Meet the Staff of Southview Chiropractic

THE DOCTOR

Dr. Alison Behnke, originally from southern Minnesota, attended University of Minnesota Duluth as an undergraduate student, and then finished her formal education at Northwestern Health Sciences University; where she earned a B.S. degree in Human Biology and a Doctor of Chiropractic degree. She is active in the Minnesota Chiropractic Association and the American Chiropractic Association, and through her work with these groups has had the opportunity to meet legislators and lobby both locally and nationally for the rights of Chiropractors and their patients.

Dr. Behnke was drawn into the chiropractic profession because of the great freedom to personalize care for each patient as an individual, and because she is a passionate believer that everyone should be active in their own health care. She enjoys educating patients so they can become their own health advocates. Dr. Behnke is also fascinated with the positive results she sees when treating infants and children; they are a joy to have in the clinic and truly illustrate that the body is self-healing. Also through Chiropractic, she has been able to become involved in various community and volunteer projects. Outside of the profession, Dr. Behnke enjoys spending time with family and friends, playing softball, reading a good book, and many outdoor activities including fishing, skiing, golfing, mountain biking and playing softball.
