Welcome To Chiropractic Sport and Family Wellness!
Your go-to Chiropractor in Bradenton, FL

Dr. Nicole received her Doctor of Chiropractic “DC” degree in 1998 from Life University, in Marietta, Georgia. She graduated from Virginia Tech in 1994 where she majored in Exercise Science and a minor in Health Education. Dr. Nicole spent a summer doing her field study with the VT Cardiac program running six miles early several times a week, another summer as a Virginia Tech football trainer, and a winter break interning with a Fairfax County, VA physical therapy clinic. Dr. Nicole then spent the summer after graduation working for a Chiropractor as the front desk and therapist. This chiropractor wasn’t very dynamic or passionate, but she witnessed him being able to help people so much. She felt with her passion she could love and help many. Dr. Nicole had been accepted to physical therapy school, but she did not feel this was the path for her.

Dr. Nicole had seen a chiropractor intermittently since she was one year old. She had worn all the braces and orthotics to attempt to correct her greatly internally rotated right foot. Surgery was recommended to her parents. In a search to avoid surgery, Chiropractic was suggested. The chiropractor was the first to tell her parents he did not feel the issue was her foot, but rather her pelvis and hip. He worked on Dr. Nicole and her foot straighten with these corrections. Through the years following, when they had pain, they would travel from the suburbs to Washington DC to an M.D., who’d also become a chiropractor. Half of his house was converted to his office. Every time he corrected Nicole and her brother’s spines, they’d feel it was miracle that the pain would be gone. Dr. Nicole talked her father in to touring Life University. Dr. Nicole was  overwhelmed with the clarity of her true purpose to serve the Lord as a Chiropractor and that Life U. would be the place to teach and guide her.

Dr. Nicole tried out for the VA Tech High Techs Dance team her senior year in High School. She was in concurrent enrollment with dance her senior year at George Mason University. She spent all four years at Virginia Tech supporting promotions dancing for the football and basketball games and competing at Sea World in the ESPN College National Dance and Cheer competitions. Junior and Senior years at VA Tech, the High Techs placed 5th in the nation. Dr. Nicole had many injuries to her right leg and ankle over the years. Chiropractic care was the one missing link during those four years. Incorporating chiropractic alignments allowed Dr. Nicole the ability to continue Dancing and she was selected to be the captain and choreographed for the Life University, DC Dancers. This time the dance team was a helpful paid position. The DC Dancers were selected to split center formation in the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics with the pro Atlanta Hawks dance team. What a thrill! Dr. Nicole also had a fun adult run with tennis leading all the way to the 2010 Nationals in Palm Springs, CA.

Drs. Nicole and Mick meet in their second of four years of Chiropractic school. They learned many Chiropractic techniques but were drawn to the most published research and corrective abilities of Chiropractic BioPhysics, or CBP. Both doctors were also then certified in scoliosis bracing with SpineCor in 2011 and dry needling in 2020. Both doctors love carrying for Pregnant mom’s (so helpful and yes, we know Webster Technique too), babies (torticollis, colic, constipation, wellness and so much more!), families, athletes, disc decompression and scoliosis care and bracing, car accident rehabilitation and those that care about wellness/maintenance care. Dr. Nicole has spent the last year, before opening CSFW, as a coverage doctor to Personal injury (car accident cases mostly but also slip and fall practices) from Clearwater to Port Charlotte.

Drs. Nicole and Mick have two daughters, Gabriela “Brie” and Siena. We have enjoyed cheering them on in many sports and activities just like our new communities.
