As a Chiropractor, Dr. Bunker-Huertas builds on his experience with manual therapy by incorporating rehabilitation through The McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Treatment® (MDT). Developed by Robin McKenzie, McKenzie Therapy is a system of musculoskeletal care that emphasizes patient empowerment and self-treatment. This system uses a reliable, evidence-based approach to musculoskeletal pain to treat acute, sub-acute or chronic issues. In 2021, Dr. Bunker-Huertas proudly joined the worldwide community of Certified MDT practitioners. 

 

Dr. Bunker-Huertas also incorporates assessments and treatments from Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS), a method of rehabilitation that utilizes developmental kinesiology, breathing and progressive exercises to restore functional movement, treat joint dysfunction, and reduce muscular tension. By creating a tailored approach to treatment, he strives to create a sense of well-being through hands-on approaches and through restorative movement. Dr. Bunker-Huertas enjoys working with athletes, children and parents, as well as soon-to-be parents. 

 

In his free time, he enjoys cooking and dancing with his wife and two boys, as well as weight training, practicing yoga, running, and travelling to his hometown in Puerto Rico
