Job description

DOCTOR OF CHIROPRACTIC

Full-Time Clinic-Building Opportunity

$75K-$100K+ Annual Earning Potential | Fee-Based Pay Per Shift | Merit-Based Bonuses | High-Volume Clinic

ARE YOU THE KIND OF DOCTOR WHO WANTS TO BUILD SOMETHING?

We're not looking for someone who simply wants to clock in, adjust patients, and clock out.

We're looking for a high-performing Doctor of Chiropractic who wants to make an impact, take ownership, build patient relationships, grow a clinic, and become better every year.

If you want to be challenged, if you welcome accountability, if you take pride in your work, and if you want your effort to actually matter, keep reading.

If you're looking for a place to simply fill a schedule, this probably isn't it.

And that's okay.

We're looking for a different kind of Doctor.

THE OPPORTUNITY

• Full-time Doctor of Chiropractic
• $75K-$100K+ Annual Earning Potential, Fee-Based Pay Per Shift, Merit-Based Bonus Opportunities
• Flexible schedule designed to support family and work-life balance
• Clinic hours: Monday-Friday 10:00 AM-2:00 PM and 2:45 PM-7:00 PM; Saturdays 10:00 AM-4:00 PM; closed Sundays
• Healthcare coverage
• Paid lunch breaks
• PTO
• Paid malpractice insurance
• CE reimbursement
• Bonus opportunities
• Weekly DC team meetings focused on communication, best practices, growth, and continuous improvement
• Opportunities to advance into Lead Doctor, management, and future ownership

THIS IS MORE THAN A DOCTOR SHIFT.

You will have the opportunity to influence:

Patient volume.

Patient retention.

Patient relationships.

Clinic growth.

Team culture.

Your own professional development.

We believe doctors should be able to see the connection between the quality of their work and the results they create.

The question isn't simply: “Can you adjust patients?”

The question is: “Can you help build a great clinic?”

WHO ARE YOU?

You're the kind of Doctor who:

• Pursues excellence: You hold yourself to a high standard, even when nobody is watching.
• Takes ownership: You don't blame the schedule, the front desk, the patient, or the circumstances. You look for what you can influence.
• Is accountable: You show up, follow through, communicate, and own your results.
• Is ambitious: You want to grow personally, professionally, and financially.
• Is a self-starter: You see what needs to happen and take action.
• Is coachable: You don't view feedback as criticism. You view it as an opportunity to become better.
• Is competitive with yourself: You want tomorrow's performance to be better than yesterday's.
• Builds relationships: You understand that great chiropractic care requires trust.
• Thinks beyond the adjustment: You care about the patient experience, retention, referrals, and the health of the clinic.
• Wants responsibility: You aren't afraid of being trusted with more.

You don't have to be perfect.

But you do have to want to get better.

THE CHALLENGE

A busy clinic creates opportunity.

And volume alone doesn't make a great Doctor.

Can you deliver excellent adjustments when the clinic is busy?

Can you create genuine relationships with dozens of patients?

Can you educate without overwhelming?

Can you turn a first visit into a long-term relationship?

Can you recognize when something isn't working and take responsibility for improving it?

Can you contribute to a team rather than simply work alongside one?

Can you help a clinic grow while maintaining excellent patient care?

That's the kind of Doctor we're looking for.

WHAT MAKES OUR TEAM DIFFERENT?

Our team purpose is:

Welcome people home by creating teams that feel like family.

And family doesn't mean low standards.

We believe you can care deeply about people and still expect excellence.

Our values are:

• Trust & Connection
• Continuous Improvement & Growth
• Open, Honest, Responsible Communication & Feedback
• Authenticity, Integrity, & Quality-Driven Leadership

We want a team where people feel supported enough to take risks, challenged enough to grow, and accountable enough to become excellent.

OUR MODEL OF CARE

HANDS-ON CARE

We prioritize hands-on chiropractic adjusting. We believe this is a unique skillset of chiropractors and a central part of helping patients improve their quality of life.

CONSISTENT VOLUME

We want to help as many people as possible.

More patients served means more lives impacted, more relationships built, stronger referrals, greater clinic growth, and more opportunity for our team.

RAPPORT & REASSURANCE

We educate patients, build trust, answer questions, and help them understand the value of consistent chiropractic care.

We don't just want people to feel better. We want them to BE better.

WHAT MAKES THE JOINT DIFFERENT?

With 960+ clinics nationwide, The Joint Chiropractic is changing access to chiropractic care.

• Patients can utilize care at The Joint clinics nationwide.
• Our health records system supports continuity when patients travel or move.
• Our non-insurance model allows doctors to focus on patient care rather than insurance billing.
• Our affordable model makes routine chiropractic care accessible.
• No appointments are required.
• Evening and Saturday hours make consistent care convenient.
• Our wellness model emphasizes ongoing patient relationships and education.

In 2025, The Joint Chiropractic's nationwide network provided 14.4 million patient visits, with 41% of patients completely new to chiropractic care.

We're helping introduce more people to chiropractic.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Consult with patients by reviewing appropriate health histories and conducting examinations.
• Evaluate patients' neuromusculoskeletal systems and spine.
• Perform manual chiropractic adjustments.
• Educate patients about the benefits of routine chiropractic care.
• Recommend appropriate courses of care.
• Build positive, trusting doctor-patient relationships.
• Maintain accurate and timely patient records.
• Communicate effectively with the chiropractic and front desk teams.
• Contribute to a positive, energetic clinic environment.
• Passionately recommend membership plans and packages when appropriate to provide patients with affordable, consistent care.
• Take ownership of patient retention, clinic growth, and your professional development.

THIS CAN BECOME SOMETHING BIGGER

We aren't interested in putting a ceiling on what a great Doctor can become.

As you demonstrate clinical excellence, leadership, accountability, communication, and the ability to help a clinic grow, opportunities can develop for:

Doctor → Lead Doctor → Management Leadership → Future Clinic Ownership

If you want to lead, we want to develop leaders.

If you want to own, we want to help you understand what it takes to become an owner.

If you want to keep growing as a Doctor, we'll challenge you to do that too.

QUALIFICATIONS

• 4-year bachelor's degree from an accredited college
• Doctor of Chiropractic degree from an accredited chiropractic college
• Passing scores for Parts I, II, III, and IV from NBCE. A recent NBCE SPEC exam is an acceptable alternative for Part IV.
• Valid Wisconsin DC license
• Fully eligible for malpractice insurance in Wisconsin

SO... IS THIS YOU?

If you want a comfortable job where nobody asks much of you, there are probably easier opportunities.

If you want to become excellent, serve people well, build something meaningful, and see what you're capable of, let's talk.

We're looking for a Doctor who doesn't just want to be part of a clinic.

We're looking for a Doctor who wants to help build one.

As Dr. Bob often says to our patients, “We don’t just want you to feel better. We want you to BE better!”
