Our Approach

Care built around the whole person

Every plan starts with a thorough exam and an honest conversation — then moves through three stages at your pace.

01

Ease what hurts

First we settle the pain that brought you in, using gentle adjustments and soft-tissue therapies matched to your comfort level.

02

Rebuild how you move

Then we work on mobility and strength — traction, decompression, and corrective exercise aimed at the cause, not just the symptom.

03

Keep you steady

Finally, a maintenance rhythm that fits your work and your life, so the progress you made holds.

Auto & Personal Injury Specialty

Hurt in a crash? Your Oregon PIP already covers this.

Oregon requires Personal Injury Protection on every auto policy, and it pays for your treatment no matter who caused the crash. Because benefits are paid on a no-fault basis, a PIP claim isn’t treated as an at-fault claim against you. We bill it directly, so you don’t front the cost.

  • Whiplash, neck, back & soft-tissue injury care
  • We bill PIP / MedPay directly and handle attorney liens
  • Clear documentation for your personal-injury claim
  • Prompt injury evaluations — most new patients seen within days

Coverage details vary — your policy governs, so check with your agent or insurer. This isn’t legal advice.

Common Questions

Good to know before you come in

Are you accepting new patients?

Yes — we’re always happy to welcome new patients. Request an appointment online or call us at (503) 653-2232.

Do I need a referral to be seen?

No. You can book directly with us. If your plan happens to require a referral, we’ll help you sort that out before your visit.

Will using my PIP raise my insurance rates?

PIP benefits are paid on a no-fault basis, so a PIP claim isn’t treated as an at-fault claim against you. Your policy governs the details — check with your agent or insurer. This isn’t legal advice.

How soon after a crash should I be seen?

Sooner is better. Adrenaline can mask soft-tissue damage for a day or two, and whiplash often surfaces later in the week. Early documentation also helps your claim.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Photo ID, your insurance card, and — if you were in a crash — your claim number and adjuster’s contact information. Completing your forms online ahead of time saves you about fifteen minutes.
