Carly Dropik, D.C.

Hi everyone!

My name is Dr. Carly Dropik, and I am the proud new owner of Central Lakes Chiropractic! This is such an exciting step for me, as I grew up right here in Alexandria and am thrilled to be coming home.

During my time at Alexandria Area High School, I was very involved in the community and enjoyed playing soccer, basketball, and softball, as well as cheering on all of the other Cardinals teams. After high school, I attended Augsburg University, where I earned my bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science while continuing to play softball for the university.

I have had an interest in chiropractic care since middle school, when I first started seeing a chiropractor myself. That experience sparked an interest that continued to grow over the years. When it came time to decide what I wanted my future to look like, I found Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington, Minnesota, where I pursued my Doctorate in Chiropractic. I graduated in 2022 and began my career in Chiropractic.

I’ve been in Fargo since 2023 to be closer to home and, at the time, closer to my now-fiancé, Ross, who was living there. Like me, Ross is also from the Alexandria area, and moving back home was always something we had talked about. It was really just a matter of when the right opportunity would come along.

Then I found Dr. Dolezal and the opportunity to take over Central Lakes Chiropractic. The transition felt like the perfect fit for both of us, and I knew it was the sign—and the timing—I had been waiting for. Coming home and becoming part of the Alexandria community again is something I am incredibly excited about.

I am so excited to be here and to get to know each and every one of you. It is an honor to have the opportunity to care for the community that helped shape me, and I hope to be a beneficial part of your health journey and a source of support for you and your family for many years to come.

I look forward to meeting you, hearing your story, and helping you feel your best!

Thank you for welcoming me home!
