Bonnie L. Walker, DC, Dipl Ac has been a licensed chiropractic physician in the state of North Carolina since 1989, and has been in solo practice in Boone since 1990. She founded Wellspring Chiropractic and Acupuncture Center in Boone, NC in 1990, where she has been a primary care provider of chiropractic services, classical Chinese acupuncture, nutritional counseling, and wellness care for all ages. She has a special interest in chronic fatigue, immune system disorders, internal medicine, and women’s health.

Dr. Walker earned her D.C. Doctor of Chiropractic degree from National College of Chiropractic in Lombard, IL in 1989, after attending University of Bridgeport as one of the first graduates of their pre chiropractic program. She received her diplomate certification in acupuncture (Dipl Ac) by examination by the National Commission for the Certification of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) in 1999 and became a NC state licensed acupuncturist in 2005. She is currently an active member of the Acupuncture Council of the North Carolina State Chiropractic Association (NCCA) and of the Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Alliance (AOMA).

Dr. Walker is a founding faculty member, biomedical dean and clinical skills instructor at Jung Tao School of Classical Chinese Medicine in Sugar Grove, NC. <http://www.jungtao.edu> She has been a student of Jung Tao School since 1993, where she graduated from the apprenticeship program in 1997. She was awarded her instructor’s white belt in taijiquan from Jung Tao School in 1996. In 2004 she was awarded her master’s diploma in acupuncture with special recognition for meritorious service.

Drawn to the practice of the healing arts 32 years ago first as a patient, Dr Bonnie has been a tireless advocate of patient responsibility for their own health. She engages each patient in an active partnership in understanding and reclaiming their optimum health goals. This is achieved by instructing in lifestyle management education (diet, exercise, mental and emotional health), basic Chinese and western health principles, and awareness of and responsiveness to one’s basic biological needs, in conjunction with the application of the least invasive, most simple and effective, integrative therapies available. Her primary influences have been: Julian Timoner, DC; Dorthea Linley, MD; Cary Reams, PhD; “Chip” Poluhowich, Ph D; Jacob Janse, DC; Alan Beardall, DC; Sean Marshall, D Ac; Nguyen vanNghi, MD, Tran viet Dzung, MD; and all of their masters, to whom she is eternally grateful.
