Dr. Jenkins believes that keeping up with the most current, most effective and up-to-date treatment methods is crucial to providing excellent patient-centered care.

Dr. Jenkins was born and raised in Moorhead, Minnesota. With an adventurous spirit and desire for sports, one may find it odd that about the only sport he didn’t play…was hockey. A multitude of sports related injuries sparked his passion for chiropractic. Following graduation, he practiced in Maryland for 10 years before listening to the beckoning call of the upper Midwest to return home in 2011.

Dr. Jenkins takes a functional approach to patient care, resulting in carefully considered, customized plans to help you perform your best- whether its on the field or getting you back to your passion. He has extensive experience treating all types of athletic injuries- ranging from weekend warriors to amateur and professional level athletes.

“I know firsthand that terrible feeling when an injury prevents you from performing your best. Worse yet, most injuries could’ve been prevented if proper treatment had been provided by a knowledgeable and experienced professional.”

Dr. Samantha Kiecker found a home at The Clinic after graduating from Northwestern Health Sciences University.  She studied undergraduate at The University of North Dakota in Grand Forks and knew she wanted to come back to North Dakota to live and raise a family.  An opportunity at The Clinic arose and she jumped at the chance to build her practice and life.

Her journey began similar to many girls who were raised in a rural area, veterinary science was her dream. After a ninth grade job shadow with the local veterinarian and a short stint trying to regain consciousness in the employee restroom, Chiropractic became the new dream.

“Chiropractic has so much freedom with where it can go and what it can do. Chiropractic can fill gaps and works well along-side other types of care. It provides great relief especially for people who don’t always fit the mold.”

Dr. Kiecker takes an integrated approach to patient care, utilizing modalities from many areas including chiropractic, sports medicine, acupuncture, eastern health practices, nutrition, and massage. She often incorporates other providers care allowing Dr. Kiecker to utilize treatment options that are not offered at this clinic to create customized care plans. Using this integrated approach allows Dr. Kiecker to work with other practitioners in the region, helping her to expand her view and understanding of the bigger picture.

“Health is a continuum, more effectively looked at as a spectrum as opposed to an absolute. The most effective tool I have is to bring all the pieces of health together to build a program incorporating all treatment options in one comprehensive plan.”

In her spare time, Dr. Kiecker loves to be involved in community events, service group and volunteering. An avid reader and movie fan. She finds jogging and strength training to push her limits. Her true driving force for everything she does is her family – her very understanding husband Brandon, and her amazing two boys.

After graduating from Northwestern College of Chiropractic in 1999, he returned to his home town in Iowa to begin is practice.

​As a multi-sport athlete, Dr. Zimmerman has dealt with most kinds of injuries common in sports, which gives him a unique ability to understand and treat a wide variety of conditions. Being the son of teacher rubbed off on him and he greatly enjoys teaching about the body, how it functions and why things go wrong.

“Pain can be life-changing and devastating. I know, I’ve dealt with injuries most of my life, which is why I’ve committed my life to understanding them and helping people find solutions, so they can get back to living happy, healthy and active lives.”

Dr. Zimmerman’s career has taken him from Iowa and Colorado to Fargo, ND, where he enjoys the Midwestern culture and kind of people he grew up with. He currently lives in Fargo with his wife and three children and enjoys sports, learning, cooking and outdoor activities- primarily walleye fishing.

He stresses a cause-based approach and specializes in finding effective, non-invasive methods of treating chronic pain conditions in most areas, including the low back, neck, hips, knees and shoulders.

His post-graduate training includes sports injury and performance, neurology, orthopedics and rehabilitation of acute and chronic conditions. He has worked with a wide variety of athletes that include semi-professional football, baseball, gymnastics, wrestling, professional tennis and top-level runners.
