Dr. Cameron Nyman, Doctor of Chiropractic
Undergraduate: BS in Exercise Science, Illinois State University
Post-Graduate: Chiropractic Degree from Palmer Chiropractic College
Dr. Nyman learned the value of Chiropractic care at an early age, when he suffered a herniated disc in his neck while playing high school football. Immediately upon being injured, he temporarily lost the use of his right arm (a herniated disc in his neck was pressing on a nerve in his arm). Through Chiropractic care, Dr. Nyman returned to full participation in only one week! After this experience, he was so enamored with Chiropractic that he made it his life’s goal to become a Doctor of Chiropractic and help other people in a way that only Chiropractic can.
While pursuing his bachelor’s degree at Illinois State University in the field of Exercise Science, Dr. Nyman was very active in various athletic clubs and organizations, developing his love of nutrition and treating athletic injuries.
He then began his Doctoral program at Palmer Chiropractic College in Davenport, Iowa. During his time at Palmer, he played on the school’s Division I rugby team as well as serving on the student council, the philanthropy club board, co-founding the school’s Chiropractic BioPhysics club, and achieving academic honors. While earning his graduate degree, Dr. Nyman dedicated his focus to becoming well versed in numerous Chiropractic techniques, studying over a dozen soft tissue, instrument, and manual techniques. He was eventually nominated for the school’s Clinical Excellence Award before being awarded his Doctorate in Chiropractic.
Since earning his Doctorate in Chiropractic, he has pursued post-doctorate certification in the most advanced form of spinal rehabilitation in the world, Chiropractic BioPhysics. Upon achieving his certification, he practiced at a spinal rehabilitation clinic in Longmont, Colorado for almost two years. He used his time serving Longmont to become certified in class IV laser therapy and spinal decompression, as well as utilizing PowerPlate vibration technology and functional rehabilitation techniques to better serve his patients.
Dr. Nyman had become an expert in finding a more permanent solution to the aches and pains that trouble nearly 80% of our society, but found that he could serve his patients even more profoundly by practicing functional medicine as well as spinal rehabilitation. He has since pursued education in the realm of functional medicine and is excited to change lives in Denver for many years to come!
Dr. Jon Follett, Doctor of Chiropractic
Undergrad: BS Biology, University of Iowa
Post-Graduate: Palmer Chiropractic College Davenport
Dr. Follett started his professional career in the United States Air Force as a Security Force member, where he was able to serve people from all over the world. During his time in the military he saw many people suffer from the side effects of allopathic medicine and became involved in studying holistic health care. He became aware at this time of other forms of health care, specifically chiropractic.
His chiropractic intrigue continued while studying at the University of Iowa, where he became familiar with more specifics of chiropractic and the human body. Throughout his undergraduate studies Dr. Follett volunteered with the University of Iowa VA to help rehab veterans. At this time, Dr. Jon decided to go to chiropractic school.
Dr. Follett chose to attend Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport Iowa where he worked in the Philanthropy office and Vets Club. During his time at Palmer, Dr. Follett focused on many different techniques, but had a specific interest in soft tissue integration and flexion distraction. He graduated in October 2014. After graduation Dr. Follett became certified in Activator, but eventually found his calling with the most advanced form of spinal rehab, Chiropractic BioPhysics. After becoming certified in CBP, he worked for a multidisciplinary practice in Northern Colorado for two years. Here he became certified in Class IV laser, spinal decompression, as well as utilizing Power Plate to ensure the highest quality care for patients.
Dr. Follett is very excited to be able to serve the Denver metro community, along with his wife, who serves on the Jefferson County public health department. When not in the office, you may be able to find Dr. Follett and his family playing up in the mountains.

Dr. Ryan Nickens, Doctor of Chiropractic
Undergraduate: Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry from Elon University
Post-Graduate: Doctor of Chiropractic from Palmer College of Chiropractic
“I truly, with all my heart, believe that we are designed for healing, for health, and vitality. And a lot of our culture is built around the opposite of that.”
Dr. Ryan Nickens, DC originally was headed toward medical school, but a chance conversation with a chiropractor at his church in Tampa changed the trajectory of his life entirely.
At a young age, Dr. Nickens suffered an accident that left him with chronic, severe migraines. The only way he was able to address the pain was painkillers. However, when Dr. Nickens received his first chiropractic adjustment, he experienced immediate and permanent relief, which dramatically improved his quality of life. He was finally freed from headaches, and his body felt better too.
This experience, combined with his background in personal training and understanding of the human body’s movement patterns, cemented his decision to pivot away from his initial path to medical school and become a chiropractor instead. He wanted to help people get off of medication and move better.
After graduating from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 2013, Dr. Nickens opened his first practice in Fort Myers, Florida. An expert in advanced spinal correction, scoliosis care, pediatrics, and lifestyle modification, he has taught at over 20 churches, 100s of businesses, and schools and traveled to Rio with Team USA.
Dr Nickens believes that our bodies are unbelievably intelligent. He has seen countless miracles from chiropractic, nutrition, and honoring our innate, inborn ability to heal.
Armed with advanced training in Clinical Nutrition, Internal and Functional Medicine, Dr. Nickens stresses the importance of taking a holistic approach to dig deep and determine the root causes of a person’s health challenges. Whether itis your nervous system, gut health, neurotransmitters, or something else, he recognizes how vital it is to look at the whole person.
Dr. Nickens and his wife (another chiropractor) Amber, their two kids, and two dogs sold their practice in Florida to move to Colorado to be closer to family (2 months before Hurricane Ian destroyed the area…phew!). In their free time, the Nickens family enjoys numerous outdoor pursuits, including hiking, camping, four-wheeling, hunting, fishing, climbing, and paddling.
