Meet Dr. Alan Ludwig
Decades of Gentle, Precise Chiropractic Care
Dr. Alan Ludwig brings over four decades of chiropractic experience to Bonney Lake, combining traditional nervous system principles with a uniquely precise approach. His path into chiropractic began when family members encouraged him to explore the profession, after serving in the ArmyAfter completing his chiropractic degree in the late 1970s, Dr. Ludwig opened his first practice in Bonney Lake, with the help of his wife Jackey ,in the early 1980s. He has been fortunate enough to touch the lives of thousands of patients over the years.
Two of those individuals were so moved and impressed with chiropractic that they both went off to become chiropractors themselves.
- Dr. McCann
“I first met Dr. Ludwig as a young man struggling with unresolved chronic pain. After my initial adjustment, I experienced significant relief, which not only improved my quality of life but also sparked my interest in pursuing a career in chiropractic. Thank you for the care and guidance you have provided over the years. Your dedication to your patients had a profound impact on me and ultimately set me on the path toward a deeply rewarding profession.”
- Dr. Avise
Dr. Ludwig uses the Activator Method exclusively, following its complete protocol. Unlike offices where the “clicker” is used randomly, his approach uses systematic leg-length testing and specific reflex checks, letting your own nervous system reveal exactly where adjustments are needed. The Activator is a handheld tool that delivers gentle, controlled impulses to targeted joints, providing accurate corrections without twisting or cracking. He and his wife are longtime members of the Bonney Lake community and enjoy spending time with their children and grandchildren.
How Your Body Guides Every Adjustment
Dr. Ludwig likes to use a simple analogy: imagine a cell phone’s signal. Your brain is always putting out 100% signal, similar to the cell tower, but at times we get in an area where we can’t communicate. The cell tower (your brain) is still putting out 100% but your cell phone (your body) just isn’t receiving the information completely. So if you brain and body can’t communicate properly problems develop. His job is to restore this brain-body communication so your nervous system can function at its best.
Using special shoes and precise testing, he watches how leg lengths change when you move or touch certain areas. This technique often uncovers issues you may not even be aware of—a misaligned knee, subtle jaw problems, or a neck restriction you’d stopped noticing.
Whole-Body, Nervous System-Focused Care
While many visit Ludwig Chiropractic for neck or back concerns, Dr. Ludwig’s care goes further. He adjusts for headaches, migraines, sinus issues, TMJ discomfort, and provides gentle care for expecting mothers, athletes, and children—with a strong focus on prevention and wellness.
A Practice Built on Trust
Dr. Ludwig’s humor and welcoming environment put patients at ease. He listens, checks your entire body, and explains his findings at each visit. Many come in monthly for wellness care, valuing the lasting improvements and personal attention he provides.
