“Simply put, I was a skeptic… “I grew up thinking medications were the only way to treat aches and pains… “My friends and family were unfamiliar with natural solutions to health problems… “I didn’t experience a miracle, but I’ve seen them… “I just wish I had known then what I know now…

“I always wanted to be in the health profession. I wanted to make a difference in people’s lives. After finding out about how chiropractic could help people through natural means I knew that it is what I wanted to do with my life. Ever since then, seeing how chiropractic can change people’s lives just reinforces my decision.”

Dr. Lonquist began his pre-chiropractic education at Simon Fraser University where he studied the basic sciences such as inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, biology, along with basic physiology and anatomy courses and received a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Kinesiology (The study of human movement and performance).

After completing his study there, he was accepted at Western States Chiropractic College in Portland, OR. During his four years at WSCC, courses included biochemistry, a major emphasis on anatomy and human physiology, X-ray, diagnosis, chiropractic adjusting techniques and patient care in the WSCC Public Clinic. After graduating in 1994 Dr. Lonquist practiced in his home town, Vancouver, BC., for 2 years before moving to Colorado.

“My practice objectives haven’t changed since day one. I keep up on the latest advancements in conservative chiropractic care and I only accept people into the practice that I honestly believe I can help.

“I make an effort to treat everyone like family and I listen to and respect what you have to say. It’s all about the relationships and partnerships that we forge. Together, we work on your health goals, whether its wellness oriented care or relief from an ache, pain or some symptom you’d rather live without. And, we achieve highly successful outcomes in most cases.

“After all these years, I’m still excited about the health benefits that chiropractic offers to everyone willing to give it a try and I’m convinced that getting to know us might be one of the best health care decisions you’ll ever make for yourself and family.

“I’ve taken hundreds of hours of post graduate education in radiology, spinal biomechanics, nutrition and exercise physiology. I’ve served on the examination board in B.C. and while in Colorado I completed a year long post graduate training program leading to a certification in chiropractic spinal trauma.

Dr. Lonquist is married to Tina who is a nurse, personal trainer, and fitness instructor. They have a beautiful, happy and healthy little girl named Tarina. During their free time they love to hike on the Monument, Mesa and San Juan Mountains.
