Get to know Chiropractor Dr. Keegan J. Roper, who serves patients in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

A Fort Lauderdale native who has been serving the local community as a chiropractor for the last 17 years, Dr. Roper sees patients at his private practice, Inline Health & Wellness.

He first grew to love chiropractic when his chiropractor helped him recover from a sports injury in high school, so he initially focused on sports medicine and rehab. However, he soon expanded his scope to work with patients of all ages and physical abilities, with the intention of not just alleviating pain, but keeping patients healthy long-term. With that goal in mind, the practice has expanded over the years so that patients have various holistic treatment options available in one location.

Regarding his educational background, Dr. Roper completed his Bachelor of Science degree in foods, nutrition, and wellness studies at the Florida State University College of Human Sciences in 1998. He then went on to earn his Doctor of Chiropractic degree at Life Chiropractic College in 2002.

His patients most appreciate his compassion, his knowledge, and the wealth of experience he will share in order to help them feel well and stay well.

Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine that mainly deals with the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. A chiropractor uses spinal adjustments, manipulation, and other techniques to manage patients’ health concerns, including neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, elbow pain, wrist pain, hip pain, knee pain, foot and ankle pain, headaches, vertigo and a long list of other ailments and conditions. They aim to improve patients’ functionality and quality of life by properly aligning the body’s musculoskeletal structure and enabling the body to heal itself naturally, without the use of medication or surgery. 

When he is not at the office, one can find Dr. Roper on-the-go with his wife, Kiarra, daughters Kenzie and Kiley, and dog, Klover. As a water-loving Pisces, he enjoys being on the boat, the beach or in the pool. He was a multi-sport athlete in high school and college. Now an avid golfer and overall sports fan. He is always rooting for his favorite Florida teams – the Dolphins, Panthers & FSU.
