I enjoy working with all types of patients, especially those suffering from headaches/migraines, auto/workplace injuries and care of soft tissue injuries such as sprains/strains.

I believe the fundamental job of a chiropractor is to help normalize the function of a patient’s spine and body. My job as a chiropractor is to identify regions of the body that are not performing properly, address those regions and help guide you with home care to continue healing after an appointment. I aim to work alongside patients as a partner in their health. I approach patient care with transparency and direct communication.

Patients often remark on my friendliness, humility and general positive attitude. I often say, “I take my work seriously, I just don’t take myself seriously.” I attempt to strike a balance between professionalism and a relaxed, open communication style. I make it my goal for patients to feel very comfortable in my presence. I believe open and clear communication is vital in a doctor patient relationship.

Hello! My name is Nikki Vang. I was raised in a family deeply rooted in the wisdom of traditional Chinese and South East Asian medicine, I’ve experienced a unique approach to wellness that transcends generations. I learned traditional remedies passed down through generations—whether it was a comforting bowl of chicken soup infused with medicinal herbs or the gentle application of herbal ointments to alleviate discomfort.

I earned my Masters Degree in Acupuncture in 2022, and my Doctorate in Chinese Medicine in 2023 at Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington. My clinical experience includes Woodwinds Hospital in Woodbury, the University of Minnesota Medical Center—Riverside and Journey Center locations, and the Integrative Clinic of Minnesota in Minneapolis. I did my herbal internship Derusha clinic and the Bloomington Clinic at Northwestern Health Science University. ​

During my free time I enjoy spending time with my husband and family playing board games, singing and playing my musical instruments (guitar, piano and hulusi).
