Casey A. McKeown, DC, DACBSP
Chiropractor
Dr. McKeown received his Bachelor of Science in 2002 from Emporia State University in Emporia, Kansas and went on to receive his Doctorate of Chiropractic in 2007 from Western States Chiropractic College in Portland, Oregon. He underwent an additional three years of training to become a Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Medicine in 2011 and is one of only 425 chiropractors to have received this credential nationwide. Dr. McKeown began practice in Newport, Oregon before purchasing his own practice right here in beautiful La Grande in 2008.
As a former college athlete, Dr. McKeown is intimately aware of the types of injuries that can happen to athletes at all levels of competition and has the knowledge and skills to get them back on the court, field, and or pitch as quickly and safely as possible.
In his free time, Dr. McKeown enjoys reading voraciously, watching college football, playing basketball, working out, and running races ranging from the Portland Marathon to Hood to Coast to the random 5K or 10K. A consummate craft beer enthusiast, Dr. McKeown enjoys traveling and finding new breweries whenever and wherever he can. When the cold weather hits, you can find him snowboarding all over the Northwest. He is currently leading the crusade to remove mayonnaise as a standard condiment on hamburgers.

Loki
Assistant to the General Manager
Hello, my name is Loki but my friends affectionately refer to me as The Landshark or Chaos Causer as I am full of mischief! I’m the real guy in charge around here and I’ve been coming to work with my dad, Dr. McKeown, every work day since June, 2023. I take my job seriously and often provide “adjustment assistance” for my dad (I will lick your face, ears or feet as soon as you lay down on the table).
I love meeting and greeting people, especially if you play with me, but sometimes I do get a little scared if I haven’t met you before and I have been told I have a “scary dog bark”. On the rare occasion that I get scared enough to bark at you, please don’t be afraid. I’m a really good, sweet boy and I’ll be your best friend if you take the time to let me get to know you. The Front Desk keeps treats if you want to feed me because my heart sure does melt for food. If you ever feel afraid of me or have allergies, please tell the Front Desk and they will call me away from you.
When I’m not at work my favorite things are smelling all the smells, going on walks or hikes, licking feet, eating anything that smells remotely edible, and playing with my favorite hoomans. I can’t wait to meet you!
