Get to know Chiropractor Dr. Daniel Larsen, who serves patients in Stillwater, Minnesota.

Known as the “go-to” doctor in Stillwater, Minnesota, Dr. Larsen has been serving patients at his private practice, Rivertown Chiropractic and Wellness, since 2004. An authority on chronic pain, he uses advanced pain relief programs for chronic conditions and gets excellent results.

The doctor’s mission is to help patients get to a lifestyle that is pain-free. Each patient is important to him and it gives him great joy when he hears, “Hey, Dr. Larsen, I don’t know how you do it, but I feel better now than I have in years!”

When Dr. Larsen graduated from high school in Racine, Wisconsin, his dream was to work for a big corporation. He started majoring in Engineering but after a couple of years, it just did not have the same appeal as it had earlier. He explored the medical field but his father who was a physician told him, “There are too many drugs and unnecessary surgeries”. Something clicked, and he went full-blown into becoming a chiropractor. 

Upon graduating with his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Parker College of Chiropractic in Dallas, Texas in 1996, he completed training in many areas of chiropractic studies. A firm believer in on-going education, he also took classes from some of the best in chiropractic, even getting some of his education from Harvard. 

Denver, Colorado was a great place to practice for Dr. Larsen’s first ten years but his roots have always been back in Wisconsin and Minnesota. He fell in love with Stillwater and has been there since 2004. 

With a passion for learning, he keeps up to date on new advances in chiropractic and rehabilitation care. As a result, he now includes state-of-the-art technology and equipment to reduce the number of patient visits.

Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine that mainly deals with the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. A chiropractor uses spinal adjustments, manipulation, and other techniques to manage patients’ health concerns, including neck pain and back pain. They aim to improve patients’ functionality and quality of life by properly aligning the body’s musculoskeletal structure and enabling the body to heal itself without the use of medication or surgery. 

Born in Milwaukee, Dr. Larsen grew up with his brother, Steve, who are both Packer Backers when not supporting the Vikings. He always enjoys giving his nephew rides on his motorcycle and Jeep. Dr. Larsen loves to stay active by participating in various sporting activities, including boating in Stillwater. He volunteers his time in the community and is actively involved with Eagle Brook Church in Woodbury.
