Services
Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments restore spinal alignment to alleviate pain caused by nerve compression. Our practitioners use gentle, non-invasive techniques to correct misalignments, improving mobility and reducing inflammation. Patients benefit from long-term relief for conditions like back pain, neck pain, and headaches without relying on medication or surgery.
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy targets muscle tension and inflammation to enhance recovery. Our licensed therapists use personalized pressure techniques to increase circulation, reduce toxins, and promote relaxation. This service complements chiropractic care by preparing muscles for adjustments and accelerating healing for injuries or chronic pain.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression therapy relieves pressure on spinal discs to treat herniated discs and sciatica. This advanced technique uses motorized traction to stretch the spine, creating negative pressure that encourages disc retraction. Patients experience reduced nerve pain and improved spinal function through non-surgical, targeted treatment.
Sports Injury Rehab
Sports injury rehabilitation combines chiropractic care and corrective exercises to restore mobility after athletic trauma. We address soft tissue damage, joint pain, and muscle imbalances through tailored plans that integrate adjustments, physiotherapy, and home exercises. Our goal is to return athletes to peak performance safely and efficiently.
Pregnancy Chiropractic Care
Pregnancy chiropractic care addresses spinal stress and pelvic misalignment during pregnancy. Gentle adjustments alleviate back pain, improve posture, and support optimal fetal positioning. This service enhances maternal comfort and prepares the body for labor while maintaining a drug-free approach to wellness throughout pregnancy.

The environment in the clinic is always great from the time you walk in the door and I'm convinced that Dr Luke is a magician. I had never had regular chiropractic care until I started seeing him after having an ankle surgery and it made such a difference in my overall health that I'll continue to see him forever. The front desk staff is top notch and every part of the experience start to finish is always amazing. My whole family comes here and I recruit everyone I can to switch to Proctor Chiropractic.

I traveled to Washington to visit family. I was struggling with back pain and although I called a few offices. Proctor Chiropractic gave me an appointment. I met with doctor Luke and after a comprehensive review of my symptoms and mobility, he aligned my spine, and explained the reason for my back. He provided me with a plan to address the issues with my muscles. After the appointment I received plan and report.
I really appreciate the service and kindness from the office staff to the doctor. Thanks again to Dr. Luke and everyone in the office. Your service is much appreciated. When I return to town I will be stopping by.

Dr. George and his staff are amazing. My husband fractured two ribs about a month ago and then two weeks later, while changing our baby, threw his back out. He couldn't get out of bed or move easily. I called every walk-in clinic in town but the wait times were three plus hours sitting in the waiting room. I finally got smart and called these guys, as I've had wonderful chiropractic experience throughout my four pregnancies.
They were fully booked for the day, but upon explanation, they said to have him hobble in and they would absolutely get him in whenever he could walk in. We own our own restaurant and have four kids- so having my husband out of commission was a HUGE deal in my life. Within half an hour of seeing Dr George- and stretches and prods, my husband was able to return to work. He's been back twice and is, as far as I can tell, back to normal. He plans to keep going weekly to stay ahead of his back pain. I'm even considering going now based on this experience. Can't recommend these guys enough! Thank you!
