Dr. AJ Garis, Family Chiropractor
Dr. AJ Garis
Dr. AJ Garis is a native Oregonian raised in the small town of Aurora. He was introduced to the miracles of chiropractic at the age of 12 following a go-karting accident.
Dr. AJ earned his first Bachelor of Science in Geology, at Oregon State University. For a time he pursued a rewarding career in Geology before being called back to chiropractic.
Dr. AJ earned his Doctorate of Chiropractic from the University of Western States in Portland. Concurrently he earned his second Bachelor of Science in Human Biology. Throughout his studies he maintained Dean's List and received additional training and certifications in; Webster Technique for peri and postnatal care, and Graston Technique to reduce scar tissue and mysofascial adhesions. As a student focused on outreach, he founded "The Art of Chiropractic" club to help students practice their skills. In 2014 he organized a humanitarian trip to Peru, where 15 students provided chiropractic care to the impoverished people in the remote villages.
Through Dr. AJ's professional education and personal experiences with his daughters, he elected to focus his skills and passion toward pediatrics and families.
"When we adjust children, it often is not due to pain or injury; it serves to stimulate their nervous system and remove interferences, which helps them function at their highest abilities."
This concept is not restricted to children, which is why Dr. AJ's passion is to check children and families for spinal subluxations. Thus allowing the entire family to function at their highest abilities. He emphasizes and educates his patients on the benefits of living a healthy lifestyle through exercise, nutrition, and chiropractic care. This proactive approach helps individuals and families achieve and maintain their optimal healthcare goals.
In addition to taking care of his patients Dr. AJ enjoys spending time with his wife Stephanie and their 3 daughters: Eliza, Lucy and Olive. As a family they enjoy experiencing the great outdoors, which is what led them to relocate to Bend in 2016.
Dr. Sigrid Lakanen
Dr. Sigrid Lakanen, Family Chiropractor
Dr. Sigrid Lakanen graduated from the Northwestern College of Chiropractic in 1992 and practiced in Minnesota and Vermont before moving to Oregon with her family. She completed her internship in a maternal/pediatric clinic that focused on chiropractic care during pregnancy and for infants and children. She later completed the post-doctoral certification for chiropractic sports physicians, giving her greater expertise in treating athletes and their unique sports injuries. Her interest in sports has come from her own experience as a former national level alpine ski racer. Dr. Sigrid is also certified in advanced non-surgical scoliosis management through exercise and bracing. Dr. Sigrid’s experience with patient care comes from owning and operating her own clinics for 25 years, prior to moving to Bend.
Dr. Sigrid provides gentle and effective spinal manipulation to patients of all ages. She uses a biomechanical approach to spinal alignment, which includes the use of heel lifts, orthotics, and postural and ergonomic corrections, if needed. She also encourages patients’ participation in their healing by prescribing exercises and stretches to incorporate into their wellness routine.
Dr. Sigrid and her husband are excited to be members of the Bend community, where they can enjoy the outdoors through mountain biking, hiking, and skiing.
Dr. David Juratovac, Family Chiropractor
Dr. David Juratovac
Dr. David Juratovac began his chiropractic journey when, at the age of 14, he went to a chiropractic office for the first time. As the son of a massage therapist, Dr. David grew up being taught the importance of muscle health, spinal movement, and how an active lifestyle paired with smart nutrition can impact your entire life. This philosophy carried him through high school when he first thought of becoming a chiropractor, but it wasn’t until a job shadow in a chiropractic clinic that made him realize helping people was what he was meant to do.
Dr. David earned his Bachelor of Arts in Biology at St. John’s University in 2013, and continued his formal education with a Doctorate of Chiropractic from Northwestern Health Sciences University in 2016. Dr. David is committed to the philosophies of chiropractic that first inspired him when he was younger. In 2017 he completed post-graduate education as a Certified Chiropractic Wellness Practitioner (C.C.W.P) in order to help patients better understand that his main focus is preventative care and wellness, not just for now but a lifetime. In 2021, so he could better serve expectant mothers and their children, Dr. David became certified in the Webster technique with the Chiropractic Pediatrics Association.
Beyond his formal education, Dr. David has completed various continuing education courses to remain current and to serve his patients in the best possible way. He is proficient with therapeutic taping methods, instrument-assisted soft tissue therapies, and musculoskeletal rehabilitation work. While his passion is with wellness and prevention, he has vast experience with auto- and work-related traumas, acute pain, and sports injuries.
In his free time, Dr. David enjoys spending time with his wife Cass, daughter Sullivan, and “old puppy” Piper.
