About Us
Brad D. Welker, D.C.
Dr. Welker specializes in the examination and treatment of whiplash and disc related spinal injuries. He believes it is important to work with other health care providers to ensure the best communication and care for each patient.
Spinal injuries are specifically treated with massage therapy, gentle manipulation, electromuscular stimulation, traction, and rehabilitation exercises to increase blood flow, speed recovery and restore joint and muscular function.
Dr. Welker was born and raised in Bend and moved back in 2000 to start his practice. Shortly after starting his practice he has continued his studies and has focused on whiplash and disc related spinal injury. This has now become his area of expertise and training. He works closely with local neurosurgeons and orthopedists and regularly attends symposiums through the Orthopedic and Neurological Center in Bend.
