The adjustment is the focal point of chiropractic treatment. At Rooted Whole Health, we primarily utilize the Activator Method to adjust our patients. It is one of the most widely researched chiropractic techniques and the only, as of now, instrument adjusting technique with clinical trials to support its efficacy. We chose this tool for its ability to be precise and specific, as well as consistent and reliable. We'll talk more throughout your exam and treatment visits about WHY these qualities are so important to your health.


Functional Medicine

Dr. Nikki Kates has been chasing the dream of being a doctor since childhood. A back injury introduced her to chiropractic in high school and from that experience, she was sold. Shortly after high school, she became a chiropractic assistant at a clinic where she worked full-time for 8 years while completing her undergraduate coursework.

In 2015, she packed her things and moved to Dallas, TX to begin her chiropractic education at Parker University. During her time there, she met and married her husband, Adam. Shortly after graduation in 2019, Adam was stationed with the United States Air Force in Colorado Springs, CO. Dr. Nikki raised two children at home while working remotely for the United States Space Force. She never stopped learning during this time and once Adam retired, they moved their family to Southeast Iowa. Here, she got more serious about finally making her doctoral dreams a reality. Pursuing a functional medicine certification was the highlight of her learning journey and she knew that was where she wanted to make the biggest impact in the lives of her patients.

In her spare time, Dr. Nikki enjoys family time, gardening, and reading.
