Your Journey to Lasting Well-being Starts Here

Stepping into a chiropractic office for the first time can feel like exploring a new country, filled with questions and uncertainty. At Atlas Family Chiropractic, we understand that. We see ourselves not just as healthcare providers, but as your guides and partners on a journey toward better health. Nestled here in Waite Park, MN, we are deeply committed to serving our neighbors throughout the greater St. Cloud area. We believe that true wellness is about more than just the absence of pain; it's about your body functioning at its peak potential. Think of your spine as the central highway for your body's communication network. When it's properly aligned, messages can flow freely, potentially leading to improved comfort, mobility, and overall vitality. Our goal is to create a welcoming and educational atmosphere where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. From your first conversation with Jonathan or Annika at the front desk to your personalized consultation, you'll discover that Atlas Family Chiropractic is a different kind of healthcare experience—one built on trust, personalization, and a genuine desire to see you thrive. We believe in patient education and will ensure you understand your health condition and treatment plan before you leave. Our team is always available to answer any questions you may have about your health or services.

Our Mission

At Atlas Family Chiropractic, our fundamental purpose is to serve as a beacon of health and hope for the Waite Park community and beyond. We are devoted to providing principled chiropractic care that looks beyond symptoms to address the underlying cause of dysfunction. Our mission is to educate and empower each patient, from children to adults, fostering a deeper understanding of the body's innate ability to heal. We strive to restore proper function and alignment, helping you build a foundation for lifelong wellness.

    Our Story

    The story of Atlas Family Chiropractic is deeply intertwined with the story of our founder, Dr. Katie Dobowey, and her connection to central Minnesota. Growing up in nearby Cold Spring and attending ROCORI High School, Dr. Dobowey developed a profound appreciation for the strong, supportive nature of our local communities. This foundation fueled her academic and professional journey, from earning a Bachelor's degree at the University of Minnesota to achieving her Doctorate of Chiropractic at the prestigious Palmer College of Chiropractic. While at Palmer, her leadership and dedication were recognized with numerous honors, including the esteemed Vogt Leadership Society scholarship, but her heart remained set on returning home.

      Dr. Kate Dobowey
      Chiropractor
      Hi, I’m Dr. Kate, and I’m so glad you’re here! At Atlas Family Chiropractic, my greatest passion is helping people experience life the way it was designed to be lived—healthy, balanced, and full of energy. I focus on correcting the misaligned atlas, the very top bone in your neck, because I’ve seen firsthand how much it impacts the brain, body, and overall health.

      What I love most about being a chiropractor is building real relationships. My patients aren’t just “patients”—they’re family. I want everyone who walks through our doors to feel cared for, listened to, and supported on their journey toward better health.

      When I’m not in the office, I'm a wife and momma to 4 great kids. I enjoy spending time at the lake and cheering on my son playing baseball and basketball. I believe life is meant to be lived fully, and good health is the foundation for that.

      My mission is simple: to help you unlock your God-given potential by restoring balance, health, and hope through specific chiropractic care.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      How do I become a new patient?

      We are honored you are considering us for your care. To begin the process, please click the "Schedule an Appointment" button on our website's Home Page and submit the required information. Our team will then contact you to confirm the details. We strive to see new patients as soon as possible, but due to our thorough approach, there is typically a one to two-week waitlist. We will call you as soon as an opening becomes available.

      What happens during the first two visits?

      Your initial visit is entirely diagnostic in nature, as we do not adjust on the first day. This allows us to perform a comprehensive consultation and all necessary exams and specialized X-rays to accurately diagnose your condition. On your second visit, called the Report of Findings, we will review our findings with you in detail and present our recommendations for care.

      How long are the first two visits?

      Please set aside ample time for these crucial appointments. Your first diagnostic visit will take approximately 75 to 90 minutes. Your second visit, the Report of Findings, will last between 60 and 75 minutes.

      How much are the first two visits?

      Because your care is tailored to your specific needs, the cost can vary. The investment for your first visit will typically range from $350 to $419. Your second visit, the Report of Findings, will range from $200 to $288.

      Do you accept insurance?

      Yes, payment is due in full at the time of service. For your convenience, we accept cash, personal checks, Visa, MasterCard, and Discover. In unique circumstances, we can establish specific payment plans; we encourage you to speak with our finance director to discuss this possibility.
