Meet the Doctor
Dr. Jerrad Bergren is a doctor of
chiropractic serving Balsam Township, Grand Rapids, and surrounding areas. He was
driven into a health care profession after spending four years of his childhood
in and out of hospitals and clinics battling leukemia. Even though they
were very difficult times for Jerrad and his family, he fell in love with
health care and knew he would one day be in the health care field. He accomplished that goal in
August 2008 after spending four years at Northwestern Health Sciences
University in Bloomington, MN for chiropractic school. He is one of the youngest chiropractors to ever graduate from NWHSU being just 23 years of age at that time. Before that, he spent
two years at Itasca Community College in Grand Rapids, MN and two years at the
University of Minnesota - Twin Cities for pre-chiropractic studies.
After graduation, Dr. Bergren
started his clinic in Balsam Township to show small town support by giving back
to the community and the people who did so much for him and his family during
his childhood battle with cancer. He opened a second clinic in Grand Rapids in 2011 to become more accessible to to his Grand Rapids patients.
Dr. Bergren uses a "whole
person approach". This approach to wellness means looking for
underlying causes of any disturbance or disruption (which may or may not be
causing symptoms at the time) and make whatever interventions and lifestyle
adjustments that would optimize the conditions for normal function. Using this
unique approach, Dr. Bergren is able to help you to accelerate and/or maintain your
journey to good health.
Dr. Bergren is an active member of the American
Chiropractic Association and the Minnesota Chiropractic Association.
Dr. Bergren has also received EMT and Firefighter certifications. He is an active member of the Balsam Volunteer Fire Department.
