Bend Health Guide is a collective of Health Providers in Central
Oregon with a mission to promote health. This is the resource guide
to find all the great Health providers Bend has. We are more than a
print directory, we are a community that supports and promotes each
other, a healing tribe. Online we have Mobile Wellness Coupons at
bendhealthguide.com.
We support our advertisers
online with Facebook,
Instagram & soon a
Youtube channel. We host
community Meet-ups to
educate, connect and
network at meetup.com/Bend-Health-Guide. When you join Bend
Health Guide, it’s more than an advertisement, you are part of a
movement for health.
We believe in Tithing! Bend Health Guide tithes 10% of
profits to local non-profits we feel passionate about
such as Locavore, Waldorf School and Harmony
Farm Sanctuary. If we have extra ad space we gift
it to members of our community that we believe in,
such as Be a Local in Bend, Lights Out, etc.

Responding
to the Opoid
Crisis
Holistic Health Research is
responding to Opioid Crisis
Patient-Centered
Outcomes
Research Institute (PCORI)
an
independent,
nonprofit
organization has allocated
$5.7 million to fund studies for
holistic therapies for treating
low back pain including
massage,
acupuncture,
osteopathy, chiropractic, yoga,
cognitive behavioral therapy,
exercise therapy, and physical
or occupational therapy, while
restricting access to opioids.
In the U.S., opioid addiction
and overdose deaths have
reached epidemic proportions,
according to the National
Institute on Drug Abuse, up
to 650,000 Americans could
die from opioid addiction over
the next decade. This holistic
therapy study is based at Kaiser
Foundation Research Institute,
a division of Kaiser Permanente,
and will take the form of a
natural experiment, comparing
outcomes in patients with low
back pain to provide access
to Holistic Health options for
nondrug treatments. The study’s
projected end date is July 2020.
Medical professions may finally
accept what many of us have
known, Holistic Health offers a
safer, more effective treatment
than opioid pain killers.
