Chiropractor
Samuel Klinner D.C.

My first experience with Chiropractic was at this very clinic. I was injured while snowboarding and very much in pain, I was also nervous about what was going to happen. I was skeptical about whether or not 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 my first experience with Chiropractic, 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; I began to shadow other Chiropractors, as well as Physical Therapists and Medical Doctors. After running the gamut of care providers, I decided to change majors and pursue a career in the health sciences.

Through my scholastic coursework, I learned a great deal about how we as humans function; anatomy and physiology are intimately related. Chiropractic was the only profession that seemed to really embrace this 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 humans are so lucky to have such amazing bodies, capable of performing amazing feats and healing all on our own.

A Little About Me

Outside of the clinic I enjoy outdoor recreation, I spend my leisure time hunting, fishing, backpacking, biking and kayaking. I make it a point to ‘play’ as much as I can. I have 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 do in regards to their health and I am no exception. I do, however, try to lead by example as often as I can.

Eating right and exercising are funny things because they mean different things to different people. Eating like your parents did might not be right for you. Your parents now have diabetes, heart disease, hypertension and no fashion sense. Your great-great-great grandparents probably had the right idea though, they ate their veggies!!!

Vegetables and fruits are good for you. Organic fruits and veggies are even better! Eat them! Eat them in a box. Eat them with a fox. Eat them on the rocks!!!

Consistent exercise is an amazing thing too. Our bodies CRAVE it. It helps to raise our metabolism, lowers our stress levels, boosts our confidence, increases our intelligence and allows us to wear the trendiest work-out clothes. DO IT!!! The American Medical Association recommends that the average adult get 2.5 hours of aerobic exercise each week. That is 30 minutes each day. I am no rocket surgeon, but I think we could stand to do a bit more than that!

I Look Forward to Meeting You

You must be suffering eye-strain by now? If you’ve gotten this far, I applaud you. You have 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 and wellness? How can I help?

At Borealis Wellness Clinic LLC, we treat patients, not disease; this allows our patients to make the crucial decisions in their own healthcare. We may make suggestions along the way, but ultimately it is up to you to make the lifestyle changes necessary to get the results you deserve. We’ll just try our best to push you in the right direction! Contact us today to schedule your consultation. We look forward to meeting you!

Yours in health,

Dr. Klinner

Chiropractor
Dr. Ryan Paul

From a very young age, I have always loved helping people. As I got older, I explored the options of what career would help me continue to do so. While mentoring at Borealis Wellness Clinic in high school, I was able to meet Dr. Samuel Klinner and learn more about Chiropractic. I watched him work with patients and was able to learn more about Chiropractic care. From that point on, I knew this was exactly what I wanted.

After High School, I graduated from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh where I studied Kinesiology, receiving my Bachelor of Arts and Science degree in 2019. After graduating, I worked as a personal trainer for 4 months prior to starting graduate school.

In the fall of 2019, I continued my education at Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington, MN, to pursue a doctorate in Chiropractic. While there, I learned a great deal of human anatomy, physiology, and adjusting techniques to help serve a wide range of patients. I took part in different clubs and seminars such as Pediatrics Club, Activator Club, Gonstead Club, and Webster seminars. As I transitioned into clinical and working with patients, I worked with people of all ages and lifestyles such as athletes, elderly patients, pregnant mothers, and infants.

I graduated from Northwestern Health Sciences University in 2023 with a Doctorate in Chiropractic with a sports emphasis. I am looking forward to helping to promote health and wellness in a holistic manner and serving the community I grew up in as well as the surrounding areas. In my free time, I enjoy hunting, fishing, and being outdoors. I also enjoy spending time with family and friends.

“I have been seeing Dr. Sam since I had back trouble 2 years ago. I have been doing maintenance every 6-8 weeks and have been feeling great. I have an 8 month old daughter who was favoring one leg and having bowel movement problems, and decided to have Dr. Sam take a look at her. After one adjustment she went home and had a B.M. and also took off crawling that night. (She was starting to crawl, but would get up on all fours and drop back down, like it was uncomfortable). She is now all over the place and very regular. The staff and care at Borealis Wellness Clinic is outstanding, I would recommend it to all!”

What to expect with our Doctors

Your First Chiropractic Visit

On your first visit, come prepared to spend some time talking with us about your specific complaints, your medical history & your overall health. You can expect to spend about an hour at your first visit.

After a thorough history, range-of-motion, neurological & orthopedic exams, specific to your complaints, will be performed. Digital x-rays may be taken depending on your presentation and medical history. Once all of the pertinent information is gathered, your Doctor will begin assessing your condition. Typically adjustments will be delivered at your first visit, unless there is not adequate time.


Your Second Visit

Talking about any changes since your first visit, assessing changes and fine-tuning.

A care plan is devised and then explained. Recommendations are made and it becomes your responsibility to adhere to the recommendations.

If, after an assessment, your Doctor decides that you are not a candidate for Chiropractic care, you will be referred elsewhere.

If co-management is necessary, your Doctor of Chiropractic will recommend the type of care necessary and make the appropriate referrals. It is your responsibility to follow through with all aspects of your custom-tailored care plan.

Pediatric and Family Wellness Care

Untreated Childhood Injuries have Lasting Effects

Life comes at you quickly, injuries can happen at any age and often go untreated, getting worse silently over time. Many of the health problems that we deal with as adults are the direct result of past injuries that have worsened over time. We all know that getting quick and effective treatment in adulthood speeds up healing and allows for better function; the same is true for kids.

Pediatric Chiropractic Care can Help

Dr.Sam.Klinner.Child.Chiropractor.Medford.Wisconsin.jpg

Birth trauma, frequent falls as a toddler, or sports injuries are common problems that are treated safely and effectively with specific Chiropractic adjustments. Delicate techniques are used with infants and toddlers, to restore range-of-motion to injured joints, restore nervous system integrity, and ultimately allow for better healing. Getting your child checked by a Chiropractor is essential if you suspect they are suffering from an injury or ailment. Pediatric Chiropractic care is a wonderful way to ensure the health and wellness of your most precious family members.
