Meet Dr. Luke Krebs
Dr. Luke Krebs serves patients at our Santa Ana clinic. He earned his Doctor of Chiropractic from Southern California University of Health Sciences after a B.S. in Biology from Virginia Commonwealth University, and he is a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician (CCSP).
His background in clinical research shows in how he works. Treatment choices are grounded in evidence-based care, explained in plain language and adjusted to how you actually respond. His focus areas include sports injury rehabilitation, soft tissue therapy, shockwave and cold laser therapy, and pain management. You can read more about our approach to evidence-based chiropractic care or meet the rest of our chiropractors.
Active rehab, not just a quick adjustment
The Santa Ana clinic is set up for active care. Alongside the adjustment table, there's rehab equipment and a cable station where your chiropractor can coach you through strength and stability exercises, rep by rep.
That matters because relief and recovery aren't the same thing. Adjustments and soft tissue work can calm pain and restore motion. Guided exercise is what helps an injured area handle load again — whether that's a heavy lift at the gym, a full day on your feet or a long Saturday on the soccer field.

How sports injury care usually progresses
Every injury is different, but most plans here move through the same broad stages:
- Settle the pain. Adjustments, soft tissue therapy and activity changes that let irritated tissue calm down.
- Restore movement. Mobility work for the joints and muscles that have stiffened up around the injury.
- Rebuild strength. Progressive exercise on the cable station and with simple equipment you can use at home.
- Return to what you love. Sport- or job-specific drills, plus a plan to lower the chance of the same problem coming back.
How fast you move through those stages depends on the injury, how long you've had it and how your body responds. Your chiropractor will re-check your progress and adjust the plan as you go.
What we treat in Santa Ana
- Sports and overuse injuries — strains, sprains and tendon problems, from a pulled hamstring strain to tennis elbow; see our sports injury treatment page for more
- Neck pain from desk work, phone use or sleeping awkwardly
- Lower back pain after a tough workout, a long commute or a physically demanding job
- Car accident injuries such as whiplash and back strain — learn how our car accident chiropractor care works
Every plan starts with a full exam. If the results suggest a fracture, a nerve problem or anything else that belongs with a physician, we'll tell you directly and point you in the right direction. Go straight to emergency care for any head injury, loss of bladder or bowel control, or rapidly worsening weakness.
Getting to the clinic
You'll find us at 800 N Tustin Ave, Suite I, on N Tustin Ave near the spot where Santa Ana, Tustin and Orange meet. When you arrive, head for Suite I. The map on this page gives turn-by-turn directions from home or work.
Neighborhoods we serve
As the county seat, Santa Ana sits at the center of Orange County, and our border location makes the clinic convenient for more than one city. We serve patients from Tustin, North Tustin and Orange, as well as Irvine, Garden Grove and Fountain Valley. If you live closer to the coast, our Huntington Beach chiropractor clinic is the nearest alternative.
Out in the Santa Ana community
You may have already met our Santa Ana team at a local event. They've hosted community health booths and set up event tents offering free chair massage — an easy, no-pressure way to ask a chiropractor about a nagging ache before you decide on a visit.
Your first visit
The $75 new patient visit covers full orthopedic and neurological exams, a pain assessment and a spinal analysis, plus a spinal adjustment when it's appropriate. For sports injuries, expect your chiropractor to test strength and movement as well as the painful spot itself, so the plan targets the cause rather than just the symptom.
Most insurance plans are welcome here, with most PPOs and attorney liens accepted. If your plan has little or no chiropractic coverage, ask about flexible payment programs and family plans.
