After graduating in 2016, she chose to continue her education at Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington, MN to receive her Doctor of Chiropractic with an emphasis in sports medicine.

During her time at Northwestern she advocated for the chiropractic profession in Washington D.C and served as the Chapter President of the Student American Chiropractic Association. Dr. Presthus chose to complete rotations at the Salvation Army and Integrated Care Center of Minnesota, Northwestern’s community free clinics, to serve her community and help provide access to those in need of care. She also spent time on the sidelines for the various sports teams that Northwestern works with; including a local high school and a women’s semi-pro football team.Northwestern’s community free clinics, to serve her community and help provide access to those in need of care.

Dr. Presthus enjoys seeing all types of patients, but she especially enjoys working with expecting moms, babies, and young athletes! While practicing in Kansas City, this group became her focus which led to Dr. Presthus’s favorite chiropractic memory – getting to give her cousin’s newborn his first ever adjustment! On the weekend, you can find her cheering on the Iowa State Cyclones, exploring the sites of her new home with her dog Astro, and experimenting in the kitchen.
