Dr. Blake DeJong grew up in Eden Prairie and has decided to come back to his hometown to open his own chiropractic practice and help his community thrive. Dr. Blake’s passion for chiropractic started when he was a little kid, and his dad took him to a chiropractor because of back pain from playing hockey. He loved going to the chiropractor every week because he knew it would provide him relief from the pain; he always felt so much better after getting adjusted.
It was through this first-hand experience that he learned chiropractic benefits extend far beyond treating back and neck pain. Chiropractic encompasses every aspect of your body and life; it focuses on your nervous system, which controls your whole body. Therefore, when you receive a chiropractic treatment, your nerves are relieved of pressure and can resume functioning as designed. That ensures you feel and heal better.
After graduating from Eden Prairie High School, Dr. Blake attended Creighton University where he got his bachelor’s degree in exercise science. After college he went to Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington, MN to obtain his doctorate in chiropractic. During this time, Dr. Blake started to put together a plan to fulfill his dream of opening his own practice in his hometown. He has seen that dream through to reality by opening Elite Spine Chiropractic. He is extremely excited to finally be able to help and serve his community in any way possible and hopes that he can have the same impact on others as he has received from chiropractic care!
Candy De Jong
Massage Therapist
Hello! I’m Candy De Jong, the Massage Therapist here at Elite Spine Chiropractic. I have been doing Massage Therapy for 23 years. After graduating from Northern Lights School of Massage Therapy (also known as Center Point) in 1999, I started my own practice in Eau Claire, WI. I maintained that practice until moving to Eden Prairie in 2012.
I enjoy doing Swedish massage (relaxing and therapeutic techniques to increase circulation/blood flow), Integrative (more specific strokes, slower with a little more pressure), and Trigger Point (concentrated finger pressure applied to painful/tender areas within muscles to break the pain/spasm cycle).
I believe Massage and Chiropractic compliment each other nicely. Often Massage, in conjunction with a Chiropractic adjustment, helps the adjustment be effective longer.
When not giving massages, I enjoy working out, spending time with my husband and family, and our two Golden Retrievers.
I look forward to helping anyone looking to relax, unwind, rejuvenate, and receive the benefits of massage!

Dr. Blake is a great Chiropractor. He's knowledgeable and genuinely cares for his patients health and wellness. My neck and back have never felt better. I highly recommend checking out Elite Spine in Eden Prairie.
I was directed to Dr. Blake and Elite Spine Chiropractic when my previous Chiro closed down. In the past year that I have been going Dr. Blake has been great to interact with.<br><br>I have recommended Elite Spine for my friends, family and coworkers. They are no pressure and flexible to my schedule needs.
Best in the business. Enjoy having him as a partner and second location at our facility. We were looking for a chiropractor to show care and results with an end game plan to help clients succeed in their fitness journey. Dr Blake is the one!
I’ve struggled for years with wrist pain and limited range of motion. Blake has done such a great job treating it, and providing a totally treatment plan around getting me back healthy.
Saw Dr. DeJong for both assisting and managing pain as a result of a SLAP Tear and osteolysis. His vast knowledge in anatomy and biomechanics proved superior to any other medical professional I have worked with. Highly recommend Dr. BeJong for anyone who needs chiropractic care!
Dr Blake has helped my headaches go from unbearable pain at least twice a month that lasted for several days to one headache a month lasting for a day or two. He has been amazing for my health!
Blake is truly amazing at what he does! He has helped me literally and figuratively get back on my feet when my back was in so much pain that I couldn’t even stand up straight. He has not only helped me, but also my wife and our two children. I highly recommend him for any of your chiropractic needs!
Dr Blake is the only person I trust to care for me and my family. He is very professional while also being personable, very knowledgeable, and cares for his patients. I recommend him to all my friends and family!
I was a little apprehensive about going to a chiropractor but I am now a huge champion of Dr. Blake! I loved that he took x-rays and explained what was going on in my back in a way that I could understand. I have never felt rushed and always feel that he listens. Dr. Blake has a number of different options for treatment. His office is calm and inviting and he is really easy to work with. My back feels so much better and I have way more mobility in my neck. I cannot recommend Dr. Blake enough!
I had never bought into the chiropractor thing because I heard so many things about how it hurt others or didn't help or that you have to keep going back.. Blake took the time to explain to me how it works and why you have to go in more often at the beginning and it makes sense. There's a ton of damage that needs to be undone. I had 30 years of bad posture and bending for work. I hurt constantly and I just thought that was normal. Turns out life isn't supposed to hurt! Blake also offered payment plans and is so flexible. He's a personable and caring individual and I cannot recommend him enough! If you're questioning it, just try one consult with him. You won't be sorry.
Blake is great to work with! He listens, makes an assessment, and makes recommendations to match. If you are looking for a knowledgeable Chiropractor - this is the place for you!
Did not receive any pressure to get an x-ray as every other chiropractor I have visited has done. I really appreciated this. Also, Blake is more concerned with overall health than in & out volume, so you get a much better quality of care here.
I never went to a chiropractor until Dr. Blake, I didn't really know how chiropractor's help people, this was new to me. However, I had back pain that I dealt with for years, Dr. Blake was the only one to help through multiple medical processes, no one was able to get answers or solutions which is me biggest criticism of the medical world. Dr. Blake takes the time to listen to me, understand what I'm going through, and truly wants the best for myself and my loved ones, thank you so much Dr Blake ❤️ I love that I can keep playing hockey ☺️
Blake knows his craft well. Dealing with some upper back pain and a pinched nerve. Definitely noticed improvement from the first 2 visits. Will definitely continue working with him!
Blake is an absolute powerhouse when it comes to his profession! His fervor and expansive knowledge in his field are nothing short of awe-inspiring. Blake doesn’t just focus on crafting a bespoke plan tailored precisely to your individual needs; he goes above and beyond, taking the time to educate you on transformative daily habits and stretches designed to revolutionize your posture and supercharge your overall health. What sets Blake apart is his unwavering commitment to guiding his clients back to their absolute best selves, rather than merely offering a fleeting fix for present symptoms. Choosing Blake means choosing a partner in your health journey who is as invested in your wellbeing as you are—truly a game-changer!
Chronic neck and back pain since I was a kid is finally subsiding thanks to Dr. Blake! After reviewing my X-rays with me, we were able to make a plan and I started feeling better after just one session. I could not be more grateful for his expertise!
I have been seeing Dr Blake for long standing back pain and issues with both arms itching. He is so talented and educated me on valuable life changes. We are so fortunate to have him here in Eden Prairie
I leave every time feeling better than I came in!<br>Blake also does a great job of communicating the process and expectations. I recommend you giving it a shot!
Dr. DeJong, has always been personable and thorough when I see him. He not only provides you with adjustments but also aftercare exercises and stretches that continue to help promote treatment goals. He’s always willing to answer any question you may have.
I've been going to Dr. Blake for about a month now. During my initial consult he performed a detailed exam including x-rays as well as a discussion of my current condition and problem areas. He provided an initial adjustment and we scheduled a follow up appointment to discuss a treatment plan. My lower back, which has been a lifelong problem area for me, felt better that same day. As I continue to visit Dr. Blake my other, more complex symptoms are showing steady improvement. I would recommend any one searching for a chiropractor to see Dr. Blake.<br><br>As a bonus, he uses a scheduling system that is very easy to use. Easily make or change appointments at your convenience online. I wish all medical appointment scheduling could be as easy!
I brought my daughter here for a new patient exam and adjustment and we had a great experience and will be returning and bringing our other family members!!!
Excellent chiropractor!!! Very knowledgeable and easy to schedule appointments. He is very thorough in explaining treatment recommendations. Would definitely recommend Dr. DeJong!
Excellent experience - Dr. DeJong listens well, is very thorough, and targets problem areas with his treatment. He takes time to understand every client's issues, and explains why he is doing what he is doing at any given time. I have been very satisfied, and I'm definitely feeling better since I started this Spring. I highly recommend Elite Spine Chiropractic!
I brought my toddler in for an adjustment to help with some digestive issues. Dr. Blake was extremely kind and patient with her, and did everything he could to make her comfortable. Within 24 hours, her symptoms improved and I had a much happier little girl!<br>I have also visited Dr. Blake several times for prenatal adjustments, and always feel relief afterwards. He is very knowledgable and has great suggestions and ideas for overall health and wellness. We will be continuing to visit Elite Spine for our chiropractic needs!
My past experiences with chiropractors was not ideal. Dr. Blake took his time to listen to my concerns. He explained my X-ray results in detail and created a plan just for me. He walked me through the adjustment process and I felt very much at ease. I can say I feel better after my adjustments and trust Dr. Blake completely.I am so glad that I went.
Hello,<br>My experience as an Elite Chiropractic patient has been exceptional. I arrived May 2022 with limited mobility due to severe lower back & sciatic leg pain. After a handful of treatments, June 2022 I was back to my normal indoor/outdoor activities.<br><br>Dr Blake is focused on a personalized approach to recovery & maintaining a healthy life. I look forward to an on-going monthly health maintenance plan.<br><br>Having established the practice in his hometown, it’s apparent Dr Blake is giving back & making a difference in the communities he serves.
Dr. Blake is considerate and really shows compassion for his patients. Combined with his knowledge, he will put the right plan together for you. Highly recommend!
Dr. Blake is very knowledgeable and gentle with his treatment and he caters his plans to fit your needs. It was a great experience. The roller table is awesome and I really appreciate his treatment for preventative health
I have been seeing Dr. Blake for about 3 weeks and we are making great progress on my on-going low back issues. I have been a fan of Chiropractic care for years and feel fortunate that the plan prescribed is working, thanks again Dr. Blake!
I've had bad experience with Chiros in the past (Health Source, in particular) but was referred to Dr. Blake from my local gym to help with some aching neck pain.<br><br>I went in for an eval expecting to see a laundry list of issues only to be pleasantly surprised that Dr. Blake highlighted only the pressing issues with my neck pain. Mentioning Health Source again, I recalled all the 'troubled areas' they wanted to work on only for Dr. Blake to explain to me, in detail, what was and wasn't a contributing to the discomfort in my neck. I was impressed with his honesty and decided to try out a session (and later that week) signed up for a Care Plan.<br><br>I highly recommend Dr. Blake.
You can clearly tell that Dr. Blake is passionate about his career in chiropractic and has a strong desire to ensure a greater quality life in his patients. I always look forward to my visits and improving my physical wellness. I highly recommend receiving chiropractic care through him!
Dr. Blake is very knowledgeable and helpful! I have been dealing with lower back pain when standing and its been interfering with work/and daily activities. Dr. Blake was not only able to help alleviate my pain, he gave me stretches to do on my own to help. I can't wait to get back into his office. Highly recommend!
