What's the difference between sick care and health care?

Sick care is largely about relieving or suppressing symptoms. Health care is about improving performance. While sick care is about how you feel, health care is about how you function. Sick care is what you do to treat an obvious problem, and health care is what you do to avoid the problem and advance your well-being.

Where do most Portland residents get their first vertebral subluxation?

Being born in a hospital is a common source of vertebral subluxation. Trauma from forceps delivery has been replaced with drugs, vacuum extraction, Cesarean section and births that are "scheduled" to fit the workweek routines of Ob-Gyns. That's why we recommend a chiropractic checkup for every Portland newborn.

What to Expect

If you’ve ever gone to a social event where you didn’t know anyone, you know how uncomfortable that can make you feel.  Our goal is to eliminate every shred of apprehension and make you feel at home.

Since chiropractic care involves a series of visits, with each one building on the ones before, it’s important that our relationship can go the distance. We’ve found that one of the best ways to have successful patient relationships is to explain everything in advance. No surprises!

The more you understand who we are, what we do and why we do it, the better results you’ll enjoy. It’s as simple as that.

So, check us out here. Poke around. Get to know us. Then, contact us to make an appointment so we can get to know you.

First Visit

The first visit in our office is a relaxed exam and consultation.  We discuss whats wrong and what can be improved.  I like to give patients options in their healthcare so they can make informed choices.  Our goal is to have you leave the office feeling that you have a greater depth of knowledge of the body and choices on how to improve your overall health not only for today for for years to come.

Second Visit

Our second visit is when you get to experience the power of a great chiropractic adjustment.  You will know that something has changed inside you and will again gain more knowledge of how to improve your health for years to come.  During the second visit you will also be giving a breakdown of estimated costs of care and will be able to set up payment plans if needed.

A Typical Office Visit

A typical visit will last between 5 and 20 minutes depending on therapies on that day.  Your chiropractic adjustment itself is usually about a 4-5 minutes long and you may often use one of the therapies included in your care package.  We offer a wonderful hydromassage table that you may use during your visit as well as a rolling massage table.
