Dr. Watson's office if you decide to come in as a result of a painful or
distressing condition.
Wellness Care: For

top
-
Dr Watson has completed over 1000
hours of professional education in examination of the human body,
and continues to stay current with the ever changing field of
healthcare by attending various seminars, conferences, and
classes. He believes in spending as much time as necessary to
arrive at the correct diagnosis. Generally the first visit to
the office is a half an hour, although every patient has different needs and
sometimes the first visit may last last longer. On
occasion Dr. Watson may reschedule you for further evaluation or
refer you for tests outside our facility (blood tests, MRI, CT scan,
Bone Scan, etc.) or refer you to another specialty doctor
(Neurologist, Orthopedist, Cardiologist, etc).
X-Ray
Examination back to top
-
Chiropractors receive an incredible, in-depth,
education in radiology (the study of X-ray) because it is a tool
that is utilized very often in a chiropractors office. Dr.
Watson has a onsite x-ray facility that is state of the art with
high speed film processing so the film is available for Dr. Watson's
review in as little as 90 seconds after taking the film.

Spinal and Extremity Adjusting back to top

postgraduate training in the Gonstead
method of hands on adjusting and that does not include the
thousands of hours he received at Palmer
Chiropractic University. In addition, he was the Gonstead
Club Secretary at Palmer Chiropractic University and taught the

worked with several hockey teams and has been the tournament
physician for the Oregon State Ta-Kwon-Do tournament at Portland
State University. He has worked with the Oregon Ballet Theatre
as well..
Nutritional evaluation
and recommendations back to top
- In most cases a patient needs proper nutrients to restore
health. A patient may have a lack of sulfate in the body
causing a loss joint and ligament health or It could be a lack of
riboflavin causing numbness, tingling, or a lack of energy.
Nutrient deficiencies a vary from patient to patient. I recommend supplementation to all my patients, whether it
be a general multi to a specific glandular product to support the
liver function. I will evaluate you to determine what nutritional support will aid
in your return to health.
Maintenance spinal care back to top
- Regular care over a lifetime is prevention. Spinal
misalignments can cause degeneration and dysfunction without ever
giving you an alarm of pain. With regular care you are
afforded the best assurance possible in keeping your spinal column
fit and free of misalignment. In doing so you increase overall
physical, mental, and emotional performance and feel more connected
in general. I recommend maintenance spinal care once per week
to once per month depending on your lifestyle. Less often and
your at risk for spinal degeneration unnecessarily occurring.
Exercise programs back to top
- Exercise programs for wellness are different than that for
rehabilitation. Dr. Watson will help you create your own
exercise for wellness program. From at-home programs to
personal training, Dr. Watson will assist you with your individual
fitness objectives.
