Book an Appointment

Initial Visit

To streamline your visit, we ask that you complete our Patient Intake Form online before your appointment or upon arrival using our clinic kiosk. This form provides essential details about your health history, current condition, and injury specifics to ensure you receive the most effective chiropractic care.

Comprehensive Chiropractic Consultation

During your initial visit, our experienced chiropractor will discuss your injuries, symptoms, concerns, and treatment goals. Whether you’re recovering from a motor vehicle accident, sports injury, or dealing with chronic neck and back pain, this consultation helps us create a personalized care plan tailored to your needs.

Digital x-Ray Imaging

For patients with auto accident injuries, whiplash, or severe back pain, X-rays may be taken to identify underlying issues such as listhesis (vertebral misalignments), signs of ligament stability, fractures, disc degeneration, and bone spurs. These diagnostic images help us develop the most effective treatment strategy for your recovery. Radiographs can also be useful for postural analysis, ruling out more concerning pathology, determining extent of scoliosis, and diagnosing osteoporosis. Radiographs are also useful to precisely measure abnormalities in postural inclination, sacral base angle, and leg length inequality. Accurate measurements can help us better tailor treatment to your needs.

Report of Findings

Once we review your medical history, exam results, and X-rays, our chiropractor will provide a detailed diagnosis and treatment recommendations. We’ll discuss the best course of action to relieve pain, restore mobility, and promote long-term spinal health.

Chiropractic Adjustments & Therapy

Your first treatment session may include chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, spinal decompression, laser therapy, electrotherapy IFC, or rehabilitative exercises to alleviate pain and improve function. We ensure that every treatment is explained allowing you to communicate any concerns throughout the session.

Holistic Wellness & Rehabilitation Plan

Beyond in-clinic treatments, we develop a customized wellness plan tailored to your recovery and overall health. This may include stretching routines, strengthening exercises, postural corrections, ergonomic advice, and at-home pain management techniques to support your healing process.

Insurance & Payment Options

Navigating insurance can be overwhelming, but we are here to help. Our clinic accepts most health insurance plans, auto accident claims, and personal injury protection (PIP) coverage. Contact our office at (503) 650-2394 to verify your benefits or discuss payment options.

Flexible Spending & Health Savings Accounts (HSA/FSA)

Many employers offer Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) or Health Savings Accounts (HSA) to cover medical expenses, including chiropractic care, X-rays, orthotics, and rehabilitation therapy. Speak with your employer to see how you can take advantage of these benefits.

At Gentle Care Chiropractic, we are committed to helping you recover from auto accident injuries, sports-related pain, and chronic spinal conditions. Book your appointment today and take the first step toward a pain-free and healthier life!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is chiropractic care?

Chiropractic care is a natural approach to health that supports the body’s ability to heal by restoring balance between the muscular, skeletal, and nervous systems. It promotes overall wellness by ensuring these systems work together efficiently.

Chiropractors primarily treat musculoskeletal conditions, particularly those affecting the spine, by using a variety of techniques like spinal manipulation and adjustments to relieve restrictions and improve function. They commonly treat low back pain, neck pain, headaches, and joint pain, but also address other conditions like whiplash, sciatica, and even some sports-related injuries.

‍Conditions Commonly Treated by Chiropractors:

Back and Neck Pain: Chiropractors use adjustments and manipulations to relieve pain and improve function, especially in the lower and upper back, and neck.

Headaches: Chiropractic care can help reduce the frequency and severity of tension headaches and migraines by addressing underlying spinal misalignments.

Joint Pain: Chiropractors can help manage pain and improve mobility in joints like the knees, hips, shoulders, and elbows, especially in cases of osteoarthritis.

Whiplash: Chiropractors can help restore neck and back function after whiplash injuries sustained in car accidents.

‍Sciatica: Chiropractic adjustments can help relieve pain caused by sciatic nerve compression, which can radiate from the back down the legs.

‍Sports Injuries: Chiropractors can help treat sprains, strains, and joint issues resulting from sports activities.

‍Other Conditions: Chiropractors may also address carpal tunnel syndrome, scoliosis, and even some digestive issues.

A chiropractic adjustment is a safe, natural technique used to restore proper movement to spinal joints that are restricted in motion. By applying a gentle, targeted force to specific areas of the spine, chiropractors help reduce tension, improve range of motion, relieve pressure on the nervous system, and support the body’s natural healing process. The result? Improved spinal function, reduced pain, and promote better overall health and wellness.

‍Chronic Pain: Chronic pain may require a more long-term approach, potentially including ongoing maintenance visits to manage symptoms and prevent flare-ups. 

Maintenance Care: After the initial treatment phase, maintenance care may involve less frequent visits, such as once a week or even every other month, depending on your individual needs.

Once your treatment plan is ready, your chiropractor will guide you through your first adjustment. You’ll lie on an adjustment table (some parts may tilt or “drop” to help us reach target areas), and we’ll apply quick, short, precise force to the affected joints.Yes, you might hear a few pops or cracks, totally normal! That’s just those trapped gases releasing. It’s a bit like cracking your knuckles, but with a purpose (and a license). Most people feel relief pretty quickly. You might be a little sore for a day or so afterward, like you hit the gym for the first time in a while, but that typically fades fast with most patients experiencing lasting relief.
