At Laurelhurst Chiropractic, we understand that every human body is a unique, complex system of parts that integrate with the whole. Tissues, nerves, and bones support each other inside your spine and joints, and together they affect the function and feeling in the rest of your body. When our team of comprehensive chiropractors works with our patients in Portland, OR, we keep this in mind, using techniques that take your entire body and lifestyle into account. This holistic approach to wellness is designed to promote long-term pain relief and recovery for our patients, rather than quick fixes that come with their own complications.

So what exactly do we do, and how does it help you achieve wellness and health? Before you schedule a consultation with our staff in Portland, here’s a crash course in chiropractic care and what it means for our patients.

What Is Chiropractic Care?

Our team of comprehensive chiropractors in Portland, OR, offers a wide range of different chiropractic services, all of them completely natural, non-invasive, and drug-free. Our methods include techniques for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of musculoskeletal injuries, especially any injury or degeneration that affects the spinal column. Because our regimen is different for every patient, your particular treatments may vary from instrument-assisted spinal adjustments to massage therapy and nutritional counseling.

Here at Laurelhurst Chiropractic in Portland, OR, our goal is always to locate the source of any pain or discomfort you’re experiencing and then target it to reduce inflammation and restore natural balance throughout your body. Chiropractic care involves manual, non-pharmaceutical techniques, such as manual spinal manipulation to realign the vertebrae or deep tissue massage to loosen tense muscles.

Common Conditions Treated by Our Team in Portland

Whether you want to relieve chronic pain, heal a sudden injury, or decrease your chances of future injuries or conditions, our comprehensive chiropractors will personalize a wellness program for you. Some of the conditions we treat include:

  • Back Pain – Our back pain treatment techniques include spinal adjustments to correct slipped or herniated discs and massage therapy to loosen tense back muscles
  • Neck Pain – Neck pain is a symptom of whiplash, spinal misalignment, anxiety, poor posture, and many other problems we help patients overcome with chiropractic neck pain treatment
  • Headaches – Migraines and tension headaches are often related to muscle tension in the neck or shoulders, which can be caused by misalignment or spinal injury
When to Seek Chiropractic Care

The right timeline for treatment depends on your specific injury or condition, but it’s important to seek care if your symptoms are recurring or getting worse. Some musculoskeletal injuries will persist for months or years because inflamed tissue makes it difficult for cells to regenerate and healing to start.

For example, repetitive injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome may get worse over time, as continued use of a computer prolongs the inflammation. Acute (sudden) injuries may also need help to heal properly, leading to long-term pain and mobility problems.

Sports injuries that cause back pain, neck pain, joint pain or muscle pain can benefit from chiropractic treatments. Consider the treatments after an injury caused by playing a sport.

Auto accidents can cause problems like whiplash or general back pain that persists for months. Treatment with a professional provider in our clinic can help address the symptoms of whiplash or related auto accidents so that you can heal without putting unnecessary stress on your neck or back.

That’s why it’s so important to seek chiropractic care instead of continuing to cover up the pain with short-term solutions. After your medical doctor has ruled out any injuries or conditions that may require medical treatment, make an appointment with our comprehensive chiropractors in Portland, OR.

Benefits of Regular Wellness Care

Why should you choose chiropractic care as a treatment option? Well, it’s an all-natural wellness approach that involves hands-on techniques. Instead of treating individual symptoms with quick fixes like painkillers, your chiropractor uses your symptoms to diagnose the specific injury that caused them. We take your whole body into account, as well as your diet, posture, work environment, and anything else that can help us narrow down the source of your symptoms.
