Chiropractic Physician & Owner
Meet Dr. Steve Van Laecken DC
The doctor behind SpinalWorks Chiropractic in Moon Valley, North Phoenix: a Parker University honors graduate who believes healing through touch begins with listening.
His Story
A calling that began with one adjustment
Born and raised in Minnesota, Dr. Steve DC was inspired to pursue chiropractic after receiving life-changing chiropractic treatment in 1988. That single experience sparked a lifelong passion for helping others heal naturally.
He went on to attend Parker Chiropractic College in Dallas, Texas (now Parker University), where he graduated with honors in December 2005, earning his Doctorate of Chiropractic alongside a Bachelor of Science in Anatomy, and becoming certified in several adjusting techniques.
Today, Dr. Steve DC is a proud father to a beautiful blended family of seven daughters. He believes so deeply in the power of chiropractic care that he regularly adjusts his entire family, and receives adjustments himself multiple times a week to maintain his own health.
