Team NSHC
Meet the Doctors
Dr. Ted Harrison DC, FAVO, CCST knows firsthand the power of chiropractic healing. While playing football at the University of Minnesota, Dr. Harrison sustained a neck injury that stayed with him for almost a year. At the time, he was a Biology major with the intention of going pre-med. However, after meeting a newly-licensed chiropractor who performed an adjustment on Ted that allowed him to turn his head for the first time in many months, he made a decision to pursue chiropractic. He has been committed to it with unrelenting dedication and continuous education ever since.
​
He attended school during the day and ran a small gym at night. Once licensed, he opened his chiropractic clinic in an adjacent office to the gym and was the first to incorporate chiropractic with stretching and strengthening in a gym setting – a concept that others thought was crazy. The gym is still a key part of North Suburban Healthcare and is used as the rehabilitation center to this day.
Dr. Harrison’s philosophy is: “Do everything I can for the patient.” He is committed to educating himself and strives to learn as much as he can in order to offer his patients the best care. He is currently one of only a few doctors in the country who is a Board Certified Chiropractic Orthopedist and has also received the Certification of Completion from the Spine Research Institute of San Diego (SRISD) in automobile crash and reconstruction with forensics and risk analysis
​
When he’s not helping people at his clinic, Dr. Harrison enjoys volunteering with local high school football teams and the Special Olympics. Dr. Harrison’s free time is spent with his wife and four children. He also enjoys golfing and studying World War 2 history.

Massage Therapist
I’m from a small town in northern Minnesota called Menahga, but currently reside in Ramsey with my boyfriend and two dogs. When I’m not practicing massage therapy, I enjoy walking my dogs, reading, hunting, and fishing. Being a Massage Therapist is such a rewarding career in that I’m helping people every day. I feel I have a purpose and am genuinely proud to work with Dr. Ted, as he truly cares about his patients. I am constantly learning new things and exploring numerous avenues that a career in massage therapy offers.
