Back Pain Relief in Portland
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people visit us. It often comes from long hours at a desk, lifting, running, or an old injury that never fully healed.
- Low back pain and muscle spasms
- Sciatica and pain down the leg
- Mid-back stiffness and rib pain
- Disc-related and postural pain
Acupuncture and dry needling ease pain and release deep muscles like the QL and glutes.
Chiropractic improves movement in stiff spinal and pelvic joints.
Massage relaxes guarding muscles so the relief lasts longer.
Neck Pain Treatment
Phones, laptops, and stress all load the neck. Over time, that strain can cause stiffness, headaches, and pain into the shoulder blade.
- Stiff neck and "tech neck"
- Neck pain after a car accident or whiplash
- Pain between the shoulder blades
- Neck-related tension headaches
Acupuncture calms irritated nerves and tight upper-trap and neck muscles.
Chiropractic restores motion in the cervical and upper thoracic spine.
Massage releases the neck, jaw, and upper back.
Shoulder Pain Treatment
Shoulder pain can limit reaching, lifting, sleeping, and sports. We assess how your shoulder blade, neck, and upper back move, not just the sore spot.
- Rotator cuff strain and tendon irritation
- Frozen or stiff shoulder
- Shoulder pain from lifting, climbing, or throwing
- Shoulder pain that comes from the neck
Dry needling and acupuncture target rotator cuff and trigger points.
Chiropractic improves shoulder blade, rib, and neck mechanics.

What to Expect at Your First Visit
