Atkinson Family Practice is looking to hire a chiropractor to replace our current chiropractor who has been here for 5 years and is leaving in May. We are looking for someone with a similar skillset and evidence based approach, combining soft tissue work, rehabilitative exercise and chiropractic care and working effectively with an evidence based approach alongside our medical staff and other specialists to help care for our large patient base. The right candidate will need to be comfortable working independently as they will be the only chiropractor at the practice, but also communicating with and managing care alongside our primary care team, acupuncturist, behavioral health specialists, physical therapist and nutritionist. 

Our current chiropractor has built a large patient base with a specialty in sports medicine, however there is opportunity to see lots of pregnancy and postpartum patients as we are a family medicine practice. 

Visit times have been 30 minutes for follow ups and 1 hour for new patients with a 4 day work week split between our two offices in Northampton and Amherst, seeing on average between 50-60 patients per week. We are open to somewhat shorter visit times, however we are looking for someone to spend time with patients and provide comprehensive care, not a high volume practitioner. 

We are open to a new graduate or experienced practitioner.

A qualified candidate will have:

-Active DC license in MA

-Evidence based approach

-Ideally experience working in a multidisciplinary setting

-Combination of soft tissue (ideally ART) and exercise prescription knowledge

-Strong communication skills
