Dr. Michael Onkels

Two decades of hands-on expertise

Dr. Michael Onkels earned his Bachelor of Science in Human Biology and his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Cleveland Chiropractic College in Los Angeles, graduating Magna Cum Laude in 2002, the same year as his wife and practice partner, Dr. Eveline Onkels.

Dr. Mike was born and raised in Rochester, Minnesota, home to the renowned Mayo Clinic. After moving to California to pursue his love of racing bicycles, he suffered a serious accident that led him to his first chiropractic visit. It was not long after that he felt called to become a chiropractor himself, so he could help others recover from their injuries and live happier, healthier lives.

Together with Dr. Eveline he built their practice in Burbank, California, where he spent 20 years caring for a wide range of patients, from families and desk-bound professionals to athletes and accident recovery. That breadth is what he brings to Bountiful. Whatever is causing your pain, he has most likely treated it before, and he takes the time to find the real source rather than chase the symptom.

Away from the office, Dr. Mike is a lifelong competitive cyclist. He has raced since he was 15 and, in 2009, won the Masters Road Cycling Championship to become a US National Champion. That firsthand understanding of how active bodies move, strain, and recover shapes the care he gives athletes and weekend warriors alike.
