Dr. Eklund has always had a strong connection to sports. During his high school track years, he suffered a significant low back injury that left him barely able to walk. Through chiropractic care, he was able to recover and continue his athletic pursuits. His recovery not only allowed him to finish his high school career but also helped him go on to play college football for the University of South Dakota and Black Hills State University.

After earning his Bachelor of Science in Human Biology and Doctor of Chiropractic degrees from Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington, Minnesota, in 2008, Dr. Eklund opened a chiropractic practice in Spearfish, SD, where he served his community for 17 years. He sold his practice to pursue his family’s dream of now living in a tropical paradise.
