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.

Benefits

  • Medical, dental, and vision
  • Paid holidays
  • PTO that increases with tenure: 2 weeks to start, 3 weeks at 5 years, 4 weeks at 10 years
  • Paid lunch break

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.

Requirements

DC Degree from a CCE-accredited College

  • Active TN and/or MS chiropractic license before you treat patients (we can hire you while the license is in process)
  • NBCE Parts I–IV (SPEC accepted where applicable) and any state-required exams
  • Eligible for malpractice coverage

Comfortable in a Busy Walk-in Clinic

  • Authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship
  • Available to start as soon as you are licensed to treat

Nice to Have

  • TN license in hand (most of our volume is in Tennessee)
  • Willingness to add a Mississippi license if needed
  • Apply with your resume and a short note on your license status (TN, MS, both, or in process).

Key Responsibilities

The Chiropractor will perform patient consultations, physical examinations, and deliver spinal and extremity adjustments in a high-volume clinic setting. They are also responsible for documenting patient care in the EHR and educating patients on wellness-based care plans.
