Dr. Jesse Leith

Chiropractor

ABOUT OUR TEAM

Our chiropractor on site is Dr. Jesse Leith, a tribal member of the Lower Sioux Indian Community - C̣aƞṡayapi Oyate.

He grew up in Redwood Falls, MN where he graduate high school. He loved playing sports throughout the years; he ran cross country and track & field, played football, basketball, and tennis. Because of sports and the injuries that sometimes come with them, he met his first chiropractor.

Later he attended MSU, Mankato for undergraduate school where he studied Chemistry and Biomedical Science under the pre-chiropractic program they offered. Following MSU, he began graduate school at Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington, MN; where he studied the intricacies of the human body - specifically the nervous system. There he graduated with a Doctorate of Chiropractic.

“I always knew I wanted to help others feel loved, whether it was another person, a dog, a cat, a plant, or a tree. I knew what it felt like to be happy inside and the good feelings you felt, so I wanted others to feel this, too. This brought me to the idea of becoming a doctor. And, my culture and way of thinking made me want to do it in a natural way, and I knew drugs were unnatural; they were created in a lab. So, I looked for a more natural approach and I found chiropractic…”

 
YOU ARE SACRED

YOU ARE SACRED

Wakaŋ (wah-Kahn)

-Dakota word that has been translated to: Spiritual, sacred, or holy

You are sacred

At Wakan Chiropractic, we know all life is sacred. We are all relatives interconnected with everything in the Universe, and we play a vital role in Life itself.

The human body is intricately connected, as well. We look at the bodies (physical, mental, spiritual bodies) as a global unit rather than splitting them into separate parts to work with. At Wakan Chiropractic, we wish to restore your connection to the Source that created you, WakanTanka Tunkasida/The Grandfather Great Spirit/God - and have your natural healing abilities work to their potential.

Wopida tanka (immeasurable thanks).
