The Associate Chiropractor will work alongside Dr. August Manelick and an established administrative, billing, and massage therapy team. This position provides the opportunity to develop an individual patient base while practicing in a supportive, community-focused clinic.

We are willing to discuss either a four- or five-day workweek based on the candidate’s preferences, clinic needs, patient access, and the final agreed‑upon schedule.
