Chiropractor in Bend, Oregon
Expert chiropractic care for residents of Bend and Central Oregon. Specializing in advanced treatments for lasting pain relief and improved mobility.
Chiropractic Care in Bend, Oregon
Bend sits at 3,623 feet in Central Oregon's high desert, and if you've lived here for any length of time, you know that outdoor lifestyle comes with its own set of spinal issues. We're not exaggerating when we say we see more mountain biking crashes, ski injuries, and climbing-related back problems here than anywhere else we've worked. The population's around 99,000 now and growing fast, which means we're treating everyone from tech workers with brutal desk posture to retired folks who think they're still 25 on the slopes. The elevation does funny things to recovery too. You heal a bit slower up here, and dehydration makes muscle tension worse than it would be at sea level. We've been using Chiropractic BioPhysics in Bend since we opened, and it's particularly effective for the kind of structural damage you get from high-impact sports.
Common Conditions We Treat in Bend
Ski and snowboard injuries from Mt. Bachelor - compression fractures, rib subluxations, whiplash-type neck injuries from falls
Mountain biking crashes and overuse injuries from Phil's Trail, Wanoga, Storm King - crashes cause acute injuries, repetitive jarring causes chronic thoracic and cervical issues
Tech neck and forward head posture - Bend's tech industry workers have some of the worst forward head posture we've seen, often 2-3 inches forward adding 20-30 pounds of constant strain
Rock climbing injuries from Smith Rock - shoulder impingement, neck strain from belaying, low back pain from crack climbing
Trail running injuries - impact loading on uneven terrain causes sacroiliac joint dysfunction and repetitive stress to lumbar spine
Desk posture and sitting-related pain - rounded shoulders, anterior pelvic tilt, lumbar disc compression in office workers and remote workers
Serving Neighborhoods Throughout Bend
old Mill
Old Mill District is where a lot of the newer development and shopping is. Mostly condos and townhomes, younger professionals, lots of people who work from home. We see these patients with neck pain and headaches from poor workspace ergonomics.
northwest Crossing
NorthWest Crossing is family-oriented on the northwest side of town. Tons of kids in sports—soccer, lacrosse, basketball. We treat a lot of pediatric patients from this area for sports injuries and scoliosis.
downtown
Downtown/Drake Park area has older homes, more established neighborhood. Mix of long-time Bend residents and newer arrivals who wanted to be walkable to everything. We see more degenerative conditions here—arthritis, disc issues, chronic pain that's been building for years.
westside
Westside is more spread out, bigger lots, and a mix of ages. Westside patients often have longer commutes if they work in town, which means more time sitting in cars, which means more low back stiffness.

Frequently Asked Questions - Bend
Does Chiropractic BioPhysics work for ski and snowboard injuries?
Absolutely, and it's actually better than standard chiropractic for these kinds of impacts. When you fall skiing or catch an edge snowboarding, you're not just getting a simple subluxation—you're often getting structural shifts in your spine that don't self-correct. CBP uses specific traction and mirror-image adjustments to restore proper spinal curves, which is critical after trauma. We do digital X-rays to see exactly what's happening structurally, then create a correction plan.
sportsI work from home in Bend and my neck is killing me. Can you help?
Yeah, tech neck is probably our most common complaint right now. We measure forward head posture as part of our CBP assessment and most remote workers are shocked at how far forward they're carrying their head. Every inch forward adds 10 pounds of strain. We do specific cervical traction to restore the normal neck curve, plus adjustments and exercises to retrain the posture.
technicalHow is CBP different from regular chiropractic?
Regular chiropractic focuses on relieving pain and improving joint mobility. CBP goes deeper—we're correcting the actual structural alignment of your spine using physics and engineering principles. We take specific X-rays to measure spinal curves, then use mirror-image traction and adjustments to restore normal alignment. It takes longer but the results last because we're fixing the root cause.
technicalDo you treat kids for sports injuries?
Yes, and we see a lot of young athletes in Bend. Youth soccer, lacrosse, ski racing, mountain biking—these kids are training at pretty high intensities. The good news is that kids respond incredibly well to CBP because their spines are still developing and very adaptable. We treat everything from scoliosis to sports injuries to postural issues.
pediatricWill insurance cover CBP treatment?
We don't accept insurance, but we can provide superbills for you to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. A lot of our patients have HSA or FSA accounts they use for payment. CBP typically requires more visits up front than standard chiropractic because we're doing structural correction, not just symptom relief.
costI crashed my mountain bike pretty hard last month and my mid-back still hurts. Should I come in?
Yes, definitely. Thoracic spine injuries from bike crashes don't always resolve on their own, especially if you had rib involvement or rotational trauma. What probably happened is you got vertebral subluxations and rib head misalignments that are now causing chronic inflammation. The longer you wait, the harder it is to correct.
sportsDo you work with competitive athletes or just recreational?
Both. We treat weekend warriors who just want to keep skiing and biking without pain, and we also work with competitive runners, cyclists, triathletes, and skiers who need to stay at peak performance. For competitive athletes, we focus on optimizing spinal alignment for performance and injury prevention.
