Meet Dr. Niko

Dr. Nikolao Savaiinaea, affectionately known as Dr. Niko, is the CEO and lead physician at City Spine and Injury. He is passionate about helping patients feel better, move better, and get back to doing what they love. While Dr. Niko has a strong focus on personal injury care, he also enjoys working with individuals seeking to improve their overall health, mobility, and quality of life.

Dr. Niko earned his Doctorate of Chiropractic from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 2022. Since then, he has worked in a variety of clinical settings, gaining valuable experience and shaping the patient-centered, compassionate approach he brings to every visit.

Outside of the clinic, Dr. Niko takes great pride in his Polynesian heritage. He actively participates in Siva Afi — traditional fire knife dancing — a cultural art form that reflects discipline, skill, and deep cultural roots. His love for culture, community, and family is a central part of who he is, and you can see this through his family’s business South Pacific Island Dancers.

When he’s not caring for patients, Dr. Niko enjoys staying active and spending time with his wife and their two beloved dogs, Giuseppe and Alfredo.
