About Us
Kirsten Svaleson DC, CCSP®
I have always known that I wanted to help people from a young age, however I was not sure which avenue to take. I went to NDSU to pursue a degree in Exercise Science with a minor in Psychology. During and after college, I was a personal trainer where I found value in helping my clients reach their individualized goals. I was able to rehab existing injuries, improve their health through a holistic approach and better themselves mentally and physically. This is where I realized that the chiropractic profession would allow me the opportunity to help people in a unique way.
I received my Doctor of Chiropractic from Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington, MN. I had extensive experience in soft tissue modalities, rehabilitation and corrective exercises. My passion is to provide you with quality care and education to assist you in reaching your goals and to provide the tools to take care of your body.
I have had the privilege of working with various types of patients. Whether you are a "weekend warrior”, dedicated athlete or someone who wants to be able to lift their child/grandchild. I am here to keep you healthy so that you can do what you love. I also work with patients who spend most of their days sitting at a desk, educating them on ergonomics and providing corrective exercises.
I have worked with women who experience low back pain during pregnancy. The body is constantly changing, and it is important to have a healthcare profession managing your pain during that exciting time!
I am originally from Fargo and I'm excited to bring my knowledge and passion back to my hometown. When not working, I love spending time with family and friends. I enjoy staying active, playing intramural volleyball, spending time at the gym or being outside.
I have become a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician (CCSP®). I have completed 100+ hours of post-graduate classes, both online and hands-on as well as passed a national exam to be certified. The classes included concussion management, sports-specific evaluation & treatment, and emergency care.
As of the Summer of 2023, I have taken Continuing Education classes to become trained in Cranial Sacral Therapy (CST 1). I have completed the first class to be able to work on the bones of the skull, the jaw as well as how it helps the low back. It is to help improve the function of these locations but using light tough to improve the movement. If it is something you are interested, ask how we can incorporate it into your treatment plan.
