About Dr. Nick Fourie
Top-Rated Austin, TX Chiropractor
From Rugby to Chiropractic
For Dr. Nick, Rugby has been a lifelong pursuit finally earning him a scholarship to Life University in Atlanta. Throughout his athletic career, a Rugby injury routinely meant a trip to the physical therapist. “Naturally, I looked at a career in physical therapy as a way to stay involved in athletics.”
A Passion Turned Into a Calling
Being from South Africa there weren’t a lot of chiropractors growing up. Dr. Nick had his first adjustment in college and was amazed at how quickly he felt better without taking any pain medication.
From that point, he felt that regular chiropractic adjustments boosted his performance and allowed him to continue pursuing the activities he loved. “I felt better before games and healed better after games.”
When someone suggested that he look into becoming a chiropractor, he was sold. “Being a chiropractor meant I could do everything I loved about physical therapy in addition to being able to give adjustments. I love working with the body and working in training rooms.”


“I find it more challenging to lie down on the couch than to stay active.”

"Best chiropractor by far!"
Best chiropractor by far! I had been dealing with persistent upper back pain and had tried multiple other places with no real improvement.
After just one visit here, the issue was finally addressed. He also helped me with a foot injury I had been struggling with.
Extremely professional, thorough, and effective. I 100% recommend! - Elizabeth G.

"Dr. Nick was excellent"
I came to Back n Place with some sciatica pain, and Dr. Nick was excellent. He took the time to explain what was going on, walked me through the mechanics of it all, and laid out multiple treatment options and gave me exercises and stretches to do at home.
He really knows his stuff and made me feel comfortable and informed throughout the process.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for someone who’s both knowledgeable and down-to-earth. - Armaan V.
