Dr. Riley McCormick, DC

Dr. Riley is a chiropractor, with a degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA. During her time at Palmer, she served as a rehabilitation intern and worked with athletes of all ages, folks recovering from surgery, and active older adults in the rehabilitation department. She received her Master of Public Administration from the University of Colorado Denver. She holds a Bachelors Degree from Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee. She brings a strong background in sports medicine and physiotherapy, as well as a passion for treating the fascial and nervous systems.

Dr. Riley’s dedication to helping people began at a young age. She graduated high school with the hopes of becoming a physical therapist or orthopedist. After interning and shadowing in both offices, she knew neither was quite right for her. She went on to work in the public sector in local government and public finance before becoming an emergency medical technician. She first became interested in chiropractic after playing high level rugby in Denver. After several big rugby hits, Dr. Riley saw firsthand how chiropractic care can help athletes perform their best each week.

Dr. Riley is a certified EMT and currently serves as a volunteer ski patroller at Copper Mountain.

Outside of the office, Dr. Riley enjoys rollerblading with her two rescue dogs, exploring National Parks, traveling, and practicing calisthenics. She remains active in the rugby community and can be found watching matches, refereeing, and coaching. After her rugby retirement, Dr. Riley found a new passion in ice hockey and plays goalie for several teams in the Denver metro.

Dr. Riley values patient connection and is dedicated to creating an environment where her community feels welcomed, safe, and heard.
