Dr. Nicholas Bigrigg is the Founder and CEO of Aligned Health Center and a leader in structural corrective chiropractic care.

Born and raised in Northeast Ohio, Dr. Nick graduated from Amherst Steele High School with honors in 2001. A standout multi-sport athlete, he led the Comets to two conference football championships and placed second in the State of Ohio in pole vault during his senior year.

He went on to attend Kent State University, where he played Division I varsity football from 2001–2005. After college, Dr. Nick played indoor football for the Sioux Falls Storm.

It was during this time that his life—and career path—changed.

After suffering a severe low back injury, he was told surgery was inevitable and that his athletic career was likely over. Refusing to accept that outcome, he sought a second opinion from a chiropractor who focused on structural correction. Through corrective care, he avoided surgery, restored function, and returned to play for another season.

But more importantly, he experienced something bigger.

He noticed improvements in his overall health, performance, and quality of life—far beyond just pain relief. That transformation ignited a passion to help others experience the same results.

Dr. Nick was awarded a three-year rugby scholarship and earned his Doctorate of Chiropractic from Palmer College of Chiropractic. He has since undergone extensive post-graduate training in Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP), completing advanced structural and postural analysis training at Ideal Spine Health Center in Boise, Idaho. He has also pursued additional training in soft tissue therapies and pediatric care.

As the clinical leader at Aligned Health Center, Dr. Nick is committed to delivering long-term structural correction—not just temporary symptom relief. His mission is to help patients restore function, improve longevity, and live active lives at every age.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Nick continues his passion for athletics as the Head Coach of the Bay High School Football Team, where he mentors and develops young athletes both on and off the field. He believes discipline, structure, and leadership are just as important in life and health as they are in sports.

Above all, he is a devoted husband and father who leads by example—living the principles of strength, structure, and service that define Aligned Health Center.
