Look For The Cause
Your symptoms are important, but they may only be part of the picture. At our clinic, we look beyond where you feel discomfort to understand how your spine, structure, and nervous system may be influencing the way your body functions. When spinal misalignments irritate nerve pathways, the entire body compensates, leading to chronic discomfort, fatigue and diminished vitality.
Rather than focusing on temporary relief, Dr. Bursch delivers comprehensive chiropractic care that addresses the spine from the upper cervical region down through the tailbone. With specialized expertise in upper cervical care, his approach focuses on restoring proper alignment and supporting healthy nervous system function. This allows our bodies to self-heal and function precisely as designed. Our goal is to look deeper, address underlying structural patterns and to help you function at your best.

What is Upper Cervical care, and how does it differ from traditional chiropractic?
Upper Cervical care is a specialized approach to chiropractic that focuses on the relationship between the upper neck, including the Atlas and Axis, and the nervous system. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, Upper Cervical care uses detailed examination, imaging and precise measurements to determine the appropriate location and direction of an adjustment. The techniques are gentle, specific, and tailored to each individual, with the goal of supporting proper alignment and nervous system function throughout the whole body!
Are your adjustments gentle enough for infants, children, and seniors?
Yes, absolutely. Our techniques are gentle and specifically tailored to each patient's age, size, and individual needs. For infants and toddlers, the amount of pressure used is extremely light- no more that the gentle pressure you would use to test the ripeness of a peach. We use age-appropriate techniques designed to help children and adults feel safe, comfortable and at ease throughout their care.
Do I need a doctor's referral to schedule an appointment?
No referral is required. You can contact our office and schedule your initial consultation and comprehensive assessment directly. If you have previous medical records, MRI scans, or X-rays, our clinical team will gladly review them during your first visit to ensure complete continuity of care.
What specialized testing and diagnostic imaging do you perform?
We use diagnostic spinal imaging along with computerized thermography and nervous system assessments to gain a detailed understanding of each patient's individual needs. These measurements help us evaluate spinal alignment and nervous system function, as well as track changes over time and before and after care. Which allows us to make an informed, individualized decision rather than relying on guesswork.
Where is your office located, and what is the parking situation?
Our office is conveniently located at 12 2nd Ave S in Sauk Rapids, directly across from the Wells Fargo and near Coborn's. ADA-accessible parking is available right outside our building in our parking lot , with a ground level entrance and no stairs, making it easy and convenient for patients of all ages and mobility levels.
What should I expect during my very first visit?
Your first visit is designed to help us understand your health history, concerns and individual needs. We'll begin with a thorough consultation and examination, which may include neurological testing and precise spinal imaging when indicated. We'll then take the time to explain our findings, answer your questions, and discuss next steps and recommended care before any treatment is provided.
