Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes Income TaxesDuring the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded income tax expense of $841,889 and $13,224, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory tax rate due to permanent differences, discrete items and state taxes. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily due the company’s employee retention credit refunds from the Internal Revenue Service. The tax effect of the refund amount, net of the related consulting fees, is treated as a discrete item for the quarter (See Note 11 "Employee Retention Credit"). The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the pre-tax income reported by the Joint Corp., without the VIEs.
