Review is due to location!…read more I've been dealing with severe neck pain for about two years and decided to try chiropractic care to see if it would help. Due to its convenient location, I visited The Joint Chiropractic in Slabtown. I wasn't aware of their membership/subscription model but decided to commit to the process. The membership includes four visits per month, and the appeal is that no appointments are necessary--just drop in when you have time. At my first visit, I met with a chiropractor who seemed knowledgeable and was very aggressive in his approach. He did get my neck to adjust, but I can't say I felt immediate relief. Still, I was willing to give it a chance. To ensure I used all four visits each month, I scheduled time on my calendar. However, I quickly realized that getting all my sessions in would be nearly impossible. Over three weeks, I dropped in five times but was only seen once because the office was frequently closed. One time, I even paid for parking--accidentally for four hours, costing me $15--only to find a "Closed" sign on the door. Another person arrived at the same time and was equally frustrated, so it was clearly a recurring issue. Additionally, the office has a lunch break when they are closed, making scheduling even more difficult. When I did manage to get in, I was surprised to see a different chiropractor each time. This meant I had to explain my situation repeatedly, and each session lasted only about 2-3 minutes. Over the course of my membership (May-December 2024), I was only seen about eight times due to the Slabtown location's inconsistent hours. On two occasions, I was able to visit other locations, and those experiences were fine--but constantly having to visit different providers felt ineffective. On a positive note, canceling my membership was easy. I simply emailed the company, and a helpful representative sent me a form. I returned it, and my membership was canceled the same day. Ultimately, my issues were specific to the Slabtown location. As of now, their Google Maps hours show them as being closed Sunday through Friday, only open on Saturdays, and still closed for lunch--so it seems their scheduling problems continue. If you're considering this location, I'd recommend looking elsewhere unless their hours improve and they can hire a committed and reliable chiropractor!

Simply amazing! My shoulder and arm was in terrible pain for weeks that woke me up during the night…read moreand had me taking ibuprofen and tylenol several times per day just to get through the pain. I went to my doctor and they did an ultrasound and took xrays, the did blood work, analyzed my mobility, and they couldn't find anything. Told me to take ibuprofen and tylenol for the pain and that was that. Thankfully, I was referred to Back To Life, and Ali specifically by my coach to whom I had been complaining due to the pain of various exercises. At this point I was so desperate for help and just didn't know what to do. This sounds made up, but after two sessions, the pain subsided. It still hurt, but it seemed as though it was improving. After three sessions, the pain no longer woke me up at night and I stopped wearing compression sleeves and took far less pain killers. After the fourth session, the pain just evaporated. It's been a couple of months now and there is absolutely no pain. I honestly cannot thank Dr. Ali Khoshbin enough. He quite literally took away the pain that I had been suffering from for weeks. Thank you so much!!!! /Spencer K. Hunter/

I didn't even believe in it until I reached a level of desperation on my shoulder and she's really a miracle worker. Acupuncturists have different techniques and her's is unmatched!! They also have great massage therapists - for actual therapeutic massage! If I was a spa massage, I'll go to a spa, but I'm here to feel better and stay better (not just relax). All that being said, the entire office is warm and welcoming including the front desk. I couldn't recommend Asula more and I've been to plenty of chiropractors and wellness centers!

The first appointment was canceled because staff didn't verify my insurance, the second was canceled about an hour before the appointment due to "an injury," neither of these issues were my problem. Had I canceled at the last minute, I would have been charged a missed appointment fee. I took time off work and drove to the opposite side of town for today's appointment--all for nothing. I will not be scheduling any more appointments as trust has been broken and I'm unwilling to continue taking time off work so the practice can cancel on my way there.

I unsuccessfully searched for a great chiropractor in the Portland area for six years before…read morefinally finding Dr. Shephard. I am a convert to the ArthroStim approach to adjustments, which have been painless and more effective, and, now, nearly 4 years later, my serious and debilitating injuries have nearly healed. Here's the story: I lost complete motor control of my left forearm and hand due to an unknown injury in my 20s compounded by years of working long hours at a computer. I'm a writer, and due to the injury, I could not type for 3 weeks. I went to a so-called guru in Tigard who did an experimental procedure that returned feeling to my hand, but, in the long run, it created more problems than it solved (also, he wouldn't take any responsibility for these new problems). Left out in the cold without a fix, I went to numerous other PDX chiropractors, masseuses, and specialists, and none of them seemed to understand that the problem extended from my jaw to my big toe and that it included nerve damage. During this 5-year period, my adjustments fell out constantly, almost always while flying. This was very inconvenient and painful. I needed a doctor who took a holistic approach. Dr. Shephard diagnosed the underlying problem to my condition on the first visit. He began to effectively heal it using the ArthroStim technique. I moved away from PDX after one year in Dr. Shephard's care. I found a chiropractor in my home who also uses the ArthroStim technique, and I have never relapsed since Dr. Shephard set me on the right healing path.

I was obese at the time, and was scared that someone may drop me, or that I wouldn't feel comfortable. After seeing him once, those fears were put to rest. He is professional and has a very calming demeanor. I always feel improvement after our visits. Highly recommended.

Kindest and most professional clinic :)…read more In August of 2023, I was a passenger in a MVA. I googled PI/ MVA Chiro/LMT clinics and found this place, which I chose b/c it was down the street from my house and so happy I did! First off, the ladies at the front desk are so nice! They are incredibly patient with your scheduling needs, cancellations, check-in's for appointments, etc. Second, I've had the pleasure to work with every LMT, who've I've absolutely enjoyed! I love the fact that they are all such individuals, with their their own personality and techniques. Before every appointment, they would ask "how are you feeling" and confirm any "problem spots". It always made me felt heard and while they have their own techniques, they always ask throughout the massage if your comfortable/in any pain/ etc. They always make sure you're warm with a heating pad, music, water, or want to try cupping. Lastly, I had the pleasure to briefly work with Dr. Sam, and then mostly with Dr. Julianne. At the beginning I was absolutely terrified of "chiro" work. She changed how I feel about it and I'm so grateful for her. She was extremely patient with my fear and taught me different levels of adjustments and what worked for me. Every appt she was so kind and tentative, while taking her time, by asking me q's about pain levels, mobility/flexibility. I've learned a lot about in clinic and at home PT and stretches, that I will continue to utilized on a daily base for on-going self care and strength. There was never an appointment that I felt rushed, or embarrassed or unknowing of my treatments or plans. Most important, I will continue to refer people I know. Thank you everyone! :)
