Sports Chiropractor

Momentum Chiropractic + Sports Medicine is hiring an Associate Doctor of Chiropractic with 2+ years of clinical experience to join a sports medicine-focused practice in the Portland metro area built around longer, one-on-one visit times rather than high patient volume. This role is built for a doctor who is past the early ramp-up phase and ready to build a full patient load with real autonomy — someone who already has a treatment style, a comfort level with manual therapy and rehab, and the clinical judgment to manage a mixed caseload of sports medicine, general wellness, and motor vehicle accident (MVA/PIP) patients.

We are not looking for someone who needs to be taught how to adjust. We're looking for a doctor who wants a well-run clinic, a full schedule, and a growth path — whether that means building a specialty niche, taking on leadership responsibility, or simply practicing at a high level without the overhead of running a business.

WHY MOMENTUM

Built to grow, not thrown to zero: You are expected to build your full schedule over time — through PIP/MVA intake, sports medicine referrals, and a strong word-of-mouth and Google review pipeline. Existing patients will be transferred to your schedule where it's a good fit for the patient, giving you a head start rather than starting from zero.

Time to treat, not just churn: Longer visit times mean real one-on-one care — you're not rushing through a high-volume schedule to hit a visit quota, you're building relationships and treatment plans that actually work.

Integrated care team: Chiropractic, sports medicine, massage therapy (LMT), and rehab under one roof, so you can build real treatment plans instead of working in a silo.

Earning potential tied to your production: Commission-based compensation with a defined path to higher collection tiers as your patient volume grows.

Room to specialize: A specialty focus (e.g., running/endurance athletes, MVA/PIP care) is a real differentiator here, not just a talking point — we actively market provider specialties.

Clear expectations, not guesswork: Documented onboarding, role-clarity expectations, and a 2-year/5-year review cycle mean you'll know exactly what's expected of you and how you're evaluated.

Qualifications

Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree

Manual therapy skills: Sports chiropractors should have proficiency in manual therapy techniques such as ART, Graston, and myofascial release
