The Ottawa Chiropractor to see - Chiropractor Ottawa

Introducing Dr. Michael J. Hiatt

“It was all I ever wanted to be, from the time of my first adjustment.  It was all I ever wanted to be . . . a chiropractor.”

Why? “Experiencing relief from my symptoms without drugs, without surgery, made a great impression on me.  That’s when I decided to become a chiropractor.”

Dr Hiatt began his pre-chiropractic education at Emporia State University where he studied the basic sciences; “you know the boring stuff”, such as chemistry, biology, physiology, and anatomy.  He remembers his favorite course was in the care and prevention of athletic injuries, an interest that still excites him today.

After completing his pre-chiropractic studies, Dr. Hiatt was accepted into Cleveland Chiropractic College located  in Kansas City, Missouri.  During his time at Cleveland, Dr. Hiatt devoted his energies to the study of specific chiropractic adjusting techniques, anatomy, physiology, x-ray, diagnosis, and patient care.  After graduating, Dr. Hiatt practiced for a year in New Orleans Louisiana.  Returning to Ottawa, Dr. Hiatt joined Dr. Larry Matney and together with Dr. Cheri Jung formed Ottawa Chiropractic Clinic. “Together, we represent over eighty-five years of combined clinical skill and expertise to serve you and your families.”

“We enjoy working with all types of patients and practice members, from infants to adults.  We believe in emphasizing wellness and prevention, and our mission is to promote wellness, prevent illness, and restore optimal function through safe, effective and natural chiropractic care.“

Dr. Hiatt is married to Denise and they have two children, Blake and Ashea’.  Blake attends and plays baseball for William Jewell College in Liberty, Missouri. Ashea’ cheerleads, plays basketball and soccer at Ottawa High School.  With a full slate of activities, these two kids still keep their parents busy.  Denise is a nurse for the Ottawa School District and works part-time at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri.  “Ask us about your children and we will be glad to brag about how chiropractic has improved their school and sports performances.
