaging, rehabilitation, diagnostics, and weight management either by contract
with third party providers or by acquisition of other businesses. The Company
believes that the ability to offer ancillary services will make the Integrated
Medical Centers more attractive to patients, health care practitioners, and
third party payors. The acquisition or other provision of certain of such other
services may, however, trigger additional licensing requirements. As of the date
of this Prospectus, the Company has no understandings, commitments, or
agreements with respect to any acquisitions.
 
     The Company may from time to time take advantage of opportunities that are
related to the integration of traditional and alternative medicine that do not
fit into its expansion strategy. In this regard, in November 1996 the Company
entered into a management subcontract agreement (the "IPM Agreement") with
Integrated Physicians Management Co., LLC ("IPM") to manage for IPM nine medical
clinics integrated by IPM, subject to the approval of the clinics. The clinics
are located in Illinois (one), Nebraska (five), Wisconsin (two), and Texas
(one). In general, IPM's fees under its contracts with the medical clinics it
integrated are either 10% of a clinic's gross collections for all services or
20% of its gross collections for medical services only. The Company is to be
paid 80% of the fees IPM would have been paid in the absence of the IPM
Agreement. The Company will not be required to provide and will not provide
services to the clinics until the management agreements between IPM and the
clinics are deemed by the Company's special health care regulatory counsel to be
in compliance with applicable federal and state laws. The clinics are not
Integrated Medical Centers, and do not operate under the Complete Wellness
Medical Center(SM) name. The Company intends, however, to attempt to have them
become Integrated Medical Centers in the future. As of the date of this
Prospectus, one clinic had consented to the IPM Agreement. The others had not
yet made a decision.
 
     To date, the Company has augmented the efforts of its management and staff
through consulting arrangements with various persons and entities. These
consultants have directed their efforts primarily toward identifying potential
chiropractors and chiropractic practices with which to affiliate and toward
providing assistance with the integration process. In November 1996, the Company
entered into a five year consulting agreement (the "Kats Agreement") with Kats
Management, LLC ("Kats Management"), a company under common control with IPM
that has represented to the Company that it provides management and consulting
services to over 600 chiropractic clinics. Under the Kats Agreement, Kats
Management agreed to advise and assist the Company in (i) identifying and
negotiating with chiropractors and their existing chiropractic practices with
which the Company might affiliate for the purpose of developing additional
Integrated Medical Centers and (ii) developing Integrated Medical Centers. The
Company agreed to pay Kats Management for
 
                                       36
<PAGE>   37
 
each agreement entered into by the Company with a chiropractor identified by
Kats Management (i) a commission equal to 20% of the Company's integration fee
under such agreement during the initial term of the agreement (see
"-- Agreements With Affiliated Chiropractors and Other Licensed
Practitioners -- Integrated Medical Center Management and Security Agreement"),
(ii) a fixed fee not to exceed $350, and (iii) a bonus of $10,000 for each of
the first five such agreements and $5,000 for each of the next 25 such
agreements. In addition, the Company agreed to grant Kats Management, subject to
a vesting schedule, nonqualified options to purchase 11,000 shares of Common
Stock under the Company's 1994 Stock Option Plan at an exercise price equal to
75% of the initial public offering price per share. See "Management --
Employment Agreements." The Company has neither paid nor will pay the
percentage-based compensation under the Kats Agreement pending review of the
agreement with counsel. The Company expects to continue using consultants after
the consummation of this Offering. See "Certain Transactions."
 
THE COMPANY'S INTEGRATED MEDICAL CENTERS
 
     Since the Company commenced operations in January 1995, it has developed
its current business primarily through the establishment of affiliations with
chiropractors and their existing chiropractic practices. As of January 31, 1997,
the Company was managing 7 Integrated Medical Centers. In addition, the Company
has entered into 48 agreements with chiropractors and their existing
chiropractic practices to develop an additional 59 Integrated Medical Centers,
and is planning to develop one Integrated Medical Center pursuant to the License
Agreement with Bally's in White Marsh, Maryland.
 
     The Integrated Medical Centers occupy, on average, approximately 1,200 to
1,500 square feet of space, typically under a lease or sublease, in an office
building or shopping center. The Company expects that most Integrated Medical
Centers located in health clubs in connection with a strategic alliance will
occupy approximately 800 to 1,200 square feet of space. The Company prefers to
have locations at ground level to make the Integrated Medical Center as easily
accessible to patients as possible, but may not always be successful in securing
such locations. For Integrated Medical Centers developed in the same location as
an existing chiropractic practice, the Company may make suggestions concerning
office decor and layout, but does not seek to impose uniform design standards.
For Integrated Medical Centers developed in connection with a strategic
alliance, the Company expects to have a greater degree of uniformity in design
and layout, but must retain flexibility to work with the space which is
available. All Integrated Medical Centers operate under a name that includes the
words "Complete Wellness Medical Center,(SM)" and have signage bearing such
words, or the words "Complete Wellness Center".
 
     The Company has applied for federal servicemark registration for the mark
"Complete Wellness Medical Center(SM)" as well as the mark "Complete Wellness
Centers(SM)". In November 1996, the Company received non-final office actions
from the Patent & Trademark Office ("PTO") noting certain objections to the
applications which must be resolved before the registrations will be issued.
Although the PTO initially refused registration of the marks on the Principal
Register on the grounds that the marks are "merely descriptive," it noted that
the Company may amend its applications to seek registration on the Supplemental
Register. The Company has until May 1997 to respond to these office actions. It
may present arguments to overcome the initial refusal to register the marks on
the Principal Register, or it may agree to amend the applications to the
Supplemental Register. No conflicting marks owned by other parties were cited by
the PTO against the applications as a bar to registration.
 
     The Integrated Medical Centers co-exist with the Affiliated Chiropractor's
existing chiropractic practices, the two generally operating within and
throughout the same office space at the same time. New patients, patients who
have completed their prescribed treatments and who are thus in need of a review
of their status, and patients covered by Medicare or Medicaid are scheduled for
times when a medical doctor is scheduled to be present at the Integrated Medical
Center.
 
     The medical doctors can generally use existing chiropractic equipment and
examination tables. Only minor equipment and supply adjustments and additions
are necessary for medical doctors to treat neuromuscular skeletal conditions.
Chiropractic offices are typically equipped with otoscopes, opthalmoscopes, and
blood pressure cuffs. Minor additions are mostly for nondurable goods such as
latex gloves, alcohol swabs and
 
                                       37
<PAGE>   38
 
paper rolls. More equipment and supplies are required, however, for the
provision of general practitioner services. The Integrated Medical Center must
acquire, for example, an electrocardiogram machine and equipment for use in
drawing blood, exercise stress testing, and trigger point injections. When the
services of a physical therapist are added, it may become necessary to add more
equipment, such as free weights, a hydrocolator (a machine to heat hot packs),
and certain other staple items. Equipment acquired after the opening date of an
Integrated Medical Center is paid for by the Medcorp or the Admincorp, depending
on the type and use of equipment.
 
     The type of ancillary staff added and type of equipment used can vary from
one Integrated Medical Center to another depending upon the patient base. If an
Integrated Medical Center is located in an area with large numbers of clerical
workers/typists, a common problem might be carpal tunnel syndrome. The
Integrated Medical Center might thus have equipment necessary to treat that
condition. If an Integrated Medical Center is located in an area with a high
concentration of senior citizens, a common problem might be stroke. The
Integrated Medical Center might thus provide the services of a neurologist
and/or of a physiatrist, a medical doctor with specialty training in physical
medicine, including rehabilitation for stroke victims.
 
     The names and addresses of the six operating Medcorps and the locations of
their respective Integrated Medical Centers are: (1) Complete Wellness Medical
Center of Paula Drive, Dunedin, Inc., 507 South Paula Drive, Dunedin, FL 34698;
(2) Complete Wellness Medical Center of 4th Street, St. Petersburg, Inc., 8730
4th Street, St. Petersburg, FL 33702 and 2817 West Virginia Avenue, Tampa, FL
33607; (3) Complete Wellness Medical Center of East Main Street, Carbondale,
P.C., 205 E. Main Street, Carbondale, IL 62901; (4) Complete Wellness Medical
Center of Centreville, Inc., 14215 E. Centreville Square, Suite J, Centreville,
VA 22020; (5) Complete Wellness Medical Center of Dale City, Inc., 4205 Dale
Blvd., Dale City, VA 22193; and (6) Complete Wellness Medical Center of
Fredericksburg, Inc., 10740 Courthouse Road, Fredericksburg, VA 22408.
 
SERVICES AND OPERATIONS
 
Recruiting and Training
 
     The Company seeks new affiliations with chiropractors by referrals from
Affiliated Chiropractors and by advertising in trade magazines. It also conducts
mailings of its marketing information to chiropractors in specific geographic
regions in which it is interested in developing additional Integrated Medical
Centers. The Company acquires and maintains address lists of prospects for these
mailings, conducts information seminars for prospective affiliates, conducts
telemarketing efforts and advertises through its Internet web site.
 
     The Company gives Affiliated Chiropractors introductory materials regarding
its operations and the operation of an Integrated Medical Center. The Company
also credentials Affiliated Chiropractors to verify such things as their
education and professional licenses. The Company then requires each Affiliated
Chiropractor and certain other employees to attend two-day intensive integration
seminars, at which they are taught the basic principles behind managing a
multi-disciplinary health care clinic. Follow-up remote and, if necessary, on
site training is also provided, together with telephone support thereafter.
 
     The Company also assists Affiliated Chiropractors with the recruitment of
medical doctors for the Integrated Medical Centers. The Company has, for
example, found several doctors for the Integrated Medical Centers through
advertisements placed by it. The recruitment and retention of medical doctors is
critical because the Integrated Medical Clinics cannot commence or continue
operations absent a medical doctor.
 
     The Company generally self-credentialed the chiropractors and medical
doctors at the Integrated Medical Centers it is currently managing. The Company
is credentialing certain licensed health care practitioners for Integrated
Medical Centers scheduled for development with a non-NCQA accredited
credentialing concern with which it had an agreement for this purpose. The
Company's management believes that the credentialing procedures followed by such
non-accredited concern are sufficient. In anticipation of pursuing managed care
contracts, the Company has begun to credential and recredential through an NCQA
accredited credentialing concern all of the Integrated Medical Centers' licensed
(but not unlicensed) health
 
                                       38
<PAGE>   39
 
care practitioners, except those licensed health care practitioners the Company
earlier began credentialing through the non-NCQA accredited concern.
 
     Affiliated Chiropractors work under (i) employment agreements with the
Medcorps which generally provide for a base salary during the start-up period of
$1,000 per month and thereafter $4,000 per month and (ii) contractual
arrangements directly and/or indirectly through their existing chiropractic
practices and Admincorps. The latter reward them based upon their performance
and the operating results of the Integrated Medical Centers and their
Admincorps, including collecting on receivables and cost containment efforts.
Medical doctors also work under employment agreements, but on an hourly basis.
In addition, the Company recently adopted its 1996 Restricted Stock Option Plan
for Health Care Professionals and has reserved an aggregate of 100,000 shares of
Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the plan. No options have been granted
under this plan thus far and none may be issued unless and until the Company has
determined that all applicable federal and state laws have been satisfied. See
"-- Government Regulation -- Federal Medicare and Medicaid Related Regulation"
and "Management -- Stock Option Plans -- 1996 Restricted Stock Option Plan for
Health Care Professionals."
 
Management Information System
 
     The Company currently utilizes servers based in Maryland which host a
billing, scheduling and patient record software package. The Company has begun
efforts to license and begin installing updated, more user friendly medical
office software. The Company believes it should also provide the capability to
electronically create and review patient records, monitor outcomes of patient
care, permit effective utilization management of health care services and allow
the Company to analyze the performance of each Integrated Medical Center.
Finally, the Company expects to begin implementing a networked structure
communicating through the Internet beginning in March, 1997.
 
Advertising and Marketing
 
     In seeking to attract new patients to the Integrated Medical Centers, the
Company intends to advertise and market their services utilizing television,
radio, and print advertising, as well as internal marketing promotions such as
patient appreciation days. The Admincorps may elect to advertise the services of
the Integrated Medical Centers locally at the Admincorps' expense. Although the
Company intends to tailor its marketing efforts to the demands of a particular
market, in appropriate circumstances, it intends to focus its advertising and
marketing efforts at the national and regional (county, metropolitan area, or
state) levels. The Company will, upon request, help the Admincorps develop such
advertisements or review drafts of them as part of its services to the
Admincorps under the Company's agreements with them. The Company's regional and
national advertising and marketing will be paid for by a $200 per month
marketing fee that each Integrated Medical Center is required to pay, typically
beginning six months after the Integration Date. The fees are deposited by the
Company in a segregated account for use only for regional and national
advertising and marketing. The Company has not conducted any such regional or
national advertising and marketing prior to the date of this Prospectus.
 
THIRD PARTY REIMBURSEMENT
 
     The Company's ability to collect its fees in a timely manner, or at all, is
affected by whether the Integrated Medical Center is reimbursed for its medical
services and the amount of reimbursement. The Company's own cash flow could be
adversely affected by the Integrated Medical Centers' long collection cycle from
various third party payors. Further, third party payors may reject the
Integrated Medical Centers' medical claims if, in their judgment, the procedures
performed were not medically necessary or if the charges exceeded such payors'
allowable fee standards. In addition, the reimbursement forms required by third
party payors for payment of medical claims are long, detailed and complex and
payments may be delayed or refused unless these forms are properly completed in
a timely manner. It is common practice for third party payors to initially
deny/reject the first submission of a medical claim. This does not mean that the
claim will not ultimately be paid. The Integrated Medical Centers normally would
re-submit the claim with such revised information as requested and/or forms and
documentation. Outstanding claims that continue to be disputed
 
                                       39
<PAGE>   40
 
after one year or more could then be submitted to an arbitration process.
Normally, when final arbitration decisions are about to be rendered, the third
party payor will settle. Although the Integrated Medical Centers will take all
legally available steps, including legally prescribed arbitration, to collect
their receivables, there is a significant risk that some Integrated Medical
Centers' receivables may not be collected.
 
     Third party payors are not generally familiar with reimbursing for
traditional and alternative health care services, such as chiropractic, in the
same medical practice. Third party payors may disagree with the descriptions or
coding of a bill for medical services, or may contest a code or description
under a lesser (e.g., chiropractic) fee schedule. Such disagreements on billing
code or description of professional services, particularly where the third party
payor is a federal or state funded health care program, could result in lesser
reimbursement, which could have a material adverse effect on the Integrated
Medical Center and ultimately on the Company. Persistent disagreements or
alleged "upcoding" could result in allegations of fraud or false billing, both
of which constitute felonies. Such an allegation, if proven, could result in
forfeitures of payment, civil money penalties, civil fines, suspensions, or
disbarment from participating in federal or state funded health care programs,
and have a material adverse effect on the Company. Investigation and
prosecutions for fraudulent or false billing could have a material adverse
effect on the Company, even if such allegations were disproven.
 
     The health care industry is undergoing significant change as third party
payors increase their efforts to control the cost, use and delivery of health
care services. Several states have taken measures to reduce the reimbursement
rates paid to health care providers in their states. The Company believes that
additional reductions will be implemented from time to time. In addition,
reductions in Medicare rates often lead to reductions in the reimbursement rates
of other third party payors as well and the Company believes that such further
reductions are probable. Changes in Medicare reimbursement rates or other
changes in reimbursements by third party payors to Integrated Medical Centers
could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
 
AGREEMENTS WITH AFFILIATED CHIROPRACTORS AND OTHER LICENSED PRACTITIONERS
 
     The Company first enters into an Integrated Medical Center Management and
Security Agreement ("IMCM&S Agreement") with the Affiliated Chiropractor in his
individual capacity and the Affiliated Chiropractor's existing chiropractic
practice (if a separate legal entity). The IMCM&S Agreement obligates the
Affiliated Chiropractor to incorporate the Admincorp and cause the Admincorp to
ratify the IMCM&S Agreement. The Company then establishes the Medcorp and enters
into a Management and Security Agreement (the "M&S Agreement") with the Medcorp,
pursuant to which the Company agrees to provide management services to the
Medcorp's Integrated Medical Center(s). The Company also enters into separate
office space and equipment subleases with the Medcorp, having leased the office
space and equipment in question from the Affiliated Chiropractor or his existing
chiropractic practice, as appropriate, pursuant to the terms of the IMCM&S
Agreement. The Medcorp employs the Affiliated Chiropractor(s) and one or more
medical doctors. Pending the completion of the various tasks that follow the
Affiliated Chiropractor entering into the IMCM&S Agreement, the Company
credentials the Affiliated Chiropractor, trains him and his office staff on the
operation of an Integrated Medical Center and otherwise helps the Affiliated
Chiropractor integrate by, among other things, helping him recruit a medical
doctor. The Integrated Medical Center cannot commence operation without a
medical doctor in its employ.
 
Management and Security Agreement
 
     Under the M&S Agreement, the Company agrees to (i) manage certain
non-medical aspects of the Integrated Medical Center (including record keeping,
billing and collection, handling non-professional personnel, patient scheduling,
and continuing education), (ii) provide capital, facilities, equipment, computer
software and training, (iii) implement advertising and marketing programs, (iv)
arrange for certain legal and accounting services, and (v) assist in identifying
and recruiting medical doctors. The Company charges the Medcorp management fees
for the goods and services it provides the Medcorp. Such fees are generally
based on a periodic determination of the fair market value of such goods and
services. With respect to Integrated Medical Centers that serve patients covered
by any federal or state funded health care program and certain
 
                                       40
<PAGE>   41
 
other Integrated Medical Centers, the management fees are pre-set for one year
for flat dollar amounts that represent the fair market value of the goods and
services the Company directly furnishes the Medcorp and of the services the
Company indirectly furnishes the Medcorp through its arrangement with the
Admincorp pursuant to the IMCM&S Agreement. The Company will retain an
independent third party to assist it in determining the fair market value of the
goods and services it provides Integrated Medical Centers that treat patients
covered by federal or state funded health programs and certain other Integrated
Medical Centers.
 
     The costs to the Company to develop an Integrated Medical Center not
connected with a strategic alliance have averaged $30,000. These costs have
consisted of approximately $10,000 for the purchase of such things as computer
software, legal fees, professional credentialing, training, an administrative
starter kit and travel, and approximately $20,000 (out of a possible $40,000) in
the form of a loan. The loan may used for items such as professional salaries,
computer hardware, signage and insurance. The loans are evidenced by a
promissory note, bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum, are secured by the
assets of the Medcorps, are guaranteed by the Affiliated Chiropractor pursuant
to a separate guaranty, and are payable within five years. In addition, the
Company may make other advances to the Medcorp from time to time for working
capital purposes. If the Company were to make such an advance, it would bear
interest at the rate of 10% per annum and be secured by such collateral as the
Company in its discretion deemed appropriate. The Company expects that the M&S
Agreement for an Integrated Medical Center developed in connection with a
strategic alliance would require the Company to bear development costs which the
Company believes will approximate $150,000.
 
     The M&S Agreements are for terms of 35 years and may be terminated by the
Company or by the Integrated Medical Center for a material breach by the other
party that remains uncorrected for more than ten days after notification or for
the dissolution, bankruptcy or insolvency of the other party. In addition, the
Company may terminate the M&S Agreement if the Integrated Medical Center fails
to meet material standards of managed care payors. Termination does not relieve
either party for any indebtedness incurred before the date of termination. The
M&S Agreements require that the Company enter into a separate management
agreement with the Admincorp pursuant to which the Admincorp is to assume
responsibility for day-to-day administration of the Integrated Medical Center.
 
Integrated Medical Center Management and Security Agreement
 
     Under the IMCM&S Agreement, the Company agrees to furnish the Admincorp, in
its discretion, with respect to the relevant Integrated Medical Center(s), such
services as assistance with advertising and other practice development
activities, assistance in recruiting medical doctors and negotiating employment
contracts with them, credentialing, the negotiation of managed care contracts,
and legal support and documentation for the establishment of the integrated
practice. In general, the Admincorp assumes responsibility for the daily
management functions of the Integrated Medical Centers, such as record keeping,
billing and collection, supervision of personnel, facilities management,
purchasing, and scheduling. These services are provided in the discretion and
best judgment of the Admincorp, subject to certain operating protocols and
procedures. The Affiliated Chiropractor or the existing chiropractic practice,
as the case may be, also agrees to lease the office space and equipment utilized
by the existing chiropractic practice to the Company.
 
     The Admincorp charges the Company a monthly fee equal to the sum of the
management fees and rent that the Company charges the Medcorp, less a specified
fixed amount, however, with respect to certain Integrated Medical Centers. In
general, the Company charges the Admincorp a collective marketing fee of $200
per month beginning six months after the Integration Date and a monthly
integration fee equal to, depending on various factors, 9% to 20% (if the
initial term of the IMCM&S Agreement is five years) or 10% to 15% (if the
initial term is ten years) of the sum of (i) the management fee and rent that
the Company charges the Medcorp and (ii) the Medcorp's permissible expenses,
until the sum reaches $300,000 to $500,000 in any one year, and 10% of the sum
for the remainder of that year. With respect to Integrated Medical Centers that
serve patients covered by federal or state funded health care programs and
certain other Integrated Medical Centers, the integration fees are instead for
flat dollar amounts equal to estimated fair market value, subject to a 15% cap.
The Company also may charge many Admincorps an operations fee of $250 per month,
subject in certain cases, however, to delayed or contingent effectiveness.
 
                                       41
<PAGE>   42
 
     The IMCM&S Agreements are generally for initial terms of five years,
although some are for ten years. They may be renewed in five year increments, up
to four times, by mutual consent. An Affiliated Chiropractor may terminate the
IMCM&S Agreement if the Company materially breaches it and, if the breach is
correctable, the Company fails to cure the breach within ten days after written
notification. A number of the IMCM&S Agreements, including those with respect to
at least four of the seven operating Integrated Medical Centers, are also
terminable by the Affiliated Chiropractor, if, for example, the combined
revenues of the Integrated Medical Center and existing chiropractic practice
during the 12 months following the start-up phase do not exceed 110% of the
revenues of the Affiliated Chiropractor's existing chiropractic practice for the
12-month period preceding the date the Affiliated Chiropractor signed the IMCM&S
Agreement. The start-up phase is generally three months following the
Integration Date. The Company may terminate the IMCM&S Agreement for a variety
of reasons, including for material breach by the Admincorp that, if correctable,
remains uncorrected for more than ten days after notification, misuse by the
Admincorp of funds received by or on behalf of the Company or the Medcorp, the
dissolution, bankruptcy, or insolvency of the Admincorp, the death of the
Affiliated Chiropractor, the failure by the Admincorp to maintain credentialing
qualifications, to provide medical services for ten consecutive days, or to meet
material standards of managed care payors or the provision of services for
patients covered by a federal or state funded health care program without the
Company's prior written authorization. Termination does not relieve any party
for any indebtedness incurred before the date of termination. Following
termination of the IMCM&S Agreement, the Admincorp is generally entitled to
receive from the Company 80% of the accounts receivable then due the Company
from the Medcorp, less the balance then due the Company from the Admincorp,
subject to the Medcorp collecting on its accounts receivable.
 
Employment Agreements With Affiliated Chiropractors
 
     The Affiliated Chiropractors have entered into employment agreements with
the Medcorps, as required by the IMCM&S Agreement, pursuant to which they have
each agreed to work as a licensed chiropractor for a mutually agreed upon
salary. The salary is generally $1,000 per month during a designated, generally
3-month, start-up phase and $4,000 per month after the start-up phase. The
initial term of the employment agreement is five years. The agreement typically
renews automatically if the IMCM&S Agreement is renewed and terminates
automatically if the IMCM&S Agreement is terminated. The Affiliated Chiropractor
may terminate the employment agreement if the Medcorp materially breaches it
and, if the breach is correctable, does not remedy the breach within, in most
cases, ten days after notification. The Medcorp may terminate the employment
agreement for a variety of reasons, including a material breach by the
Affiliated Chiropractor that, if correctable, remains uncorrected for more than
ten days after notification, misuse by the Affiliated Chiropractor of funds
received by or on behalf of the Company or the Medcorp, the death, disability,
or incapacity of the Affiliated Chiropractor, the failure by the Affiliated
Chiropractor to meet material standards of managed care payors, or for "cause,"
defined to include, for example, chronic dependency on drugs or alcohol, gross
neglect or gross misconduct, and disqualification or revocation of license to
practice chiropractic. The Affiliated Chiropractor agrees to maintain in
confidence certain information regarding the Medcorp.
 
Employment Agreements With Medical Doctors and Other Health Care Practitioners
 
     The Medcorps generally enter into employment agreements with the medical
doctors, but have not, subject to one exception, entered into employment
agreements with any of their health care practitioners other than medical
doctors or Affiliated Chiropractors. The medical doctors' employment agreements
provide that the medical doctors retain independent discretion and shall
exercise independent judgment concerning the treatment of patients and that the
Medcorp is responsible for the non-health care aspects of the practice. The
practitioner and the Medcorp agree upon a rate of compensation, which is
generally an hourly rate ranging from approximately $60-$100. The agreements are
for one year, with the first 90 to 180 days being a probationary period during
which the Integrated Medical Center may terminate the medical doctor's
employment for any reason. After the probationary period, the Medcorp may
terminate the agreement if the practitioner becomes disabled or for "cause,"
defined as including, for example, chronic dependency on drugs or alcohol, gross
neglect or gross misconduct, disqualification or revocation of his or her
license to practice medicine, a material adverse change in the business or
economic prospects of the Medcorp as determined
 
                                       42
<PAGE>   43
 
solely by the Medcorp, and cessation of the Medcorp's business. In addition,
either party may terminate the agreement by giving 30 days prior written notice
to the other party. The agreements often provide that the practitioner will not
compete with or solicit patients of the Medcorp for one or two years after
termination of the agreement.
 
Formation of Medcorps
 
     The Medcorps are formed as general business corporations wholly-owned by
the Company in states (such as Florida and Virginia) in which the Company
believes general business corporations are permitted to conduct medical
practices. In other states (such as Illinois) the Medcorps are formed as
professional corporations owned by one or more medical doctors licensed to
practice medicine under applicable state law (each a "Qualified M.D."). A
Qualified M.D. may, but need not, be an employee of the Company, a Medcorp
and/or an affiliate of the Company. A Qualified M.D. of a professional
corporation that treats patients covered by a federal or state funded health
care program, may not, however, refer patients to, influence the referral of
patients to, or furnish medical services on behalf of any Integrated Medical
Center. A Qualified M.D. may own stock in more than one Medcorp formed as a
professional corporation. Each Qualified M.D. enters into an agreement giving
the Company the right to direct the transfer of his or her stock in the Medcorp
to another Qualified M.D. at the Company's discretion, as well as a pre-signed
resignation as a director and officer of the professional corporation. See
"Certain Transactions." Qualified M.D.'s are paid fees by the Medcorps for
serving as officers or directors thereof. Qualified M.D.'s are also indemnified
for serving as officers or directors of the Medcorps.
 
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
 
     Various state and federal laws regulate the relationship between providers
of health care services and physicians, and, as a business in the health care
industry, the Company is subject to these laws and regulations. The Company is
also subject to laws and regulations relating to business corporations in
general. Although many aspects of the Company's business operations have not
been the subject of state or federal regulatory interpretation, the Company
believes its operations are in material compliance with applicable laws. There
can be no assurance, however, that a review of the business practices of the
Company or its Integrated Medical Centers by courts or regulatory authorities
would not result in a determination that could adversely affect the operations
of the Company or the Integrated Medical Centers, or that the health care
regulatory environment will not change so as to restrict the Company's
operations or its ability to expand them. See "Risk Factors."
 
     Licensure.  Every state imposes licensing requirements on individual
physicians and on certain other types of health care providers and facilities.
Many states require regulatory approval, including licenses to render care or
certificates of need, before establishing certain types of heath care facilities
or offering services which entail the acquisition of expensive medical
equipment. While the performance of management services on behalf of a medical
practice does not currently require any regulatory approval, there can be no
assurance that such activities will not be subject to licensure in the future.
 
     Corporate Practice of Medicine.  The laws of many states prohibit business
corporations from engaging in the practice of medicine, such as through
employment arrangements with physicians. These laws vary from state to state and
are enforced by the state courts and regulatory authorities with broad
discretion. The Company does not employ physicians to practice medicine, does
not represent to the public that it offers medical services, and does not
control or interfere with the practice of medicine by physicians at the
Integrated Medical Centers. The Medcorps are formed as general business
corporations wholly-owned by the Company in states (such as Florida and
Virginia) in which the Company believes general business corporations are
permitted to own medical practices. In other states (such as Illinois), the
Medcorps are formed as professional corporations owned by one or more medical
doctors licensed to practice medicine under applicable state law. Accordingly,
the Company believes that its operations do not violate applicable state laws
regulating the unlicensed practice of medicine by a business corporation.
However, because the laws governing the corporate practice of medicine vary from
state to state, any expansion of the operations of the Company to a state with
strict corporate practice of medicine laws may require the Company to modify its
operations with
 
                                       43
<PAGE>   44
 
respect to one or more of such practices, which may result in increased
financial risk to the Company. Further, there can be no assurance that the
Company's arrangements will not be successfully challenged as constituting the
unauthorized practice of medicine or that certain provisions of the management
services agreements will be enforceable. See "Risk Factors -- State Laws
Prohibiting the Corporate Practice of Medicine."
 
     Fee-Splitting Prohibitions.  The laws of some states (including Illinois)
prohibit physicians from splitting professional fees. These statutes are
sometimes quite broad and as a result prohibit otherwise legitimate business
arrangements. Others are more narrow. Florida, for example, prohibits only
fee-splitting arrangements that are based on referrals. Penalties for violating
these fee-splitting statutes or regulations may include revocation, suspension,
or probation of a physician's license, or other disciplinary action, as well as
monetary penalties. Alleged violations of the fee-splitting laws have also been
used successfully by physicians to void contracts as against public policy.
 
     Pursuant to the terms of its M&S Agreements with the Medcorps, the Company
receives a management fee determined to represent the fair market value of the
goods and services it provides the Medcorps. In Illinois, such fees are for
specified dollar amounts and may not be changed more often than once annually.
See "-- Agreements With Affiliated Chiropractors and Other Licensed
Practitioners -- Management and Security Agreement." Although the Company
believes that its compensation arrangements comply with applicable state
fee-splitting laws, there can be no assurance that these compensation
arrangements will not be construed by state or judicial authorities as being
proscribed by such laws.
 
     State Anti-kickback and Self-Referral Laws.  A number of states in which
the Company conducts business or plans to conduct business (including Florida,
Illinois and Maryland) have enacted laws that prohibit the payment for referrals
and other types of kickback arrangements. Such state laws typically apply to all
patients regardless of their insurance coverage. In addition, a number of states
(including Florida, Illinois, Maryland and Virginia) have enacted laws that, to
varying degrees, prohibit physician self-referrals or require disclosure of
financial interests. Illinois, for example, has a broad self-referral law that
regulates all health care workers (including physicians), regardless of the
patient's source of payment. Subject to certain limited exceptions, the Illinois
law prohibits referrals for health services provided by or through licensed
health care workers to an entity outside the health care worker's office or
group practice in which the health care worker is an investor, unless the health
care worker directly provides health services within the entity and will be
personally involved with the provision of care to the referred patient. In April
1992, the State of Florida enacted a Patient Self-Referral Act that severely
restricts patient referrals for certain services, prohibits markups of certain
procedures and requires health care providers to disclose ownership in
businesses to which patients are referred. The Company believes it is likely
that more states will adopt similar legislation. Some states' self-referral laws
may prohibit the Medcorps' health care practitioners from owning stock in the
Company. The Company believes that its operations comply with current statutory
provisions, although there can be no assurance that state anti-kickback and
self-referral laws will not be interpreted more broadly or amended in the future
to be more expansive. In addition, expansion of the operations of the Company to
certain jurisdictions may require it to comply with such jurisdictions'
regulations, which could lead to structural and organizational modifications of
the Company's form of relationships with managed practices. Such changes, if
any, could have an adverse effect on the Company.
 
     State Regulation of Insurance Business and HMOs.  Laws in all states
regulate the business of insurance and the operation of health maintenance
organizations, or HMOs. Many states also regulate the establishment and
operation of networks of health care providers. Many state insurance
commissioners have interpreted their states' insurance statutes to prohibit
entities from entering into risk-based managed care contracts unless there is an
entity licensed to engage in the business of insurance, such as an HMO, in the
chain of contracts. An entity not licensed to engage in the business of
insurance that contracts directly with a self-insured employer in such a state
may be deemed to be engaged in the unlicensed business of insurance. While these
laws do not generally apply to the hiring and contracting of physicians by other
health care providers, there can be no assurance that regulatory authorities of
the states in which the Company operates would not apply these laws to require
licensure of the Company's operations as an insurer, as an HMO, or as a provider
network. The Company believes that it is in compliance with these laws in the
states in which it does business, but there can be no assurance that future
interpretations of insurance and health care network laws by regulatory
authorities
 
                                       44
<PAGE>   45
 
in these states or in the states into which the Company may expand will not
require licensure or a restructuring of some or all of the Company's operations.
 
     Federal Medicare and Medicaid Related Regulation.  There are a number of
federal laws prohibiting certain activities and arrangements relating to
services or items reimbursable by federal or state funded health care programs.
Certain provisions of the Social Security Act, commonly referred to as the
"Anti-kickback Amendments," prohibit the offer, payment, solicitation or receipt
of any form of remuneration either in return for the referral of federal or
state health care reimbursement program patients or patient care opportunities,
or in return for the recommendation, arrangement, purchase, lease or order of
items or services covered by such federal or state health care funded programs.
The Anti-kickback Amendments are broad in scope and have been broadly
interpreted by courts in many jurisdictions. Read literally, the statute places
at risk many otherwise legitimate business arrangements, potentially subjecting
such arrangements to lengthy, expensive investigations and prosecutions
initiated by federal and state governmental officials.
 
     In July 1991, in part to address concerns regarding the Anti-kickback
Amendments, the federal government published regulations that provide
exceptions, or "safe harbors," for certain transactions deemed not to violate
the Anti-kickback Amendments. Among the safe harbors included in the regulations
were provisions relating to the sale of physician practices, management and
personal services agreements, and employee relationships. Additional proposed
safe harbors were published in September 1993 offering protections under the
Anti-kickback Amendments to eight new activities, including referrals within
group practices consisting of active investors. Proposed amendments to clarify
the 1991 safe harbors were published in July 1994. If adopted, such amendments
would cause substantive retroactive changes to the 1991 regulations. Violation
of the Anti-kickback Amendments is a felony, punishable by substantial civil
fines and imprisonment for up to five years. In addition, the Department of
Health and Human Services may impose civil penalties excluding violators from
participation in federal or state funded health care programs. Although the
Company believes that its current operations are not in violation of the
Anti-kickback Amendments, there can be no assurance that regulatory authorities
will not determine that the Company's operations are in violation of the
Anti-kickback Amendments.
 
     Significant prohibitions against physician self-referrals for services
covered by Medicare and Medicaid programs were enacted by Congress in the
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, subject to certain exceptions. These
prohibitions, commonly known as "Stark II," amended prior physician
self-referral legislation known as "Stark I" (which applied only to clinical
laboratory referrals) by significantly enlarging the list of services and
investment interests to which the referral prohibitions apply. Effective January
1, 1995 and subject to certain exceptions, Stark II prohibits a physician or a
member of his immediate family from referring Medicare or Medicaid patients to
any entity providing "designated health services" in which the physician has an
ownership or investment interest, or with which the physician has entered into a
compensation arrangement. The designated health services include the provision
of clinical laboratory services, radiology services, including magnetic
resonance imaging, computerized axial tarrography scans and ultrasound services,
radiation therapy services, physical and occupational therapy services, durable
medical equipment, parenteral and enteral nutrients, equipment and supplies,
orthotics and prosthetic devices and supplies, outpatient prescription drugs,
home health services and inpatient and outpatient hospital services. Certain
Integrated Medical Centers, including those that furnish services to federal
and/or state funded health care programs, provide or appear to provide some such
services, and other Integrated Medical Centers may do so in the future. The
penalties for violating Stark II include a prohibition on Medicaid and Medicare
reimbursement and civil penalties of as much as $15,000 for each violative
referral and $100,000 for participation in a "circumvention scheme." A
physician's ownership of publicly traded securities of a corporation with equity
exceeding $75 million as of the end of its most recent fiscal year is not deemed
to constitute an ownership or investment interest in that corporation under
Stark II. The Company will not issue options under its 1996 Restricted Stock
Option Plan for Health Care Professionals until such time that it meets the $75
million safe harbor requirement. See "Management -- Stock Option Plans." The
Company believes that its operations and those of the Integrated Medical Centers
currently are not in violation of Stark I or Stark II; however, the Stark
legislation is broad and ambiguous. Interpretative regulations clarifying the
provisions of Stark I were issued on August 14, 1995. Stark II regulations have
yet to be proposed. While
 
                                       45
<PAGE>   46
 
the Company believes it is in compliance with the Stark legislation, future
regulations could require the Company to modify the form of its relationships
with the Integrated Medical Centers, at least those that provide designated
health services. Moreover, the violation of Stark I or II by any of the
Integrated Medical Centers could result in significant fines and loss of
reimbursement, which would adversely affect the Company.
 
     Franchise and Business Opportunity Laws.  Federal law and the laws of many
states regulate the sale of franchises. Franchise laws require, among other
things, that a disclosure document be prepared and given to prospective
franchisees. The Company believes that Medcorps formed as business corporations
wholly-owned by the Company or CWC LLC are not subject to such laws. Medcorps
formed as physician-owned professional corporations may be subject to them. If
such laws are deemed to apply, the Company would be required to prepare and
deliver a disclosure document to the physician that owns the professional
corporation, who typically will be an employee of the Company. Federal law and
the laws of certain states also regulate the sale of so-called business
opportunities. Franchise laws and business opportunity laws and their
interpretation vary from state to state and are enforced by the courts and
regulatory authorities with broad discretion. Failure to comply with these laws
could give rise to a private right of action for damages or rescission, civil
fines and penalties, and, in some cases, criminal sanctions. Although the
Company believes that its form of relationship with Medcorps and Admincorps is
not the type intended to be covered by such laws, the Company has engaged
counsel to advise it in this regard. There can be no assurance that review of
the Company's business by regulatory authorities will not result in a
determination that could adversely affect the operations of the Company or
require structural and organizational modifications of the Company's form of
relationship with Integrated Medical Centers that could have an adverse effect
on the Company.
 
COMPETITION
 
     The managed health care industry, including the provider practice
management industry, is highly competitive. The Company competes with other
companies for physicians and other practitioners of health care services as well
as for patients. The Company competes not only with national and regional
provider practice management companies, but also with local providers, many of
which are trying to combine their own services with those of other providers
into integrated delivery networks. Certain of the companies are significantly
larger, provide a wider variety of services, have greater financial and other
resources, have greater experience furnishing provider practice management
services, and have longer established relationships with buyers of these
services, than the Company, and provide at least some of the services provided
by the Company. In addition, companies with greater resources than the Company
that are not presently engaged in the provision of integrated provider practice
management services could decide to enter the business and engage in activities
similar to those in which the Company engages. There can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to compete effectively.
 
EMPLOYEES
 
     As of January 31, 1997, the Company had 11 employees and the six operating
Medcorps had a total of 30 employees. The Company's 11 employees consisted of 8
in finance and administration and 3 in sales and marketing. Neither the
Company's employees nor those of the Medcorps are represented by any labor
union. The Company believes that relations with its employees are satisfactory.
 
PROPERTIES
 
     The Company does not own any property. The Company's executive and
administrative offices are located in approximately 1,350 square feet of office
space in Washington, DC. The Company pays $1,350 per month rent, on a
month-to-month basis.
 
     After the completion of this Offering, the Company intends to lease
approximately 3,000 to 5,000 square feet of space for its executive offices in
Montgomery County, Maryland. The Company has received a low interest rate loan
commitment in the amount of $45,000 from the Montgomery County Economic
Development Fund in order to defray its relocation costs. The loan is to bear
interest at the rate of 7% per annum with a ten year amortization, with payment
deferred until the end of 1997. The loan is to be secured by the
 
                                       46
<PAGE>   47
 
Company's capital assets. The loan will be converted to a grant if the Company
generates more than 50 jobs and establishes a new Integrated Medical Center in
Montgomery County by the end of 1997. The loan commitment expires on March 31,
1997.
 
PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY
 
     The Medcorps employ health care practitioners at the Integrated Medical
Centers for the delivery of health care services to the public. They are thus
exposed to the risk of professional liability claims. The Company does not
itself provide such services or control the provision of health care services by
the Integrated Medical Centers' practitioners or their compliance with
regulatory and other requirements in that regard. The Company might nevertheless
be held liable for medical negligence on their part.
 
     The Company has obtained an insurance policy that, subject to certain
conditions, provides both it and its subsidiaries medical malpractice insurance
and managed care errors and omissions insurance retroactive to the Integration
Dates of the Company's current Integrated Medical Centers and one former
Integrated Medical Center. The policy provides coverage for $1,000,000 per claim
per Integrated Medical Center, subject to an aggregate limit of $3,000,000 per
Integrated Medical Center per year. The policy will also cover the Company with
respect to Integrated Medical Centers as they are opened. There is no deductible
under the policy.
 
     The foregoing policy is a "claims made" policy. Thus, it provides coverage
for covered claims made during the policy's term but not for losses occurring
during the policy's term for which a claim is made subsequent to the expiration
of the term. Further, the policy remains contingent on, among other things, the
Company paying the initial premium of approximately $40,000 by March 10, 1997.
As to future Integrated Medical Centers, the Company must submit an application
and pay the premium with respect thereto within two weeks and 30 days of the
desired effective date of coverage, respectively. The policy is also subject to
bi-annual audits of patient visits.
 
     There can be no assurance, however, that the Company, its employees, or the
licensed health care practitioners employed by or associated with the Medcorps
will not be subject to claims in amounts that exceed the coverage limits under
the policy or that such coverage will be available when needed. Further, there
can be no assurance that professional liability insurance will continue to be
available to the Company in the future at adequate levels or at an acceptable
cost to the Company. A successful claim against the Company in excess of the
Company's insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect upon the
Company's business. Claims against the Company, regardless of their merits or
eventual outcome, also may have an adverse effect upon the Company.
 
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
     There are no pending legal proceedings to which the Company or its
properties is subject. A former employee has raised the possibility of
instituting a legal or arbitration proceeding regarding the alleged breach by
the Company of an employment agreement with the former employee. The Company
believes that it has meritorious defenses against his claims, and if a
proceeding is commenced, intends to vigorously defend itself. Management
believes that if a legal or arbitration proceeding were instituted and decided
against the Company, it would not have a material adverse effect on the Company.

* Mr. McMillen did not receive any cash compensation for fiscal years 1995 or
  1996, nor were any options granted to him. For fiscal year 1996, compensation
  in the amount of $22,500 was accrued. In addition, the Company advanced to him
  without interest approximately $37,000 in 1996, which he has agreed to pay
  upon consummation of this Offering. See "Certain Relationships and Related
  Transactions." No other executive officer received compensation in excess of
  $100,000 during the Company's last fiscal year.
 
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
 
     The Company does not currently compensate, and does not anticipate
compensating its directors for their services as directors, except that each of
the Company's non-employee directors, after the completion of the Offering, will
receive a director's fee of $500 per meeting for attendance at Board of
Directors or committee meetings. In addition, each of the Company's directors
receives reimbursement of all ordinary and necessary expenses incurred in
attending any meeting or any committee meeting of the Board of Directors.
Currently, all directors hold office until the next annual meeting of
stockholders and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified.
The Company's executive officers are appointed annually and serve at the
direction of the Board of Directors, subject to the terms of existing employment
agreements.
 
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
 
     In July 1996, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr.
McMillen providing for his employment, as Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer, for a term expiring in March 1999. The employment agreement
provides for an annual base salary for Mr. McMillen of $90,000 that shall
increase to $150,000 upon the closing of the Offering. All salary payments are
being accrued until the closing of the Offering and will be paid with a portion
of the net proceeds of the Offering. See "Use of Proceeds." Mr. McMillen may
participate in all executive benefit plans and has the use of a Company car. The
agreement also provides, among other things, that if his employment is
terminated without cause (as defined in the agreement), the Company will pay an
amount equal to one year's base salary, payable over a one year period.
 
     In March 1996 the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr.
Sharer providing for his employment as President and Chief Operating Officer for
a term expiring in March 1999. The employment agreement provides for an annual
base salary for Mr. Sharer of $150,000 effective upon closing of this Offering,
and for participation in all executive benefit plans, as well as an automobile
allowance of $1,000 per month. Mr. Sharer was granted options to purchase
116,667 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.03 per
share. On the date of such grant, 16,667 of those options were exercisable, of
which 10,000 were exercised. The remaining options will vest in equal
installments on April 1, 1997, April 1, 1998, and March 31, 1999. The agreement
also provides, among other things, that, if his employment is terminated without
cause (as defined in the agreement) the Company will pay to him an amount equal
to one year's base salary, payable over a one year period.
 
     In January 1996, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Dr.
Milano, providing for her employment as Vice President-Medical Affairs, for a
term expiring on December 31, 1998. The employment agreement provides for an
annual base salary of $120,000 beginning August 1, 1996, of which $6,000 per
month will be accrued until the closing of the Offering and paid with a portion
of the net proceeds of the
 
                                       50
<PAGE>   51
 
Offering, a bonus of $1,000 for each Medcorp formed as a professional
corporation of which Dr. Milano is a shareholder, to be paid by such Medcorp,
and for participation in all executive benefit plans plus an automobile
allowance of $500 per month. See "Use of Proceeds." Dr. Milano was granted
options to purchase 46,667 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise
price of $0.03 per share. The options have vested as to 16,667 shares and will
vest as to 15,000 shares on October 1, 1997, and as to 15,000 shares on
September 30, 1998. Any additional compensation Dr. Milano receives for services
as a Qualified Physician (as described under "Business -- Agreements with
Affiliated Chiropractors and Other Licensed Practitioners -- Formation of
Integrated Medical Centers") will be offset against her base salary. See
"Certain Transactions." The agreement also provides, among other things, that,
if her employment is terminated without cause (as defined in the agreement), the
Company will pay her an amount equal to six month's salary, payable over a six
month period.
 
     Each of the employment agreements with Messrs. McMillen and Sharer and with
Dr. Milano requires the full-time services of such employees. Mr. McMillen's
employment agreement requires that he devote a minimum of 40 hours per week to
his responsibilities as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The agreements
also contain covenants restricting the employee from engaging in any activities
competitive with the business of the Company during the term of such agreement
and for a period of one year thereafter, and prohibiting the employee from
disclosing confidential information regarding the Company.
 
STOCK OPTION PLANS
 
     1994 Stock Option Plan.  The Company's 1994 Stock Option Plan (the "1994
Plan") was adopted by the Company's Board of Directors and approved by the
shareholders of the Company in December 1994. The 1994 Plan was amended by the
Board of Directors, with shareholder approval, in 1995, so as to increase the
number of shares available under the 1994 Plan to 400,000 from 60,000. The
purpose of the 1994 Plan is to attract and retain qualified personnel, to
provide additional incentives to employees, officers, directors, consultants and
advisors of the Company, and to promote the Company's business. As of the date
of this Prospectus, options to purchase 351,166 shares of Common Stock at a
weighted average per share exercise price of $0.60 were outstanding. A total of
11,167 shares of Common Stock are available for grant under the 1994 Plan, of
which the Company has agreed to grant, subject to a vesting schedule, options to
purchase 11,000 shares to Kats Management at an exercise price per share equal
to 75% of the initial public offering price per share. See
"Business -- Expansion Strategy." The 1994 Plan will terminate in April 2004,
unless sooner terminated by the Board of Directors.
 
     The 1994 Plan provides for the grant of both incentive stock options,
intended to qualify as such under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"), and nonqualified stock options. The Board may
delegate administration of the 1994 Plan to the Compensation Committee. Subject
to the limitations set forth in the 1994 Plan, the Board of Directors (or the
Compensation Committee) has the authority to select the persons to whom grants
are to be made, to designate the number of shares to be covered by each option,
to determine whether an option is to be an incentive stock option or a
nonqualified stock option, to establish vesting schedules, and, subject to
certain restrictions, to specify the type of consideration to be paid to the
Company upon exercise and to specify other terms of the options. The maximum
term of options granted under the 1994 Plan is ten years. Options granted under
the 1994 Plan are non-transferable and generally expire 90 days after the
termination of an optionee's service to the Company.
 
     Although no specific vesting schedule is required under the 1994 Plan,
options previously granted under the 1994 Plan have generally provided for
vesting in three equal annual installments. The exercise price of incentive
stock options must equal at least the fair market value of the Common Stock on
the date of grant, except that the exercise price of incentive stock options
granted to any person who at the time of grant owns stock possessing more than
10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock must be at least
110% of the fair market value of such stock on the date of grant.
 
     1996 Stock Option Plan.  In October 1996, the Board of Directors of the
Company, with shareholder approval, adopted its 1996 Stock Option Plan (the
"1996 Plan") covering up to 200,000 shares of the Common Stock, pursuant to
which officers, directors, employees, advisors and consultants to the Company
are
 
                                       51
<PAGE>   52
 
eligible to receive incentive and/or nonqualified stock options. The 1996 Plan,
which expires in September 2006, will be administered by the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors. The selection of participants, allotment of
shares, determination of price, and other conditions relating to the grant of
options will be determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion.
Incentive stock options granted under the 1996 Plan are exercisable for a period
of up to 10 years from the date of grant at an exercise price which is not less
than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of the grant, except
that the term of an incentive stock option granted under the 1996 Plan to a
shareholder owning more than 10% of the outstanding Common Stock may not exceed
five years and its exercise price may not be less than 110% of the fair market
value of the Common Stock on the date of the grant. Subject to the consummation
of this Offering, options to purchase an aggregate of 24,000 shares, exercisable
at the initial public offering price per share for a ten-year period, will be
granted to all of the members of the Company's Advisory Board. See "-- Advisory
Board." No other options have been granted under the 1996 Plan.
 
     1996 Restricted Stock Option Plan for Health Care Professionals.  In
October 1996, the Board of Directors adopted, and the stockholders of the
Company approved, the 1996 Restricted Stock Option Plan for Health Care
Professionals (the "1996 Professionals Plan"), which expires in October 2006.
The 1996 Professionals Plan permits the Company to grant nonqualified stock
options to licensed health care professionals affiliated with the Company and in
most cases employed by a Medcorp. The aggregate amount of Common Stock with
respect to which options may be granted may not exceed 100,000 shares. The Board
of Directors has delegated to the Compensation Committee the authority to grant
options under such a plan, to construct and interpret such plan, and to make all
other determinations and take all actions necessary or advisable for the
administration of such plan. The exercise price for options granted under the
1996 Professionals Plan may be no less than 85% of the fair market value of the
Common Stock on the date of grant. Options granted under the 1996 Professionals
Plan will expire no later than the tenth anniversary of the date of grant. No
options had been granted under the 1996 Professionals Plan as of the date of
this Prospectus. See "Business -- Government Regulation -- Federal Medicare and
Medicaid Related Regulation" for a discussion of certain regulatory constraints
on the grant of options under the 1996 Professionals Plan.
 
EXECUTIVE BONUS PLAN
 
     Effective January 1, 1996, the Company established an Executive Bonus Plan
for Key Executives (the "Bonus Plan") to reward executive officers and other key
employees based upon the performance of the Company and such individuals. Under
the Bonus Plan, the Company has discretion to award bonuses in an aggregate
amount equal to 10% of the Company's pre-tax income for a particular fiscal year
(the "Bonus Fund"). The maximum amount of the Bonus Fund for any year is $5
million. Under the terms of existing employment agreements, which expire on
various dates from December 1998 through August 1999, the Bonus Fund has been
allocated as follows: 30% to Mr. McMillen, 30% to Mr. Sharer, 10% to Dr. Milano,
and 20% to Dr. Kaplan, with 10% available for other employees. Awards under the
Bonus Fund are not exclusive of other bonuses that may be awarded by the Board
of Directors or the Compensation Committee from time to time.
 
LIMITATION OF DIRECTORS' AND OFFICERS' LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
 
     The Company has included in its Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws
provisions to (i) eliminate the personal liability of its directors and officers
for monetary damages resulting from breaches of their fiduciary duty (provided
that such provisions do not eliminate liability for breaches of the duty of
loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, violations under Section 174 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law, or for any transaction from which the director
and/or officer derived an improper personal benefit), and (ii) indemnify its
directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General
Corporation Law, including circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise
discretionary. The Company believes that these provisions are necessary to
attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.
 
     The Company has not entered into indemnification agreements with any of its
directors and officers with the exceptions of the Company's Vice
President-Medical Affairs in her capacity as the sole stockholder, officer, and
director of an Illinois professional corporation formed in connection with an
Integrated Medical Center, and with the Company's Chairman of the Board and
President in their capacity as officers of certain
 
                                       52
<PAGE>   53
 
Florida and Virginia Medcorps. The Company may in the future enter into separate
indemnification agreements with its directors and officers containing provisions
which may in some respects be broader than the specific indemnification
provisions contained in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws.
 
ADVISORY BOARD
 
     Subject to the consummation of the Offering, the Company has established an
Advisory Board (the "Advisory Board") initially comprised of three members with
experience in the areas of scientific, clinical, and regulatory strategy and
standards. The Advisory Board will meet periodically with the Company's Board of
Directors and management to discuss matters relating to the Company's business
activities. Members of the Advisory Board will be reimbursed by the Company for
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in serving on the Advisory Board. The Company
will grant to members of the Advisory Board, subject to the consummation of this
Offering, options to purchase up to 24,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise
price equal to the initial public offering price per share, vesting over three
years. The members of the Company's Advisory Board and their primary
professional or academic affiliations are listed below.
 
     Marc S. Micozzi, M.D., Ph.D., is Chairman of the Advisory Board and
Distinguished Scientist in the American Registry of Pathology, Inc., and the
executive director of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia. From 1986 to
1995, he served as the founding Director of the National Museum of Health and
Medicine in Washington, working with former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop,
S.D. to develop national health education programs for health professionals and
the public. Prior to 1986, Dr. Micozzi was a Senior Investigator at the National
Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland. He recently
authored the Fundamentals of Complementary and Alternative Medicine, a textbook
for physicians and medical students that lays the foundation for a broad
understanding of complementary and alternative medicine. He was the founding

                            SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS
 
     The registration statement, of which this Prospectus forms a part, also
relates to the registration by the Company, for the account of the Selling
Security Holders, of an aggregate of (i) 183,333 shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of the Bridge Warrants, and (ii) the Bridge Warrants. The Selling
Security Holders' Securities are not being underwritten by the Representative in
connection with this Offering. The Selling Security Holders have agreed with the
Company not to directly or indirectly offer, sell, transfer or otherwise
encumber or dispose of any of their Common Stock for a period of 180 days after
the date of this Prospectus. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale" and
"Underwriting."
 
     The sale of the Selling Security Holders' Securities by the Selling
Security Holders may be effected from time to time in transactions (which may
include block transactions by or for the account of the Selling Security
Holders) in the over-the-counter market or in negotiated transactions, or
through the writing of options on the Selling Security Holders' Securities, a
combination of such methods of sale, or otherwise. Sales may be made at fixed
prices which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, or
at negotiated prices.
 
     The Selling Security Holders may effect such transactions by selling the
Selling Security Holders' Securities directly to purchasers, through
broker-dealers acting as agents for the Selling Security Holders, or to
broker-dealers who may purchase shares as principals and thereafter sell the
Selling Security Holders' Securities from time to time in the over-the-counter
market, in negotiated transactions, or otherwise. Such broker-dealers, if any,
may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions
from the Selling Security Holders and/or the purchasers for whom such
broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they may sell as principals or both
(which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer may be in excess of
customary commissions).
 
     The Selling Security Holders and broker-dealers, if any, acting in
connection with such sales, might be deemed to be "underwriters" within the
meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act and any commission received by
them and any profit upon the resale of such securities might be deemed to be
underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
 
     Sales of any shares of Common Stock by the Selling Security Holders may
depress the price of the Common Stock in any market that may develop for the
Common Stock.

                 CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
     Six of the Company's seven Integrated Medical Centers are owned by CWC LLC.
The Company is the managing member of CWC LLC and owns 1% of its membership
interests. As managing member the Company receives (i) a base fee of $7,500 per
month, increased by $2,000 per month for each clinic acquired and/or managed by
CWC LLC in excess of two clinics, and (ii) a commission in an amount equal to 1%
of the prior year's revenue of any new clinic acquired and/or managed by CWC
LLC. In addition, the Company is entitled to receive 50% of any cash flow
distributions after the other members of CWC LLC have received a 12% preferred
cumulative non-compounded annual return. The Company, as managing member, has
the authority and responsibility to make substantially all management decisions
for CWC LLC. In addition, the holders of more than 50% of the CWC LLC membership
interests have granted the Company an irrevocable proxy to vote their membership
interests as the Company sees fit. The proxy is valid for the life of CWC LLC.
As a result of these irrevocable proxies, the financial statements of the
Company and CWC LLC are consolidated for financial reporting purposes. In the
future, the Company does not plan to open any additional Integrated Medical
Centers owned directly or indirectly by CWC LLC, nor does it plan for CWC LLC to
raise any additional capital.
 
     The Company has an option to purchase all of the membership interests of
CWC LLC at an exercise price in an amount such that the other members would
receive a 12% preferred, cumulative, non-compounded, annual return plus a
multiple of their capital contributions ranging from 2 in the first year (1997)
to 4 in the seventh year (2003), after taking into account any previously
returned capital contribution and preferred cumulative return. The exercise
price is payable to the members within 120 days of the Company's exercise of the
option. The price may be paid, at the Company's election, either in cash, or, if
any class of the Company's securities is publicly traded, 75% in cash and 25% in
securities of that class valued at their initial public offering price. If
securities constitute part of the exercise price, the securities will not be
registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws.
 
     CWC LLC has outstanding 13.3 Class A Units (membership interests other than
that of the managing member). The following officers and directors of the
Company or members of their immediate family hold the following interests in CWC
LLC: a trust for the benefit of Wilma Sharer, the spouse of the Company's
President and Chief Operating Officer, holds two Class A Units; Danielle Milano,
the Company's Vice President-Medical Affairs, holds 1/5 of one Class A Unit; and
Robert Libauer, a director of the Company, holds 2 19/50 Class A Units. Each
such person granted to the Company an irrevocable proxy to vote such person's
respective ownership interest in CWC LLC.
 
     In August 1996, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with
J.E.M., Inc. ("JEM"), the sole stockholders of which are Dr. Kaplan, the
Company's Senior Director of Operations and Development, and his wife. Under the
terms of the consulting agreement, JEM agreed to provide advice and assistance
to the Company in connection with identifying and affiliating with chiropractors
and their existing chiropractic practices and identifying, acquiring, and/or
managing businesses engaged in providing services ancillary to those provided by
Integrated Medical Centers. The Company agreed to pay JEM $6,000 per month for
its services. The term of the consulting agreement expires in August 1999 and
may be terminated sooner by mutual agreement of the parties, by the Company for
"cause," defined as a violation by JEM of any material provision of the
consulting agreement not remedied within 30 days after notification or JEM's
conviction of a felony, upon termination of the employment agreement between Dr.
Kaplan and the Company, or JEM's failure to meet certain performance goals.
 
     The Company, Mr. McMillen, Dr. McMillen, Mr. Mrazek, two other holders of
Common Stock and all holders of Series A Preferred Stock are parties to a
certain Stockholders' Agreement dated March 20, 1995 (the "Stockholders'
Agreement"), pursuant to which such stockholders agreed to various restrictions
on their ability to transfer the shares of Common Stock or Series A Preferred
Stock owned by them, among other things. The holders of the Series A Preferred
Stock, voting together as a class, were given the right to elect one director to
the Company's Board of Directors. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock
have not exercised this right to date. In addition, the holders of both the
Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of Common Stock who are parties to the
Stockholders' Agreement were given the preemptive right to purchase a
 
                                       58
<PAGE>   59
 
pro rata portion of any issuance of equity securities of the Company other than
issuances pursuant to the exercise of options granted under the 1994 Plan. The
preemptive rights do not apply to any public offering of equity securities
pursuant to a registration statement filed with the Commission, and expire in
such event. All such holders have waived their preemptive rights for each
issuance of equity securities by the Company prior to the date of this
Prospectus other than pursuant to the exercise of stock options. The
Stockholders' Agreement is to expire on March 20, 2015 or upon the earlier
voluntary written agreement of the Company and such stockholders. The Company
believes that the parties to the Stockholders' Agreement will agree to terminate
it upon the consummation of this Offering.
 
     Dr. Milano is a "Qualified M.D." and serves as an officer, director,
and the sole stockholder of Complete Wellness Medical Center of East Main
Street, Carbondale, P.C., Carbondale, Illinois ("CWC Carbondale"). See
"Business -- Agreements With Affiliated Chiropractors and Other Licensed
Practitioners -- Formation of Integrated Medical Centers." In October 1996, Dr.
Milano, CWC Carbondale, and the Company entered into a Stock Transfer Agreement
(the "Stock Transfer Agreement") pursuant to which (i) Dr. Milano agreed not to
sell, encumber, or otherwise transfer the shares of stock in CWC Carbondale
owned by her without the written consent of CWC Carbondale and the Company and
(ii) the Company has the right, following the provision of notice, to direct
the transfer of all or part of such shares to such transferee as it may
designate for the sum of ten dollars, provided that the transferee is licensed
to practice medicine in the State of Illinois. In order to facilitate the
transfer, the Stock Transfer Agreement required the contemporaneous execution
by Dr. Milano of a stock transfer assignment, a resignation as an officer and
director of CWC Carbondale, and an Agreement for Sale of Business by Transfer
of Capital Stock under which Dr. Milano agreed to transfer her shares in CWC
Carbondale for the sum of ten dollars to a transferee to be designated by the
Company for this purpose. In accordance with the Stock Transfer Agreement, the
Company holds the stock transfer assignment, the resignation, and the Agreement
for Sale of Business by Transfer of Capital Stock in escrow. Additionally, the
Stock Transfer Agreement prohibits Dr. Milano, without prior written consent of
CWC Carbondale and the Company, from amending the charter or bylaws of CWC
Carbondale, agreeing to the merger or consolidation of CWC Carbondale with or
into another corporation, dissolving or liquidating CWC Carbondale, authorizing
the issuance of any additional shares of stock of CWC Carbondale, or approving
any contract with Dr. Milano herself, members of her family, or related
parties. The Company and Dr. Milano also entered into an indemnification
agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to indemnify her from and
against claims made against her in her capacity as an officer or director of
CWC Carbondale. See "Management -- Limitation of Directors' and Officers'
Liability and Indemnification."
 
     As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company has advanced approximately
$37,000 to Mr. McMillen without interest. Mr. McMillen has agreed to repay such
amount upon consummation of the Offering.
 
     Dr. McMillen, Mr. Mrazek, and two other individuals have each given Mr.
McMillen a proxy to vote on their behalf all of the shares of Common Stock owned
by them. Each proxy is irrevocable and valid until December 31, 2000. See
"Principal Stockholders."
 
     The Company believes that all prior transactions between the Company, its
officers, directors or other affiliates of the Company have been on terms no
less favorable than could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties.
Any future transactions with officers, directors, 5% stockholders or affiliates
must be for valid business reasons, be on terms no less favorable to the Company
than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties, and be approved by a
majority of the independent outside members of the Company's Board of Directors
who do not have an interest in the transaction.

                           DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
 
GENERAL
 
     The Company is authorized by its Certificate of Incorporation to issue an
aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.0001665 per share,
and 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share (the
"Preferred Stock"), of which 1,500 shares are designated as the Series A
Preferred Stock. As of September 30, 1996, 714,967 shares of Common Stock were
outstanding and held of record by nine stockholders, and 1,350 shares of Series
A Preferred Stock were outstanding and held of record by seven stockholders.
Upon consummation of this Offering, the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred
Stock will automatically convert into 145,800 shares of Common Stock, and an
aggregate of 1,860,767 shares of Common Stock will be outstanding.
 
COMMON STOCK
 
     Holders of the Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share and, subject
to the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock, to receive dividends when,
as and if declared by the Board of Directors, and to share ratably in the assets
of the Company legally available for distribution in the event of the
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. Holders of the Common
Stock do not have subscription, redemption or conversion rights, nor do they
have any preemptive rights other than holders of Common Stock who are parties to
the Stockholders' Agreement, as and to the extent provided in the Stockholders'
Agreement. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions." In the event
the Company were to elect to sell additional shares of its Common Stock
following this Offering, investors in this Offering would have no prior right to
purchase such additional shares. As a result, their percentage equity interest
in the Company would be diluted. The shares of Common Stock offered hereby will
be, when issued and paid for, fully paid and not liable for further call or
assessment. Holders of the Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights,
which means that the holders of more than half of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock (subject to the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock) can
elect all of the Company's directors, if they choose to do so. In such event,
the holders of the remaining shares of Common Stock would not be able to elect
any directors. The Board is empowered to fill any vacancies on the Board. Except
as otherwise required by Delaware law, and subject to the rights of the holders
of Preferred Stock, all stockholder action is taken by vote of a majority of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock voting as a single class present at a meeting
of stockholders at which a quorum (consisting of a majority of the outstanding
shares of the Common Stock) is present in person or by proxy.
 
PREFERRED STOCK
 
     Preferred Stock may be issued in one or more series and having such rights,
privileges and limitations, including voting rights, conversion privileges
and/or redemption rights, as may, from time to time, be determined by the Board
of Directors of the Company. Preferred Stock may be issued in the future in
connection with acquisitions, financings or such other matters as the Board of
Directors deems appropriate. In the event that any such shares of Preferred
Stock are to be issued, a Certificate of Designation, setting forth the series
of such Preferred Stock and the relative rights, privileges and limitations with
respect thereto, shall be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of
Delaware. The effect of such Preferred Stock is that the Company's Board of
Directors alone, within the bounds and subject to the federal securities laws
and Delaware law, may be able to authorize the issuance of Preferred Stock which
could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control
of the Company without further action by the stockholders and may adversely
affect the voting and other rights of holders of Common Stock. The issuance of
Preferred Stock with voting and conversion rights may also adversely affect the
voting power of the holders of Common Stock, including the loss of voting
control to others.
 
     The Company has designated 1,500 shares as Series A Preferred Stock and has
issued 1,350 shares of these shares. The holders who purchased 1,350 shares of
the Series A Preferred Stock and whose shares will convert into 145,800 shares
Common Stock upon this Offering, have certain piggyback registration rights.
Accordingly, if the Company proposes to register any of its securities, either
for its own account or for the
 
                                       60
<PAGE>   61
 
account of other stockholders, the Company is required to notify such holders
and to include in such registration all of the 145,800 shares of Common Stock
requested to be included by them, subject to the discretion of the managing
underwriter. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock have agreed that they will
not seek to register any of their securities as part of this Offering. In
addition, such holders have entered into lock-up agreements with the
Representative. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale" and "Underwriting".
 
WARRANTS
 
     The following is a summary of certain provisions of the Warrants, but such
summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in all respects by
reference to the actual text of the Warrant Agreement between the Company and
American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the "Warrant Agent"). A copy of the
Warrant Agreement has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of
which this Prospectus is a part. See "Additional Information."
 
     Exercise Price and Terms.  Each Warrant entitles the registered holder
thereof to purchase, at any time, one share of Common Stock at a price of $7.20
per share, subject to adjustment in accordance with the anti-dilution and other
provisions referred to below, at any time commencing August 19, 1997 until
February 18, 2002. The holder of any Warrant may exercise such Warrant by
surrendering the certificate representing the Warrant to the Warrant Agent, with
the subscription form thereon properly completed and executed, together with
payment of the exercise price. No fractional shares will be issued upon the
exercise of the Warrants.
 
     Adjustments.  The exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants are subject to adjustment upon the
occurrence of certain events, including stock dividends, stock splits,
combinations or reclassifications of the Common Stock, or sale by the Company of
shares of its Common Stock or other securities convertible into Common Stock
(exclusive of options and shares under the 1994 Plan, 1996 Plan and 1996
Professionals Plan, and other limited exceptions) at a price below the then
applicable exercise price of the Warrants. Additionally, an adjustment would be
made in the case of a reclassification or exchange of Common Stock,
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other
than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving
corporation) or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company,
in order to enable warrant holders to acquire the kind and number of shares of
stock or other securities or property receivable in such event by a holder of
the number of shares of Common Stock that have been purchased upon the exercise
of the Warrant.
 
     Redemption Provisions.  Commencing August 19, 1998, the Warrants are
subject to redemption, in whole but not in part, at $.10 per Warrant on 30 days'
prior written notice, provided that the average closing bid price of the Common
Stock as reported on Nasdaq SCM equals or exceeds $9.60 per share (subject to
adjustment for stock dividends, stock splits, combinations or reclassifications
of the Common Stock), for any 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive
trading days ending on the fifth trading day prior to the date of the notice of
redemption. In the event the Company exercises the right to redeem the Warrants,
such Warrants will be exercisable until the close of business on the business
day immediately preceding the date for redemption fixed in such notice. If any
Warrant called for redemption is not exercised by such time, it will cease to be
exercisable and the holder will be entitled only to the redemption price.
 
     Transfer, Exchange and Exercise.  The Warrants are in registered form and
may be presented to the Warrant Agent for transfer, exchange or exercise at any
time (or commencing six months from the date of this Prospectus with respect to
exercise) on or prior to their expiration date five years from the date of this
Prospectus, at which time the Warrants become wholly void and of no value. If a
market for the Warrants develops, the holder may sell the Warrants instead of
exercising them. There can be no assurance, however, that a market for the
Warrants will develop or continue.
 
     Modification of Warrants.  The Company and the Warrant Agent may make such
modifications to the Warrants as they deem necessary and desirable that do not
adversely affect the interests of the Warrant holders. The Company may, in its
sole discretion, lower the exercise price of the Warrants for a period of not
less than 30 days on not less than 30 days' prior written notice to the Warrant
holders and the Representative. Modification of the number of securities
purchasable upon the exercise of any Warrant, the exercise price and
 
                                       61
<PAGE>   62
 
the expiration date with respect to any Warrant requires the consent of
two-thirds of the warrant holders. No other modifications may be made to the
Warrants without the consent of two-thirds of the warrant holders. The Warrants
are not exercisable unless, at the time of the exercise, the Company has a
current prospectus covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
the Warrants, and such shares have been registered, qualified or deemed to be
exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the exercising
holder of the Warrants. Although the Company will use its best efforts to have
all of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants
registered or qualified on or before the exercise date and to maintain a current
prospectus relating thereto until the expiration of the Warrants, there can be
no assurance that it will be able to do so. The Warrants are separately
transferable immediately upon issuance. Although the Securities will not
knowingly be sold to purchasers in jurisdictions in which the Securities are not
registered or otherwise qualified for sale, purchasers might buy Warrants in the
after-market or may move to jurisdictions in which the shares underlying the
Warrants are not so registered or qualified during the period that the Warrants
are exercisable. In this event, the Company would be unable to issue shares to
those persons desiring to exercise their Warrants, and holders of Warrants would
have no choice but to attempt to sell the Warrants in a jurisdiction where such
sale is permissible or allow them to expire unexercised.
 
ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS
 
     Upon consummation of this Offering, the Company will be subject to the
provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("Section
203"). Section 203 provides, with certain exceptions, that a Delaware
corporation may not engage in any of a broad range of business combinations with
a person or an affiliate, or associate of such person, who is an "interested
stockholder" for a period of three years from the date that such person became
an interested stockholder unless: (i) the transaction resulting in a person
becoming an interested stockholder, or the business combination, is approved by
the Board of Directors of the corporation before the person becomes an
interested stockholder; (ii) the interested stockholder acquired 85% or more of
the outstanding voting stock of the corporation in the same transaction that
makes such person an interested stockholder (excluding shares owned by persons
who are both officers and directors of the corporation, and shares held by
certain employee stock ownership plans); or (iii) on or after the date the
person becomes an interested stockholder, the business combination is approved
by the corporation's board of directors and by the holders of at least 66 2/3%
of the corporation's outstanding voting stock at an annual or special meeting,
excluding shares owned by the interested stockholder. Under Section 203, an
"interested stockholder" is defined as any person who is: (i) the owner of 15%
or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation; or (ii) an affiliate
or associate of the corporation and who was the owner of 15% or more of the
outstanding voting stock of the corporation at any time within the three-year
period immediately prior to the date on which it is sought to be determined
whether such person is an interested stockholder.
 
     A corporation may, at its option, exclude itself from the coverage of
Section 203 by amending its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, by action of
its stockholders, to exempt itself from coverage, provided that such bylaw or
certificate of incorporation amendment shall not become effective until 12
months after the date it is adopted. The Company has not adopted such an
amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws.
 
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR AND WARRANT AGENT
 
     The Transfer Agent and Registrar for the Common Stock and the Warrant Agent
for the Warrants is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 40 Wall Street, New
York, New York 10005.

                        SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
     Upon completion of this Offering, 1,860,767 shares of Common Stock and
1,000,000 Warrants will be outstanding. The 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock and
1,000,000 Warrants sold in the Offering (1,150,000 shares of Common Stock and
1,150,000 Warrants if the Over-allotment Option is exercised in full) will be
freely tradeable without restriction or further registration under the
Securities Act unless acquired by an "affiliate" of the Company (as that term is
defined in the Securities Act) which securities will be subject to the resale
limitations of Rule 144 under the Securities Act ("Rule 144"). In addition, the
Company has agreed that the Bridge Warrants and the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Bridge Warrants would be included in the
registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part. A total of 183,333
shares of Common Stock will be issuable upon exercise of the Bridge Warrants.
The Selling Security Holders have agreed not to, directly or indirectly, offer,
sell, transfer, pledge, assign, hypothecate, or otherwise encumber or dispose of
any such shares for a period of 180 days after the date of this Prospectus.
 
     The remaining 860,767 shares of Common Stock which will be outstanding upon
consummation of the Offering were issued by the Company in transactions that
were exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act at
various times from November 1994 through August 1996, and are therefore
"restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 ("Restricted
Securities"). In general, Rule 144 allows a person who has beneficially owned
Restricted Securities for at least two years, including persons who may be
deemed affiliates of the Company, to sell, within any three-month period, up to
the number of Restricted Securities that does not exceed the greater of (i) one
percent of the Common Stock or other units of the class outstanding, and (ii)
the average weekly trading volume in such securities during the four calendar
weeks preceding the date on which notice of the sale is filed with the
Commission. A person who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of the Company
at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale and who has beneficially owned
his Restricted Securities for at least three years would be entitled to sell
such Restricted Securities without regard to the volume limitations described
above and the other conditions of Rule 144.
 
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, each officer and director of the Company,
substantially all holders of the shares of Common Stock and all holders of any
options, warrants or other securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable
for shares of Common Stock have agreed not to, directly or indirectly, offer,
sell, transfer, pledge, assign, hypothecate or otherwise encumber or dispose of
any of the Company's securities, whether presently owned, for a period of 13
months after the date of this Prospectus without the prior written consent of
the Representative (the "Lock-Up Period"). An appropriate legend shall be marked
on the back of the stock certificates representing all such securities. Market
sales of a substantial number of shares of Common Stock, or the availability of
such shares for sale in the public market, could adversely affect prevailing
market prices of the Common Stock. In addition, sales of either the Warrants or
the underlying shares of Common Stock or even the existence of the Warrants, may
depress the price of the Common Stock or the Redeemable Warrants in any market
which may develop for such securities. Upon the termination of the Lock-Up
Period, approximately 713,100 Restricted Securities will be immediately eligible
for sale in the public market in reliance on Rule 144. The Commission has
proposed certain amendments to Rule 144 that would reduce by one year the
holding periods required for shares subject to Rule 144 to become eligible for
resale in the public market. This proposal, if adopted, would increase the
number of shares of Common Stock eligible for immediate resale following the
expiration of the Lock-up Period. No assurance can be given as to whether or
when the proposal will be adopted by the Commission.
 
     A total of 700,000 shares of Common Stock are reserved for issuance under
the Company's three stock option plans. Upon completion of the Offering, options
to purchase an aggregate of 144,331 shares of Common Stock will be outstanding.
Each holder of options has agreed not to sell the shares issuable upon exercise
of such options until the expiration of the Lock-Up Period. Upon expiration of
the Lock-Up Period, options to purchase 323,550 shares will be exercisable. The
Company intends to file a registration statement on Form S-8 registering shares
issuable upon exercise of options granted under the plans, as and to the extent
permitted by the eligibility requirements of Form S-8. Upon such registration,
such shares will be eligible for resale in the public market.

     The Underwriters are committed to purchase all the shares of Common Stock
and Warrants offered hereby, if any of such Securities are purchased. The
Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the several Underwriters
are subject to conditions precedent specified therein.
 
     The Company has been advised by the Representative that the Underwriters
propose initially to offer the Securities to the public at the initial public
offering prices set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus and to certain
dealers at such prices less concessions not in excess of $0.36 per share of
Common Stock and $0.006 per Warrant. Such dealers may reallow a concession not
in excess of $0.15 per share of Common Stock and $0.003 per Warrant to certain
other dealers. After the commencement of the Offering, the public offering
price, concession and reallowance may be changed by the Representative.
 
     The Representative has informed the Company that it does not expect sales
to discretionary accounts by the Underwriters to exceed five percent of the
Securities offered hereby.
 
     The Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to
payments that the Underwriters may be required to make. The Company has also
agreed to pay to the Representative a non-accountable expense allowance equal to
3% of the gross proceeds derived from the sale of the Securities underwritten,
of which $50,000 has been paid to date.
 
     The Company has granted to the Underwriters an Over-allotment Option,
exercisable during the 45-day period from the date of this Prospectus, to
purchase up to an additional 150,000 shares of Common Stock and/or an additional
150,000 Warrants at the initial public offering price per Share and per Warrant,
respectively, offered hereby, less underwriting discounts and the
non-accountable expense allowance. Such option may be exercised only for the
purpose of covering over-allotments, if any, incurred in the sale of the
Securities offered hereby. To the extent such option is exercised in whole or in
part, each Underwriter will have a firm commitment, subject to certain
conditions, to purchase the number of the additional Securities proportionate to
its initial commitment.
 
     All officers and directors of the Company, substantially all stockholders
of the Company, and all holders of any options, warrants or other securities
convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock have agreed not to
offer, agree or offer to sell, sell, transfer, assign, encumber, grant an option
for the purchase or sale of, pledge or otherwise dispose of any beneficial
interest in such securities for a period of 13 months following the date of this
Prospectus without the prior written consent of the Representative ("Lock-up
Period"). An appropriate legend shall be marked on the face of certificates
representing all such securities. The Selling Security Holders have agreed not
to offer, agree or offer to sell, sell, transfer, assign, encumber, grant an
option for the purchase or sale of, pledge or otherwise dispose of any
beneficial interest in the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Bridge
Warrants for a period of 180 days following the date of this Prospectus.
 
     In connection with this Offering, the Company has agreed to sell to the
Representative, for nominal consideration, warrants to purchase from the Company
up to 100,000 shares of Common Stock and/or up to 100,000 Warrants (the
"Representative's Warrants"). The Representative's Warrants are initially
exercisable
 
                                       64
<PAGE>   65
 
at a price of $7.50 per share and $0.125 per Warrant for a period of four years,
commencing one year from the effective date of the Registration Statement and
are restricted from sale, transfer, assignment or hypothecation for a period of
twelve months from the effective date of the Registration Statement, except to
officers of the Representative. The Representative's Warrants provide for
adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock and Warrants issuable upon
the exercise thereof as a result of certain subdivisions and combinations of the
Common Stock. The Representative's Warrants grant to the holders thereof certain
rights of registration for the securities issuable upon exercise thereof.
 
     The Company has agreed, at the request of the Representative, that for
three years after the date of this Prospectus, it will use its best efforts to
cause one individual designated by the Representative to be elected to the
Company's Board of Directors. The Company has also agreed to reimburse the
Representative for approximately $5,000 in due diligence expenses incurred in
connection with this Offering.
 
     Prior to this Offering, there has been no public market for the Common
Stock or the Warrants. Consequently, the initial public offering prices of the
Common Stock and the Warrants and the exercise price of the Warrants have been
determined by negotiation between the Company and the Representative and do not
necessarily bear any relationship to the Company's asset value, net worth, or
other established criteria of value. The factors considered in such
negotiations, in addition to prevailing market conditions, included the history
of and prospects for the industry in which the Company competes, an assessment
of the Company's management, the prospects of the Company, its capital
structure, the market for initial public offerings and certain other factors as
were deemed relevant.
 
     Upon the exercise of any Warrants more than one year after the date of this
Prospectus, which exercise was solicited by the Representative, and to the
extent not inconsistent with the guidelines of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") and the Rules and Regulations of the
Commission, the Company has agreed to pay the Representative a commission that
will not exceed 5% of the aggregate exercise price of such Warrants in
connection with bona fide services provided by the Representative relating to
any warrant solicitation undertaken by the Representative. In addition, the
individual must designate the firm entitled to payment of such warrant
solicitation fee. A warrant solicitation fee will be paid only to the
Representative or another NASD member when such NASD member is specifically
designated in writing as the soliciting broker by the warrant holder (customer).
However, no compensation will be paid to the Representative in connection with
the exercise of the Warrants if (a) the market price of the Common Stock is
lower than the exercise price, (b) the Warrants are held in a discretionary
account, or (c) the exercise of the Warrants is not solicited by the
Representative . Unless granted an exemption by the Commission from Rule 10b-6
under the Exchange Act, the Representative and any soliciting broker-dealers
will be prohibited from engaging in any market-making activities or solicited
brokerage activities with regard to the Company's securities for the period from
nine business days (or such other applicable period(s) as Rule 10b-6 may
provide) prior to any solicitation of the exercise of the Warrants until the
later of the termination of such solicitation activity or the termination (by
waiver or otherwise) of any right that the Representative and any soliciting
broker-dealers may have to receive a fee for the exercise of the Warrants
following such solicitation. As a result, the Representative and any soliciting
broker-dealers may be unable to continue to provide a market for the Common
Stock or Warrants during certain periods while the Warrants are exercisable. If
the Representative has engaged in any of the activities prohibited by Rule 10b-6
during the periods described above, the Representative has undertaken to waive
unconditionally its rights to receive a commission on the exercise of such
Warrants.
 
     In August 1996, the Representative acted as a non-exclusive placement agent
for a portion of the Bridge Financing. The Representative received a 10%
commission in the amount of $40,000.
 
     The foregoing is a summary of the principal terms of the agreements
described above and does not purport to be complete. Reference is made to a copy
of each such agreement which are filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement
of which this Prospectus is a part. See "Additional Information."

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
The Board of Directors
Complete Wellness Centers, Inc.
 
     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Complete
Wellness Centers, Inc. (the "Company"), as of December 31, 1995 and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for
the year then ended and for the period from the date of inception (November 17,
1994) through December 31, 1994. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
the Company at December 31, 1995 and the consolidated results of its operations
and its cash flows for the year then ended and for the period from the date of
inception (November 17, 1994) through December 31, 1994 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
         FOR THE PERIOD FROM THE DATE OF INCEPTION (NOVEMBER 17, 1994)
           THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND AS OF AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED
               DECEMBER 31, 1995 (AUDITED) AND FOR THE NINE-MONTH
             PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 AND 1996 (UNAUDITED)
 
1.  ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
     Complete Wellness Centers, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in
Delaware in November 1994 and was in the development stage through December 31,
1994. The Company develops and operates integrated medical centers (the
"Integrated Medical Centers") primarily in the States of Virginia and Florida.
As of and for the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company's sole operation is
the management of an Integrated Medical Center located in Virginia.
 
     The Company is the managing member of Complete Wellness Centers, LLC ("CWC,
LLC") and has a 1% equity ownership interest. CWC, LLC acquired certain
furniture and equipment of a chiropractic clinic for $15,000 in cash and a
$25,000 note payable. The assets were used to establish an Integrated Medical
Center at the same location as the previous chiropractic clinic. No working
capital, patient files or employees were transferred as a result of the
transaction. The Integrated Medical Center is managed by the Company.
 
     CWC, LLC was formed in Delaware in March 1995 and was capitalized through
the issuance of 13.3 Class A units. The Company has an option for a seven-year
period to purchase all of the units at an exercise price in an amount such that
the Class A members shall receive a 12% cumulative preferred return plus a
multiple of their capital contribution ranging from two in the first year to
four in the seventh year. The exercise price shall be paid by the Company to the
Class A members within 120 days of the Company exercising the call option and is
payable either in cash or a combination of cash and, if it is publicly traded at
the exercise date, stock of the Company. The Company has obtained irrevocable
proxies valid for the life of CWC, LLC from the holders of a majority of the
Class A units to exercise all of their voting rights.
 
     The consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts of Complete
Wellness Centers, Inc. and CWC, LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiary Complete
Wellness Center of Fredericksburg, Inc. Significant intercompany transactions
have been eliminated. The financial statements of CWC, LLC are consolidated with
the Company's financial statements because the Company has unilateral, perpetual
and non-temporary control (via signed irrevocable proxies from the holders of a
majority in interest of the membership interests of CWC, LLC) over the assets
and business operations of CWC, LLC and, notwithstanding the lack of technical
majority ownership, consolidation of CWC, LLC is necessary to present fairly the
financial position and results of operations of the Company.
 
     The Company has recorded its obligation to the Class A members holding 99%
of the members interest of CWC, LLC as minority interest.
 
     The Company's initial strategy was to develop approximately 25 Integrated
Medical Centers through December 31, 1996. Management expected the cash flow
generated from the Company's Integrated Medical Centers and the bridge loan (see
Note 5) to provide sufficient working capital resources to enable the Company to
implement this plan. To date the Company has developed 8 Integrated Medical
Centers, and now hopes to complete approximately 63 additional Integrated
Medical Centers in 1997. Throughout the development period the Company has
experienced continued operating losses and negative cash flows. The capital
needs of continuing operations and the expected expansion will require the
Company to obtain additional capital through incurring additional debt or the
completion of private or public equity offerings. The Company does not currently
have any committed sources of additional capital and substantially all of its
assets are secured as collateral for notes issued in connection with the 1996
bridge loan. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise
additional capital when needed on satisfactory terms or at all. If the

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
1.  ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION -- (CONTINUED)

Company is unable to secure additional sources of financing, when needed, its
expansion strategy could be materially adversely affected.
 
     The Company entered into contracts with twenty chiropractors during the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 to develop Integrated Medical Centers. The
total costs of developing these centers are expected to be approximately
$600,000.
 
     Under the agreements entered into in 1996, the Company will open new
Integrated Medical Centers in the same location as chiropractors' existing
chiropractic practices (the "Affiliated Practices"). The Integrated Medical
Centers will employ a physician (the "MD") on a salaried basis to supervise the
provision of health care services. Where permitted by state law, the Integrated
Medical Centers will be wholly-owned by the Company. In other jurisdictions, the
Integrated Medical Centers will be wholly-owned by another MD. The chiropractor
will continue to operate his or her existing Affiliated Practice separately from
the Integrated Medical Center. The Company will not acquire the Affiliated
Practice, its patient base, or its tangible assets. In addition, no
consideration will be paid to the chiropractor at inception of the arrangements.
 
     The Company also entered into contractual arrangements with each
chiropractor whereby (1) the Company will lease from the chiropractor or the
chiropractor's existing chiropractic practice certain facilities and equipment
for the use of the Integrated Medical Center, (2) the Company will provide
certain management services to the Integrated Medical Centers, (3) a management
company controlled by the chiropractor will provide substantially all
administrative services to the Integrated Medical Center on behalf of the
Company, and (4) the Integrated Medical Center will pay the chiropractor a fixed
salary to render chiropractic services to patients of the Integrated Medical
Center. The Company will not provide management services to, and will not
receive any fees from, the existing Affiliated Practice. The agreements are for
an initial period of either five or ten years.
 
     The Company recognizes all revenue and expenses of the Integrated Medical
Centers formed as wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company or CWC LLC. The
financial results of Integrated Medical Centers organized as physician-owned
professional corporations are not consolidated in the Company's financial
statements. In such cases, the Company recognizes only the fees derived by the
Company through its management agreements.
 
     Patient revenue from services is reported at the estimated realizable
amounts from patients and third party payors for services rendered.
Substantially all of the patient service revenue of the Integrated Medical
Centers is paid by the patients and traditional commercial insurers. The
Integrated Medical Centers do not currently have any HMO contracts.
 
     Management or other contractual fees earned by the Company that are related
to wholly-owned Integrated Medical Centers, regardless of the source of payment,
are eliminated in the Company's consolidated financial statements. Net
management fees to be received by the Company related to physician-owned
Integrated Medical Centers are computed as a percentage of the patient billings
of the Integrated Medical Center. Such fees are recognized monthly based upon
the reported accrual basis operating results of the Centers.
 
2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
USE OF ESTIMATES
 
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- (CONTINUED)

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
     The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include currency on
hand, demand deposits, and all highly liquid investments with an original
maturity of three months or less.
 
FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT
 
     Furniture and equipment are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable
value. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation
is computed using the straight-line method at rates intended to amortize the
cost of the related assets over their estimated useful lives.
 
     Furniture and equipment of the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever
events or circumstances indicate that the asset's undiscounted expected cash
flows are not sufficient to recover its carrying amount. The Company measures an
impairment loss by comparing the fair value of the asset to its carrying amount.
Fair value of an asset is calculated as the present value of expected future
cash flows.
 
INCOME TAXES
 
     Income taxes are provided using the liability method in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes." Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
basis (i.e., temporary differences).
 
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
     The Company grants stock options for a fixed number of shares to employees.
In October 1995, the FASB issued Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, which provides an alternative to APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees, in accounting for stock-based compensation issued
to employees. The Statement allows for a fair-value-based method of accounting
for employee stock options and similar equity instruments and requires certain
disclosure of the pro forma effect on net income and earnings per share of its
fair-value-based accounting for those arrangements if the fair value method of
accounting is not adopted. These disclosure requirements are effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995, or upon initial adoption of the
statement, if earlier. The Company has elected to continue to account for
stock-based compensation arrangements under APB Opinion No. 25 and accordingly
recognizes compensation expense for the stock option grants as the difference
between the fair value and the exercise price at the grant date but will provide
the required pro forma disclosures in the December 31, 1996 consolidated
financial statements.
 
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
     Management has determined the estimated fair value of financial instruments
using available market information and valuation methodologies. Cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and
other current assets and liabilities are carried at amounts which reasonably
approximate their fair values. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret
market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the estimates
presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could
realize on disposition of the financial instruments. The use of different market
assumptions or estimation methodologies may have an effect on the estimated fair
value amounts.

INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
     The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been included. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September
30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ending December 31, 1996.

1996 BRIDGE LOAN
 
     On August 15, 1996, the Company completed a private placement of $1.1
million of 12% notes. In connection with the agreement, the lendors have been
issued detachable warrants with an exercise price of $0.003 to purchase 183,333
shares of Common Stock, assuming an initial public offering price of $6.00 per
share (176,000 shares if the Company does not close an Initial Public Offering
("IPO") by June 30, 1997). An additional 3,333 warrants with an exercise price
of $0.003 were given to a broker/dealer as consideration for assisting with the
financing. The fair value of the lender and broker/dealer warrants, $5,920, was
recognized as a discount on the loan of which $1,960 was amortized through
September 30, 1996. The outstanding notes bear interest at 12% and are callable
on June 30, 1997 at the sole discretion of the lendors. Accrued interest is
payable quarterly beginning January 1, 1997; principal is payable in one
installment on the earlier of an IPO or the due date. The loan is secured by
substantially all of the Company's assets. In the event of an IPO by the
Company, the principal amount plus accrued interest becomes due.
 
6.  INCOME TAXES
 
     Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences

purposes and the amount used for income tax purposes. The tax effects of
temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax
assets and deferred tax liabilities recognized as of December 31, 1995 are

     At September 30, 1996, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for
income tax purposes of approximately $521,000, which expire in 2011.
 
     The Company has a cumulative pretax loss for financial reporting purposes.
Recognition of deferred tax assets will require generation of future taxable
income. There can be no assurance that the Company will generate any earnings or
any specific level of earnings in future years. Therefore, the Company
established a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets of $78,915 and $287,536
as of December 31, 1995 and September 30, 1996, (unaudited) respectively. These
carryforwards may be significantly limited under the Internal Revenue Service
Code as a result of ownership changes resulting from the Company's redeemable
convertible Preferred Stock financing and other equity offerings.

meets the Company's expectations, the Company expects to develop additional
Integrated Medical Centers at other Bally's Total Fitness Centers. In such
event, the Company expects to select Bally's Total Fitness Centers located near
other Integrated Medical Centers. Integrated Medical Centers developed pursuant
to the License Agreement will not treat patients covered by any federal or state
funded health care program.
 
10.  PRO FORMA NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE (UNAUDITED)
 
     The Company's pro forma net loss per share calculations are based upon the
weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and the number of
shares of Common Stock resulting from the assumed conversion of the Series A
Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 83, options to purchase Common
Stock issued at prices below the initial public offering price during the twelve
months immediately preceding the contemplated initial filing of the registration
statement relating to the IPO, have been included in the computation of net loss
per share as if they were outstanding for all periods presented (using the
treasury method assuming repurchase of common stock at the estimated IPO price).
Subsequent to the Company's IPO, options under the treasury stock method will be
included to the extent they are dilutive.

11.  RELATED PARTY (UNAUDITED)
 
     In August 1996, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with
J.E.M., Inc. ("JEM"), the sole stockholders of which are Dr. Kaplan, the
Company's Senior Director of Operations and Development, and his wife. Under the
terms of the consulting agreement, JEM agreed to provide advice and assistance
to the Company in connection with identifying and affiliating with chiropractors
and their existing chiropractic practices and identifying, acquiring, and/or
managing businesses engaged in providing services ancillary to those provided by
Integrated Medical Centers. The Company agreed to pay JEM $6,000 per month for
its services. The term of the consulting agreement expires in August 1999 and
may be terminated sooner by mutual agreement of the parties, by the Company for
"cause," defined as a violation by JEM of any material provision of the
consulting agreement not remedied within 30 days after notification or JEM's
conviction of a felony, upon termination of the employment agreement between Dr.
Kaplan and the Company, or JEM's failure to meet certain performance goals.
 
12.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
 
     On December 15, 1996, the Board of Directors authorized management of the
Company to file a registration statement with the SEC permitting the Company to
sell shares of its Common Stock to the public. If the IPO is closed under the
terms presently anticipated, all of the Series A Preferred Stock outstanding
will automatically convert into 145,800 shares of Common Stock.
 
1996 STOCK OPTIONS
 
     During 1996 the Company instituted another nonqualified stock option plan
for employees, directors, consultants and advisors. Pursuant to the plan, up to
200,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for issuance. No options have
been granted, exercised or forfeited.

12.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED) -- (CONTINUED)

     In 1996 the Company also instituted a separate nonqualified stock option
plan for persons employed by or associated with the Company's Integrated Medical
Centers. Pursuant to the plan, up to 100,000 shares of Common Stock have been
reserved for issuance. No options have been granted, exercised or forfeited.
 
SHAREHOLDER ADVANCE
 
     The Company has advanced approximately $37,000 to Mr. McMillen without
interest. Mr. McMillen is to repay such amount upon consummation of the
Offering.
 
JOINT VENTURE
 
     In November 1996 the Company signed a non-binding letter of intent with
Complete Management, Inc. ("CMI"), pursuant to which it is contemplated that the
Company and CMI will form a joint venture to develop Integrated Medical Centers
at selected Bally's Total Fitness Centers or other health clubs in the greater
New York City metropolitan area. The letter of intent contemplates that CMI,
upon execution of a definitive joint venture agreement, will be issued warrants
to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price
equal to 120% of the initial public offering price per share. The Company cannot
predict whether the letter of intent will lead to a definitive agreement or
whether the terms of any such definitive agreement will be the same as the terms
contemplated by the letter of intent. The letter of intent expires February 28,
1997.
 
CONSULTING AGREEMENT
 
     In November 1996 the Company also entered into a management subcontract
agreement (the "IPM Agreement") with Integrated Physicians Management Co., LLC
("IPM") to manage for IPM nine medical clinics that were integrated by IPM,
subject to the approval of the clinics. In general, IPM's fees under the
contracts with the medical clinics it integrated are either 10% of a clinic's
gross collections for all services or 20% of its gross collections for medical
services only. The Company is to be paid 80% of the fees that IPM would have
been paid in the absence of the IPM Agreement.
 
     Further, in November 1996, the Company entered into a five year consulting
agreement (the "Kats Agreement") with Kats Management, LLC ("Kats Management"),
a company under common control with IPM that has represented to the Company that
it provides management and consulting services to over 600 chiropractic clinics.
Under the Kats Agreement, Kats Management agreed to advise and assist the
Company in (i) identifying and negotiating with chiropractors and their existing
chiropractic practices with which the Company might affiliate for the purpose of
developing additional Integrated Medical Centers and (ii) developing Integrated
Medical Centers. The Company agreed to pay Kats Management for each agreement
entered into by the Company with a chiropractor identified by Kats Management
(i) a commission equal to 20% of the Company's integration fee under such
agreement during the initial term of the agreement (see "-- Agreements With
Affiliated Chiropractors and Other Licensed Practitioners -- Integrated Medical
Center Management and Security Agreement"), (ii) a fixed fee not to exceed $350,
and (iii) a bonus of $10,000 for each of the first five such agreements and
$5,000 for each of the next 25 such agreements. In addition, the Company agreed
to grant Kats Management, subject to a vesting schedule, nonqualified options to
purchase 11,000 shares of Common Stock under the Company's 1994 Stock Option
Plan at an exercise price equal to 75% of the initial public offering price per
share. The Company neither paid nor will pay any percentage-based compensation
under the Kats Agreement pending review of the agreement with counsel.
 
INTEGRATED MEDICAL CENTER TERMINATION
 
     The Company ceased operating one Integrated Medical Center and plans to
dissolve the Medcorp after having terminated its agreement with the affiliated
chiropractor and his management company for material breach. The Company
anticipates no material adverse financial effect as a result of such
termination.
