Meet Our Doctors
Dr. Amanda L. Lukes
Dr. Amanda grew up in Bemidji, MN and graduated from Bemidji High School where she played hockey and golf. She then attended Gustavus Adolphus College where she played golf and earned her bachelor’s degree in Health and Exercise Science. She then went on to earn her Doctorate of Chiropractic at Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington, MN.
Dr. Amanda is a third generation chiropractor, following in her dad and grandpa’s footsteps; both of whom graduated from Northwestern Health Sciences University as well. While looking to choose a career path, Dr. Amanda shadowed MD’s and OD’s thinking this was the field she possibly wanted to pursue. While shadowing, she realized her passion lied with a more hands on approach to finding and treating the root cause. She wanted her focus to be on helping the body to heal and give it the tools to restore and rebuild. While growing up she saw the positive results of chiropractic and nutrition first hand and she wanted to continue to educate and help others.
Dr. Amanda joined Chiropractic Professionals for her last internship of chiropractic school in January of 2013, and joined the practice after graduating in April of 2013. With her background in Health and Exercise Science and passion for nutrition, Dr. Amanda added a focus on wellness and treating the whole body not just the symptoms. She has worked extensively with not only the musculoskeletal system but with every body system, she has passion in finding and treating the root cause through chiropractic care, whole food nutritional supplements and essential oils.
Dr. Adam J. Lukes
Dr. Adam grew up in Watertown, MN, a town of about 4,000, 45 miles west of the Twin Cities. He graduated from Watertown-Mayer High School where he played football, basketball and ran track. He then attended Gustavus Adolphus College where he played football and earned his bachelor’s degree in Health and Exercise Science. He then went on to earn his Doctorate of Chiropractic at Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington, MN.
Dr. Adam attributes his decision to become a chiropractor to a couple of significant events in his life. During his senior year of high school he became sick with mononucleosis (mono) and lyme disease which caused debilitating headaches and low back pain. Chiropractic care was able to alleviate his pain and a few months later he went on to set school records in track. Two years later, while Dr. Adam was in college, he received a phone call from his brother saying that he and his mom had just been in a car accident. It was over the next few years of seeing his mom’s quality of life decline because of low back pain and migraines as a result of the car accident, that Dr. Adam discovered his deep passion to help people and redirected his career path towards chiropractic.
Dr. Adam joined Chiropractic Professionals for his last internship of chiropractic school in January of 2013, and joined the practice as a doctor after graduating in April of 2013. With his background in Health and Exercise Science and passion for sports, Dr. Adam added a focus on wellness and athletes to the clinic. Together with his wife Dr. Amanda Lukes, Dr. Adam formed Lukes Chiropractic & Wellness in 2017.
Dr. Adam and Dr. Amanda enjoy spending time with their twin daughters, Halle and Quinn. When not in the office their interests include traveling, gardening, fishing, and grouse & deer hunting.
