Healthcare that trusts your body to do most of the work.

My first experience with chiropractic was at this very clinic. I was injured while snowboarding and very much in pain, and I was nervous about what was going to happen. I was skeptical about whether chiropractic could even help. Little did I know it would change my life forever. Now I am a doctor at this very clinic, and I have the good fortune of changing other people's lives every day.

After that first experience, I was amazed at the changes it made. I ended up talking with Dr. Tessendorf about how he had gotten involved in chiropractic. He encouraged me to look into it, so I shadowed other chiropractors, physical therapists and medical doctors. After running the gamut of care providers, I changed majors and pursued a career in the health sciences.

Through my coursework I learned a great deal about how we as humans function. Anatomy and physiology are intimately related, and chiropractic was the only profession that seemed to really embrace that relationship. My decision was made, and here I am. I truly love what I do and how much it can help people when they allow themselves to give it a try. We are lucky to have such amazing bodies, capable of performing amazing feats and healing all on our own.

A little about me

Outside the clinic I spend my time hunting, fishing, backpacking, biking and kayaking. I make it a point to play as much as I can, and I've made it a priority to enjoy my time off as much as my time on the job. Work to live. Don't live to work, or you'll have problems.

Healthy habits

No one is perfect. Not Olympic athletes, not your parents, not doctors. Everyone does things they shouldn't in regard to their health, and I am no exception. I do try to lead by example as often as I can.

Eating right and exercising mean different things to different people. Eating like your parents did might not be right for you; your great-great-great grandparents probably had the right idea, though. They ate their vegetables. Vegetables and fruits are good for you. Organic is even better. Eat them.

Consistent exercise is an amazing thing too. Our bodies crave it. It raises metabolism, lowers stress, boosts confidence, and sharpens the mind. The American Medical Association recommends the average adult get two and a half hours of aerobic exercise each week. That's thirty minutes a day. I'm no rocket surgeon, but I think we could stand to do a bit more than that.

I look forward to meeting you

You've learned a little about me and what I think. But what do you think? What inspires you? How will you take charge of your health? How can I help?

At Borealis we treat patients, not disease. That means you make the crucial decisions in your own healthcare. We'll make suggestions along the way, but ultimately it's up to you to make the changes that get the results you deserve. We'll just do our best to push you in the right direction.

Yours in health, Dr. Klinner

From a very young age I have loved helping people. As I got older I explored which career would let me keep doing that. While mentoring at Borealis Wellness Clinic in high school, I met Dr. Klinner and watched him work with patients. From that point on, I knew this was exactly what I wanted.

After high school I graduated from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh with a degree in Kinesiology in 2019, worked as a personal trainer, and that fall started at Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington, Minnesota, to pursue my doctorate in chiropractic. Along with anatomy, physiology and adjusting technique, I took part in the Pediatrics Club, Activator Club, Gonstead Club and Webster seminars. In clinic I worked with athletes, elderly patients, pregnant mothers and infants.

I graduated in 2023 with a Doctorate in Chiropractic with a sports emphasis. I'm glad to be serving the community I grew up in. In my free time I enjoy hunting, fishing, being outdoors, and spending time with family and friends.
