Meet the Staff

Dr. Andrew Isaksen was born and raised here in the Willamette Valley. While growing up he participated in sports, scouts, shop, and many other community activities. He served a mission for the LDS church in South Korea for two years. He is the proud father of 5 young children and husband to his gorgeous wife Michelle. Dr. Isaksen attended Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa where chiropractic was founded and developed. While there he found joy in treating children that came to the school's clinic and has seen first-hand how chiropractic can benefit people of all ages, backgrounds, and conditions. At Palmer College, Dr. Isaksen had the opportunity to learn numerous adjusting techniques giving him the ability to treat each patient as an individual, custom tailoring the treatment to the patient. Dr. Isaksen has recently been hired as an instructor at Linn-Benton Community College where he will be teaching Anatomy and Physiology. He is pleased to be back in the Willamette Valley and able to offer his services to Salem area residents.

Michelle Isaksen is another of the people you will meet at NW Family Chiropractic.  Michelle is the Office Manager and works at the reception desk 2-3 days per week.   She received her certification in Medical Office Administration in 2008 and enjoys helping patients receive the best possible care. Michelle is the mother of 5 children ranging in ages 4-9 years old who keep her life amazingly interesting.  She is excited to be a part of bringing quality family chiropractic to the Salem area and looks forward to helping patients achieve their health goals! 

Brooke John - I am fairly new to chiropractic, but am learning fast how this practice is a benefit to its clients. I believe in the treatments that are essentail to natural healing, and I am fortunate to have the guidance of Dr. Isaksen in learning as much as I can about this profession.
