Job Description
Most chiropractic jobs don't give you the time to do your best work.
Short visits. High volume. Little room to create real, lasting change.
If you've ever felt like you could do more for your patients but the model you're in won't let you, this might be what you've been looking for.
About Us
Rooted Movement Chiropractic is a sports and rehab-focused clinic in Ithaca, NY built around 60-minute, one-on-one visits.
We work with active adults and athletes who want real answers and long-term results, not quick fixes.
We are not a high-volume clinic. We are a place to practice the way you always thought chiropractic should be done.
What Makes This Role Different
Every visit gives you the time to:
- Actually listen
- Fully assess movement
- Use hands-on care
- Guide patients through rehab
- Help them understand their body
No rushing. No stacking patients. No insurance constraints telling you how to treat.
Just real time with real patients doing real work.
Our Clinical Approach
Care is built around a movement-first model. We combine:
- Soft tissue work
- Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS)
- McKenzie Method principles
- SFMA-based assessment
- Strength training and progressive rehab
Patients are active participants in their care. Outcomes reflect that.
Mentorship and Growth
This is not just a job. It is a place to grow as a clinician.
You will work directly with Dr. Arden and receive ongoing mentorship in:
- Clinical reasoning and patient communication
- Movement assessment and rehab programming
- Hands-on treatment techniques
- Building confidence in a rehab-based model
We are looking for someone who wants to develop their skills and grow within the practice long-term, not just fill a seat.
Who This Is For
You might be a recent grad who already knows you want to practice differently.
Or you might be working in a high-volume clinic right now, feeling limited by short visits and cookie-cutter care.
Either way, this role is a great fit if you:
- Want more time with each patient
- Enjoy rehab, movement, and soft tissue work
- Care about finding root causes, not just managing symptoms
- Want to build real relationships and long-term results
- Are open to learning and growing as a clinician
Compensation and Benefits
- Base salary: $70,000 to $90,000 with growth potential
- Full-time position
- Structured schedule
- Ongoing mentorship and clinical development
- Long-term growth opportunity within a rapidly growing practice
