The Doctors and Staff

Bend Oregon Chiropractor and Functional Medicine Practitioner

Dr. Jason Kremer

Dr. Kremer is a Chiropractic and Functional Medicine physician in Bend Oregon with a focus on Sports Medicine and Natural Healthcare. He received his Bachelors of Science in Exercise Science and Nutrition from Central Michigan University and received his Doctorate in Chiropractic from Western States Chiropractic College in Portland, Oregon. Upon obtaining his Doctorate, Dr. Kremer completed an additional year of post graduate education to earn credentials as a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician (CCSP). Currently, Dr. Kremer is persuing his passion for natural healthcare in the field of Functional Medicine through the Institute for Functional Medicine. This is an emerging field which focuses on the root causes of chronic and autoimmune diseases and not just treating or masking the symptoms. As the creator and owner of WellCOR.net, Dr. Kremer strives to educate, inspire and empower individuals to take a more proactive approach in achieving their optimal levels of health through lifestyle changes.

Dr. Kremer received his certification as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) in 2005 and continues working with individuals in the area of sports performance, weight management and physical rehabilitation.

“My goal for successfully treating conditions and injuries is to not only diagnose and treat an injury, but also understand its cause and prevent future occurrences through chiropractic manipulation, nutritional components, and prescribing therapeutic exercise programs.”

Dr. Kremer is also an authority in the diagnosis and treatment of Celiac Disease, gluten sensitivity, and food allergies and sensitivities. Many patients with everything from chronic skin conditions, autoimmune diseases, migraines, ADHD, IBS, chronic fatigue, etc. can make significant improvements by finding out what foods might be making them sick. In several cases, after healing the gut, foods can slowly be reintroduced. A significant number of our patients have had such an eye opening turn around after discovering that the food they were eating was drastically effecting their health. Many of those had seen specialist after specialist with no real success with treatment. For example, in the case of gluten sensitivity, it typically takes 9-11 years in the U.S. after symptoms have presented before someone finally discovers the actual cause. Having discovered himself what an impact a dairy allergy had on his own personal levels of health and wellness, he continues educating the community by giving talks at health clubs, restaurants, and the local Whole Foods. Looking for a safe gluten-free restaurant in Bend Oregon? You will see many of Dr. Kremer's thorough gluten-free reviews posted on Yelp.

A personal healthy lifestyle is Dr. Kremer’s primary goal for himself and his patients. Having been a state and national level wrestler for 16 years, he continues his chosen active lifestyle with triathlons, trail running, mountain biking, kayaking, surfing, snowboarding, rock-climbing, yoga, and as a competitive natural bodybuilder.

Dr. Kremer and his wife Cassie are columnists for the Internationally distributed Paleo Magazine and have two adorable French Bulldogs, Franco and Pearl.
