Chiropractic offers hands-on, non-invasive, non-surgical, natural treatments that relieve pain and inflammation in your neck, back, and extremities.

Dr. Harp Koehler treats the whole body using Motion Palpation, nutritional counseling, and soft tissue techniques. She is a Certified Kinesio Taping Practitioner and is certified in the Graston® and Webster techniques, and she uses muscle testing to diagnose everything from sports injuries to food sensitivities. She treats back and neck pain, headaches, and extremity issues with manual adjustments, cranial work, activator, and drop-piece adjustments. Her conservative, whole-body approach, along with the time she spends with each patient, reflects her compassion and genuine investment in their well-being.

Dr. Harp Koehler previously practiced chiropractic in Hastings, MN before her and her husband, Jake, moved to Elk River. They enjoy raising their two boys, Kellen and Levi, in the community that her husband grew up in. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends, working out, attending concerts and sporting events, and loves to golf as much as she can.

Dr. Mikala is a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician and Athletic Trainer. After receiving her Bachelor’s degree in Athletic Training from Bethel University, she went on to complete her Doctor of Chiropractic and Master’s in Sports Medicine degrees from the University of Western States in Portland, Oregon.

Dr. Mikala’s love for sports and healthcare stemmed from an active upbringing in Minnesota where she played competitive soccer through college. Rehabilitating from a variety of injuries with athletic trainers, physical therapists, and chiropractors inspired her to pursue a career helping others in similar situations improve their health and wellness.

Outside the office, she enjoys spending time with her husband and dog, playing competitive soccer, traveling, hiking, and drinking coffee.

A visit with Dr. Mikala begins with a thorough history and exam, followed by a combination of chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapies, and rehabilitative exercises tailored to each patient’s goals.
