High Desert Chiropractic has a long history of serving this wonderful outdoor community in our family friendly office. Drs. Josh and Brandi moved to Bend 18 years ago to be in nature with the intention to raise their family enjoying the outdoors and experiencing a happier, healthier life serving families in central Oregon.

One of our goals has always been organic healthcare for the body. At our office you know you’re more than just a back, a headache, or a crying baby. The doctors and staff strive to meet individual needs with all of their specialties. Dr. Brandi Kuhn, Dr. Chirsteen Perkins and Dr. Alyssa Salava are Pediatric Chiropractic specialists who treat tongue tie, earaches, colic and torticolis. and babies with inability to latch. They work with peri-natal moms to help them function optimally before pregnancy, during pregnancy and postpartum, after baby arrives.

Dr. Josh Kuhn has a family based chiropractic practice that treats everything, including sports injuries, whiplash, TMJ, headaches, and arthritis. Massage therapy, cold laser, and gentle adjustments are included to benefit a wide variety of conditions. His goal is to get you back doing the things you love as soon as possible!

Often we recommend patients get outside and enjoy where we live. It has been proven that nature helps us cope with pain because we are genetically programmed to find trees, plants, water, and other nature elements engrossing. Being absorbed by nature distracts us from our pain and discomfort. Take a moment walking the river trail, conquering a hike or sharing some turns with friends up at the mountain. Any amount of time out in nature can reduce stress, increase mental clarity, release pain and tension, plus balance hormones.

Even images of nature can have a similar health benefit. Our office has a nature focus with a fish tank, plants and images of trees. We follow Feng Shui design principles to create a space that respects nature’s elements. Outside we have a living roof on our bike rack, a xeriscaped natural aesthetic landscape that changes with the seasons. You can do this in your own workspace, too. Surround yourself with images of nature to bring you joy, place a healthy plant or flowers in your work area. Take moments to breath and enjoy them though out the day. Better yet use some of your lunch break to go outside!
