Sports Medicine & Performance

Sports injuries often stem from either trauma or repetitive movement. Chiropractic adjustment helps restore proper alignment, improving both skeletal and muscular function. Dr. Luke, who holds a Master’s in Sports Science & Rehabilitation alongside his Doctorate of Chiropractic, blends personal athletic experience with advanced clinical care.

Our team also includes Michael Johnson, Exercise Physiologist with a Master’s in Exercise Physiology. A former collegiate runner and current cross country and track coach at Des Moines Christian, Michael has coached athletes at every NCAA level, including Division I All-Americans.

Together, Dr. Luke, Michael, and the Ballenger Chiropractic team combine chiropractic care, movement-based rehab, and performance training to help athletes recover, perform better, and stay healthy long-term.
