About Dr. Kurt Brausen
Dr. Brausen was born and raised in Pierz, a small town in central Minnesota. He graduated from the University of Minnesota at Morris, where he majored in Biology and minored in Chemistry. While in college, he injured his lower back. After seeing various healthcare providers, he began seeing a chiropractor, and within a few visits, his back pain was gone. Upon graduating from Morris, he enrolled at Northwestern Health Sciences University, College of Chiropractic in Bloomington, MN, where he earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree. While at NWCC, he completed a wide array of coursework, including elective courses in acupuncture. Other areas of chiropractic he finds particularly interesting are whiplash trauma, sports chiropractic, and spinal rehabilitation. Dr. Brausen is the chiropractor in Sister Rosalind's St. Paul and Burnsville clinics and has been working with Sister Rosalind for over 20 years.
Dr. Brausen has dedicated his life to healing the body, spirit, and mind. He believes that chiropractic treatment is the most sensible and effective way to treat many common health problems. He also believes in the preventative power of chiropractic care.
In his free time, Dr. Brausen enjoys camping, sports, and spending time with his three children.

Wow - almost instant relief to my low back pain. I will be going back! I'm so happy to have found a wonderful chiropractor. Thank you!
January 9, 2026Shelley D.Verified patient
I have been going to chiropractors my whole life, but ever since a major car accident in 2022 I have been in severe pain. As soon as Dr. Kurt adjusted my neck I literally cried on the table from the relief I felt. I was blown out of the water!!! I have NEVER felt relief like that from even my favorite chiropractors in the past.. Even one who works for the NFL! I would give ten stars if I could! Thank you so much. Can't wait to go back!

I was experiencing severe pain and pinching in my lower back. I was worried I would be too tight for it to be corrected today, but not the case! I was fixed in a snap, quickly and painlessly and happy to report instant relief. Dr Kurt showed me on the skeleton model exactly what was wrong and fixed it immediately.

I didn't have to wait much. Dr. Kurt was very nice and professional. I haven't felt this good on my neck and shoulders in a while. I'm so thankful for the visit i felt relieved instantly. Would definitely recommend.
May 23, 2023Caroline J.Verified patient
Easy, in and out. Very good at listening and didn’t feel pressured to do anything I wasn’t comfortable with. Hard to give a honest review after one visit though.
April 17, 2023Mike H.Verified patient
Literally amazing. Finally figured out what was likely causing my widespread joint pain and willing to treat me right away for it! Very smart and validating, and an overall life saver! He even did my first adjustment for me today on the spot. Can’t say enough good about this doc and office! Great vibes all around. ????

I was amazed that Dr. Kurt was able to help me in a matter of 15 minutes. I don’t know why I waited so long to see a chiropractor. If I had known how much better I would feel, I would have done this years ago.
