Dr. Ranae Beard grew up in South Dakota participating in 4-H activities, horseback riding, gymnastics and cheerleading. A pivotal moment came during high school when she injured her low back during gymnastics practice.
After her medical doctor prescribed muscle relaxers with no relief, her mother took her to a chiropractor who had her back to practice with no pain within two weeks! This transformative experience inspired her to pursue a chiropractic career herself.
Dr. Ranae attended the University of South Dakota for her prerequisites while being an active cheerleader for basketball and football teams and a member of the diving team. She graduated from Northwestern College of Chiropractic in 1999 with her Doctor of Chiropractic degree and Bachelor's Degree in Human Sciences.
Upon graduating, Dr. Ranae moved to Fort Collins and started her practice in February 2000. She constantly strives to improve her knowledge through post-graduate studies in headaches, low back pain, whiplash, pregnancy and pediatric care.
Dr. Ranae met her husband Randy in Fort Collins and they were married in 2002. They are blessed with two wonderful children, Mya and Riley.
She is an active member of the Colorado Chiropractic Association and the Junior League of Fort Collins. Dr. Ranae enjoys donating her time and services to local charities and at her children's schools, staying deeply connected to the Fort Collins community.
