What we do here

Bonfire Chiropractic opened at 6291 N Fox Run Way in Meridian to care for the whole person, not only the main complaint. We provide chiropractic care to help our patients reach their health goals: we assess you as a whole, address what brought you in, and aim to lead you toward a life where pain is not running the show.

Our vision is to create one of the healthiest communities in the world, starting right here in the heart of the Treasure Valley, and to do it affordably.

The approach is evidence-based and neurologically based: specific adjustments, corrective exercise and in-house X-ray, with a nervous-system focus that asks what could be contributing to the problem, not only where it hurts. Your first visit is a conversation, a nerve scan, an exam and X-rays.

We are a cash-pay, out-of-network practice by choice: it lets the doctors recommend the care your findings call for rather than the care an insurer will authorize. We supply a superbill so you can submit to your own insurance for any out-of-network benefits.

Ryan Weed received his Doctor of Chiropractic from Parker University in Dallas, Texas, and his undergraduate degree in statistics from Brigham Young University.

He was born in Boise (his grandfather, the obstetrician Harold Hulme, delivered a good share of the city at St. Luke's downtown) and has lived here most of his life. He has practiced as a chiropractor in the Treasure Valley for 16 years.

He and his wife Bethany have five children. He dabbles in nearly every sport, tries to beat his wife at board and card games, and is learning to play the bagpipes.

Faith, service and the community

Before chiropractic, Dr. Barker pastored churches in Alaska and New Mexico. That shows up in how the practice sees its role: our doctors speak at workplaces, churches and community groups across the Treasure Valley on how the body is built and how to take care of it. If you would like a talk for your team or group, see our events page.
