Dr. Keoni Aparis, D.C.
Chiropractic Physician
Helping people restore their health, reclaim their function, and live life to its fullest is what inspires Dr. Keoni every day. As a Structural Correction Chiropractor, he believes the body functions best when the spine and nervous system are properly aligned. Rather than simply chasing symptoms, he focuses on identifying and correcting the underlying structural causes of pain and dysfunction to create lasting improvements in health, movement, and performance.
A Seattle native, Dr. Keoni is proud to return home and serve the community that helped shape him. He earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life Chiropractic College West, graduating with the Presidential Award as the top student in his class. During his training, he served as a student teacher, mentored future chiropractors, and participated in international mission trips providing care to underserved communities.
With advanced training in Chiropractic Biophysics (CBP), structural correction, posture rehabilitation, Diversified and Gonstead adjusting, extremity care, and sports rehabilitation, Dr. Keoni enjoys caring for patients of all ages—from families and busy professionals to competitive athletes. His approach is rooted in one guiding principle: Test. Don’t guess. Every care plan begins with a comprehensive structural and neurological evaluation, allowing him to develop personalized recommendations that address the root cause of dysfunction and create measurable, lasting results.
Outside the office, Dr. Keoni enjoys strength training, Muay Thai, exploring the Pacific Northwest, and spending time with family and friends. As a lifelong student of human performance, he believes health isn’t just about adding years to your life—it’s about adding life to your years. He considers it a privilege to help every patient build a healthier body, move with greater confidence, and enjoy a more active life.
Dr. Josh Oncken, D.C.
Chiropractic Physician
The Emergency Room doctor told my parents that the pain was in my head… I chose chiropractic because I knew firsthand the amazing results that no other healthcare option offered.
After a jump off a fence when I was twelve, my back hurt so bad I couldn’t sleep, couldn’t stand, I was miserable. That night my mom and I went to the local ER, after three and a half hours they didn’t know what was wrong. My x-rays were negative, nothing was broken, and they simply couldn’t give us a reason for my pain. They told my mom to give me pain medication, but it wouldn’t help, because the pain “was in my head.” The next day very frustrated, my mom’s friend told us about her chiropractor. We had no “good or bad” feelings about them, we just plain didn’t know.
To make a long story short, three days later as we were driving home from his office, I was PAIN-FREE and I thought to myself, that would be a great job….helping people, treating the cause of disease, not masking the symptoms.
