Shakopee Chamber's March Business in the Spotlight: Kavanagh Chiropractic

Every month the Chamber features a different member business as our "Business in the Spotlight." Our March 2012 "Business in the Spotlight" is Kavanagh Chiropractic in Shakopee.

treats all ages from infants to elderly. Their office focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and nervous systems and the effects of those disorders on general health. Chiropractic care is used most often to treat back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs and headaches. Tissue injury can occur from a single traumatic event, such as improper lifting of a heavy object or through repetitive stresses, such as sitting in an awkward position for extended periods of time. In either case, injured tissues can cause inflammation, pain and diminished function for the sufferer. Manipulation or adjustment of the affected joint and tissues restores mobility, thereby alleviating pain and muscle tightness, allowing tissues to heal.

Kavanagh Chiropractic consists of Dr. Sarah Kavanagh, Chiropractor, and Jen Mackenthun, office manager, (who is also a massage therapist and owner of Pure and Simple Therapeutic Massage.) Dr. Sarah was born and raised in Murdock, MN and has lived in Shakopee since 2006. She graduated from Northwestern Health Sciences University in August of 2007. Dr. Sarah has experience from infants to elderly and enjoys all aspects of patient care. Her philosophy involves educating patients to promote health and healing through adjustments, soft tissue work, nutrition and lifestyle choices. They are a provider for most insurance companies and also offer affordable rates for those without insurance.

Dr. Sarah purchased the clinic from another chiropractor in 2008 and since then has made a lot of changes to the business. She previously worked in Norwood Young America as an associate doctor where she learned about operating a business and took the positives aspects of patient care and used them to open her practice. She believes that each patient is different and each patient’s care should be tailored to their needs. You will never get a cookie cutter treatment plan from Kavanagh Chiropractic – or be pushed into coming back for repeat visits!
