HOW IT WORKS
What Working With Us Looks Like
No mystery treatment plans, no open-ended schedules, no coming back forever. Here's every step from your first phone call to the day you don't need us anymore.
Most offices vs. here
TRADITIONAL CLINICS
We figure out what’s holding you back — then build you back stronger
Two people can walk in with the exact same diagnosis and need completely different plans.
Your history matters. What you’ve already tried matters. Your strength, mobility, training, work, recovery, goals, and even what you’re afraid to do because of your pain can all change how we approach it.
That’s why we don’t start with a predetermined treatment plan. We start by understanding you, testing what matters, and figuring out what we can actually change.
Then we build from there.
No two plans are the same
Your diagnosis doesn’t dictate your plan. Your evaluation helps us determine what you need most — whether that’s hands-on care, mobility work, strength training, graded exposure, changes to your training, or some combination of them. And as you improve, the plan changes with you.
We don’t just chase where it hurts
Pain tells us something is wrong, but it doesn’t always tell us the whole story. We look at the painful area, how it functions, what makes it better or worse, and the demands you’re asking your body to tolerate. The goal isn’t to hunt for one hidden dysfunction — it’s to identify the factors we can actually work on.
Feeling better matters. Being capable matters more
Reducing pain is important. But we don’t want to stop there. We progressively rebuild the strength, movement, and confidence you need to get back to lifting, running, golfing, playing with your kids, or whatever matters to you — without constantly wondering whether your body can handle it.
The goal is independence
We don’t want you dependent on adjustments, treatments, or a standing appointment forever. Our goal is for you to understand your body, know what to do when something flares up, and leave stronger and more confident than when you started.
Your first call to your last visit
Free consultation
A short call about what hurts, how long it's been going on, and what you've already tried. Free, no obligation. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you and point you somewhere better.
What you leave with: an honest answer on whether we can help.
Comprehensive evaluation
Full history plus movement, orthopedic and strength testing — because where it hurts is rarely where the problem started. You get the findings and your first treatment on the same visit.
What you leave with: a diagnosis, a plan, and treatment the same day.
A plan you can actually follow
Hands-on care to get you moving now, progressive loading so it holds. Built around your sport, your job and the hours you actually have — not a generic protocol.
What you leave with: exercises that fit your week, not someone else's.
Coaching between visits
Recovery doesn't only happen in the office. Every exercise comes with video in a private coaching app, and we adjust it as your symptoms and schedule change. Message us when you're stuck.
What you leave with: no guessing between appointments.
Build strength so it stays fixed
Most care stops when the pain does. We keep going until the area is stronger than it was before, so the same flare-up doesn't show up again next season.
What you leave with: a body that holds up without us.
Don't Just Take Our Word For It.

Dr. Luke Bergner is a fantastic coach and guide. I can’t say enough good things about his approach. He truly listens, educates, and tailors his input and exercises to meet me where I am, while encouraging me to challenge myself. He builds confidence and strength! He’s thoughtful, flexible, encouraging, and thorough. I have autoimmune symptoms that were causing pain and limiting my lifestyle. Dr. Luke asked questions, learned, and provided me with options so that I could adapt to my symptoms day by day and still move forward. I’m grateful and glad that I went to see Dr. Luke!

I am very pleased with the results I got from my experience working with Dr. Luke on some back/hip issues. I was leery with his different approach to address my discomfort but his treatment really does seek to rebuild you and give you a long-term fix. He is extremely flexible and worked around some crazy travel plans I had during our time together to make sure I still got the results I wanted. I cannot recommend enough at least taking a phone call with him to discuss any long-term, lingering pain issues you might have to see if you'd be a good fit for one of his programs.

I went to see Dr. Luke at the recommendation of my sister to see about some SI Joint pain that was limiting my strength and mobility. This was about two weeks from a CrossFit competition, and I didn’t know if I was going to be able to compete as well as I knew I could. Within those two weeks, Dr. Luke worked with me to regain my strength and mobility so that I was able to compete and compete well. I would recommend him to anyone not only because of his expertise, but also his determination to keep people moving and to keep them doing what it is they enjoying doing.

We're with you outside the office too
Here's the honest part: this only works if you keep doing the work between appointments. So we don't hand you a paper printout and hope. Your plan lives in a private coaching app with video for every exercise, so you always know exactly what to do and how it should feel.
We can see what you're completing, adjust the plan as your symptoms and schedule change, and you can message us the second something feels off. That's the accountability that turns a few good weeks into a permanent fix.

Plan on about 60 minutes. We’ll take the time to understand your history, what you’ve tried before, what’s keeping you from doing what you want to do, and how your body actually responds to movement and load. From there, we’ll identify what matters most, clarify your biggest opportunities for success, and build a clear plan forward - all in the same visit. No cookie-cutter exam. No wondering what just happened after your visit - you'll leave with 100% certainty on next best steps.
The number of visits depends on your goals, your starting point, and how much support you need along the way. After your evaluation, we’ll recommend a clear plan so you know what to expect from the beginning.
Our care isn’t built around seeing you multiple times a week for months on end. Most of the work happens between visits through a structured plan designed to help you build strength, capacity, and confidence - with in-person sessions used strategically to assess progress, adjust the plan, and keep you moving forward.
No. Kansas is a direct access state, so you can book a chiropractic evaluation without a physician referral. If we think you need imaging or another provider, we'll help you get there.
Almost never. We modify what you're doing rather than shutting it down, so you keep training while the tissue recovers.
We'll say so at the consultation and refer you to the right provider. That's the whole point of a free consult before you commit to anything.
