Dr. Kiekhoefer grew up in Oakdale, Minnesota and graduated from Tartan High School in 1981. He learned the value of hard work from his father who often worked two to three jobs. While playing college baseball at the University of St. Thomas, a back injury caused him to seek chiropractic care for the first time.

His success with chiropractic care and his interest in the body’s ability to heal itself when subluxations are removed lead him to change his lifetime goal of attending medical school to attending chiropractic college. He earned his bachelor’s degree in Biology from St. Thomas in 1985 and graduated from Northwestern College of Chiropractic in 1988.

In 1989, Dr. Kiekhoefer opened Kiekhoefer Chiropractic in Cottage Grove MN. He has been blessed to be a part of the community for over 30 years. His practice is family-oriented, treating patients of all ages, from infants to patients in their nineties.

Dr. Kiekhoefer has received additional training in sports injuries and is a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician (CCSP). His practice has a special emphasis on sports injuries, acute injuries, rehabilitation, and wellness care.

In his free time, Dr. Kiekhoefer enjoys spending time with his wife and two sons. The family is sport-oriented and they enjoy tennis, golf, softball, basketball, boating, and a variety of other sports. Dr. Kiekhoefer is a member of the Cottage Grove Lions Club, Cottage Grove Chamber of Commerce, and the Minnesota Chiropractic Association.
