Services

We offer comprehensive treatments for a range of conditions as we are not only trained in Chiropractic and Physical Rehabilitation, but hold diplomates in Neurology with fellowships in Developmental Disorders of children and adolescents and Vestibular Rehabilitation. Combining multiple treatments allows us to target all the involved issues pertaining to your conditions. After all, we’re not just muscle, or bone, or nerves, but a combination of all three, with many more. This is how our patients achieve great success, by looking at the big picture.

Chiropractic Neurology

Chiropractic Neurology What sets our treatments apart from so many others is the incorporation of our deep understanding of the nervous system and how that translates into healing- it's not just about changing the structure but also changing the pathways that connect the structure to the brain. And it's this reconnection and reintegration that serve as the...

Chiropractic Neurology Rehabilitation

This form of rehabilitation is for those conditions which have both a musculoskeletal and functional neurologic component. This treatment is designed to comprehensively address the diagnosis from the root cause, not simply the symptoms. This ensures long term changes and reduces the risk of future injury or re-injury by retraining not only the joint and...

Concussion/Brain Injury/Post-Concussive Syndrome diagnosis and treatment

How can we diagnose what's causing your Concussion?  By evaluating the brain and nervous system in its entirety, we can localize regions that are dysfunctional and misrepresenting sensory information to the brain. Autonomic dysregulation is often seen in concussion and we perform careful evaluation of this potential involvement. Oxygen delivery to the...

Disc Herniation, Disc Bulges, Sciatica, Disc Degenerative Disease, Foot Drop and more

  Treatment of Discs and their structural consituents requires an in-depth understanding of the Musculoskeletal and Neurological system. As Diplomates in Neurology, we have extensive post-doctoral training in peripheral nerve and spinal cord pathology as they relate to Disc Injuries that result in Radiculitis, Neuritis, Sciatica, Disc Herniation, Disc...

Functional Neurology

What sets our back pain treatments apart from so many others is the incorporation of our deep understanding of the nervous system and how that translates into healing- it's not just about changing the structure but also changing the pathways with the brain and their connections to the body. And it's this reconnection and reintegration that serve as the...

Functional Neurology Rehabilitation

Functional Neurology Rehabilitation By evaluating the brain and nervous system in its entirety, we can localize regions that are dysfunctional and misrepresenting sensory information to the brain. Autonomic dysregulation is often seen in neurological patients and we perform careful evaluation of this potential involvement. Oxygen delivery to the brain is...

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is described as breathing increased amounts of oxygen within a pressurized environment, at a level higher than the average atmospheric pressure exerted at sea level (1 Atmosphere Absolute, ATA). When this occurs, a variety of physiological changes occur within our body that support healing. HBOT promotes improvement of...

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Concussion, Post-concussion Syndrome(PCS), Traumatic Brain Injury

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is described as breathing increased amounts of oxygen within a pressurized environment, at a level higher than the average atmospheric pressure exerted at sea level (1 Atmosphere Absolute, ATA). When this occurs, a variety of physiological changes occur within our body that support healing. HBOT promotes improvement of...

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: Breath. Heal. Rebuild. Restore.

The story of HBOT   We are made up of cells, these cells make up a tissue, which makes up an organ, which drives our body. Imagine legos that are little components of a larger structure that you might have played with as a child. The legos are our cells and the building, ship, etc that you built was the organ. These legos, or cells need energy to...

Migraine/Headache treatment

How can we diagnose what's causing your Migraine?  By evaluating the brain and nervous system in its entirety, but specifically along the trigeminovascular pathway, we can localize regions that are dysfunctional and misrepresenting sensory information to the brain. Autonomic dysregulation is a hallmark of Migraine dysfunction and we perform careful...

Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, or mHBOT is the medical use of oxygen in a pressurized environment at a level higher than 1 atmosphere absolute (ATA). Increased pressure allows for oxygen to dissolve and saturate more readily into our blood plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, synovial fluid and all liquids within our body (Henry's Law of Gases). This is...

Neck, Back, Hip, Arm and Leg Pain

Hypomobility, or loss of flexibilty and motion is the most common cause of pain. This happens through joint, muscle or disc injury through long-term chronic changes or injury. Hilton's Law states that the nerves innervate the joint and the muscles around that joint. This implies that in most conditions, the nerve, joint and muscle are involved, requiring...

Preventative Care

What is preventative care?  Many individuals choose to receive regular check-ups and treatments, staying proactive, rather than reactive.  It takes much less effort to maintain health than it does to achieve it.  Many are able to decrease medication usage, improve diet and nutrition, improve brain function, prevent injury and reduce chronic...

Referral to another provider

Co-treatment is an important aspect of the healthcare paradigm at Portland Chiropractic Neurology.  We are not always the appropriate treatment for your condition. Recognizing this is something that the medical profession does very well and is an excellent model of care- a team approach, which is at the core of our integrative approach at PCN. At our...
