Our vision is your sight.

CHIROPRACTIC NUTRITION ACUPUNCTURE AND FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE Dr. Taryn Nyblom Dr. Jeff Nyblom

When the time comes to seek out chiropractic care, we hope you will think of us. We’d like to teach you a better way to promote real health, starting with bony alignment. Misaligned bones promote fatigue, pain and dysfunctioning organs, muscles and joints. Proper alignment promotes energy, restful sleep, wellbeing and proper functioning of the whole body. With years of experience helping: difficult cases, car accidents, work injuries, sports injuries, ADD, ADHD, IBS, ED, (and just about anything else you can come up with), we’d love to make a difference in YOUR life!

Real healthcare for the whole family.

Chisago County History Chisago County was established in 1851, seven years before Minnesota became a state. The county seat, first at Taylors Falls, moved to Chisago City in 1865 and to Center City in 1875. The wood frame courthouse built at Center City in 1876 stood at the site of the new Government Center until 1990 when it was moved to Taylors Falls and later to Almelund. The St. Croix River, which forms the county’s eastern boundary, brought the earliest settlers to the area. The Dakota and Ojibwa were largely gone when the first white settlers appeared. Europeans arrived from the north as early as 1680. French fur traders following the same route southward from Lake Superior established trading posts along the river as far south as Taylors Falls in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. In the late 1830’s the first sawmills were built along the St. Croix. The logging industry boomed into the twentieth century. Among the first permanent settlers was a party of Swedes who traveled upriver from Illinois in 1851 and established a colony at Center City. This colony was made famous by Swedish writer Vilhelm Moberg in his novels, The Emigrants, Unto A Good Land, The Settlers, and The Last Letter Home. Farming began in the 1850s and was a focus until the 1890’s when vacationers discovered the county’s bountiful lakes and rivers. Today it is the beauty of the Dalles of the St. Croix, its park system and abundant recreational areas that bring visitors to the county.
