What are the responsibilities and job description for the Associate / Clinic Director Chiropractor position at The Athlete Stop?
Job Summary
We are seeking a driven, sports-focused chiropractor to serve as the primary doctor and clinic director in our Grand Junction, Colorado location.
This is not an "adjust-and-go" position, and it is not for someone looking for a full schedule handed to them on day one. This role is built for a chiropractor who wants clinical autonomy, leadership responsibility, and the opportunity to develop a respected sports and medical-referral practice.
About the Clinic
We are a sports and soft tissue-tissue-based chiropractic clinic focused on:
- Treating athletes and active individuals
- Providing hands-on soft-tissue care and movement-based treatment
- Spending meaningful time with patients
- Delivering results that medical providers trust and refer to
We are actively creating and expanding MD referral relationships, and this position will play a central role in that process.

- Evaluating and treating patients independently
- Building patient volume over time
- Managing daily clinic operations
