Associate Chiropractor — Wauwatosa, WI
We don't tell people to stop.
We get you back to the start line.
Front Runner is a small, boutique practice built for runners and active people who refuse to quit. We're looking for a doctor who wants to build a career here — not fill a shift.
Who We're Looking For
Built Differently — and we need a doctor who is too.
We're not a cattle-call clinic and we're not a franchise. Patients know us by name, care plans are built around real race calendars, and the experience is elevated — fjord tables, felted sheets, unhurried visits. If you want to see 30+ patients a week, own a real book of patients, and actually be in their corner instead of rushing them out the door, this is your seat.
The Front Runner Method
You won't be guessing how we treat. You'll be trained into it.
Every associate learns the same four-step framework — so care is consistent no matter who's on the table.
01
Assess
Full head-to-toe evaluation, every visit — not just the spot that hurts.
02
Diagnose the root cause
The knee pain is usually not a knee problem. We find the real source.
03
Treat, adaptively
Hands-on, whole-body care — adjusted to what the body needs that day.
04
Plan to the calendar
Race in 3 days or 3 months — the plan is built around their goal, not ours.
The Details
Responsibilities & requirements
Responsibilities
- Deliver hands-on, whole-body care using the Front Runner Method
- Build real relationships — patients are partners, not appointment slots
- Speak the brand: certainty over fear, partnership over prescription
- Own your caseload as you ramp — shadow, co-treat, then run your own book
- Bring ideas — this is a practice built by someone who thinks out loud
Requirements
- Licensed (or license-eligible) DC in Wisconsin
- Genuine care for people over "clocking in" — long-haul mindset
- Comfortable in a small, high-touch practice environment
- Coachable — willing to train into our method, tone, and tech (Jane, Shockwave, EMTT)
- Believer in "no packages, no pressure" care
Our Culture
A sports-focused practice — not a general family chiropractic office.
We work with runners, athletes, lifters, and active adults who want to keep training, competing, and doing the things they love. Because of that, we're looking for a doctor who genuinely values health, fitness, movement, and performance in their own life.
You do not need to be a competitive athlete or a runner. You do need to understand active people because you are one. Running, strength training, cycling, CrossFit, Hyrox, triathlon, hiking, yoga, or another active pursuit can all fit our culture.
Qualifications
- Doctor of Chiropractic degree
- Wisconsin licensed or license-eligible
- Genuine personal interest in health, fitness, movement, and an active lifestyle
- Strong interest in sports chiropractic, movement, performance, and recovery
- Comfortable treating runners, athletes, lifters, and active adults
- Understands why an athlete may want a solution that allows them to continue training rather than simply being told to stop
- Coachable, clinically curious, and interested in developing advanced skills
- Comfortable building relationships inside and outside the clinic
- Willing to participate consistently in the local active community
- Interested in owning and growing a patient book
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
Compensation
$60,000 base salary + uncapped performance bonus.
Your first 90 days are a protected ramp period, giving you time to learn the Front Runner clinical approach, integrate into the practice, and begin building your patient book. After ramp, you'll be eligible for an uncapped bonus tied to collected revenue from your patient book.
$60K
Base salary
Protected fully through your 90-day ramp period — no pressure while you learn the method and build your book.
$75K–$100K+
Realistic total comp
As your book grows — via an uncapped bonus on collected revenue, not a volume grind.
$1,000+
Annual CE funding
Toward approved continuing education, with opportunities for additional Front Runner-funded clinical training — including ART — after ramp.
We intentionally operate as a boutique sports practice, so increasing your earning potential does not require a traditional high-volume chiropractic model.
Your first 90 days are base-only, protected — no pressure to hit a number while you're still ramping up. KPI target after ramp: 30 patient visits/week average, reviewed quarterly with you.
Why Front Runner
Real infrastructure
Online booking, automated reminders, clean systems already built — you focus on patients, not chaos.
A real path forward
We're growing deliberately toward a second associate — this is ground-floor, not a dead-end seat.
A brand with roots
A loyal, referral-driven running community across Wauwatosa and Milwaukee that already trusts the name.
