Dr. Jordan Weeda, DC
Chiropractor In Ashland Oregon
Specializing in the NUCCA Chiropractic Technique
Dr. Jordan Weeda, DC is a North
Dakota farmboy who moved West to become a chiropractor. After graduating Summa Cum Laude from
the University of North Dakota, and working for two years in the sales industry, Jordan realized that he was put on this
earth to help people, not sell them stuff.
Upon the
recommendation of several Minnesota chiropractors, Jordan and his wife Heidi moved to the San Francisco Bay Area to
begin chiropractic college at Lifewest, the reported best
chiropractic college in the nation. While at Lifewest, Jordan was deeply influenced by the rich
Life philosophy of Chiropractic. Jordan exposed himself to a wide variety of chiropractic approaches
(see the list below). These all have influenced his work.
Jordan was
introduced to NUCCA through a close friend and colleague of his. Latching on to the approach right away,
Jordan was able to sit in on the elective class twice before enrolling in it officially. While in his
internship at the Lifewest Health Center Jordan was able to care for the majority of his clients using this
approach. While in the Bay Area Jordan had the opportunity to work with a number of local NUCCA
practitioners. Dr. Michael Zabelin, Dr. Kathy Doyle,
Dr. Kim Khauv, Dr. Jamie Stern, and Dr. Christina Meakim all provided
counsel and instruction. Jordan also worked as an intern in the office of Meakim and Stern Family Spinal Care and gained valuable practice skills.
Jordan
graduated Summa Cum Laude as Salutatorian from
Life Chiropractic College West in 2009.
While in the Bay Area
Jordan became deeply influenced by the "locavore" philosophy of Michael Pollan. Jordan is a
passionate supporter of local and organic farming, CSAs
and direct farm to consumer markets, grass-based animal husbandry, and traditional foods. Jordan recognizes not only the profound environmental reverberations of this approach to
eating, but the unequivocal influence these foods have on human health. Paul Chek, the health, fitness, and
spiritual guru from San Diego, CA is also a great influence.
Jordan and
his wife Heidi discovered Ashland on a road trip through the Pacific Northwest. They were immediately drawn
by the beauty of the Rogue Valley and the profound sense of community here. It has been said that "home is
where the heart is" and even after traveling back to the Midwest to be with family, Jordan and Heidi felt
themselves being drawn back to Ashland. In mid-November Jordan, Heidi, and their new daughter Elle settled in
Ashland and began to build Wellspring Centre for Body Balance. The practice opened its doors on Feb 1,
2010.
Dr. Jordan is in the
process of beginning the intensive NUCCA certification process.
