Education & Training
Dr. Leusden began his academic journey at the University of Colorado, Boulder, where he studied from 1998 to 2002. He then pursued his Doctor of Chiropractic degree at the renowned Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, graduating in 2006. At Palmer, he developed a deep understanding of spinal health, nervous system function, and natural approaches to pain relief and wellness.
Professional Experience & Chiropractic Approach
After completing his chiropractic education, Dr. Leusden founded and practiced at Gentle Chiropractic in Colorado Springs from 2006 to 2011. There, he built a reputation for compassionate care and effective treatment tailored to each patient’s needs.
In 2011, he expanded his practice to Utah, where he continues to serve patients at Gentle Chiropractic Salt Lake and Gentle Chiropractic Utah near Monroe, Utah. His focus remains on providing gentle, non-invasive chiropractic adjustments to help individuals of all ages relieve pain, restore mobility, and improve overall well-being.
Dr. Leusden specializes in Open Source (OS) Chiropractic, a highly detailed, light-force impulse technique that allows for precise adjustments to the entire spine, ribs, sternum, shoulders, cranial bones, pelvis, hips, knees, feet, arms, wrists, hands, visceral organs, jaw, and TMJ. This comprehensive approach ensures that every aspect of a patient’s musculoskeletal and nervous system health is considered and treated effectively.
Life Beyond Chiropractic
Since 2011, Dr. Leusden has been developing a small farm, where he raises sheep and lambs, cultivates a large garden, and tends to an often-productive orchard featuring heritage varieties of peach, apple, pear, and plum trees.
When he’s not helping patients or working on the farm, he enjoys hiking, flying his paraglider, and spending quality time with family and friends. His deep appreciation for nature and outdoor adventure reflects his commitment to a healthy, active lifestyle—values he encourages in his patients as well.
In addition to his chiropractic practice and farming, Dr. Leusden is passionate about free flight sports. Every September, he helps organize the largest free-flight paragliding and hang gliding gathering in the United States, held in Monroe, Utah. This annual event brings together enthusiasts from across the country to celebrate and share their love for the sport.
