Portland Chiropractor Offers Hope and Healing

At 120 Chiropractic, we take a holistic, whole-person approach to care—focused on identifying and addressing the root causes of dysfunction by correcting subluxations in the spine and extremities. These subtle shifts can place stress on the nervous system, disrupting the body's natural ability to heal and repair optimally.

To support your body's innate intelligence and self-healing capacity, we combine precise chiropractic adjustments with complementary therapies such as homeopathy, lifestyle coaching, and integrative wellness strategies.

We utilize advanced diagnostic technologies, including thermography and on-site digital X-rays, to thoroughly assess and monitor your nervous system throughout your care. These tools allow us to deliver targeted adjustments to the spine and extremities that help restore nervous system integrity and promote more effective healing and recovery.

As a result, many patients experience significant improvements in sleep, energy levels, pain relief, mobility, and even long-standing health concerns—often noticing transformative changes as they progress through their customized corrective care plans.

At our practice, we focus on identifying the root cause of your health challenges rather than simply addressing symptoms. Our core philosophy is that the body is inherently self-healing and self-regulating. Because the spine and nervous system are the primary control centers of the body, we pay close attention to their function to understand why your body may not be performing at its best. We take a whole-body, whole-life approach to uncover what might be contributing to your health concerns. That's why we begin with a comprehensive evaluation of your spine and nervous system. Based on our findings, we develop a personalized care plan that includes precise corrections to the spine and/or extremities, designed to help your body relax and function more effectively—naturally. Your progress is regularly assessed throughout your care to ensure we're effectively restoring proper function to your spine and nervous system. This helps us support long-term improvements in your health and well-being.

Yes. We incorporate homeopathic remedies to support the gentle, specific chiropractic adjustments you receive. Each remedy is thoughtfully selected to align with your unique constitution and address the specific imbalances present in your body. These remedies are designed to complement the corrections we make to your spine and/or extremities, all with the goal of enhancing the function of your nervous system and supporting your overall well-being.

When the spine and extremities are not properly aligned, it creates excessive stress within the nervous system. Since your nervous system is the master controller of every function in your body—including brain activity that influences anxiety, energy levels, and sleep—this stress can have widespread effects. By improving nervous system function through precise chiropractic adjustments, the entire body begins to work more efficiently. Many of our patients report sleeping better, feeling more energized, and being able to do things they haven't been able to do for years before starting care in our office.

No matter what brings you to our office, we begin with a thorough evaluation of your spine, extremities, and nervous system. This helps us understand how your body is functioning and how we can support your body's natural healing processes more effectively. Patients seek our care for a wide range of concerns, including neck and back pain, arm and leg pain, disc issues, carpal tunnel syndrome, allergies, digestive problems, sleep disturbances, headaches and migraines, TMJ problems, injuries from car accidents or falls, work injuries, plantar fasciitis, scoliosis, fatigue and more.

We carefully assess how well your spine, extremities, and nervous system are working together, and we create a customized plan to specifically correct imbalances in those areas. Chiropractic adjustments are designed to enhance nervous system function, allowing your body to heal and recover more efficiently.

Every day, our bodies face stressors from gravity, environmental toxins, and emotional challenges. These stressors can impair the nervous system—the master regulator of all body functions. When the spine or extremities are misaligned, they interfere with this system, preventing your body from operating at its best. That's why, regardless of your initial concern, our goal is to restore proper alignment and improve your body's natural ability to heal itself.

Yes! We provide gentle, pediatric-friendly chiropractic care that supports the unique needs and sensitivity of developing nervous systems. Childhood is a critical time for growth and development, making chiropractic care especially important. During this stage, a child's nervous system is developing, and while they face the same physical, chemical, and emotional stressors as adults, their growing bodies are often more vulnerable to these challenges. Factors such as gravity, environmental toxins, and emotional stress can lead to subluxations in the spine and extremities (i.e. small shifts). These distortions place stress on the nervous system, disrupt its function, and may contribute to health issues that persist into adulthood.

By addressing these issues, chiropractic care helps support a healthier foundation for growth and development. Children who receive regular chiropractic care often experience fewer health challenges as they mature. Chiropractic can help with a range of concerns—including sleep disturbances, colic, digestive issues, developmental imbalances, growing pains, allergies, ear infections, colds, and sports injuries—in a natural, safe, and non-invasive way.

No, most chiropractic adjustments do not hurt. In fact, many patients report feeling significant relief during and after their sessions. It's common for our patients to tell us they look forward to their visits and feel better with each adjustment. Chiropractic care is designed to support your body's natural healing process, helping you recover, repair, and function more effectively. If you're considering care, don't wait—so many of our patients tell us that they wish that they had found us years ago. Call or reach out to us to find out if we can help you.

How often you'll need care depends on the current function of your nervous system, spine, and extremities. During your initial visit, we'll conduct a comprehensive evaluation to assess nervous system function and identify any subluxations in your spine or extremities (subtle shifts in the joints of your spine and/or extremities which can disrupt the function of your nervous system and lead to health problems). Based on this analysis, we'll design a personalized care plan tailored to your unique structure and needs. Our goal is to correct subluxations, restore proper function, and enhance your nervous system's ability to support your healing and overall wellness.

We accept a wide range of health insurances for reimbursement, including—but not limited to—Regence Blue Cross of Oregon, CareOregon, Providence, and Oregon Health Plan (OHP). We also work with many auto insurance and workers' compensation companies. Coverage and benefits vary depending on your specific insurance policy/plan, so we encourage all patients planning to use insurance for payment of their care to verify their chiropractic benefits directly with their insurance company before beginning care with our office.

Absolutely. Many of our patients do not have chiropractic coverage through their insurance provider, and we're happy to accommodate them. We offer time-of-service discounts, allowing you to receive care at a reduced rate when payment is made at the time of your visit. Our services are affordably priced, and we're committed to making quality care accessible to those who need it. If you have any questions about payment options, please don't hesitate to contact us—we're here to help and will work with you to find a solution that fits your budget.
