Hey everyone! My name is Tom Littell. A little bit about me, I grew up in Elm Creek and currently live here in Kearney. Growing up, I was involved in several different sports such as football, basketball, and track, all of which were fun activities that I enjoyed when I was younger. However, rodeo was my biggest and probably my favorite sport. I started on horseback about as soon as I could sit up straight and continued this into high school and college where I team roped, calf roped, and steer wrestled (bulldogging) at Hastings College. I still continued to pursue rodeo even after college, where I focused on steer wresting in the PRCA and various amateur associations throughout the area. I enjoyed my time bulldogging and still do. In 2021, I furthered my education and attended school at Cleveland University Kansas City where I obtained my Doctorate in Chiropractic. While in school, I took external education courses to gain further knowledge in soft tissue therapy, rehabilitation, and joint manipulation or adjusting. While doing these I was lucky enough to become a representative and eventually President of our campus – Motion Palpation Institute. Some of the modalities I utilize include DNS rehabilitation, FAKTR soft tissue therapy, Stecco Fascial manipulation, the McKenzie method of mechanical diagnosis and therapy, Dry Needling, as well as several others. All of these things allow me to treat my patients with a multi-modal approach to provide the best conservative care outcomes possible. I am very grateful to my parents, family, and friends as well as those who have helped me through this process. This has and will allow me to provide the best care possible for my community. I owe a special thanks to my wife, Jordan, for all you do, as well as my business partner and more importantly great friend Jake, without either of you, none of this is possible. For the people of Kearney, I’m very excited to help you move better, feel better and perform better. See you at Dynamic Spine!

Dr Jake Bartling

Hey everyone I’m Dr. Jake Bartling. I’m one of the providers here at Dynamic Spine. I received my bachelors in Exercise Science from UNK while playing defensive end for the football team, and throwing the shot-put and discus for the Loper track team. Athletics has always been a passion of mine. Ever since I was a little kid I knew that sports was a piece of me that was here to stay. Once I realized that only the 1% of the top 1% of athletes make a career out of playing sports, I decided the next best thing would be to treat and train athletes to keep me close to the game. I set my goals to become well versed in human biomechanics, rehabilitation, strength and conditioning, nutrition, and pain management of the musculoskeletal system.

After college, I went to Cleveland University in Kansas City to earn my Doctorate in Chiropractic. I spent countless hours attending seminars, clubs, listening to podcasts, and reading books to further my education and understanding of how the human body moves, performs and recovers. I am blessed to provide high quality care for the people of Kearney and the surrounding area.
