Our Services
Pediatric Chiropractic Care
Kids come into our clinic for all kinds of reasons, from posture issues related to phones and screens to younger babies who cry a lot, don’t like being held for long, or seem to have growing pains. Chiropractic care for kids uses much lighter force than adult care, since children’s joints and bones are still developing and move more freely. Dr. Harati uses very gentle mobilizations instead of the normal spinal adjustments used for adults. He spends time explaining things in a way kids can understand, so they’re not afraid of the process. Treatment often includes stabilization and activation exercises, along with guidance for parents on posture and movement habits at home.
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy works alongside chiropractic care to help release tight, overworked muscles and reduce tension that builds up around the spine and joints. It’s often used together with adjustments and mobilization, since loosening tight muscles first can help the body respond better to treatment and hold onto those improvements longer. Dr. Parham Harati uses massage as part of a bigger treatment plan for conditions like back pain, neck pain, and sciatica, targeting the specific muscles contributing to the problem. Combined with soft tissue techniques like active release and cupping, massage therapy helps patients feel relief faster and supports the exercises and adjustments, doing the rest of the work.
Arthritis Care
Arthritis comes in many forms, and osteoarthritis is the most common. It is a degenerative condition caused by wear and tear that can affect any joint, though it is most often felt in the hips, knees, lower back, or neck. Chiropractic care is safe and can help you manage arthritis without the dependency on medication or surgery. Treatment includes gentle adjustments, stretching, and strengthening exercises. We also recommend simple changes to your daily activities to reduce unnecessary stress on the joint.
Sports Injury Care
At True Chiropractic Portland, we have been providing athletic chiropractic care for more than a decade. Injuries can develop from sudden movements, repetitive strain, or collisions during your sport. At True Chiro Portland, we examine the affected joints, muscles, balance, and movement to understand what may be contributing to the problem. Sports injury chiropractic care comprises spinal adjustments, stretching, strengthening, and movement guidance to support recovery and a safe return to activity.
Functional Medicine
The main goal of functional medicine is to promote long-lasting wellness and prevent future health issues. During your initial visit, our chiropractors will first discuss your health history, lifestyle, diet, sleep, and stress levels. Based on your findings, lab testing may be recommended when appropriate to get a clearer picture of what is contributing to your symptoms. Treatment may include nutrition guidance, targeted supplements, lifestyle changes, and chiropractic care.
