Meet Dr. Lori Johnson
As a teenager, Dr. Lori was injured in a motor vehicle collision, and chiropractic care helped her considerably. She had known from a young age that she wanted to work in the healthcare field, helping people. “I love helping moms and dads to be able to play with their kids, and I also love to help restore athletes’ ability to function at their highest physical level.”

Dr. Lori earned her bachelor’s from the University of Washington and her Doctor of Chiropractic from the University Of Western States Chiropractic College in 1984.
She is Advanced Proficiency Rated in the Activator Methods® chiropractic technique.
In practice for 40 years, Dr. Lori has experience caring for people of all ages, from babies to seniors. She specializes in treating and helping restore function to people who have been injured in auto accidents.

Professional Development
As a chiropractor, Dr. Lori is required to take 25 to 30 hours of continuing education every year. She takes 12 hours yearly in the Activator Methods chiropractic technique. She has had the pleasure of attending continuing education classes with Dr. Heidi Haavik, who is the vice president of research and dean of research at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic.
Dr. Haavik is a chiropractor with a PhD in Human Neurophysiology from the University of Auckland. She is the author of the best-selling book The Reality Check: A Quest to Understand Chiropractic from the Inside Out. “This book describes in easy-to-understand language what happens in the brain when a chiropractor adjusts the spine.”
Helping Patients Get Back to What They Love
Life Outside the Practice
When she’s not at the practice, Dr. Lori enjoys spending time with family and her two Cairn Terriers, Pippin and Rosie. She also likes camping, riding electric bikes, and going to the beach.
Fun fact: Dr. Lori collects and uses tropical restaurant ware from the 1950s as her everyday dishes. She also loves church and Byzantine iconography.
In addition to being a chiropractor, Dr. Lori is also passionate about health coaching, focusing on nutrition and intermittent fasting. She finds inspiration in the work of Dr. Mindy Pelz, particularly her book Fast Like a Girl, which is a current favorite.
