Get to know Chiropractor Dr. Skylar W. Bakko, who serves patients in Centennial, Colorado.

Dr. Bakko is a skilled chiropractor who is the Founder of Baku Chiropractic & Functional Medicine in Centennial, Colorado. Committed to shifting the health paradigm in his community, he has chosen to devote his life to the healing arts with the hope of changing the world, one person’s health at a time.

With the knowledge and expertise to help one heal naturally, he believes that the body is capable of self-healing, self-regulating, and self-maintaining. He uses a combination of unique techniques, advanced technology, and compassionate care to help people of all ages and conditions reach higher health. Along with general chiropractic care, he specializes in brain-based wellness with a focus on thyroid problems.

Born and raised in Marysville, Michigan, it was there that Dr. Bakko initially began receiving regular holistic care at a young age. It was his family chiropractor who inspired him to become a healing practitioner himself. 

While he knew he wanted to pursue a career as a natural healer, his decision was solidified when his family chiropractor saved his mother’s life. His mother had been experiencing seemingly random symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, poor sleep, digestive problems, muscle pain, and hair loss, when their chiropractor detected a potential problem with her thyroid.

Following his recommendation, Dr. Bakko’s mother was checked by her doctor. She was initially diagnosed with an infection. Their chiropractor urged her to get a second opinion. It was then that she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Thanks to their family chiropractor, it was detected early enough to cure and to this day, she remains cancer-free.

As he grew older, Dr. Bakko’s passion for natural health grew with him. He has since earned his Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa and completed hours of study on Brain-Based Wellness. 

Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine that mainly deals with the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. A chiropractor uses spinal adjustments, manipulation, and other techniques to manage patients’ health concerns, including neck pain and back pain. They aim to improve patients’ functionality and quality of life by properly aligning the body’s musculoskeletal structure and enabling the body to heal itself without the use of medication or surgery. 

Outside of the office, Dr. Bakko enjoys spending quality time with his wife, Susana. He also loves to exercise, play the drums, go on hikes, and bowl on Saturday nights.
