Hiring Associate Chiropractor for Low Volume High Reward Practice in Indiana
Job description:
Associate Chiropractor – Patient-Centered, Cash-Based Practice
Columbus, Indiana
About the Practice
We are a thriving, cash-based chiropractic practice built on a simple philosophy: exceptional care, meaningful relationships, and sustainable work-life balance.
Less than a year after opening, we stopped accepting new patients and maintain a 98% patient retention rate—a reflection of the trust and results we deliver.
This is not a high-volume, burnout-style clinic. We prioritize:
- Quality over quantity
- Whole-person health over quick adjustments
- Long-term relationships over transactions
Our patient base includes all ages, with a strong focus on women, pregnancy, and pediatric care.
Our Approach
Care goes far beyond adjustments. We integrate:
- Diversified, flexion, activator, and drop techniques
- Soft tissue work and rehab
- Ultrasound and adjunct therapies
- Movement and exercise guidance
- Nutrition, supplementation, and hydration
- Stress, sleep, and lifestyle coaching
The Opportunity
We are looking for a chiropractor who aligns with our philosophy and is excited to grow within a low-volume, high-impact environment.
This is a collections-based position (no base salary)—ideal for someone entrepreneurial who values autonomy, flexibility, and long-term upside.
Schedule
- Monday: 1 PM – 6 PM
- Tuesday: 8 AM – 1 PM
- Wednesday: 1 PM – 6 PM
- Thursday: 8 AM – 1 PM
- Friday: Flexible
- 4 weeks unpaid time off annually
Compensation
Percentage-based on collections:
- 0–30 visits/week: 55%
- 31–50 visits/week: 60%
- 51+ visits/week: 65%
Income Example:
If you average 50 patient visits per week at $75 per visit:
- Your earnings at 60%: $2,250/week
- Annual earnings (48 working weeks): $108,000
With higher volume efficiency, income increases accordingly.
What We Offer
- Malpractice coverage assistance
- CEU support
- iPad or laptop provided
- Simple IRA option
- No non-compete agreement
- A supportive, positive, low-stress work environment
Who This Is For
This role is ideal for someone who:
- Values patient-centered care over high volume
- Wants work-life balance without sacrificing income potential
- Is comfortable building their schedule over the first few months
- Takes a holistic, relationship-driven approach to healthcare
- Is motivated, dependable, and aligned with a wellness-focused model
