Meet Dr. Cley Charlson
Dr. Cley Charlson grew up in Sioux Falls, SD. Following high school graduation, he attended the University of South Dakota, where he pursued a degree in Kinesiology. He then earned his Doctorate of Chiropractic from Northwestern Health Sciences University (NWHSU) in Bloomington, MN, in 2022.
While at NWHSU, Dr. Cley developed a keen interest in athletics and became involved in the Human Performance Center. There, he collaborated with Doctors of Chiropractic, Doctors of Chinese Medicine, and Massage Therapists in an integrative clinic setting. Working alongside these professionals, Dr. Cley encountered athletes from various disciplines, including NFL Alumni, USA Tug-O-War, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Australian Football, MN Vixen, Concordia Academy, and more. These athletes presented with a wide range of complex orthopedic conditions.
It was in this environment that Dr. Cley recognized the importance of an integrated clinic approach, addressing not only the joints of the body but also the soft tissues surrounding them. This realization motivated him to acquire additional certifications in FAKTR (Functional and Kinetic Treatment with Rehab) and SFMA (Selective Functional Movement Assessment), along with becoming a board-certified Chiropractic Acupuncturist.
Driven by his passion to treat athletes, be they professional competitors, weekend warriors, or parents keeping up with their children, Dr. Cley is dedicated to optimizing individuals of almost any physical condition. He combines scientific expertise with a genuine commitment to empowering individuals on their health and fitness journeys.
