Comprehensive Chiropractic Services in Portland
We provide proven, safe, and effective chiropractic strategies to meet your needs. By incorporating in-clinic care with tailored lifestyle guidance and proactive insight, your plan will help you thrive now and well into the future.
Some of the chiropractic services we offer include:
Soft Tissue Therapies
Our soft tissue manipulations help improve the health of compromised tissues and provide strength and flexibility to reduce the risk of re-injury.
Some of the soft tissue therapies we offer include:
- Active Release Technique (ART): Using hands-on manipulation and active participation from the patient, this method relieves adhesions and other restrictions as correct movement patterns are recovered
- Myofascial release: This massage technique releases muscle tension by targeting trigger points (painful areas) using gentle and sustained pressure
- Neuromuscular therapy: Applying pressure to specific pain points within the soft tissues will relieve pressure, promote blood flow, and reduce pain
- Graston Technique: This manual therapy uses tools that glide over affected tissues, helping break down scar tissue, heal injuries, improve mobility, and reduce pain
- Deep tissue massage: A massage technique that focuses on deeper muscle stimulation to encourage circulation, recovery, and proper function
Chiropractic Adjustments or Spinal Manipulations
Chiropractic adjustments are manipulations made to specific joints. While most think of the facet joints (the spinal joints) when considering adjustments, they can be made to almost any joint within the body.
Whether manually or using a chiropractic device, an adjustment typically consists of a quick and controlled thrust to a misaligned joint, returning it to optimal position. This process reduces discomfort and encourages balance and function.
Modalities we provide include:
- Diversified Technique: Using manual, quick, targeted force to a joint, this method re-establishes movement and alignment
- Gentle mobilizations: Using controlled movements, we can help you achieve comfort as joint function is restored
- Instrument-assisted manipulations: We utilize specialized instruments to help recover correct joint positions for areas hard to reach or patients who require more intensity or less intensity than manual adjusting
- Drop-table adjustments: These tables are designed to move in targeted areas as the patient lies still, reducing force and impact on the body
Rehabilitative Exercises
Using screening protocols that analyze functional movement patterns, we create precise physical rehabilitation and corrective exercise programs that focus on strength and stabilization, which contribute to efficient movement and optimized function.
Modalities we provide include:
- Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS): We use various exercises and mobility strategies that retrain the body’s movement patterns
- McKenzie Method: Once the underlying mechanical issue is found, this method uses education to empower the patient to care for their body proactively
- Weightlifting: Using a custom weightlifting program, you will regain strength and flexibility
- Functional movement: We will find and address imbalances and dysfunction that cause pain to improve how you perform routine tasks
Gait Analysis
Dr. Zander is certified in Functional Gait Assessment, which provides a meticulous analysis of how you walk and run. This allows us to determine the cause of improper mechanics that contribute to foot, ankle, knee, hip, and lower back pain.
Leg & Foot Evaluation
Dr. Zander is certified in Advanced Ankle and Foot Assessment and Treatment. He provides expert evaluation and care for the foot, ankle, and leg. His approach emphasizes functional footwear and improving mobility and overall foot and ankle function.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture offers a natural, drug-free way to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and restore energy flow. It targets pressure points to promote healing and enhance overall wellness. This holistic approach supports the body’s balance and recovery.
Massage Therapy
Our expert massage therapy complements chiropractic care by relieving muscle tension, improving circulation, and enhancing mobility. It supports faster recovery, reduces stress, and prepares the body for adjustments.
This integrative approach helps restore balance, ease chronic pain, and promote long-term wellness in a comfortable, therapeutic environment.
