Effective spinal adjusting takes years to master. Dr. Wilkens has had over 30 years of success with numerous adjusting techniques including: manual (or 'hands-on'), gentle activator, segmental drop table, and flexion-distraction (spinal decompression). Dr. Wilkens has become skilled in various techniques in order to accommodate your preferences and provide you with comprehensive care to meet your goal of rapid relief.
The body's joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons all work together and make up the musculoskeletal system. Therapeutic massage in our office is designed to help relax tense musculature and improve soft tissue function. While massage and chiropractic adjusting can each yield excellent results individually, when they are combined to address both the joints and soft tissues, patients often experience a more rapid and complete recovery.

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.
Our bodies require certain nutrients in order to function properly. Diets high in processed foods and low in natural whole foods fail to provide the essential nutritional building blocks our bodies need. The United States spends significantly more money on its healthcare system than any other country in the world.
I came to Dr. Wilkens seeking to to rid myself of numerous health plights and desiring a healthier lifestyle. I was suffering from acid reflux, lower abdominal bloating and pain, lack of energy, constipation, irritable bowels, and feeling physically weak. I also suffer from high cholesterol, bone and joint injuries, and overweight issues that compound these problems.

Dr. Wilkins has given me the most effective and comprehensive care I have ever had with a chiropractor - including nutritional evaluations and coaching. Under his care my Bursitis went away after a couple years of sleep disrupting pain at night - and I now know how to fight the inflammation. I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Wilkins and his staff!

Not all that friendly of staff. They do a good job at getting you seen, but sometimes they are rude over the phone and in person. I also didn't like how I had to come back for adjustments constantly. They'd always say " okay, we need to see you 3 times a week" I never understood why because I only needed a few adjustments and I felt like I was fine. Of course, I listened to the chiropractor, but I didn't agree that I had to keep seeing him so often. I also didn't appreciate how they bill their visits under "office visit" to get you to pay a higher co-pay and have the insurance pay them more money

Dr. Wilkens has helped me so much with a back / sciatic nerve injury. I go to him for nutrition issues as well. I am 66 and after following his Anit-Inflammatory Eating Plan for several months and taking supplements purchased at his office, I feel 15 years younger. The office staff is ALWAYS friendly and helpful.

We are so lucky to have such a great place in Bend. Whenever we are in pain we can count on Dr Wilkens to help us get the healing started. For nearly 8 years we've used him off and on. From car wrecks, to work related injuries. The best part is we're not "hooked for life." He gets the job done and we're better... Until we reinjure ourselves again, and Jim is who we call.
