Physical Therapy in Portland
If you’ve tried exercises or traditional physical therapy and felt your body was never quite ready, you’re not alone. At 120 Chiropractic Inc., physical therapy is woven into your chiropractic care so your spine and joints are corrected first—then safely supported. Portland chiropractor Dr. Henre Andosca focuses on calming your nervous system, easing stress patterns, and helping your body feel stable before asking it to work harder. Instead of stretching or strengthening a joint that’s not well-aligned, we build steady progress that protects your corrections and supports long-term function, not just short-term relief.
How Physical Therapy Works in Our Office
Your plan begins with a careful evaluation of how your spine, extremities, and nervous system are working together. Digital X-ray imaging uses low-dose technology to clearly show your spine and joints, enabling us to plan precise, safe care. Thermography is a handheld scanner that measures heat variations along your spine to reveal areas of nerve tension and stress from vertebral subluxations.
- Gentle joint mobilization
- Focused soft-tissue work
- Balance and gait retraining
- Active range of motion exercises
- Core strength and stabilization exercises
Timing Matters—When and Why to Add Physical Therapy
Most people start with light movement early in care. As alignment improves and your nervous system settles, your body moves out of constant “alarm,” making it easier to hold corrections and add stretching and strengthening safely. For many patients, consistent care two or three times per week for around six to eight weeks is when they begin to notice meaningful change, though deeper structural correction takes much longer. We watch for nervous system stability first, then add specific exercises to ensure that your structure corrects long term.
