Introducing Bellevue Chiropractor Dr. Josh Oncken
The Emergency Room doctor told my parents that the pain was in my head...
I chose chiropractic because I knew first hand the amazing results that no other health care option offered. After a jump off a fence when I was twelve, my back hurt so bad I couldn't sleep, couldn't stand, I was miserable. That night my mom and I went to the local ER, after three and a half hours they didn't know what was wrong. My x-rays were negative, nothing was broken, they simply couldn't give us a reason for my pain. They told my mom to give me pain medication, but it wouldn't help, because the pain "was in my head." The next day very frustrated, my mom's friend told us about her chiropractor. We had no "good or bad" feelings about them, we just plain didn't know. To make a long story short, three days later as we were driving home from his office, I was PAIN FREE and I thought to myself, that would be a great job....helping people, treating the cause of disease, not masking the symptoms.
My Chiropractic Path
I graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA which is know as the fountainhead of chiropractic. While at Palmer I taught the physical therapy classes and trained under some of the best sports chiropractors around. My biggest desire, which I think I learned in school, has always been, to help make chiropractic better.
Most patients who come to our office have been told that they hurt because they are:
- Getting OLD.
- Have bad luck
- Have bad genes
What we have found is most of them have just been given inadequate advice, improper care, or told to "just live with it" from good intentioned people.
Our Model is to get you as strong and healthy as we can so you can take life head on.
Dr. Oncken is married and to his beautiful wife Kelli and has two wonderful boys Caleb and Luke. When he is not helping patients get better he enjoys the outdoors and spending time with his family.
Dr. Oncken is not just a doctor, but a patient. He and his family embrace the wellness model of health care. They are active in athletics, vitamins, and of course taking care of their spine, joints, and nervous system with chiropractic.
