Chiropractic and Natural Services at The Wellness Center PDX in Portland and Beaverton
At The Wellness Center PDX in Portland, our team is honored to be your local go-to source for natural relief from acute and chronic dysfunction. Our services are natural and safe for the whole family!
Chiropractic Care
Have you ever experienced sciatica, low back pain, chronic joint pain, whiplash, or a work injury or sports injury such as a disc herniation or carpal tunnel syndrome? You may benefit from chiropractic care. Our adjustments help realign your spinal joints—the "house" of your spinal cord—and provide a "resetting" pain-modulating action within the nervous system.
Corrective Exercises
To heal through movement is an essential requirement of the body. We prescribe exercises that are individually modified to meet a variety of goals including tissue healing, increased strength, increased endurance, increased range of motion, and improved neuromotor control. Our physical therapy and chiropractor team takes the time to ensure you're comfortable performing the movements and that you can do them correctly and safely.
Lifestyle Advice
You're only with us for a fraction of your week. What you do outside our clinic will make an even greater impact on your health! We provide comprehensive and practical advice on things like breathing exercises, stress management strategies, ergonomics, body mechanics, and sleep hygiene to ensure your health is supported optimally.
Nutritional Counseling
What you eat is the foundation of your well-being and longevity. How do you cut through the fray of all the competing ideas out there about "good" nutrition? Using information based on sound science and research, our team can advise you on what foods and supplements to eat (and what to avoid) so as to maximize your tissue and cellular health, reverse or prevent chronic disease, and heal injury.
Massage Therapy
Massage is usually known as a luxury, but as good as it can feel it can also be a keystone component of your recovery from injury or illness! Our massage therapy team uses specific and targeted manual pressure techniques to facilitate increased tissue oxygenation, improved blood flow and lymphatic drainage, decreased muscle tension, and improved mood and sleep.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient technique that has been used to manage conditions ranging from asthma and headaches to back pain and whiplash. We insert thin sterile needles (it's virtually painless) into your skin at specific so-called "trigger points" which, when stimulated, trigger healing and anti-inflammatory effects in a variety of bodily systems (immune, musculoskeletal, hormonal, etc.).
Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathic Doctors have a 4 year doctorate degree and practice natural medicine in a wide variety of ways. At The Wellness Center, our ND's primary focus is on musculoskeletal health, alternative pain management, and regenerative medicine. Our ND’s perform musculoskeletal ultrasound exams and provide various injection therapies for pain management and regenerative medicine
Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative Medicine at The Wellness Center takes form as Prolotherapy, Platelet Rich Plasma(PRP), and Regenerative Medicine services. We offer these in the form of injection therapies, wherewe deliver nutrients, regenerative and restorative growth factors and cytokines, and/or umbilical cord
and amniotic cells directly to tissues that have been damaged, degraded or injured. The goal ofthese therapies is to stimulate your body's immune response to come to the area and address thedegeneration, as it would with a new injury. This can be particularly helpful in tissues that do not
have their own rich vascular supply (tendons, ligaments, cartilage
Nerve Conduction Studies
Nerve Electromyography works by measuring your body’s ability to receive and conduct nerve impulses in either the upper or lower body. It measures the quality of the nerve signals, and can help determine if there is a history of old injury, new damage or current impingement.
Spinal & Postural Screenings
Posture and spinal screenings can reveal important health information and unlock the door to improved health and well-being. We provide screenings at area malls, community events, health fairs and places of employment. Contact us today to arrange a screening at your event or workplace.
On-Site Imaging
X-Rays: are taken on your first visit to evaluate the spinal curvature, joints, disc space, skeletal health and to look for any reasons it may be unsafe to do spinal adjustments.
Ultrasound exam: of the muscles and tendons to rule out inflammation, dysfunction or injury. This is performed by the Naturopathic Doctor, who also evaluates your needs for other services in the office and helps coordinate your care
