Chiropractic First Wellness Center (Dr. Nicholas Krause and Dr. Chris Hartley) and Tony Parks Chiropractic operate two separate businesses within one convenient office location and proudly serve Rochester and the surrounding areas in MN.

They both seek to improve their patients' health and wellness in all areas of their lives. The doctors enjoy treating the "whole person" in their work as chiropractors, which means looking for the underlying causes of disease, discomfort, and pain, usually arising from imbalances in the spinal column. Under our supervision and care, patients report higher functioning in all areas of their lives.
