Dr. Power  Asks some important questions of interest to Portland residents - Chiropractor Portland Dr. Power Asks...

If you have a fever, are you sick or healthy?
Chiropractors love asking this question because it gets to the root of the chiropractic difference. Turns out fevers, vomiting, coughing and even sneezing are all healthy responses. It means your body is working correctly. Taking medications to suppress these natural processes can actually prolong your recovery.
Would you rather feel good or be healthy?
Ask most people in Portland and they want to feel good. Careful! Would you take medicine that makes you feel good, rather than vomit to expel improperly prepared food? Every chiropractic practice member knows that you can't measure your health by how you feel. True health is when your body works as it should.

Your First Visit to Our Portland Practice

You will be warmly welcomed and made to feel at home. Help is on its way!

When you enter Lifeworks Chiropractic Center, you will be welcomed by our warm and helpful staff, given a tour and be asked to complete some brief paperwork.

You will then have plenty of time to meet with the doctor to discuss your concerns, learn about care at our office and have all your questions answered.

Once you feel comfortable, the doctor will perform a complete spinal exam (patients remain fully clothed) and explain any important findings. You will also experience your first GENTLE adjustment and receive personalized recommendations for your care.

Generally, there is no need for x-rays or further lab tests. Your initial visit will take approximately 1-hour. Please wear soft, loose, comfortable clothing.

Occasionally, the doctor will need to have a follow-up visit to adjust you a second time before making any recommendations for your care. In that case your second visit will simply consist of a second relaxing adjustment, followed by recommendations for care.
