Network ChiropractorHelping you channel your full potential
Hi, I’m Dr Luke! My passion is to assist others to live a more passionate, fulfilled, and creative life. I love those “ah ha” moments when once what was stuck, not working, and painful, suddenly changes and opens the door for a new powerful life experience. I am excited to work with you!
My Story
I have always had a calling and a passion for helping others. I consider myself a teacher. After a career as a school principal for 25 years in various schools across the country, I embarked upon a new career as a doctor of chiropractic, another dream of mine since high school. While I loved my career in education, working with hundreds of children and families, I could no longer resist the calling of the healing arts. The time was right for a new path. I graduated from Sherman Chiropractic College, excited to share my gifts and passions with others in a new arena. Of all the places in the world I could live and establish a practice, my wife and I fell in love with Ashland and southern Oregon. We got here as fast as we could!
While a chiropractic student, I was introduced to Network Spinal Analysis (NSA), or more commonly called Network Spinal (NS), which is a revolutionary chiropractic technique for liberating stored stress energy from the body. I experienced profound changes in my own nervous system, peeling away layers of harmful, accumulated stress energy. Not only did it transform my own life, but I also noticed significant changes in the lives of my family members. I experienced more ease in my life, more available energy to pursue the good things in life, and better adaptability to the stressors of everyday living. In short, I believe that it allowed me to connect deeper with my own true self, and to connect more fully with the power of the universe. Now I have to share this with others!
My Values & Beliefs
Your Body Knows How to Heal Itself
When an injury occurs, the body sets to repair itself. The immune system activates inflammation and a cascade of healing begins. It is important to trust the body, and to follow its lead.
Sometimes You Need Some Help
Light cues applied in specific places along the spine can assist the mind-body connection, allowing for for changes to occur. I’ve got your back!
Breath is Really Powerful
Releasing bound energy is so liberating. It frees up our connection with best self, makes us lighter, and gives us more energy for healing and for life. Utilizing the power of breath is a powerful tool.
Tail of the Sun
We live in the age of Energy. We must choose what sources of energy we need to power our vehicles, our homes, our cities, and even our individual lives. Self-care includes the proper management of our own personal energy state. We must employ strategies, tools, and practices that keep us at an energy-rich energy state so that we can maximize our performance, moment by moment.
Network Spinal is a powerful chiropractic technique. As a practitioner, this means taking a holistic look at the individual. Over time, trauma energy becomes a detriment to our health and well-being. We develop defense patterns, which often reduce our overall efficiency with the use of energy. My job is to evaluate the global defense pattern of the person, and then to bring awareness to it. Light touches in specific places along the spine induce greater mind-body connection, allowing for the release of bound energy. And just as the Sun is the source of energy and life on our planet, we can make changes to our nervous system that allow us to maximize our experiences in life.

For myself, I had a mystical experience while dealing with the pain of the past. I reached a new level while on a spiritual quest. Words cannot describe it. As part of this experience, The Tail of the Sun was a significant, emblematic component of my own transformation. The Tail of the Sun reminds me of valuable lessons of growth and healing that I incorporate into every transaction with my practice members. Life is good!
