DR. RYAN, FOUNDER/CEO
I always say, "I didn't find chiropractic care... It found me." As cliché as that may sound, it is true. I was lost in life, searching for "what I wanted to be when I grew up." The only thing is, I was already in my junior year of undergraduate school. I had gone from everything from dentistry to PE coach, trying to convince myself that I would be happy in pursuit of a career in that particular field. Heck, I even almost went to pharmacy school... (if you want to know more about that story, you better buy me a cup of coffee first, haha!!)
Long story longer, I was studying to get my biology degree at Lindenwood University, and a long-lost friend of mine (Dr. Dustin Bosson of the amazing Vital Performance Chiropractic) invited me to come on a campus tour of Logan University, and the rest is history, so to speak. In my time in chiropractic school, I developed a strong passion for helping families THRIVE instead of merely SURVIVE. My wife was able to stop medications and overcome some significant health concerns while under neurologically based chiropractic care. This opened my eyes to what was truly possible in our bodies when they are free of neurological interference, and I have been on a mission ever since to help those I come in contact with realize their true potential, too!
DR. MARLEE, PRENATAL & PEDIATRIC EXPERT
I am Dr. Marlee Coleman, a passionate and dedicated chiropractor specializing in prenatal, postpartum, and pediatric care using the Gonstead technique. As a full-spectrum doula and Webster certified practitioner, I am committed to supporting individuals throughout their journey to achieve optimal health and well-being.Originally from Manchester, CT, I pursued my Bachelor's degree in Athletic Training at the University of Charleston in West Virginia. It was during this time that I developed a strong foundation in understanding the human body and its mechanics. However, it was during my studies at Logan University, where I obtained my Doctorate of Chiropractic, that I truly discovered my passion for working with families, especially during pregnancy and childhood. During my time at Logan University I witnessed firsthand the impact a strong support system and chiropractic care can have on a soon to be mama and developing baby. This realization led me to pursue a certification as a doula, enabling me to provide holistic care and guidance to expectant mamas and their partners as I finished chiropractic school.
Ultimately, my goal is to empower individuals and families to experience true health. I firmly believe that everyone possesses an innate ability to be healthy, and my mission is to prioritize their well-being. I envision a world where this innate ability is recognized and embraced, placing individual health at the forefront of our lives. It is a blessing to be able to assist individuals in achieving their health goals and creating a brighter future for themselves and their loved ones.
DR. LEVI, FAMILY WELLNESS EXPERT
My passion for chiropractic was ignited by a life-altering event and a series of health challenges during my high school years. At the age of 15, I endured a back injury that resulted in a temporary loss of sensation in my legs. This experience compelled me to explore various healthcare options, ultimately leading me to the transformative field of chiropractic.Throughout my personal health journey, I encountered a range of issues such as autoimmune disorders, chronic headaches, allergies, and gut-related problems. Dissatisfied with conventional approaches, I embarked on a quest for natural and holistic solutions to restore my well-being. This pursuit ultimately guided me to enroll at Logan Chiropractic College, where I gained the knowledge and skills needed to address the underlying causes of my health issues. During my time at Logan, I discovered the renowned Gonstead chiropractic method, which sparked my unwavering commitment to providing specific, neurologically principled care to my patients. Through precise adjustments, I strive to restore optimal function and help individuals express true health. I firmly believe that health and healing reside within each and every one of us, and my role is to identify and remove the obstacles preventing our bodies from reaching their full potential.
On a personal note, I grew up in a small farming community in Silex, MO, where I developed a deep appreciation for the outdoors, sports, family, and faith. Being the youngest of eight children and having a twin sister shaped my understanding of the importance of close relationships. During my sophomore year of college, while studying abroad in Gaming, Austria, I met my wife, Shannon, who hails from Michigan (no, she's not from Austria— I get asked that a lot!). We tied the knot in May 2021 and recently welcomed our first child into the world. Our beautiful baby boy has brought us immeasurable joy and inspiration, further fueling my passion to assist individuals and families in living life to the fullest and embracing their innate healing abilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept insurance?
While we don't directly accept insurance, we are considered out-of-network, and as a part of our service, we will contact your insurance to see what coverage is included in your plan.
What is the cost of the first appointment?
After your $75 deposit for your virtual consultation, that amount will be applied to your first visit. The total first visit cost is $330. That includes x-rays, neurological scans, findings, and your first adjustment. This is something we can also work into your care plan.
How soon can I get an appointment?
We book a week or two in advance, depending on availability. You will have a virtual consultation with one of our doctors, then our team will schedule your in-office visit from there.
Why do I have to do a virtual consult before my in-office appointment?
As neurologically focused chiropractors, we go deeper than the average chiropractor. We are not the place to come and get a quick crack/pop and come back when it hurts. We aim to truly get to the root cause of the issues you're having and prevent future ones from arising through specific, neurologically focused chiropractic care. By booking with our doctors, this allows them to fully hear you and understand what is going on, so we know that you are in the right place and how to best assist you once you arrive for your first appointment.
Do you see pregnant women?
Yes! Our doctors can see you at any point during your pregnancy - before, during, or after.
Do you see babies?
Yes! We believe chiropractic care is essential to them adjust smoothly to the outside world. We can see babies as soon as they're born!
I don't have back pain. Is chiropractic care still recommended?
Yes! At Excelsior, we focus on whole body wellness. We use readings from a nervoscope to help us determine interference in the spine that's colliding with your body functioning at its best. Getting adjusted affects everything from mental health to gut health and beyond.
