Looking for a gentle chiropractor in Salt Lake City who will not lock you into a long-term plan? Dr. Jonathan Leusden, DC has practiced low-force, neutral-position chiropractic care in the Salt Lake City area since 2006, using a light-force method called Open Source Technique (OST). No cracking. No twisting. No end-range manipulation.
Built Around Three Things Most Chiropractic Offices Do Not Offer
Fewer Visits, By Design
Traditional chiropractic care is often sold as a package: two to three visits a week for months at a time. This practice works differently. Because each adjustment is precise and the assessment is thorough, changes tend to hold longer between visits. Most patients move from an initial visit, to a follow-up at one to two weeks, to a visit around four weeks out, then taper to monthly or every six to eight weeks as things stabilize. Fewer visits is not a sales pitch here. It is the actual goal.
A Thorough Exam Before Any Adjustment
Every visit starts with a real assessment, not a routine. That means checking how your spine, pelvis, ribs, and joints are actually moving that day, rather than running through a preset sequence. If something does not need to be adjusted, it is not adjusted. This is part of why the care can be lighter and still be effective.
No Long-Term Contracts or Prepaid Plans
There is no prepaid package, no required schedule, and no pressure to commit to months of care up front. You will know within the first visit or two whether this approach is helping. If it is not the right fit, you will be told directly.
Less Travel Time, More of Your Life Back
Fewer visits does not just mean less time in the treatment room. It means less time driving, less time parked in a waiting room, and fewer appointments to work around. For people juggling a downtown Salt Lake City job, kids, or a long commute already, that adds up fast.
Who This Approach Tends To Help
- People who want effective chiropractic care without being pushed into a long-term plan
- People with sensitive joints, hypermobility, or a history of joint injuries who want a gentler alternative to high-velocity adjustment
- People managing bone health concerns like osteoporosis who need a lower-force approach
- People with TMJ tension, headaches, or neck and back pain who have not gotten lasting relief elsewhere
- Anyone who has been burned by aggressive prior chiropractic care and wants something different

What Patients Say
“I was in a fatal car accident in 2017 with two pages of injuries… I had a office visit with Jonathan and when I tell you I completely felt different. He opened up ways that were blocked. I felt stronger. I stood straight up. My pain went away so if he can help me with a broken body, he can help you.”
