Dr. Nicole earned her Bachelor of Science in Human Biology and her Doctorate of Chiropractic at Northwestern Health Sciences University, Bloomington MN (2003-2006)

Believing in the importance of childhood development she obtained extra education and has her Pediatric Certification & Webster Technique Certification from the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association(I.C.P.A.) (2006-current)

When not treating patients, Dr. Nicole is a wife, a mother, a photographer and a hiker. Her husband, Dr. Chris Lauer D.C., is also a chiropractor treating patients with an emphasis in Sports Rehabilitation. Her son, Tristan, is a wild little man with an outgoing personality. Combining photography outdoors, she loves to photograph sunrises, sunsets and also has ventured into family portraits.

Dr. Alison Behnke graduated from Northwestern Health Sciences University as a Doctor of Chiropractic in 2007.  She bought an office in Burnsville a few months after graduation and practiced there until February 2016.  The decision to join forces and make the move to HealthSource of Lakeville has proven to be a great one.  Dr. Behnke’s favorite part about being a Chiropractor is that it is constantly evolving and allows her to continue learning and challenging her knowledge and skill set.  Not a day goes by where she is not amazed by the human body and its capabilities.  

Outside of her Chiropractic life, Dr. Behnke spends time being active.  Her favorite things involve being outside; especially when her dog, Peanut, can join in the fun.  She likes power-lifting, mountain biking, hiking, fishing, golfing and anything that can bring out a laugh.  Her happiest days are those where she can let her adventurous side shine.

Dr. Behnke’s favorite type of patient is one who loves to move and wants to excel in their area of interest, or one who has suffered chronic pain or stiffness but does not believe they have to live with it forever.
