Meet The Doctor

Dr. Nate Hove was born and raised on the Key Peninsula. He was first introduced to chiropractic care at Key Center Chiropractic after his mother was involved in a motor vehicle accident. Throughout high school, he played soccer and wrestled. As Dr. Nate became more competitive, regular chiropractic treatments not only helped to prevent injuries but allowed him to compete at the state and collegiate level. 

Dr. Nate decided he wanted to pursue becoming a chiropractor after a freestyle wrestling tournament in high school where he was thrown onto his neck. He suffered headaches, neck pain and numbness down his left arm. After receiving muscle work and an adjustment from Dr Dave Krympec, the range of motion in his neck returned, his headaches went away and the numbness down his arm faded. He was able to return to his sport and decided to pursue the chiropractic profession in order help others experience the same relief from their pain.   

Dr. Nate attended Western Washington University where he received his Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology specializing in Exercise Sports Science.  Dr. Nate then moved to San Jose, California to receive his doctorate at Palmer College of Chiropractic West.  

Out of the office, Dr. Nate enjoys his active lifestyle outdoors. In the winter his main passion is snowboarding. In spring and summer, you can find him, riding his dirt bike, mountain bike, rafting, boating, swimming, and camping. In the fall he hikes and tries to golf.
