Meet Dr. Dana Pausch

Dr. Pausch grew up in Wahpeton, North Dakota, and has been a chiropractor in Fargo since 2008. He's old school in the best way: he listens, figures out what's actually going on, explains it in plain English, and gets to work.

There's no script, no sales pitch, and no long list of extras. Patients say he's quick to find the tight spots they didn't even know about, and honest about what it will take to feel better. Most leave with an adjustment and a few simple things they can do at home to keep the progress going.

"This guy is amazing at what he does. I was having extreme neck pain for 4 weeks. After my first visit with Dana, I feel back to my old self and pain free. You don't have to stay in pain, let Dana help you out."
