Dr. Baar was born and raised in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and is a 2005 honors graduate of O’Gorman High School. Her interest in chiropractic began early, shaped by an active upbringing and years spent competing in golf, basketball, and soccer.
She went on to attend the University of Dayton in Dayton, Ohio, graduating with honors in 2009 with a Bachelor of Science in Pre-Physical Therapy, with an emphasis in Exercise Science and a minor in Psychology. She later moved to St. Louis, Missouri to attend Logan College of Chiropractic, where she earned her Doctor of Chiropractic degree with honors in 2012.
While at Logan, Dr. Baar completed additional training in acupuncture and Active Release Technique® (ART®), a specialized soft-tissue treatment designed to address muscle adhesions and improve mobility. In 2022, she expanded her clinical skillset by completing coursework in dry needling, giving her even more tools to help patients recover from musculoskeletal injuries and chronic pain.
Dr. Baar chose Logan in part for its broad treatment philosophy, allowing her to bring a wider range of techniques back to Sioux Falls. In practice, she utilizes Logan Basic Technique, a gentle, low-force approach that supports the nervous system, along with Active Release Technique®, making her one of the few providers in the region offering this specialized soft-tissue therapy. Incorporating the Three A’s of health, from every angle—Adjustment, Acupuncture, ART—Dr. Baar takes a holistic approach to helping her patients move better and feel their best.
Outside the clinic, she enjoys spending time with her daughter, family, and friends. When she isn’t reading or watching a favorite show, she’s often daydreaming about her next travel adventure. Her passport already includes stamps from Australia, Spain, Mexico, Canada, Iceland, and Bora Bora, and she’s always happy to hear a good travel recommendation.
