Dr. Kelly N. MacIver

Dr. MacIver received both her Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) degree and Bachelor of Science in Nutrition degrees from Life University in Marietta, Georgia. During her last year of school she was one of the senior clinicians involved in research programs including response to chiropractic care with HIV positive patients. After passing the National Board examinations, Dr. MacIver graduated Magna Cum Laude in December of 1999 and then practiced in the Bronx, New York for just over two years. 

She then moved to Washington in March of 2002 to be nearer to family, and began practicing with Dr. Butters at Rainier Valley Chiropractic in July of 2002.   They practiced together for about a year in the prior location on Martin Luther King Jr. Way S., before the necessary move to 36th Avenue S. due to the demolition of the building to make way for light rail. 

She and her husband, Craig, live in Renton where they involve themselves with various house projects, and take long motorcycle trips when the weather permits.

Dr. MacIver is currently a member of the Washington State Chiropractors Association (WSCA), the World Chiropractic Alliance (WCA) and the International Chiropractors Association (ICA).
