Meet Your Chiropractor
Dr. Luke Bergner, DC
In 2017, I was hit with a barrage of symptoms that turned my world upside down. I had severe joint pain, brain fog, and visual issues. I felt like I got hit by a truck from the moment I woke up to the moment I went to bed. It was exhausting and I felt like I may never get my health back. I was 25. Being active was always a big part of my life. I played football and basketball in high school and at this point in my life I still played a lot of basketball, as well as a lot of hiking and trail running. Lyme disease threatened all of that. I tried a lot of things and after some trial and error, I had established a large health team around me that included a chiropractor. I admired his integrity from the start. He made it clear that he had limitations in reference to the Lyme disease, but he was certain that he could help get my body moving again and help me with the joint pain. His confidence and knowledge combined to be exactly what I needed and soon enough I was back to doing things I loved again and I am forever grateful for it.
After my experience, I knew I wanted to pursue a career in healthcare. I was a proposal manager for a large engineering firm at the time but I knew what I wanted to do. I knew I wanted to do something that could help people recognize how strong and resilient their bodies were. I knew I wanted to do something that was 1-on-1 so that I could meet that person where they were at. Whether that’s autoimmune related or just a simple muscle strain, I knew what it was like to not be able to do the things that you love because you feel like your body won’t let you. I know how much life is found in the active things. Golfing, pickleball, running at sunset, playing catch with your kid…I know how much joy those things give. To have them taken away, even for a moment, is frustrating and exhausting. So I made it my job to learn as much as I could about how to help the human body heal. And here I am today. I run a clinic that combines the best of chiropractic, soft tissue, and rehabilitation, so that you can do the things that you love again, because I know what it’s like not to.

"Luke has a great demeanor and extensive knowledge of treatment options...
"I came to Luke after experiencing some spasms in my lower back that caused intense pain and almost zero range of motion. I had experienced pain in this area for a long time but the symptoms had gotten to the point that I was no longer able to regularly function throughout the day. I felt like he cared about me and wanted to do whatever it took to get to the root of the problem. I am now pain-free and experience zero spasms or difficulty moving. I am so grateful for the care Luke provided!"
