Associate Chiropractor
Dalton Frick D.C.

Dr. Dalton Frick grew up on a farm just outside of Sibley, Iowa. Growing up Dalton dealt with injuries in his low back, shoulders, and ankles, he sought out care for those injuries through a chiropractor in town to help him along the way.

Dalton attended Iowa State University where he was able to experience many aspects of the healthcare community where he eventually gravitated toward Chiropractic care where he is able to better serve his patients through a more natural and holistic approach.
After graduating from Iowa State University in 2018, with a bachelor's degree in Kinesiology and health, he decided to further his education and attended Northwestern Health Sciences University and graduated in 2022 with a Doctor of Chiropractic degree.
