Momentum Health & Wellness MN · Elk River, MN
Doctor of Chiropractic · Applied Kinesiologist · Webster Certified
Dr. Anna Payne brings a rigorous academic foundation, extensive clinical training, and a genuine passion for root-cause health care to Momentum Health & Wellness Minnesota. Her approach blends chiropractic excellence with applied kinesiology and functional health — addressing the whole person, not just the complaint.
Dr. Anna Payne grew up in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, and pursued a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration at North Dakota State University — including a semester abroad through the National Student Exchange Program at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. It was a combination of academic discipline and a deep curiosity about human health that led her to Life University College of Chiropractic in Marietta, Georgia.
At Life University, Dr. Payne distinguished herself academically — earning a spot on the President's List (3.75+ GPA) for ten terms and the Dean's List for two additional terms. She founded and led the Functional Health Club on campus, attended over a dozen advanced technique seminars, and completed a 100-hour Applied Kinesiology certification series before graduating.
Her clinical training included student internships at Life University's on-campus clinics (CCHOP & CHOP), where she performed new patient exams, developed care plans, and administered chiropractic adjustments and functional kinesiology. She also served as a student intern at Wave of Light Chiropractic in Myrtle Beach, SC — where she expanded her skills with insight scans, digital x-ray, cold laser therapy, and advanced adjusting techniques.
In June 2024, Dr. Payne participated in a mission trip to Sayulita, Mexico with Nikau Women, providing high-volume chiropractic care to underserved rural communities — an experience that deepened her commitment to accessible, meaningful health care.
Dr. Payne is Webster Technique certified through the ICPA (International Chiropractic Pediatric Association), making her well-equipped to support prenatal and pediatric patients. She is excited to bring her training, energy, and passion for root-cause health to the Elk River community as part of the Momentum Health & Wellness team.
Dr. Payne has invested deeply in advanced technique training — going well beyond the standard chiropractic curriculum.
Every patient's story matters — and lasting health requires addressing root causes, not just managing symptoms.
Dr. Anna Payne believes in the body's innate ability to heal when given the right support. Her practice combines advanced diagnostic skills with a compassionate, whole-person approach to care.
