Caring for Patients and Community
For Dr. Cody Leder and Cherie Leder, Stayton Chiropractic is about more than patient care. It is an opportunity to invest in the people, families, and organizations that make the Stayton area such a special place to call home.
Dr. Leder’s desire to help others began while studying Human Sciences at Brigham Young University-Idaho, where he discovered a passion for kinesiology and understanding how the body’s systems work together. After earning his Doctor of Chiropractic degree and another Bachelor’s degree in Human Anatomy from the University of Western States, he recognized a growing need for chiropractic services in Stayton and established Stayton Chiropractic in 2019.
Around the same time, Cody and Cherie moved their family to a farm outside Stayton. There, they are raising their six children and enjoying country life complete with cattle, pigs, and even producing their own hay. They also purchased their current clinic building, renovated the space together, and Cherie added the finishing touches that create the welcoming atmosphere patients enjoy today.
What truly solidified their decision to call Stayton home was the community itself. During the Santiam Canyon wildfires, they witnessed neighbors coming together to support one another through an incredibly difficult time. That spirit of unity confirmed they had found the right place to put down roots.
Giving back remains central to the Leder family’s mission. Dr. Leder volunteers as a seminary instructor for local high school students, while Cherie supports local schools and Parent Teacher Clubs. They also support numerous community events and organizations, including the Santiam Canyon River Run, the Teen Center’s annual golf tournament, and other local fundraising efforts.
The Leders are especially passionate about Toys for Tots. Each year, Stayton Chiropractic serves as a toy collection site and hosts a raffle fundraiser, helping raise awareness and donations while bringing holiday cheer to local children and families in need.
Dr. Leder’s commitment to health and wellness extends beyond the clinic. He captains a Dragon Boat team that has won its division for the past three years and regularly competes in Spartan races, reflecting the active lifestyle he encourages in his patients every day.
Today, Stayton Chiropractic continues to grow alongside the community it serves. The practice now includes Dr. Jeffers, two massage therapists, and a dedicated support team serving more than 6,300 patients throughout the region.
Whether caring for patients, supporting local schools, collecting toys for children, or sponsoring community events, Cody and Cherie Leder exemplify what it means to give back. Their investment in the health and well-being of the Santiam Canyon region continues to make a lasting impact on the community they proudly call home.
