Dr. Colyn Haugen was born and raised in Mandan, ND. His journey into chiropractic care began at age 12 when his passion for sports led him to his first chiropractor. This experience ignited his appreciation for the benefits of chiropractic on the body and overall wellness. 

Dr. Haugen pursued his undergraduate studies at Montana State University, where he also cultivated his love for the outdoors through activities like snowboarding, biking, hiking, camping, and fly fishing. An injury while snowboarding, which resulted in a compact fracture of five vertebrae, further deepened his interest in chiropractic care as it helped alleviate his pain and restore mobility. This pivotal experience solidified his dedication to understanding the musculoskeletal and nervous systems.

Dr. Haugen continued his education at Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington, MN, where he honed a variety of chiropractic techniques including Diversified (manual), Gonstead, Activator Technique, taping, cupping, Graston, and numerous other therapies.

Outside of his professional life, Dr. Haugen enjoys spending time with his wife, Ali, and their puppy, Nordi. They actively engage in outdoor activities and community events. Dr. Haugen has a passion for golfing and hockey and never misses an opportunity to go snowboarding.
