Meet Dr. Dakota

Born and raised in Loudonville, Dr. Dakota has a deep-rooted love for this quaint Ohio town. Upon graduating from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 2016, he knew immediately that his hometown would also be home to his practice. After extensive renovations to a historic building on Main St., he was able to fulfill his dream of opening here and bringing health and healing to the community that he loves.

Since opening SHC, Dr. Dakota and wife Ashley have gone on to have three amazing children, Evelyn, Stella, and Sterling. His love of being a father has only further fueled his desire to create a healthy community for his own children to grow and thrive in. Now an entrepreneur, with several small businesses on Main St. including the adjacent Strive Health Fitness, Dr. Dakota’s passion for Loudonville continues to grow every day and his love for his family continues to drive his desire to help bring wellness to yours through neurologically based chiropractic care.

With extensive training in pediatric chiropractic care, as well as whole family wellness care, he is constantly working to expand his knowledge base, so that he is able to provide the best care possible to his practice members. Additionally, Dr. Dakota’s love of sports, which is what led him to this work, has helped him to become an asset to local athletes, offering extremity adjustments, along with traditional hands-on care.

Whether seeing patients, tackling a new project, or spending time with his family, Dr. Dakota approaches everything he does with tremendous passion, empathy, and deep regard for the overall wellness of the community. It is his goal to bring that same passion, empathy, and regard to every one of his patients, making them a part of the Strive family, or “Strive Tribe’, as he’s jokingly dubbed them.
