Chiropractic Physician | Functional Medicine Practitioner | Pediatric & Family Wellness Expert
Dr. Lori Jokinen is a highly trained Doctor of Chiropractic, Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, and natural health expert dedicated to helping individuals and families achieve optimal, long-term wellness. She earned her Doctor of Chiropractic degree cum laude from Northwestern Health Sciences University and holds advanced certifications from the Academy Council of Chiropractic Pediatrics, the American Clinical Board of Nutrition, and in acupuncture and the Graston Technique. Dr. Lori completed her undergraduate studies at the University of Minnesota, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology.
Dr. Lori’s approach to functional medicine and holistic healthcare is deeply personal. After struggling for over a year with her infant son’s chronic illnesses—including recurring ear infections, RSV, asthma-like symptoms, and frequent antibiotic use—she discovered a natural, root-cause approach that changed everything. Through chiropractic care, targeted nutrition, supplementation, and natural therapies, her son’s health dramatically improved. Pediatrician visits stopped, medications were no longer needed, and he grew into a healthy, thriving child—without surgery, asthma, or ongoing medical intervention. This life-changing experience inspired Dr. Lori to shift her career path from nursing to chiropractic medicine, with a mission to educate and empower families to take control of their health naturally. Today, that same mission drives her passion for helping patients of all ages heal, thrive, and prevent chronic disease.
She specializes in functional medicine, clinical nutrition, pediatric chiropractic care, sports rehabilitation, acupuncture, and auto accident injury recovery. She commonly treats conditions such as thyroid and autoimmune disorders, digestive issues, weight management challenges, pregnancy-related conditions, and chronic childhood illnesses, including ear infections, asthma, colds, colic, sleep disorders, and digestive concerns in infants and children.
Athletes and active individuals benefit from Dr. Lori’s expertise in injury recovery, performance optimization, Graston Technique, and dry needling, helping them heal faster and reach peak performance safely and naturally.
Dr. Lori’s true passion lies in family-centered chiropractic care—helping entire families build lasting health through spinal care, personalized nutrition plans, high-quality supplementation, lifestyle education, and advanced functional diagnostic testing when appropriate. Her comprehensive, natural approach focuses on identifying and correcting the root cause of health issues—not just managing symptoms—so patients can live healthier, more vibrant lives.
