Why Integrix Health Exists

You Deserve Better Than Average Care

After 33+ years in practice — covering chiropractic neurology, functional medicine, and genetics — Dr. Bekkum founded Integrix Health around one consistent observation: smart, motivated people stuck in a system that is measuring the wrong things.

At Integrix Health, patients are no longer told their labs are “normal” while they feel anything but. They are no longer given a plan designed for the average person. They are no longer managed — they are healed.

That’s why Dr. Bekkum founded Integrix Health. He combines root-cause functional medicine — including specialized fibromyalgia functional medicine protocols — with chiropractic rehab built around functional rehab vs physical therapy principles. Patients get both the investigation and the structural care they need, in one place.

“I don't want to be the doctor who manages your decline. I want to be the practitioner who helps you build a vitality reserve — so that your health becomes an asset, not a liability.”

— Dr. Paul Bekkum

06
Design

Long-term vitality strategy and proactive prevention

This is not a protocol. It is a framework built around the reality that healing happens in a sequence — and cutting corners at any stage collapses the whole structure.

"When patients ask me why they should choose a CCEP chiropractor over a general chiropractor, I give them a simple answer: the spine does not exist in isolation. Every extremity joint — from the subtalar articulations of the foot up through the ankle, knee, hip, and all the way to the temporomandibular joint — participates in how the spine loads, compensates, and recovers from stress. A CCEP-credentialed clinician follows that chain and treats it as an integrated system. That's not a philosophical position — it's basic biomechanics that most spinal-only care overlooks entirely."

— Dr. Paul Bekkum, DC, Founder of Integrix Health

Beyond the Clinic

Walking the Talk

When Dr. Bekkum is not in the office, he is walking the talk. An active practitioner of functional fitness and bodyweight training, he maintains the same vitality standards he asks of his patients.

He is also deeply rooted in Orthodox Christian theology — a framework that informs his belief that true health encompasses body, mind, and spirit. This whole-person orientation is not incidental to his practice. It is the foundation of it.

He is based in the West Fargo/Moorhead area and serves patients virtually across North Dakota and Minnesota, and in-person at Downtown Health and Wellness in Moorhead, MN.
