Dr. Baastrup has served as a chiropractor in Juneau and the surrounding communities for 40+ years. He is a strong advocate for continual exercising and staying in shape throughout your life as he himself continually challenge himself. He wants to see his patient population get as healthy as they can and looks beyond symptoms to find ways to improve your health. You might see him out hiking (with his camera) or kayaking in the summer or figuring out how to skate ski in the winter.
Hi I’m Doctor Derek! I am excited to get to know you and encourage you on your journey with chiropractic care. I became a chiropractor after enduring some challenges with my own health then receiving great help from a few chiropractors. I realized that when I was unhealthy it was more difficult for me to experience the feeling of happiness because I was less able to do the things that brought me that feeling After I started getting adjusted I found out that I didn’t have to struggle with health challenges as I previously thought and it became easier to enjoy the things I love most. Now my life’s mission revolves around helping others experience better health so they too can do more of the things that bring them the feeling of happiness.
