Dr. Michael Babcock’s journey to chiropractic care began as a multi-sport athlete. During his college years, he experienced an injury that required chiropractic treatment, and it was this experience that inspired him to pursue a career in the field. Determined to help others in the same way he had been helped, Dr. Michael enrolled at Northwestern Health Sciences University to become a chiropractor.
In 2015, he completed his final clinical rotation under Dr. Bledsoe at Bledsoe Family Chiropractic. After graduating, Dr. Michael continued working at the clinic and, in 2017, he took the next step in his career by purchasing Bledsoe Family Chiropractic.
Following in his older brother’s footsteps, Dr. Jesse Babcock attended Northwestern Health Sciences University, where he earned degrees in both Chiropractic and Acupuncture. He completed his final clinical rotation at the family clinic and officially joined the practice in 2022.
With Dr. Jesse now part of the team, the clinic’s name was officially changed to Babcock Family Chiropractic, symbolizing the brother’s shared commitment to health, family, and community care.
Dr. Michael Babcock was raised in Aberdeen, SD, and earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Northwestern Health Sciences University in 2015. Before attending Northwestern, he completed his Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology and associate’s degree in chemistry at Presentation College, where he also played basketball and baseball for all four years.
Throughout his intensive training and internship, Dr. Babcock worked in and around various clinics, gaining hands-on experience and deepening his passion for helping others through chiropractic care. His areas of interest include family practice with a focus on sports medicine, wellness care, pediatrics, and clinical nutrition. Dr. Babcock has since become the first official team chiropractor of Northern State University and has a passion for helping serve their athletes. He has also enjoyed being the chair of the Avera St. Lukes Philanthropy/Foundation Board in hopes to better serve the Aberdeen community.
Dr. Babcock is certified in Graston Technique, Rock Tape (postural taping), and Cox Technique. His clinical methods include manual adjustments, activator technique, drop-piece adjustments, flexion distraction and Graston technique—ensuring a safe, effective approach to pain relief and overall improvement of nervous system function. Additionally, Dr. Babcock is licensed to perform DOT physicals.
In his personal life, Dr. Babcock enjoys spending time with his wife, Dana, their children Sawyer, Nolan and Logan. He values staying physically active, being outdoors, and participating in his church community. His hobbies include coaching his kids, hunting, fishing, sports and volunteering in local community efforts.
Dr. Jesse Babcock was born and raised in Aberdeen, SD, where he attended Aberdeen Central High School. After graduating from Presentation College with a bachelor’s degree in biology, an associate’s degree in chemistry, and a minor in Exercise Science, he went on to earn his Doctorate of Chiropractic from Northwestern Health Sciences University.
Dr. Jesse provides holistic, quality care using a range of techniques. He is board certified in both chiropractic and acupuncture, with special interests in soft tissue mobilization, cupping, functional movements, and rehabilitative exercise. Dr. Jesse’s passion for chiropractic care stemmed from his own experience as an athlete, where he witnessed the significant benefits of chiropractic care firsthand.
Outside of his professional life, Dr. Jesse enjoys playing sports in the community, volunteering with his local church, and hunting. He and his wife, Kaylee, enjoy spending time with their children Kinslee and Myles.
Elizabeth graduated from Augustana University, earning a bachelor’s degree in athletic training along with a secondary degree in Exercise Science. She joined Babcock Family Chiropractic in 2021 and has since earned her Chiropractic Assistant (CA) license.
Passionate about promoting healthy, active lifestyles, Elizabeth is dedicated to helping patients stay active and enjoy life for years to come. She values building strong, trusting relationships with each person she works with and strives to provide the highest level of care.
Outside the clinic, Elizabeth enjoys spending quality time with her husband Mitchell and their two energetic children, Brooks and Bostyn, who keep them on their toes and bring endless joy to their lives.
With a background in patient care and customer service, Madison made a natural transition into her role as a Chiropractic Assistant at Babcock Family Chiropractic. Her passion for helping others and eagerness to learn new techniques make her a valuable part of our wellness team. Having personally experienced the challenges of living with chronic aches and pains, Madison brings a unique and empathetic perspective to her work. She’s excited to help others discover the everyday benefits of chiropractic care and support them on their journey to better health.
Outside of the clinic, Madison enjoys spending time outdoors soaking up the sunshine and making memories with loved ones. She also loves experimenting in the kitchen and sharing fun, creative dishes. Her positive energy and warm attitude have been a true blessing to our team.
Dana brings warmth, experience, and a deep commitment to people in her many roles at both clinic locations. With a background in Business Administration and Human Resources, she has always gravitated toward roles that involve connection, support, and community.
When Dana and Dr. Michael were expecting their first child, she chose to step away from the corporate world and join him at their satellite clinic in Clark, SD—bringing their newborn along just six weeks later. Since then, Dana has continued to play an integral part in both the Aberdeen and Clark clinics while also raising their three children, who have grown up seeing their parents working together to care for others.
Dana’s passion lies in nurturing her family, helping others, and living a balanced, healthy lifestyle. Whether it’s staying active through daily movement or exploring new wholesome recipes, she brings that same spirit of care and energy into every aspect of her life and work.
