COLT DEWITT D.C.
CHIROPRACTOR
When Dr. Colt was young, a family friend who taught him how to fly became his mentor. His son was a Gonstead chiropractor in Pensacola, Florida. Dr. Colt traveled south to shadow the chiropractor and see what it was all about. Seeing the fun, lively and healing atmosphere made Dr. Colt realize that he, too, wanted to be a chiropractor.
“If I can help people to avoid more invasive routes like drugs and surgery, I want to take care of them. You can get your problem fixed the right way by addressing the root cause.”
To complete his undergraduate education, Dr. Travis Colt DeWitt attended the University of Iowa. He then moved onto the renowned Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa to earn a Doctor of Chiropractic.
When he isn’t in the office, Dr. Colt loves to spend time with his wife Dr. Nicole, daughter Scarlet, and son Beau. They like to be outdoors and often go to their cabin, fishing on the nearby river and hanging out on the sandbar. Learn more about Chiropractic Care here!
NICOLE DEWITT D.C.
CHIROPRACTOR
With an early interest in the human body, Dr. Nicole knew she wanted to go into the health field. She was very active in sports as a kid and experienced many of the aches and pains that come with that. When she was 16 years old, a chiropractor kept her off the surgeon’s table by treating a shoulder injury non-invasively. It opened her eyes and showed her that you could treat the body naturally without the need of drugs and surgery.
“Chiropractic can address so many things that people would go to the medical doctor for. It’s the natural approach.”
Dr. Nicole attended the prestigious Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. There, she joined the Gonstead Club, attended Gonstead seminars, and learned from teachers influential in the field. It’s a chiropractic technique that just makes the most sense.
In her spare time, Dr. Nicole loves being a mom to Scarlet and Beau and hanging out as a family with her husband, Dr. Colt. They like to spend time outdoors – gardening, exploring the woods, or spending time at the river. They also have four dogs and three cats at home that keep them busy when they aren’t in the office.

After being diagnosed with scoliosis and migraines as a teenager, Autumn sought numerous treatments for relief. Her journey led her to Drs.

NICHOLAS KERKOVE
Certified Nutritionist
Nicholas’ journey in health and wellness began at Iowa Western College, where he pursued his passion for nutrition. Following college, Nicholas expanded his expertise by managing a Vitamin World store, where he gained valuable experience and earned certifications from respected institutions in the health and wellness field. These certifications provided him with the knowledge and skills necessary to guide individuals toward achieving their fitness goals.
However, it wasn’t until his father experienced an unexpected heart attack that Nicholas’ perspective shifted. This life-changing event highlighted the critical importance of cardiovascular health and inspired him to delve deeply into the complexities of cardiovascular disease. This pivotal moment also led him to explore blood lab analysis, enabling him to understand the key markers that are essential to overall well-being. Motivated by a strong desire to make a meaningful impact, Nicholas developed and implemented successful programs focused on weight loss, gut healing, and comprehensive blood lab analysis. These programs reflect his dedication to providing holistic solutions that target the root causes of health issues rather than simply addressing symptoms.
Nicholas started working at DeWitt Chiropractic in February 2024. You can find him around the office doing post adjustment therapy, nutrition consultations and blood lab analysis. When he isn’t at the office Nicholas enjoys spoiling his nieces and nephews, hanging out with his two cats Goji & Isabelle.
