Who We Are
First Steps Chiropractic is a neurologically-based, family and pediatric chiropractic practice in Hayden, Idaho — the heart of the Coeur d’Alene area. We’ve been serving families in North Idaho for over 7 years, with a focus on prenatal and pediatric care, SoftWave therapy, INSiGHT neuroTHERMAL scanning, and family wellness.
We are a close-knit team that genuinely cares about each other, our patients, and the families we serve. If you’re looking for a place where you belong — not just a job — keep reading.
The Opportunity
We’re growing and looking for an associate doctor to join our team. We want someone who is in it for the long haul — someone who wants to build meaningful relationships with patients and families, grow alongside a supportive team, and put down real roots in a community they love. You’ll be mentored directly by Dr. Henry Kornegay, a PX Pro certified chiropractor with 7+ years of experience building First Steps from the ground up.
Whether you’re a new graduate looking for a nurturing environment to develop your skills, or an experienced chiropractor ready to step into an established, stable practice with a full patient base — we’d love to meet you.
