Dr. Robert Kurtz discovered his passion for chiropractic care in high school while shadowing his family’s local chiropractor. That early exposure set the foundation for his career path, leading him to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Health Sciences from Oakland University in 2020, followed by his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Logan University in St. Louis in 2024.
During his time in St. Louis, Dr. Kurtz developed a strong interest in golf, which continues to influence his clinical focus today. He is currently pursuing his Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) certification, with the goal of becoming one of the few chiropractors in Michigan specializing in golf-specific performance and movement.
Outside the office, Dr. Kurtz enjoys spending time with his girlfriend Kayla and their dog Murphy. He also loves to cook—ask him about his world-famous chicken parmesan—and enjoys staying active with pickleball, hiking, and many other outdoor activities.
Dr. Kurtz completed the final six months of his clinical training through a preceptorship under Dr. Melissa Klave in her office, where he gained valuable hands-on experience and developed his clinical approach. During that time, Dr. Klave invited him to join the team, and he is proud to now be part of the ATH family.
In practice, Dr. Kurtz primarily utilizes the Diversified technique, while also incorporating Activator, Cox Flexion-Distraction, myofascial release, cupping, and Graston as needed to provide comprehensive, patient-centered care.
