Evolution Healthcare and Fitness offers specialized sports chiropractic care led by Certified Chiropractic Sports Physicians (CCSP) and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialists (CSCS). 

What we love about their approach is their focus on education and providing a wide range of exercises tailored to each patient’s needs. 

One patient, who was into bikes and trails, had a knee injury. He was happy with their in-depth knowledge of physiology and curated exercises for his specific needs. 

They also come highly recommended by an 82-year-old athlete who has been into competitive sports since 4th grade. He got a hip injury from a cycling accident and learned so much about how the body works after the treatment. 

Another highlight is that Evolution doesn’t require contracts, so you only pay for the care you need when you need it. 

That said, there are a few things to consider. Due to the clinic’s reputable services, booking an appointment can be challenging, so it’s best to schedule in advance. 

Additionally, one patient with an SI joint injury experienced some discomfort during a session with a referred runner specialist and ended up going to a different facility. 

Evolution helped me understand chiropractic care. 

“My Chiropractor, Adam, has changed my whole attitude about Chiropractic. He is very knowledgeable and approaches his work with professionalism and a great attitude.”

My pain all healed within a few weeks!

“Full body care under 1 roof, the gym is as extensive as it could be with equipment for weight training/ SAQ etc.. I find it good for climbing, trail running and other mountain specific training, specially when combining altitude gym!

I have visited few practitioners here over the years, Dr. Brad Farra for chiropractic needs on ankle instability/ lower back/ neck pains.. all healed within few weeks of proper care and rehab exercises prescribed. Brad has tried to understand the problem and why it may be happening before jumping into fixing it, that has meant taking scans/ xrays (if needed) and even learning daily habits that might be affecting the problem area.”

Hosmer Chiropractic Health is known for its Active Release Technique (ART), which targets soft tissue injuries. Unlike traditional chiropractic care that primarily focuses on the skeletal system, ART emphasizes muscle treatment.

One triathlete recovering from an Achilles injury incurred during Hood to Coast praised Hosmer for helping him recover while teaching him techniques to stay active.

What stands out most is its state-of-the-art facility. It’s a clean, comfortable space with foam rollers, X-ray machines, and advanced chiropractic tables. This setup ensures effective treatment and makes patients feel welcome and at ease.

Another highlight is its comprehensive range of treatments. They cater to pregnant individuals, non-sports-related injuries, and even patients who have undergone chemotherapy.

One breast cancer survivor with severe swelling and mobility restrictions shared how Hosmer’s care significantly improved her well-being.

However, there are a few concerts to keep in mind. Some patients feel they are upsold services beyond what’s necessary, leading to higher expenses.

A few patients also reported feeling dismissed, with concerns not being properly addressed.

Hosmer is approved by moms! Job well done on chiropractic,

I can’t recommend this place more! I started going while I was pregnant and received the best prenatal care. I get massage and chiropractic there and I love every person I’ve seen! They are informative, kind, caring, and professional! Highly recommend

I felt validated and gained valuable tips for a healthy lifestyle!

Dr. David genuinely prioritizes both your physical and mental well-being. He actively listens to your concerns and offers kind, compassionate feedback. He handles your body with care while effectively addressing your needs. When you expressed your feelings and worries, he reassures you, providing a sense of validation and relief. Despite not being very active, he offered valuable tips and resources tailored to my lifestyle. I eagerly anticipate my next appointment with him.

Clearwater Clinic is a top choice for pelvic floor therapy and myofascial release (MFR). These treatments are great for runners, as the repetitive impact can strain muscles and lead to dysfunction.

MFR also enhances flexibility, making it a valuable addition to an athlete’s recovery routine.

One runner, frustrated at not being able to run, praised Cearwater for their excellent work in helping him get back to running at full speed.  

What also amazed us is how Clearwater works on menstrual cramp relief. One bodyworker shared that after completing six pelvic floor sessions, she experienced significantly fewer cramps or none at all.

We also love the team’s supportive nature. Their chiropractor is gentle and explains jargon in layman’s terms, which is especially helpful for those new to sports. One beginner runner also appreciated the practical tips and exercises Clearwater provided.

However, it’s worth noting that the clinic is not perfect. One patient reported inattentive office staff, which left them feeling uneasy.

Clearwater is a go-to place for all running injuries!

Dr. Baisinger is my go to for just about every kind of issue/injury. He’s helped me deal with all kinds of running injuries for literally decades. He sees the big picture so well and it amazing at identifying what the actual problem is, which isn’t always where the pain is.

I was relieved from my pain, thanks Clearwater!

Dr. Baisinger is great. I was really nervous about my first consultation, having never been to a chiropractor and having heard several horror stories about shady practices that my friends have visited, but could not have been happier with the experience. He was able to identify the source of my pain and alleviate a substantial amount of my discomfort on the first visit. By the third visit, I was back at about 100%. The entire staff is warm and professional, and I was able to be treated each time in less than an hour. If you’re experiencing any sort of back pain or discomfort, I would definitely recommend making an appointment!

Element Wellness & Sports Rehabilitation has been serving as the official chiropractic clinic for Portland Timbers FC and the Portland Thorns FC since 2013. 

We love their commitment to patients’ rehabilitation and overall wellness. In addition to chiropractic adjustments, they offer other specialized methods, such as Kinesiology Tape, Active Release Technique (ART), and the modern method of cupping. 

Our favorite thing is their thorough approach to diagnosing injury and movement dysfunction through the Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA). This tool analyzes 7 movement patterns that we do daily to understand how the body responds to pain.  

We’re impressed by the clinic’s exceptional care—one patient shared how their comprehensive and professional approach, including thorough assessments, personalized adjustments,and insightful guidance—left her back feeling almost 1000% better after just one visit. 

Element accepts flexible payment options and chiropractic insurance plans. However, it’s best to verify your benefits coverage before scheduling an appointment. 

However, one customer reported dissatisfaction with disorganized service and challenges in scheduling an appointment, apparently due to change of staff. We hope this is something they will improve to ensure consistency in their quality of service. 

Element transformed years of pain into relief—truly a life saver!

“An outstanding experience all around. I highly recommend seeing Dani Boorman. She was able to quickly identify and effectively tackle my posture, core, and breathing issues that had plagued me for over a decade. Through a series of prescribed exercises and in-clinic bodywork, I’m now able to breathe properly and stand without constant back pain. She’s a life saver!”

More than just a quick fix—personalized care that truly relieves pain!

“There are a lot of chiropractic offices to go get your bones cracked but this one is a far different experience than any I’ve ever been. All of the other chiropractors I’ve used in the metro run in and crack your back and you’re done in five minutes and they want you to book your next appointment and make you feel like a farm animal. This office has doctors that take their time to listen and then investigate the cause of pain and prepare a plan to correct the issues. I was given specific movements and stretches to perform daily and my severe pain was completely gone after two visits over two weeks supplemented by stretching. I highly recommend this place.”

The DOT Exam Center is a place we trust for its well-experienced Chiropractic Sports Physicians—treating Olympic swimmers, boxers, ice skaters and professional golfers for over 30 years.

They often work as a team to provide comprehensive care. For instance, one patient praised their expertise, sharing how one doctor focused on his lumbar and hip areas while another addressed his thoracic, neck, and jaw regions. 

This collaborative approach ensures that each area of concern is treated effectively. 

This patient felt more physically capable and confident about frequenting the clinic and following the suggested training regimen instead of undergoing operations.

We also love how easy it is to schedule an appointment in their office. Patients have testified that everyone, from the front desk to the doctors, is very welcoming and caring. They’ve shown genuine concern for the patient’s wellness.

We also believe that young athletes can have a comfortable experience visiting DOT’s doctors. One patient with a knee injury, along with her 14-year-old athlete daughter who had back issues, left the clinic pain-free and with a list of helpful stretching regimens.

The only area we think they could improve is their slightly outdated office, which we think would create a more appealing and welcoming experience for both old and new patients.

The doctors and staff are amazing at Hollywood Chiropractic. They do their job well and help you to feel better physically and emotionally with the encouragement they give. I have gone there for years and recommend them highly.

Outstanding customer service received by all office staff at all time. The doctors expertise, bedside manner and care has relieved me from all pain and I have resumed doing all of the activities that the neck and back pain prevent me from. The Dr. always make room in her schedule for  urgent appointment needs. I whole heartedly recommend Dr Annette’s clinic!
