This is My Story
For over three decades I have focused my practice on utilizing natural chiropractic and/or clinical nutrition methods which work with the body in order to get to the root cause of your pain and health issues. We regularly witness back & neck pain, headaches, knee pain, fatigue, digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances and a host of other conditions improve as function is restored and barriers to healing are removed.
About Dr. Wilkens
Chiropractic has been part of my life from the start. My grandfather was himself a chiropractor, and having witnessed and experienced the effectiveness of chiropractic both as a corrective and a preventative measure, I chose it as my own vocation when the time came. I earned my degree as Doctor of Chiropractic in Illinois, during which time I also married my wife who I had met while in undergraduate school in Santa Barbara, CA. We decided to settle and open my practice in Bend because of our mutual love for mountains, sunny days, pure air and outdoor sports, and 30 years later we have never regretted our decision! We raised our four children here and, weather permitting, we still take weekly hikes in the mountains. I believe some of the best pleasures in life are simple ones, but poor health or pain can seriously limit your ability even to enjoy things as basic as a good night’s sleep or a walk on a beautiful day. It has been my pleasure and passion to help many people attain more optimal health for their bodies, and it would be an honor to do the same for you.
