Dr. Lance Leonard is the founder and lead chiropractor at Leonard Chiropractic in Naples, Florida. A dedicated practitioner with a passion for helping people live active, pain-free lives, Dr. Leonard brings a unique blend of personal experience, diverse background, and genuine care to every patient he treats.

Originally from Moorhead, Minnesota - a close-knit town on the western border of Minnesota right next to North Dakota - Dr. Leonard grew up immersed in hard working Midwest values and a love for sports. He played every position in baseball and served as a hockey goalie for his hometown team, a point of pride in Minnesota hockey culture. He collected over 50 wins, played in Hockey Day Minnesota, and competed in a state championship game, before advancing to junior hockey in Lincoln, Nebraska. These experiences instilled in him a deep appreciation for physical performance, commitment, resilience, and the impact of injuries on daily life.

As a young athlete, Dr. Leonard suffered a sports-related injury that made breathing extremely difficult and sidelined him from the activities he loved. After consulting numerous specialized medical doctors without resolution, it was a chiropractor who accurately diagnosed the issue and provided the targeted care needed to help his body heal back to its full function and get him back in the game. This transformative experience inspired Dr. Leonard to eventually pursue chiropractic as his career - to offer others the same life-changing relief he once received.

While in college working on his medical science degree, Dr. Leonard built a professional foundation working as a genetic analyst through the Covid-19 pandemic and his work has helped countless people around the world.

During his first years of Chiropractic College at Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington, Minnesota, he continued his professional development by working to help innovative medical doctors engineer, build, and then bring their medical device inventions to market.

Following his graduation and seeking warmer weather, friendly communities, and a lifestyle that feels like vacation every day, Dr. Leonard relocated to Naples, Florida, where he now enjoys the Sunshine State’s outdoor paradise. When not at the office, you might see him out golfing, fishing, grilling, boating, running, listening to live music, picking songs on his guitar, playing pickleball, lifting weights, or biking (especially to Seagate beach from the office on his old one speed bike). He’s also still a loyal Minnesota sports fan - sticking with the teams through every heartbreaking season.

At Leonard Chiropractic, Dr. Lance combines his personal journey, athletic background, and clinical expertise to deliver personalized, compassionate care. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or simply aiming to optimize your health and wellness, he treats every patient like family with the goal of helping you return to (and hopefully surpass) your full potential.

If you’re in Naples or Southwest Florida and ready for natural, effective chiropractic care from someone who truly understands what it’s like to overcome pain and get back in the game, Dr. Lance Leonard is here for you.
