Job Description

Unruh Spine Centers, a busy, multidisciplinary healthcare practice offering Chiropractic, Physical Therapy, Acupuncture, and Medical Services, is seeking an experienced, dependable, and motivated Medical Assistant to join our team.

The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with blood draws, injections, vital signs, and assisting medical providers with patient care. This individual will work closely with our Nurse Practitioner while also assisting with administrative responsibilities, including insurance verification, scheduling, and patient follow-ups.

This is a cross-trained position. In addition to supporting our medical department, the selected candidate will be trained in our chiropractic department and expected to assist with chiropractic patient care, therapies, and general office operations as needed.

We are looking for someone who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment, takes initiative, and understands the importance of teamwork across departments.

Work Schedule & Training Requirements

Our regular office hours are:

Monday & Wednesday: 8:45 AM – 12:30 PM and 2:45 PM – 6:00 PM
Friday: 8:15 AM – 12:00 PM and 2:45 PM – 5:30 PM

Training Availability:

Candidates must have additional availability on Tuesdays and Thursdays for training, generally beginning at 9:00 AM.
Training typically takes place during our quieter office days, allowing new employees to learn procedures, practice skills, and become comfortable with our systems before assisting during busier shifts.
Training will include chiropractic therapies, assisting providers, patient documentation, front-office procedures, and other responsibilities throughout the practice.

Please note: Our office is busiest on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, so we are unable to provide initial chiropractic training on those days. Applicants must be able to accommodate our training schedule.

The position is part-time, and the final work schedule will be discussed during the hiring process.

Perform blood draws (phlebotomy) and properly handle specimens.
Administer injections within the scope of applicable California law and under appropriate provider authorization and supervision.
Obtain and document patient vital signs, medical histories, and other necessary information.

Chiropractic Responsibilities & Cross-Training

All Medical Assistants will be expected to cross-train in our chiropractic department to provide additional support when needed.

Training will include:

Assisting chiropractors with patient flow and preparation for treatment.
Learning to set up and assist with chiropractic therapies and modalities, such as electrical muscle stimulation, ultrasound, traction, spinal decompression, and other treatments within the employee's permitted scope.
Assisting providers with patient documentation in the EMR system.

Assisting with range-of-motion assessments and other procedures as appropriately trained and authorized.

Supporting chiropractic technicians and other team members during busy periods.

Candidates must be willing to learn and actively participate in both the medical and chiropractic departments. Previous chiropractic experience is not required, as training will be provided. However, flexibility and a willingness to assist outside the medical department are essential.

Previous hands-on Medical Assistant experience required.
Demonstrated experience performing blood draws and administering injections, with any legally required training or credentials.
Experience obtaining and documenting vital signs.
