About Core
Our care builds better health from the core.
Chiropractic is based on a simple scientific truth: your body is designed to heal itself. Somewhere along the way, we forgot this amazing power that lives within all of us. Our care removes the pain points and misalignments that stop your body from using its superpowers. And when things function correctly, you start to feel a whole lot better.
Meet Dr. Neil Crane
Your Dallas Chiropractor
A lifelong connection to chiropractic. A personal commitment to your care.
For Dr. Neil Crane, “Move with purpose” is more than the phrase on the wall. It reflects how he lives, how he cares for patients, and what he hopes to help you keep doing.
Raised in Bettendorf, Iowa, Dr. Crane was introduced to chiropractic by his uncle, a chiropractor. Growing up playing sports sparked an interest in movement and the role healthcare can play in an active life. That interest became a career centered on helping people feel heard, understand their bodies, and work toward the activities they love.
From Founding Core to Calling Dallas Home
Dr. Crane founded Core in 2012 and went on to own and operate three clinics in the Minneapolis area. He opened Core Lifestyle Clinic’s Dallas location in March 2023, bringing his experience and patient-centered approach to the community near Park Cities.
Today, he welcomes patients to the Pavilion on Lovers Lane with the same guiding principle: quality over quantity. Take time to listen. Explain the findings. Build a plan that fits the person.
Experience With People From Every Walk of Life
With more than 14 years of chiropractic experience, Dr. Crane has cared for desk workers, busy parents, expectant and postpartum mothers, children, weekend warriors, and competitive athletes. His experience includes working with athletes from the NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL, as well as young athletes developing their skills.
What matters most is what matters to you—whether that’s finishing a workday comfortably, returning to the gym, enjoying pregnancy with less discomfort, or keeping up with your family.
What It’s Like to Be His Patient
Your visit starts with a conversation. Dr. Crane wants to understand what’s bothering you, what you’ve already tried, and what you hope to change.
He combines examination findings with your goals to recommend appropriate care. Treatment may include chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, mobility work, and strengthening exercises, with practical guidance for the time between visits.
Expect clear explanations, room for questions, and a plan that evolves with your progress. When another provider’s expertise would better serve you, he’ll help guide that next step.
Education & Additional Training
Dr. Crane holds a Doctor of Chiropractic degree. His additional training includes strength and conditioning, blood flow restriction therapy, and the Webster Technique, a chiropractic assessment and adjustment approach focused on the sacrum and pelvic region.
This background informs his approach to movement, exercise, and individualized care—including his work with expectant mothers and active families.
Life Outside the Clinic
Dr. Crane and his wife, Kara, are parents to three daughters: Mila, Shay, and Pippa. Away from the clinic, you’ll often find him spending time with his family, cheering from the soccer sidelines, working out, playing golf, cooking, or exploring Dallas restaurants.
He understands that staying active has a different meaning for everyone. For him, it means being present for his family, making time for the things he enjoys, and practicing the habits he encourages patients to build.

Dr. Neil Crane is simply amazing! Truth be told, I had never seen a chiropractor before and I was extremely skeptical and nervous going into my first consultation for neck and hamstring pains over a year ago. It took only ONE visit to get over my nerves and see a tremendous positive impact on the injuries I was suffering from. Neil is not only extremely knowledgeable and on top of the latest practices and training, he is patient, kind, and very professional. Without him, I could not have completed my training goals. I am so thankful for Dr. Crane and his staff! Thank you!
What Clients Are Saying
I hurt my back at work and Dr. Crane is the only chiro I trusted to help me through my injury. He is the most compassionate, empathetic, and intelligent chiropractor I've ever met. He explained what was going on with my back so I could understand it, and he made sure we were doing the right things at the right pace for my injury. He helped heal and rehab my back and I've never felt better. He is an absolutely outstanding doctor and an even better guy!
Dr. Crane is the best chiropractor I've been to. I've been getting adjustments from him for 2 or so years and always feel great after. One thing I really appreciate about his practice is that he only adjusts you where you need it, so you never feel like you were contorted in every which way. If you're looking for a chiropractor, he's the one to see, hands down. He's also super welcoming, down to earth, and makes sure you're comfortable - which is always a plus when you have someone adjusting you!
