Minnesota Pain Relief and Wellness Institute

I was recommend to Dr. Nick by a Case Manager i work with, when she saw me in pain with my shoulder. I came in and Dr. Nick saw the agonizing pain i was going through. He has really relieved me of my shoulder & knee pain. I used to have sleepless nights of tossing & turning trying to get a good position to sleep. Thank you Dr. Nick for the patience & empathy you show in your care with patients. Michelle. S

I was a lifelong skeptic of chiropractors until almost 40. It took my wife, who has trusted Dr. Nick for years and even followed him between practices to convince me to go once. After my first visit, I immediately understood how legitimate, science-backed, and effective chiropractic care is when it’s done right.

I have a physically demanding job, and military history and the relief, improved posture, and overall mobility has been a game-changer. I genuinely look forward to appointments now and we commute an hour to see Nick because he is just that good at what he does.

Dr. Nick’s care is intentional, personalized, and never rushed and the personal touches (including Bella, his sweet pup) make the experience even better. If you’re on the fence like I was, just book the appointment. You’ll get it too

I would highly recommend the chiropractic and massage services offered here to anyone. They are very knowledgeable, friendly, and communicative. They’ve helped me recover from chronic pain after a surgery and a car accident and have greatly improved my quality of life.

Dr Nick is absolutely the BEST! He listens and always checks for movement before adjustment.

I have just switched here after going to the chiropractor for 5 years somewhere else and I feel better faster in one day here than in a month there. Everyone is extremely kind and I highly recommend this especially if you're looking for a cost-friendly option! -Luna

I have been a client @ Mn Pain Relief for at least 5 years, while my kids have been coming for at least 3 years. I am so thankful to have Dr Nick, Britty, & Betty working as a team to support our families health and well-being. Dr Nick is a brilliant chiropractor. He knows how to support and solve pain in various parts of my body, including muscle pulls and shoulder pain. My body is so much healthier because of the support from Dr Nick & Team.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Nick for several years—even followed him through different practices—and I currently commute over an hour just to keep him as my chiropractor. He truly sets himself aside from the “crack and go” chiropractic care many experience.

His experience and deep knowledge, especially with injuries and common issues like back pain, tension, and migraines, set him apart. He doesn’t just treat symptoms—he finds real solutions. Every session feels intentional and personalized, not rushed or routine.

Dr. Nick has genuinely changed my life. I feel stronger, more aligned, and healthier overall. He even converted my boyfriend, who was a chiropractic skeptic for years, into a full believer after just a few visits.

If you’re looking for someone who truly knows what they’re doing and cares about your long-term wellness, Dr. Nick is the one. Five stars isn’t enough and I can’t say enough amazing things about him and his practice. If your skeptical like my boyfriend was, make the appointment!

Dr. Nick is excellent at what he does, which is helping patients with pain relief and overall increased wellness. It's clear he is passionate about his work, cares deeply about his patients, and has extensive knowledge of not only the muscular-skeletal and nervous systems, but of body systems and wellness in a larger sense.

After seeing Dr. Nick, I've experienced great relief from both chronic and acute symptoms. Amazingly, he has helped me ease symptoms that an Orthopedic Dr. and a Neurologist weren't able to address. Furthermore, he's constantly sharing useful information and tips that has empowered me to take action on my own, leading greater pain relief. The staff at Pain Relief and Wellness are friendly and you will receive excellent care -- I highly recommend it!

I would give more than 5 stars if it was an option! I’ve been seeing Dr. Ribar for about 6 years, and his adjustments are truly incredible. He has helped me navigate and recover from several painful periods in my life including recovery from major leg surgery and 2 herniated cervical discs. What I appreciate most is that he always listens carefully to what’s going on and tailors each adjustment to my specific needs.
Dr. Ribar is passionate about his work, takes time to explain everything clearly, and truly cares about his patients. I always leave his office feeling like the world is brighter—literally. After 25 years of back issues, I can honestly say I’d follow Dr. Ribar to any practice to continue receiving his care. He works tirelessly to ensure his clients feel better, and it shows. I’m grateful to have found such a dedicated and knowledgeable chiropractor!
