Dr. Brock Butler

Chiropractor

License CH61466516

Originally from Saskatchewan, Canada, Dr. Butler moved to Spokane in 2022 and quickly found a home in the Inland Northwest. He earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Northwestern Health Sciences University and brings a patient-centered, evidence-based approach to care.

His goal is to empower patients to return to the things they enjoy most by helping them understand that pain is not something they have to simply accept, and by giving them the tools and support to overcome it. Through personalized care, exercises, and education, he works to restore function, build confidence in movement, and reduce the impact of pain on daily life.

He primarily uses diversified adjustments and may also incorporate drop table techniques, spring-loaded instruments, or gentle traction when appropriate.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Butler is an avid snowboarder and winter enthusiast. When the snow melts, you'll find him staying active around Liberty Lake, soaking up the sunshine, and enjoying local community events throughout the Spokane-CDA area with his wife, Abigail.
