About Summit Spine & Wellness
Portland's trusted chiropractic clinic since 2008
Patient-First Care
Every treatment plan starts with listening. We take the time to understand your symptoms, your lifestyle, and your goals before recommending a path forward.
Evidence-Based Treatment
Our methods are grounded in peer-reviewed research and clinical best practices. We combine traditional chiropractic techniques with modern rehabilitative science.
Whole-Body Approach
We look beyond the point of pain. Posture, movement patterns, nutrition, and stress all play a role in spinal health, and we address them all.
Community-Focused
From youth sports teams to senior wellness workshops, we invest in Portland's health beyond the clinic walls. Your community is our community.
Our Journey
We start with a thorough conversation about your health history, current symptoms, and wellness goals. This helps us understand the full picture before any examination begins.
A comprehensive physical examination including posture analysis, range-of-motion testing, neurological screening, and diagnostic imaging when needed to identify the root cause of your condition.
We explain our findings in plain language and present a clear, personalized treatment plan with expected timelines, visit frequency, and measurable goals for your recovery.
Regular adjustments and therapies tailored to your progress, with periodic reassessments to ensure you're on track. Many patients transition to wellness maintenance care once their initial condition resolves.
