Dr. Darius Bradford, DC
Dr. Darius Bradford D.C. is a board certified Chiropractor, born and raised in Flint, Michigan. Growing up in Flint, Michigan, Dr. Bradford lacked access to quality healthcare - especially alternative medicine. He noticed that his community had higher rates of illnesses and health conditions, which he wanted to make a difference in. Despite not being exposed to quality healthcare and alternative medicine, he decided to pursue a degree in the healthcare field. Dr. Bradford graduated from Central College, located in Pella, Iowa, earning his Bachelor of Arts degree in Exercise Science. Afterwards, Dr. Bradford graduated from Northwestern Health Sciences University, located in Bloomington, Minnesota, where he earned his Doctorate of Chiropractic.
Dr. Darius Bradford began his career as an associate at Bloomington Wellness Center, located in Bloomington, MN, where he sharpened his clinical, patient and adjusting skills. He then moved to Iowa and was an associate at Dunham-Fritz Chiropractic in Marshalltown, Iowa shortly before launching Restore Chiropractic & Acupuncture in Grinnell, Iowa.
Dr. Bradford is a firm believer in delivering care from a whole body approach - seeking to find the root cause of his patients' conditions and guiding them through and beyond their individualized care plan to ensure they reach optimal wellness. His primary focus in practice is headache and migraine care, joint pain and immobility, nutrition, and general wellness and family care. Dr. Bradford actively invests time in continuing education to stay up to date with the latest research and news in natural healthcare to ensure that his patients are receiving the best and highest quality of care for lasting long-term results.
Dr. Bradford loves to be intentional in all aspects of his life. He loves training from a functional movement perspective, traveling and seeing the world with his wife Sydney, spending time with family at Hawkeye games, and reading the latest self-development books in pursuit of being the best version of himself to serve others well.
