Chiropractors

 

Dr. Taylor Meyers

The one constant in my life: motion. I played all of the sports growing up, but mostly hockey, soccer and basketball, and you can still find me in the gym or at the rink. Whether its reading, exercising, cooking or being outdoors, I like to keep my body & mind in motion. I’m constantly working to learn more, do more, and be more so that I can better serve my patients & the people in my life. There’s no doubt my passion for activity and chiropractic go hand-in-hand. Helping people is my passion, and through chiropractic, my passion has become my career. I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to positively impact lives each and every day

Dr. Emily Dahl

Growing up a gymnast, chiropractic was what kept me balanced and strong, allowing me to find what it meant to have passion. That, plus a love of biology and incredible support was a natural path toward chiropractic and nutrition. Now, as a mom of three, I know that whether it’s athletics, pregnancy, babies/ kids, and beyond, the unique possibilities chiropractic can offer are endless. I am so grateful to have found my passion and be able to use my heart and my hands to facilitate health at any age and stage of life.

Dr. Andy Risvold

I believe better health is the best gift you can give. That’s why I love coming to the clinic every day and giving my knowledge, passion and care to my patients. When I’m not at work, I enjoy volunteering and giving back to the community in other ways.

Dr. Darin Wagner

Chiropractic care to me is a way for people to not only be naturally free of pain and discomfort, but to exceed and excel at what it is they do every day. This can include taking care of your family, setting personal records in athletic events, being pain-free throughout your work or school day, or something entirely different. I enjoy being a Chiropractor because of each unique challenge that occurs when patients share these health goals and what is keeping them from achieving them. Here at Core, we have the tools and the skills to meet these challenges head-on.

Growing up my life revolved around sports and physical activity. Due to sports injuries, I found chiropractic and have consistently received care since.

Physical Therapy and Dry Needling

Dr. Haley Peterson

I strongly believe that we all have the makings to be active in a way that is meaningful to us, despite how we are structured. Personally, I have moderate scoliosis in my spine. Instead of letting the daunting scoliosis diagnosis limit me, I've learned how to support it with strengthening, healing, and mobility self cares, so I can continue to hike, run, and participate in my favorite sports: volleyball, basketball, and golf. My passion is facilitate and teach my physical therapy clients to be as active and pain free as they can, regardless of their body structure.

Devin Harwood

Devin completed his 600 hour massage therapy training at the Aveda Institute of Minneapolis, and became a certified massage therapist (CMT) in the Spring of 2013. There he was introduced to many different massage and bodywork modalities that helped him to navigate what his own personal “style” is.

His style is a mix of relaxation and therapeutic bodywork, blending many styles from: Deep Tissue, Craniosacral, Thai Massage, Trigger Point Therapy, Swedish Massage, and many more. Each session is customized to the individual to help address whatever your health and wellness needs may be!

His work is first and foremost grounded in calming, observing and adapting to the individuals nervous system; that which dictates all aspects of our lives. He believes that “deep” work doesn’t have to be painful to be effective and that addressing the whole opposed to one specific area can help to release years of pent up stagnation.

He proudly offers Pre-Natal work and is honored to be apart of your progression and to offer relief throughout your pregnancy.
