Job Description
Full-time Chiropractor (DC)
Memphis, TN (East Memphis, Midtown, Bartlett, Collierville) and Southaven, MS
Practice chiropractic. Skip insurance billing.
We are a locally owned The Joint Chiropractic group—five clinics, first location opened in Memphis in 2013. We have full-time Doctor of Chiropractic openings at our Memphis-area and Southaven clinics. New graduates and experienced DCs are both welcome.
This is a walk-in, membership-based model. You examine, adjust, educate, and document. The front desk runs the lobby. You are not chasing insurance claims or running a practice.
We are a wellness-based practice. The work is routine, affordable chiropractic care—walk-in visits and membership patients who want to feel better and stay that way. This is not a personal injury, workers’ comp, or insurance-based clinic.
Pay
- 5-day full-time: $75,000 base + monthly performance bonuses. Typical total compensation $84,000–$110,000
- 4-day schedules may also be available
- Weekend shifts include a higher bonus rate
Company-paid Malpractice Insurance
Bonuses are based on clinic results and shared among the DCs who worked that clinic, by hours worked. Details are explained in the interview.

- PTO that increases with tenure: 2 weeks to start, 3 weeks at 5 years, 4 weeks at 10 years

Schedule: Full-time, 5 days per week (4-day schedules may be available)
- Monday–Friday 10am–7pm, closed for lunch 2:00–2:45
- Open Saturday and Sunday (shorter hours)
- Weekend coverage is required and rotated
The Work
- Treat walk-in and membership patients—typically up to about 50 visits in a day; a second DC is scheduled when volume runs higher
- Consult, examine, and deliver spinal and extremity adjustments
- Review histories and imaging when appropriate
- Explain care plans in plain language and support an excellent patient experience
- Document in the clinic EHR
- Work as a team with Wellness Coordinators and other DCs
Our doctors range from one month out of school to 40 years in practice. There is a lot of adjusting, a family-style team, and mentorship if you want it. Our main focus is providing the best patient experience possible.
