Chiropractor

Dr. Mick Tiegs

I Grew Up With Chiropractic Care.

“Maybe It Will Go Away” — these might be the five most dangerous words to your health. Don’t wait—get help today with chiropractic care. Chiropractic adjustments help thousands of people every day.

Not only do adjustments help relieve pain, but chiropractic adjustments are stepping stones to rehabilitating your spine so you will be less likely to suffer in the future.

I chose to be a chiropractor because my family utilized chiropractors throughout my childhood. My family would go to chiropractors for the usual back and neck pain as well as health maintenance. Throughout junior high and high school, I would see my chiropractor regularly for acute problems as well as maintenance check-ups to keep my body healthy. I am very fortunate now to be able to take care of my family, kids, and friends.

I graduated from Boise State in pre-med studies and then completed chiropractic college in Portland, Oregon at Western States Chiropractic College in 1995. Many people don’t realize that Chiropractic College is four years, which is after the three to four years of undergraduate school for a total of seven to eight years of college. Since graduating, many of my post-graduate studies have been concentrated on whiplash and motor vehicle injuries. Chiropractic care is a unique discipline that focuses on healing and improving spinal function; this is especially important following trauma.

Personally
Chiropractic is not just my profession, it’s my lifestyle. I believe that a healthy lifestyle should not only include regular adjustments (I get adjusted at least every other week), but should also involve healthy eating habits, regular workouts or walks, drinking plenty of water, and keeping a positive outlook on life.

Chiropractor

Dr. W. Kevin Davis

Inspired by Chiropractic.

Tremendously impacted by chiropractic’s benefits, Dr. Kevin enrolled in Los Angeles College of Chiropractic after his competitive playing days concluded, with the vision of helping others achieve healthier, happier, more productive lives.

He has been team doctor for the professional basketball team, San Jose Skyrockets, and several high school sports teams while running a private sports and family wellness practice. Dr. Kevin utilizes several gentle techniques depending on the patient, their goals, and condition to achieve maximum results.

As a result of treating many athletes, he is highly respected in spinal adjusting, especially for back and shoulder injuries. In his practice, all walks of life may be seen, from professional and amateur athletes, weekend warriors, to families and individuals seeking better health and wellness.

The Basketball Dream

A sports enthusiast who followed a basketball dream through high school in the Philadelphia area, into college at Lafayette, playing for former Los Angeles Lakers coach Butch van Breda Kolff. Dr. Davis attended rookie and free agent 76ers training camp, along with Charles Barkley, to finish a career traveling the world with the Washington Generals.

A Chiropractor Saved My Career

Troubled by back problems from a fractured spine since junior high, Dr. Kevin was facing a one-way ticket home while playing with the Generals due to a back injury. This is when he met a chiropractor while on the road in Phoenix, who not only saved his job but restored hope for a normal and active life.

“It was the first and only doctor that was ever able to relieve me of debilitating pain and keep me on the court.”

Boise: The Perfect Fit

As outdoor enthusiasts, Boise seemed to be a perfect fit for Dr. Kevin and his wife, Julie’s, lifestyles. Dr. Kevin understands the direct correlation of a healthy lifestyle and a more enjoyable life. Regularly applying the five factors of health: exercise, proper rest, good nutrition, positive mental outlook, and most importantly chiropractic care to restore nerve function, this can be attained.

“With chiropractic care I have an optimal functioning nervous system which makes the other four factors more potent and effective, allowing me to enjoy every day as much as possible. I get adjusted once a week whether I hurt or not, because I just function better. I simply want to help my patients have a better quality of life and achieve their goals.”

Through office educational workshops, health fairs, corporate health lectures and screenings, Dr. Kevin continually interacts with the community.

Dr. Kevin loves to be outdoors, especially mountain biking, skiing, swimming, or doing triathlons. He has a passion for basketball and feeds that by coaching youth and high school teams while running training and developmental clinics along with summer camps. In his off time, he can be found on the trails, slopes, or in the lakes of Boise, Donnelly, or McCall enjoying time with Julie and their dog.

Chiropractor

Dr. Brendon Smith

Hello! I’m Dr. Brendon Smith, your original Boise boy turned worldly traveler, former wildland firefighter, and now proud local chiropractor.

I grew up here in Ada County after my father’s military career brought our family to Boise in the year 2000. I graduated from Eagle High School in 2008, then went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from Boise State University.

My early years were spent exploring different paths, from traveling across the globe to working in a variety of fields, including an AmeriCorps service contract, the service industry, and the demanding yet rewarding work of fighting wildfires.

Through those experiences, I learned two things: I love adventure, and I feel most fulfilled when I can give back to my community. That realization led me to pursue a career in chiropractic care. I completed my Doctor of Chiropractic at the University of Western States in Portland, Oregon, and have recently returned home to Boise to serve the community that raised me.

As a chiropractor, I combine my background in kinesiology and biomechanics with hands-on experience and a genuine desire to see people thrive. My approach is not just about relieving pain, but also about educating proper postural mechanics, restoring movement, identifying muscular imbalances, and helping patients get back to living the life they love, whether that’s working, playing, or simply moving without restriction. The philosophy that drives what I do is simply this: life is movement, and movement is life; so, let’s get moving!

When I’m not in the clinic, you might find me outdoors, running on the greenbelt, enjoying Idaho’s trails and mountains, creating art from paint or repurposed materials, or spending time with my friends and family.

I’m excited to be part of the Northside Chiropractic team and honored to help my neighbors in Boise feel their best.

Office Manager

Heather Lyn Bay

I was introduced to chiropractic when I was about 9 years old after developing chronic migraines at the age of 7 from a terrible car accident. The very first time I was adjusted my headache disappeared. I always knew there was something really amazing about that.

I continued to be adjusted on and off throughout my youth. When I was 22 a job opening at the Chiropractic Office my parents went to opened up and I was hired. Within the first year I knew this wasn’t just a job to me, it was a passion for people and wellness.

This became my career. 28 years later I am as passionate about Chiropractic as I have always been. It’s AWESOME how much Chiropractic helps people. It has totally changed my life for the better.

I believe that correcting and maintaining the health of our bodies NATURALLY is the best way! Our bodies are DESIGNED to heal. We just need to give it what it needs. Chiropractic “sets the stage” by removing interference with the proper function of the nervous system.

I am so grateful to be working in this office. We not only have 3 proficient and caring Doctors of Chiropractic but we also have 6 amazing massage therapists!

We LOVE seeing people get better with chiropractic care. We all share the same goal for our patients. To live pain free, heal fast when injured and feel their best! We are excited to meet you and hope you become part of our family. We warmly invite you to experience our office first hand.

Assistant Manager

Vera Martin

I was born and raised in Boise, Idaho, and I’m a proud mother of three amazing children who have kept me busy with years of extracurricular activities.

My family and I love spending time outdoors, whitewater rafting, camping, fishing, and enjoying all the beauty Idaho has to offer.

From a young age, I knew I wanted to work in a field that helped people live healthier, more fulfilling lives. I was born without a fibula in my right leg and spent much of my childhood undergoing surgeries and living with constant pain.

At age 12, I made the decision to amputate my right foot so I could live a more active and independent life. That experience fueled my passion for helping others who deal with pain or want to live more active, healthy lives.

Twelve years ago, I was introduced to chiropractic care when I joined Northside Chiropractic as a Chiropractic Assistant. Today, I proudly serve as the Assistant Manager. Through chiropractic adjustments and massage therapy, I have personally found hope, healing, and lasting relief and I love being able to share that with others.

Being part of a team that provides non-invasive, drug-free treatment is incredibly rewarding. Helping people improve their quality of life in an uplifting, encouraging environment is truly what makes this work meaningful to me.

Amy Kunz

I’ve been a Boisean since 1987 and couldn’t be happier with my decision to live here. I love the foothills and the high desert. Idaho is home for me, and I hope I never have to leave.

I love working in a chiropractic office. It’s very satisfying seeing people come in with pain and leave feeling better.

Having been employed in various medical offices and hospitals since I was 18 years old, I can confidently say chiropractic is the most rewarding. I’ve been utilizing chiropractic myself since I was a child and have a lot of confidence in the practice. Several times I’ve been in situations where regular medical care couldn’t help me, but chiropractic did.

This is the best office I’ve ever worked in. Everyone here is great and really cares about our patients.

Massage Therapist

McKenzie Mouser

My practice is centered around facilitating healing and restoring balance to the body. Incorporating a combination of modalities allows me to tailor each session to the specific needs of the individual.

While a lot can be improved during a massage, much can be accomplished at home. By educating my clients with stretching techniques, tips to improve and correct posture, and practical ways to integrate these into their life, they leave equipped to make positive changes last.

My life in massage began six years ago at the Everest Institute in Portland, Oregon, where I practiced for three years before moving back to Boise in 2016. Working mainly in chiropractic has fed my passion to help clients who suffer from chronic headaches, functional imbalances from desk jobs, and rehabilitation from injuries old and new. My clientele ranges from grade school athletes to gardening seniors.

I love meeting and connecting with new people and welcome all who are looking for relief from chronic pain and daily stress through massage therapy.
