Passion for Chiropractic Care and a Heart for Community
In the tranquil coastal city of Naples, Florida, there's a dynamic duo making waves in the world of chiropractic care. Meet Dr. Mike Merkt and Dr. Nateja, two dedicated chiropractors with a shared passion for improving the health and well-being of their community. Their journey from different backgrounds and locations has brought them together to create a unique healing haven in the heart of Naples.
The Road to Chiropractic Care
For Dr. Mike Merkt, the path to chiropractic care was paved with a love for motorcycles and motocross racing. He graduated from Northwestern Chiropractic College in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where his commitment to serving others shone through his active participation in various student clubs. Dr. Merkt was not just an average student; he took on leadership roles, including serving as the president of the Chiropractic Philosophy Club.
Upon graduation, Dr. Merkt returned to his hometown of Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, to give back to the community where he grew up. It was here that he honed his skills and developed a strong sense of purpose in the field of chiropractic care. His journey eventually led him to Naples, Florida, where he continued to expand his expertise, specializing in specific Upper Cervical Chiropractic care through The Art of The Specific training program.
Today, Dr. Mike Merkt is the owner and clinic director of The Specific Chiropractic Center of Naples, where he provides chiropractic care that goes beyond alleviating pain. His commitment to the community extends beyond the clinic, as he actively volunteers for numerous events throughout the year and supports local businesses.
A Family Legacy
Dr. Nateja was born into a chiropractic family, surrounded by the principles of health and wellness from a young age. Her father, a chiropractor in Washington State, played a pivotal role in shaping her passion for chiropractic care. It was during a summer break from college, while working alongside her father, that Dr. Nateja truly grasped the transformative power of chiropractic care.
It wasn't just about pain relief; it was about people experiencing holistic well-being. Clients would walk into her father's practice with stress and discomfort, but they would leave with smiles, renewed energy, and a sense of lightness. Dr. Nateja knew then that her calling was deeper than she had initially thought.
She redirected her studies toward Pre-Chiropractic and later graduated from Life College of Chiropractic West. Dr. Nateja's commitment to enhancing her skills led her to specialize in pregnancy and pediatric chiropractic care through the International Pediatric Chiropractic Association (ICPA).
Before taking flight to Florida, Dr. Nateja fulfilled her lifelong dream of working alongside her father. Today, she stands beside Dr. Mike Merkt, ready to make a difference in Naples.

Dr. Mike Merkt and Dr. Nateja's paths converged in Naples, where they combined their unique backgrounds and shared vision for chiropractic care. Together, they are creating an extraordinary healing environment at The Specific Chiropractic Center and The Collective Chiropractic Center.
Their commitment extends to serving the community through volunteer work and supporting local businesses. Their goal is to provide chiropractic care that not only addresses pain but also empowers individuals to achieve their health and wellness goals.
Beyond the clinic, Dr. Mike Merkt's passion for cars and motorcycles adds a dynamic twist to their story. He brings the same enthusiasm and dedication he had in motocross racing to his chiropractic practice.
