Dr. Brian Betts grew up in rural Nebraska, where hard work, discipline, and serving others were a way of life from an early age. Whether delivering newspapers at seven years old, mowing lawns, working on farms, or balancing multiple jobs, he developed the strong work ethic and compassionate heart that continue to define his care today.
Throughout high school, Dr. Betts was heavily involved in athletics and the arts, competing in football, basketball, track, golf, and baseball while also participating in band, choir, school musicals, speech team, and theater productions. He later attended Dana College, a Lutheran liberal arts school in Blair, Nebraska, where he became a four-year letter winner in both football and baseball. During his senior football season, his team finished ranked 14th nationally in the NAIA division.
Dr. Betts earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and General Science with a minor in Chemistry before attending Northwestern College of Chiropractic (now Northwestern Health Sciences University) in Bloomington, Minnesota, where he received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree in 1992. He has continued advancing his education throughout his career, becoming certified in corrective exercise and acupuncture, and is a Registered Chiropractor with Advanced Certification in Acupuncture.
Dr. Betts believes deeply that God designed the body with an incredible ability to heal itself, and that chiropractic care helps restore the body to function the way it was created to. Although he personally did not experience chiropractic care until attending chiropractic school, witnessing the transformation and healing in patients over the last 32+ years has strengthened his passion for helping others live without constant pain, stiffness, limitations, and chronic health struggles.
At Minnesota Family Chiropractic, Dr. Betts is part of a unique, faith-centered team that focuses on caring for the whole person — physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Unlike traditional practices that simply mask symptoms, Minnesota Family Chiropractic combines chiropractic care with acupuncture, corrective exercise, rehabilitation, muscle therapy, functional medicine, nutrition, decompression, and holistic therapies to address the root cause of health concerns and help patients achieve their God-given potential.
Patients appreciate Dr. Betts’ calm demeanor, experience, and genuine desire to see them improve. Whether helping athletes, families, seniors, accident victims, or those struggling with chronic pain and neuropathy, his mission remains the same: to help people restore hope, regain function, and experience the abundant life God intended for them.
