Dr. Rick Odland...
is a native of Sioux Falls. Born and raised here, Dr. Odland has a love for this city and the surrounding communities – including the central part of town where he grew up and the west side of town where his residence and clinic are located – that shows in his enjoyment of the area.
From Cancer to Chiropractor…
If you had asked Rick as a boy what he was going to do when he grew up, the last thing he would have said would be a chiropractor. In addition to his studies and many pastimes during his high school years, including collecting Volkswagens and playing guitar, Rick worked full-time at KDLT-TV and did not plan to go to college after graduation. But, a year after his high school graduation, Rick realized he had other ideas for his life and as a result, started taking classes part-time at Augustana College in Sioux Falls. After undergoing treatment and surgery for skin cancer during summer break that year, he decided to go full-time to college and study Biology. He graduated from Augustana College in 1997 with a biology degree – in addition to many other activities while on campus, he also got to assist in a cancer research project with frogs. He and his wife then moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota where he began school at Northwestern Chiropractic College in Bloomington, MN. During his time at chiropractic school, Rick was very involved in the school’s Student American Chiropractic Association where he served as secretary, vice-president, and finally president. For his outstanding leadership, a school professor awarded him the coveted “Maverick” award. He was also voted by the students to be a class speaker for graduation.
Dr. Odland completed his internship for his final trimesters by working with Dr. Gene Hagedorn in Sioux Falls. He then became an Associate doctor at the clinic and in 2002, purchased the clinic from Dr. Hagedorn. A new location for the clinic is now open - also on the west side of Sioux Falls at 3600 S. Marion Road - just around the corner from the old location in the Clock Tower Square on the corner of 41st and Marion.
In his free time, Dr. Odland enjoys spending time with his family – wife, Amy, a 7-year-old son and a 5-year-old daughter. He is involved in their church, First Evangelical Free Church, as the Deacon of Worship and as part of a worship team. He also enjoys woodworking, hunting, Sioux Falls history (which he has written a book on), and reading.
Dr. Brandon Heck...
is a
native to South Dakota - he grew up on a farm/ranch near the small town
of Isabel in northwestern South Dakota. After graduating from
Isabel in 1997, he attended Dickinson State University in North Dakota
and then went on to study at Palmer College of Chiropractic.
Dr. Heck decided to become a chiropractor for a couple of reasons -
first, he had a passion for helping others and second, he witnessed his
brother-in-law, who is also a chiropractor, help a variety of physical
ailments naturally with chiropractic care. After graduating from Palmer, he moved to Sioux Falls to
begin his career as a chiropractor. He loves the Sioux Falls area
because it has the atmosphere of a larger city but also allows him to
pursue his hobbies and visit family. In 2003, Dr. Heck opened
Health and Wellness Chiropractic on the west side of Sioux Falls.
In 2007, he joined the Odland Chiropractic team. He has a strong
passion for chiropractic and loves working with people of all ages, from
infant to adult.
Dr. Heck enjoys spending time with his family - wife, Misty, and their 7 year-old and 2 year-old. He is actively involved in their church, Hillcrest Community Church and he also has a passion for the great South Dakota pastimes - hunting and fishing.
Dr. Gene Hagedorn...
was born and raised in and around the Flandreau, South Dakota, area. I graduated from Flandreau High School in 1966. After high school, I attended South Dakota State University in Brookings for 2 semesters; however, I was number one on the county Military Draft list so decided to join the US Navy. I entered the Navy in December, 1967. After finishing boot camp, I was sent to San Diego and stationed aboard the US Navy Aircraft Carrier USS Constellation (CVA-64). We spent the next 10 months off the coast of Viet Nam and cruising the Tonkin Golf and Western Pacific area. After returning to the US, I attended Navy schools for training in shipboard radar electronics. I was then assigned to duty aboard the US Navy Guided Missile Destroyer, USS Barney (DDG-6). During the next 2 ½ years, we spent time cruising the Mediterranean Sea, the coasts of Western Europe, Northern Africa, Eastern US, and the Caribbean Sea. I was honorably discharged as an E-5 in December, 1971.
I returned to South Dakota following my discharge and began working in the construction industry for Sioux Falls Construction Company. I worked in and around the Sioux Falls area and also spent several months in Norfolk, Nebraska, and Pierre, SD, on various construction projects. My construction career abruptly ended on July 18, 1975 when I suffered my first heart attack. I found out that family history certainly does have a major affect on all of our lives! It was time to make a career change.
In 1976, I moved to Durango, Colorado, and enrolled at Fort Lewis College School of Business. I lived in the beautiful southwest Colorado mountains until graduating with a Bachelors Degree in Business Administration in 1979. I then moved to Minneapolis, MN, and enrolled at the University of Minnesota graduate school of Business Administration. I received a Masters Degree, MBA, in Business Administration (emphasizing health care management) in 1980. After graduating, I found a job as the director of a Visiting Nurses and Home Health Care agency for the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area. I later co-owned and operated a Temporary Health Care service, an answering service, and two secretarial services.
In 1983, I decided I needed to do more with my life than manage health care employees. I enrolled at Northwestern College of Chiropractic, Minneapolis. I spent the next 10 trimesters attending Northwestern College and operating my businesses. I graduated in 1986, with a Doctor of Chiropractic, DC, degree. I then realized I'd had enough of the “big city” life and moved back to Sioux Falls.
I opened my Chiropractic office, in the current location at Clock Tower Square 41st Street and Marion Road in southwest Sioux Falls, in 1987. I spent the next 14 years as a sole-practitioner getting to know all of my wonderful patients, whom I now consider "friends" more than patients. I was blessed in 2000 when I had the great fortune to meet a Chiropractic student, originally from Sioux Falls, named Rick Odland. I felt an immediate bond with this charming gentleman and brought him into my Practice when he was finishing school, first as an intern and later as an Associate after receiving his South Dakota Chiropractic license. Dr. Rick has now assumed all responsibilities of the Practice. I am completely retired now and feel honored to have worked with Dr. Rick Odland as his Associate.
I have also been blessed in my family life with a son, Mike, and daughter-in-law, Niccie, and 2 beautiful granddaughters. I enjoy fishing and hunting and have a camper and boat, which I keep in the Platte, SD, and Missouri River area. Three years ago, I had a 1934 Ford Cabriolet convertible built and enjoyed attending car shows and "cruising."
