I was born and raised on  a dairy farm east of Pine City, MN.  I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Minnesota, Duluth, receiving a Bachelor of Science degree in the field of   Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in 1999.  After UMD, I attended chiropractic school at Northwestern College of Chiropractic, and received my Doctor of Chiropractic degree with   Cum Laude honors in 2003.<br> <br> My specialty is in wellness chiropractic and nutrition, and I am a certified Creating Wellness coach  through the Creating Wellness Alliance.  As a wellness chiropractor, my purpose is to help people regain their health and maximize their quality of life by optimizing the the function of the nervous system and faciliting lifestyle changes.  

Wellness chiropractic is based on a simple but elegant understanding of health.  First, we were born to be healthy.  Our bodies are   self-healing, self-regulating and designed to express health at all times.  Second, our nerve system (brain, spinal cord and nerve network) is the master controlling system of our body. Finally, stress (which may be physical, chemical or mental/emotional) that is beyond our ability to adapt, overwhelms our nerve system and cause subluxations; a breakdown of the communication within our nerve network.  Subluxations reduce the healing and regulating ability of our bodies, leading to the loss of our health and quality of life.<br> <br> I have advanced training to use the Insight Millennium Subluxation Station, a state-of-the-art technology that measures the function of the nerve system, to locate these nerve disturbances. I then use a very gentle and specific method of chiropractic adjustment, using the &#34;Integrator,&#34; to restore proper nerve function which leads to improved health.  This approach is so gentle that it is safely applied to infants as young as one hour old to those well into their 90’s.<br> <br> I addition to experiencing tremendous relief from many physical concerns, som of my best clients have also reported experiencing numerous other side benefits as a result of his care.  Benefits such as: Improved sleep, more energy, relief from other aches and pains, improved digestion and elimination, greater clarity of thought, improved out look and attitude, fewer colds and improved immune function, greater stamina, decreased need for some medications and better overall health.<br> <br> I currently live in White Bear Lake with my wife Jaclyn, son Moses, our dog, Bailey and two cats, Scout and Jack.
