Meet Dr. Westin Kirk
Dr. Kirk’s path to chiropractic began with a lesson he learned the hard way. During high school, he suffered a knee injury that was initially dismissed as growing pains. He lived with a limp for months before seeing a chiropractor, who helped him find relief and encouraged further imaging. That imaging revealed the true extent of the injury and led to surgery. After surgery and rehabilitation, Dr. Kirk came back stronger than before.
That experience changed everything. It showed him how much listening, movement-based care, and thorough evaluation can impact someone’s life. It also sparked his passion for helping people move beyond pain and limitations so they can return to the activities, goals, and passions that matter most.
Education & Credentials
Dr. Kirk earned his Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science from the University of Minnesota-Mankato in 2021 before completing his Doctor of Chiropractic degree at Northwestern Health Sciences University in 2024.
He also holds a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) credential through the National Strength and Conditioning Association and has completed advanced dry needling training through the American Academy of Manipulative Therapy.

Treatment Approach
Dr. Kirk brings a holistic, movement-centered approach to care at Peak Performance Chiropractic Center. Rather than focusing only on temporary fixes or short-term symptom relief, he works to understand how his patients move, what they want to get back to, and what it will take to help them move forward confidently.
His background in strength and conditioning shapes the way he approaches care, emphasizing movement quality, resilience, long-term progress, and active recovery. He combines hands-on chiropractic care with exercise prescription and a genuine commitment to listening so patients feel heard, supported, and empowered throughout their care experience.
I get to use my hands to help people heal, my ears to truly listen to their goals, and my experience to guide them beyond what they’ve been told is possible.”
Life Outside the Clinic
Dr. Kirk grew up on a family farm in a small town, and those roots still shape who he is today. Early mornings, long days, hard work, and showing up for the people around you were simply part of life. He still heads home to help with crops and cattle whenever he can and credits that upbringing for much of the discipline, resilience, and work ethic he brings into both his personal life and patient care.
When he’s not in the clinic or on the farm, you’ll likely find him in the gym. Dr. Kirk is passionate about exercise, weightlifting, training, and continuous self-improvement, both physically and mentally. He also enjoys basketball, pickleball, hiking, reading, and chess, where he has reached a peak rating of around 1700 Elo.
