The Doctor

Dr. Russell J. Kort is a 1999 graduate of the prestigious Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport Iowa. While at Palmer, Dr. Kort spent much of his time working with athletes in the Palmer Rehabilitation Clinic. He treated athletes in many sports events while working with the Palmer Sports council.

Dr. Kort has been involved in the medical field since 1984 when he worked as an EMT for his local ambulance service.

Growing up in Colorado, Dr. Kort experienced chiropractic for the first time after a ski racing crash left him with a severely sprained neck. Although he was only seven years old, he knew after his first adjustment that chiropractic was his destiny. Continuing to ski race for 12 years there were many chiropractic visits in his childhood. Maybe this is why Dr. Kort feels it is so important to take care of our children athletes. Dr. Kort's mantra is " It is easier to build a healthy child than repair an injured adult".

Dr. Kort believes as Hippocrates did "Look well to the spine for the cause of Disease". It only makes sense that there are three causes of disease. TOXINS that we eat, drink, and breath every day. TRAUMA that we have sustained in our past. And our THOUGHT LIFE. Our thoughts are the basis of STRESS in our lives. It is Dr. Kort's belief that these three components are the fundamentals of health and wellness.

Dr. Kort enjoys spending time with his young family. He and his wife Fran have two children, Benjamin and Audrey. In his spare time, he is an avid telemark skier, cyclist, fisherman, and lecturer.

Our mission statement is simple... "TO ENHANCE THE LIVES OF THOSE WE TOUCH ONE SPINE AT A TIME"
