The Recovery Process

Dr. Shane enjoys the recovery process the most - "Watching patients go from skeptic to believer? There is nothing better than helping a patient regain what they’ve lost. Functional improvements, better sleep less pain. Making an impact in their life is the best part of my job."

- Extremity manipulations (hands elbow knees etc)
- Dry needling
- Soft tissue therapies (“muscle work”)

Dr. Nathan Heeke DC

CHIROPRACTIC REHABILITATION SPECIALIST

Dr. Nathan Heeke values patient-centered care, focusing on the whole person and the unique factors that shape each patient’s lifestyle. He is skilled in Active Release Techniques, Acupuncture and emphasizes an evidence-based approach to help patients move and feel their best. Dr. Heeke takes pride in creating personalized treatment plans that promote lasting health and wellness. Outside the clinic, he enjoys exploring the beauty of Colorado, whether hiking in the summer or snowboarding in the winter.

Education

Nathan is originally from Spearville, Kansas and relocated to Colorado Springs to embrace the active lifestyle Colorado has to offer.

Dr. Nathan graduated magna cum laude from Kansas State University with a degree in Life Sciences. He then earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree, also magna cum laude, from Logan University in St. Louis.

During his time at Logan, Dr. Nathan was actively involved in organizations including
the Motion Palpation Institute, Rehab 2 Performance, and served as a representative for
the Sports Chiropractic Club. These experiences helped shape his passion for movement
based rehabilitation and performance care.

While completing his clinical training, Dr. Nathan participated in a rotation at the Stephen A. Orthwein Center at Paraquad, a state of the art wellness and fitness facility dedicated to individuals with disabilities. There, he provided adaptive exercise guidance, post rehabilitation support, and recreational programming aimed at promoting independence and long term health.

Movement Based Rehabilitation

Movement based rehabilitation is a central part of my approach to care because it is often
the missing piece that creates lasting results. Rather than only focusing on short term pain
relief, I use targeted exercises and movement strategies to improve strength, mobility, and
control so patients stay better and stronger for longer. This approach not only helps resolve
current issues but also enhances athletic performance and reduces the risk of future
injuries. The priority is ensuring every patient leave care feeling stronger, more resilient,
and more confident in their body than when they first walked in.

The Recovery Process

“My goal is for every patient to leave feeling confident and capable of doing the things they
love without pain holding them back. Lasting results come from addressing the whole
person — not just treating symptoms — by improving movement, building strength, and
creating sustainable progress.”

His Specialties Include:
• Acupuncture
• Active Release Technique (ART)
• Diversified Adjusting
• Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA)
• Thompson Technique
• Exercise and Rehabilitation

Why Spine and Sport?

"I chose to work at Spine and Sport Center because of its evidence-based approach and
strong emphasis on collaborative care. By integrating chiropractic treatment, rehabilitation,
and massage therapy under one roof, we’re able to provide comprehensive care that not
only reduces pain but also improves movement and performance. It was important to me
to be part of a clinic that prioritizes results, keeps people active, and helps patients return
to the activities and sports they enjoy."

Mark Myers LMT

SPORTS MASSAGE THERAPIST

Chiropractic and Massage have a natural Synergy. When combined both are more powerful than when given alone, I’m proud to be working with the Spine and Sport Center team to add high-quality soft tissue care to their chiropractic program.

Education

Mark is very active in his continued education. Through study, Mark has continually refined his diverse skill set. Most recently, Mark is exploring techniques related to Muscle Repatterning. Muscle Repatterning allows for greater relaxation which can alleviate the physical stress of excessive muscle tension. Mark is excited to incorporate these new techniques into his treatments with his existing clientele.
