Dr. Bourland was licensed to practice chiropractic in 1973. He has practiced in Hillsboro since that time.

A note from Dr. Bourland:

I was drawn to chiropractic because I always had a keen interest in seeing the body repair itself with minimum use of pharmaceuticals and invasive procedures.

As a teenager I was in a motorcycle accident that a chiropractor helped me immensely with, which gave me even more reason to pursue chiropractic as a profession.

As a chiropractic student I felt that spinal manipulation was too traumatic for many individuals, and that a means of moving the spine by training the muscles to do the job would be a much more precipitous way of encouraging health without the trauma.

During the 70s and 80s I found that most conditions responded very favorably to chiropractic care and would progress in a fairly rapid manner. However, as we have gotten into the 90s and beyond, certain conditions do not respond as well. I have learned that this is a result of the toxicity of the American diet that is followed by most adults and children.

As a result of study in nutrition, I have incorporated a more holistic approach in my office. This consists of nutritional counseling detoxification, which then allows the musculature to adapt the spine much more readily.

My passion for the last 36 years that continues to this day is to see people regain their health without drugs or surgery and learn an improved lifestyle that can allow them to continue at a state of health.
