Dr. Ryan Betzina - Chiropractor in Lakeville, MN

Ryan M. Betzina, D.C.

Dr. Ryan Betzina has always been intrigued by the inner workings of a machine. For most of his life, Dr. Betzina’s interest in cars and motorcycles has inspired him to ask questions and search for answers. It came naturally to him but he was always driven to find the part that was broken and fix it. 

Dr. Betzina was instilled with a drive to succeed and to always push himself to the limit.  He was raised locally in the south metro Twin Cities by a single mother who was always there to help point him in the right direction. Growing up in Eagan and Rosemount, Dr. Betzina became grounded in the community but always looked for adventure. As a child he would take several trips to Seattle, Washington where he learned to backpack and learn about the outdoors.  He enjoyed the open space and the freedom the wilderness offered.

Dr. Betzina enjoys playing sports, especially when he was younger. Actively involved in football, basketball and baseball, Dr. Betzina was always on the move pushing his body every step of the way. Now he spends time playing volleyball, cycling and weightlifting. Once as a teenager, he was afflicted with a back injury and sought chiropractic treatment for help in pain management. His treatment and his need to understand how things work, coupled with his logical and scientific outlook led him to seek a career in Chiropractic Medicine. It was a natural progression, to him anyway.

Now practicing in Lakeville, MN Dr. Betzina is always there for his patients and his community. Because he enjoyed sports as a child, Dr. Betzina wanted to donate his time to the children of the community and provide them the same opportunity, as he had to enjoy playing on a team.  As a result Dr. Betzina has coached soccer each summer for the past several years, spending time with 4-6 year-olds, teaching them the basics and helping them pursue a healthy and active lifestyle.

Today Dr. Betzina aims to educate his patients about Chiropractic and other natural solutions to common health problems in order to motivate them to take a more active and responsible role in restoring and maintaining their own health.  As a chiropractor, he understands that although patients may be diagnosed with the same condition, they respond very differently to treatments. For this reason, he strives to tailor a specific plan of action to meet individual needs, goals & unique medical and physical condition.
