Integrix Moorhead, MN • Fargo–Moorhead Physical Medicine
Precision Biomechanics, CCEP Extremity & In-Clinic Care
Hands-on neuromusculoskeletal relief delivered in person at our Moorhead clinic. Combining CCEP extremity adjusting, acoustic shockwave therapy, and Kinetisense 3D motion scoring to eliminate chronic pain patterns at the root.
The In-Clinic Protocol
From Acute Pain to Functional Resilience
How Dr. Paul M. Bekkum resolves structural dysfunction step-by-step:
1. Relief by Design
Pain is rung one on the ladder. We combine gentle chiropractic adjustments, CCEP extremity mobilizations, and acoustic shockwave therapy to decompress pinched nerves, reduce muscle spasm, and resolve acute inflammation.
Phase 1: Rapid Stabilization2. Kinetisense 3D Analysis
Markerless 3D computer-vision scans your movement, posture, and balance on a 100-point functional scale. We uncover the exact kinetic compensations (e.g. ankle pronation driving lower back torque) before symptoms recur.
Phase 2: Objective Biomechanics3. Restoration & Beyond
Once your joint symmetry and kinetic grade return to functional-normal, you graduate into full physical resilience. Patients can smoothly continue into Vitality by Design™ to optimize systemic metabolic and cellular vitality.
Phase 3: Vitality ProgressionBeyond the Spine: Certified Extremity Chiropractic
Most chiropractors focus exclusively on the vertebral spine. As a Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner (CCEP), Dr. Bekkum restores biomechanical alignment across all peripheral joints:
1. Shoulder & Rotator Cuff
Correcting anterior humeral head glide, AC joint subluxations, scapular dyskinesis, and frozen shoulder adhesions without surgery or steroid injections.
2. Lumbar Spine & Sciatica
Targeted disc decompression, sacroiliac joint re-alignment, and pelvic leveling to eliminate nerve root impingement and radiating sciatic leg pain.
3. Hip, Knee & Patellofemoral Track
Relieving meniscus compression, patellar tracking faults, and hip capsule restrictions that cause chronic knee degeneration and gait imbalances.
4. Foot, Ankle & Plantar Fasciitis
Adjusting subluxated talus, cuboid, and navicular bones to restore natural arch shock-absorption and permanently relieve chronic heel pain. Burning or numb feet? See neuropathy treatment.
5. Elbow, Wrist & Carpal Tunnel
Mobilizing fixated carpal bones and radial head subluxations to decompress the median/ulnar nerves and relieve tennis or golfer's elbow.
6. Cervico-Cranial & TMJ (Vagus)
Gentle atlas/axis (C0-C1) realignment and jaw balance to relieve tension headaches, jaw clicking, and decompress the 10th cranial vagus nerve.
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)
Chronic tendon pain, calcifications, and stubborn scar tissue often fail to heal because of low local blood supply. Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy delivers high-energy acoustic sound waves directly into injured tissues.
- Neo-vascularization: Stimulates new micro-capillary formation to deliver oxygen and nutrients.
- Adhesion Breakdown: Breaks up calcific fibroblasts and dense chronic scar tissue.
- Cellular Regeneration: Accelerates collagen synthesis and local cellular metabolism.
StructureIQ Workplace & Team Biomechanics
We bring our 3D movement assessment directly to Fargo–Moorhead businesses, athletic teams, and executive groups to baseline participants, identify injury risks, and track measurable physical resilience over time.

Pain is the alarm. Slow inflammation is often the fire.
Aches that crept in over the years are rarely just "getting older." Low-grade inflammation builds quietly from how you eat, sleep, move and handle stress. Over time it makes your nerves more sensitive, so the same joint hurts more than it should. Relief by Design works on both: the joint and the inflammation behind it.
Joints under the wrong load
When posture or movement is off, the same tissues take stress every day. That keeps local inflammation going. Our Kinetisense movement scan shows where.
Blood sugar and belly fat
High blood sugar and fat around the waist release signals that keep the whole body inflamed. This is one of the most common hidden drivers of joint pain.
Poor sleep and constant stress
Short sleep and a stress system stuck "on" both raise inflammation and lower your pain threshold. Fixing them often eases pain on its own.
What we measure
Labs that show your inflammation, not just your pain
Pain scores tell us how you feel. These blood tests show what is happening inside. We pick the ones that fit your history and exam, then re-check them to prove change.
| Test | What it tells us | Where we want you |
|---|---|---|
| hs-CRP | The main marker of body-wide, low-grade inflammation. | Under 1.0 mg/L |
| Fasting insulin | Early sign of blood sugar strain, often years before glucose rises. | Under 8 µIU/mL |
| Hemoglobin A1c | Your average blood sugar over about 3 months. | Under 5.7% |
| Triglyceride to HDL ratio | A simple read on insulin resistance and heart risk. | Under 2.0 |
| CBC with differential | White blood cell pattern, which shifts when inflammation is active. | Within normal range |
| Ferritin | Iron stores. It also rises with inflammation, so we read it in context. | Read with hs-CRP |
| Homocysteine | Linked to blood vessel inflammation and B-vitamin status. | Under 10 µmol/L |
| Vitamin D (25-OH) | Helps calm the immune response. Low levels are common here in the North. | 40 to 60 ng/mL |
| Omega-3 Index | How much anti-inflammatory fat is in your cell walls. | 8% or higher |
Targets are goals for health, which can be tighter than standard lab "normal" ranges. Many of these tests are covered by insurance when medically indicated; coverage depends on your plan. The Omega-3 Index is usually self-pay.
What you do between visits
Daily habits that lower inflammation
These changes have strong research behind them. You won't do them all at once. We start with the one or two that matter most for you and add from there. Print the Relief by Design handout →
Eat the Mediterranean way
Vegetables, beans, fruit, olive oil, nuts and fish. This pattern lowers CRP in clinical trials.
Start hereFill half your plate with vegetables at two meals a day.
Cut the biggest triggers
Added sugar, sweet drinks, white flour and ultra-processed snacks drive blood sugar spikes and inflammation.
Start hereSwap every sweet drink for water or unsweetened tea.
Get omega-3 fats
Fatty fish like salmon, sardines and trout supply the fats your body uses to turn inflammation off.
Start hereEat fatty fish twice a week.
Move every day
Working muscles release signals that lower inflammation over time. Short walks after meals also blunt blood sugar spikes.
Start hereWalk 10 minutes after your biggest meal. Build to strength work twice a week.
Protect your sleep
Fewer than 7 hours raises inflammatory markers and makes pain feel worse the next day.
Start hereWake at the same time every day, even on weekends.
Turn down stress
Slow breathing shifts your nervous system out of "fight or flight," which lowers stress hormones and pain sensitivity.
Start hereFive minutes of slow breathing, 6 breaths a minute, once a day.
How we prove it is working
We track inflammation the same way we track pain
- BaselineMovement scan, pain and function scores, symptom questionnaire and labs on day one.
- CorrectIn-clinic care for the joint, plus the one or two habit changes that matter most for you.
- Re-checkRepeat scores and labs to confirm inflammation is coming down, not just the pain.
- ProgressWhen pain is low and function is back, you move on to Rehabilitation by Design.
