Synapse Center for Health and Healing is seeking a passionate and highly skilled Functional Medicine Chiropractor to join our dynamic and growing integrative health practice. If you are dedicated to root-cause resolution, practice a systems-based approach to patient care, and thrive in a collaborative environment, we encourage you to apply!
At Synapse, we practice a patient-centered, systems-biology model to empower our patients to achieve optimal health. We integrate advanced functional medicine diagnostics with targeted, personalized therapies—including chiropractic and Applied Kinesiology—to address the complex, underlying drivers of health concerns, fostering true and lasting healing.
About the Role:
We are looking for a Chiropractor whose philosophy extends far beyond traditional musculoskeletal care. You will serve as a primary functional medicine provider, utilizing chiropractic adjustments and manual therapies as key modalities within a comprehensive, whole-body health strategy.
The goal is not just to reduce pain, but to investigate and correct the metabolic, nutritional, and neurological imbalances that lead to chronic conditions. This is a full-time position (approximately 36 hours per week) for a clinician eager to practice at the top of their license.
Key Responsibilities:
- Conduct comprehensive functional medicine case reviews, including detailed patient history, lifestyle analysis, and review of systems.
- Order, interpret, and review advanced functional lab testing (e.g., comprehensive blood chemistry, GI-MAP, DUTCH, organic acids, etc.) to guide clinical decision-making.
- Develop and implement integrative and personalized treatment protocols that include targeted nutritional plans, supplementation, detoxification, and lifestyle interventions.
- Perform chiropractic adjustments, Applied Kinesiology (AK), and other manual therapies to support neurological integrity and structural alignment as part of the broader functional medicine plan.
- Provide in-depth patient education on functional nutrition, stress management, exercise, and other lifestyle interventions crucial for sustainable health.
- Manage patient care related to gut health, hormone balance, autoimmunity, and complex chronic inflammatory conditions.
- Collaborate with our multidisciplinary team to ensure deeply integrated patient care.
- Maintain accurate and timely patient records.
Qualifications:
- Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree from an accredited chiropractic college.
- Valid and active Minnesota chiropractic license.
- Significant training and/or certification in Functional Medicine is required (e.g., IFM, Kresser Institute, Apeiron, FMU, etc.).
- Proficiency and clinical experience with Applied Kinesiology (AK) is required.
- Demonstrable experience in ordering and interpreting a wide range of functional lab panels.
- Strong foundation in clinical nutrition and botanical medicine.
- A relentless commitment to root-cause investigation and a patient-centered, holistic approach.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex health concepts to patients.
- Ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a collaborative team.
Why Join Synapse Center for Health and Healing?
- Practice at the top of your license, integrating advanced diagnostics with hands-on therapies.
- Work in a truly collaborative, multidisciplinary environment (MDs, NPs, Acupuncturists, Health Coaches, etc.).
- Be part of a team dedicated to transformative, lasting patient outcomes.
- A supportive atmosphere that encourages continuous professional growth and learning.
- Competitive compensation and benefits package (details discussed during the interview).
