As a chiropractor, Dr. Rottger takes a holistic approach to musculoskeletal health, addressing not just the symptoms but the underlying causes of pain and dysfunction.

Her background in competitive sports and coaching provides Dr. Rottger with a unique perspective on body mechanics, enabling her to guide patients through movements like squatting, bending, lifting, and core stability—addressing both injury prevention and performance enhancement.

With his newfound degree, a long history of involvement in a variety of athletics and having a father in healthcare, he felt chiropractic was a natural choice as a career option. Thus, he advanced his education at the University of Western States in Portland, Oregon, graduating Summa Cum Laude in 2021 with a Doctor of Chiropractic degree and second Bachelor of Science in Human Biology.
