Active Release Technique (ART) is a patented, state of the art soft tissue system/movement based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with Active Release Technique. These conditions all have one important thing in common: they are often a result of overused muscles.
Spinal adjustments are a manual therapy technique involving high-velocity, low-amplitude thrusts to the spine and other joints to relieve pressure and pain and help restore mobility. Spinal adjustments can reduce pain, improve joint mobility, and can be a treatment for headaches and other spine-related conditions, such as neck or low back pain. When your neck and back joints start moving better imbalances are corrected and pain is modulated.
Delaying proper evaluation and treatment virtually guarantees developing early onset of degenerating discs and joints. Degenerating discs and joints is one of the leading causes of back and neck pain, many cases of which report chronic pain following a sport or vehicle related accident. 90% of late whiplash patients still responded favorably to chiropractic care. Any patient with a history of contact sports or motor vehicle related whiplash should receive an evaluation for progressive spinal disorders related to an event resulting in whiplash.Our approach works to heal damaged ligaments of the neck and spine without surgery.
We provide advanced spinal correction and chiropractic adjustments utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic techniques. Chiropractic care at Luce Chiropractic & Sports Care, is a natural way to treat acute and chronic pain without exposure to the adverse effects of medication or invasive treatment methods. It also proves to be an effective way to treat accidents or sports injuries as well as maintain spine health.
Dry Needling is a general term for a therapeutic treatment procedure that involves multiple advances of a filament needle into the muscle in the area of the body which produces pain and typically contains a trigger point. There is no injectable solution and typically the needle that is used is very thin. Most patients will not even feel the needle penetrate the skin, but once it advances into the muscle, the discomfort can vary from patient to patient.

K-Laser Therapy is proven to biostimulate tissue repair and growth. The Laser accelerates wound healing and decreases inflammation, pain, and scar tissue formation. In the management of chronic pain Class IV Laser Therapy can provide dramatic results, is non-addictive and virtually free of side effects. During each painless treatment laser energy increases circulation, drawing water, oxygen, and nutrients to the damaged area. This creates an optimal healing environment that reduces inflammation, swelling, muscle spasms, stiffness, and pain. As the injured area returns to normal, function is restored and pain is relieved.
Massage therapy addresses a variety of health conditions, the most prevalent being stress-related tension, which, experts believe, accounts for 80% of disease. Massage has been proven beneficial in treating cancer-related fatigue, sleep disorders, high blood pressure, diabetes, low back pain, immunity suppression, spinal cord injury, post-operative surgery, age-related disorders, and depression, to name just a few. Massage increases circulation to all areas of the body which means that more oxygen goes to the tissues, enabling them to function more efficiently, removes toxins and waste products that build up in the tissues, reduces recovery time from certain injuries, prevents muscle strains and aches, increases flexibility and joint mobility, and the softening of the connective tissues that permeates the body results in more relaxed muscles and creates more efficient organ function.

We treat back and neck pain, sports injuries, auto accident injuries, whiplash, headaches, rotator cuff injuries, IT band syndrome, plantar fasciitis, and most other musculoskeletal conditions. Dr. Luce works with both fresh injuries and pain you've been carrying for years — if you're not sure your issue fits, just ask. Someone here can tell you in one phone call.
No referral needed. Chiropractors are primary healthcare providers, so you can book directly with our South Jordan office. If your care ever needs to involve your physician or a specialist, we'll coordinate with them — you won't have to play messenger between offices.
Visits are by appointment, which is exactly why patients choose us over walk-in chains: you get a scheduled block of the doctor's full attention, not whoever happens to be free. Booking online takes about a minute, and auto accident cases receive a free consultation.
Plan on 45–60 minutes for your first visit — that covers your history, a real examination, and treatment on the same day. Follow-ups run 15–30 minutes depending on what your plan includes. We keep the schedule honest, so you're not sitting in a waiting room burning your lunch break.
Yes — we see patients of all ages, from kids in youth sports to grandparents who want to stay active. Families around South Jordan often book back-to-back visits so everyone's seen in one trip. Care is always adjusted to the patient's age, size, and comfort level.
Same doctor, every visit, since 2009. Dr. Luce builds long-term correction plans instead of one-size-fits-all adjustments, and he pairs chiropractic with sports-care techniques — Active Release Technique, dry needling, K-Laser — that most chains simply don't offer. You're treated by the person who actually knows your history.
Adjustments are very safe when performed by a licensed chiropractor, and most patients find them comfortable, even relaxing. The popping sound is just gas releasing from the joint space — the same thing that happens when you crack your knuckles. Any mild soreness afterward typically fades within a day or two.
Dry needling targets specific muscle trigger points — the knots driving your pain — to restore normal muscle function, while acupuncture follows traditional meridian lines for energy flow. You may feel a brief twitch at the trigger point; most patients notice relief within one or two sessions.
K-Laser is an FDA-cleared Class IV laser that accelerates your body's own tissue repair at the cellular level. It's non-invasive, there's no downtime, and it penetrates deeper than lower-class lasers — a typical session takes just 5–10 minutes, often added right onto your regular visit.
Active Release Technique (ART) is a hands-on method that breaks up scar tissue and adhesions in muscles, tendons, and fascia — the stuff that keeps injuries lingering. It's trusted by professional sports teams across the NFL, NHL, and NBA, and Dr. Luce is among the few certified ART providers in Utah.
Yes — our massage services can be booked on their own, with eleven different modalities available. The difference from a spa: our therapists work under clinical supervision and treat specific conditions, not just tension. It's massage with a treatment goal, though it still feels every bit as good.
Many patients notice improvement within their first few visits. Recent injuries usually respond faster than problems you've had for years, so the honest answer depends on your condition. Dr. Luce maps out a realistic timeline at your first appointment — you'll know what to expect before you commit to anything.
Yes. Whiplash symptoms often don't appear until hours — or even weeks — after a collision, and an early evaluation is the best way to prevent a minor injury from becoming a chronic one. We offer free consultations for auto accident cases and handle the documentation your claim needs.
We accept most major insurance plans and work directly with your insurer to maximize your benefits. No insurance? We offer straightforward cash rates and payment plans. Call **(801) 254-1811** and we'll verify your specific coverage before your first visit, so there are no surprises at the front desk.
