Dr. Mark Dvorak
Chiropractor
Dr. Mark grew up in New Prague, MN. He is one of 11 children and has a passion for helping pregnant moms and raising healthy children. Between adjusting and continuing education, he enjoys playing with his toddler, walking his dogs with his wife, and playing outdoor sports. Mark attended high school in Jordan, MN, where, during his first varsity wrestling season, he suffered a head injury. He sought out chiropractic care, which led him to amazing results. This motivated him to learn more about the body when he attended the University of Wisconsin-Stout and achieved a Bachelor’s Degree in Applied Science. After working in contracted healthcare positions, he decided to make a change in today’s healthcare and applied to chiropractic school. He graduated with his Doctorate of Chiropractic from Northwestern Health Sciences University and now gets to “change the mindset of health” with Mindset Chiropractic.
When asked why he chose chiropractic school, he responded “I want to change the way we think about health and help people heal every day.”
Dr. Dvorak attained his Advanced Proficiency Certification of Torque Release Technique, and is certified in Webster Technique.
He is an active member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) and is in the midst of becoming a fully ICPA certified member, which includes about 25 other chiropractors in Minnesota.
He continues to attend live weekly training sessions in Pediatric Care through The Pediatric Experience with Dr. Tony Ebel.

Hayden, Gavin & Charlie Dvorak

These three have a big role in Mindset. They entertain adults, play with kids, randomly tell people in public that they need to go to Mindset, and occasionally sit still enough for a good picture.
