Why they make the drive
Why Southwest Portland patients come to West Linn
Southwest Portland is the far end of our service area, and patients from John's Landing, Multnomah Village, Hillsdale and Burlingame still make the drive. Macadam Avenue becomes Highway 43 and runs straight through Lake Oswego to our door; if you are closer to I-5, take it south to I-205 and exit at West Linn. Either route is about 22 to 30 minutes, which is less than crossing town to many east-side clinics.
The roads that bring Southwest Portland patients to us are the same ones on Portland's High Crash Network: Barbur Boulevard, Capitol Highway, Terwilliger and the I-5 curves. A rear-end collision in the Terwilliger curves at rush hour is one of the most common crash stories we hear. Oregon PIP covers your treatment here regardless of fault, and we bill your auto insurer directly.
What makes the drive worthwhile is what happens when you arrive: chiropractic, massage, physical therapy, laser and SoftWave shockwave in one building, coordinated by one team, without the cost of an in-city specialist.
- A single, coordinated plan across chiropractic, massage, physical therapy, laser and shockwave.
- Auto injury care billed directly to PIP after crashes on Barbur, I-5 or Capitol Highway.
- SoftWave shockwave therapy, which few Portland clinics offer.
- Bilingual care for Portland's Spanish-speaking families. Hablamos español.
- Free parking on Willamette Drive; no meters, no garage.

Questions Southwest Portland patients ask
Which route from Southwest Portland is fastest?
From John's Landing, Macadam Avenue becomes Highway 43 and runs straight through Lake Oswego to us; it is scenic and avoids the freeway. From Multnomah Village, Hillsdale or Burlingame, I-5 South to I-205 South and the West Linn exit is usually quicker. Plan on 22 to 30 minutes either way.
Why drive to West Linn when there are chiropractors in Southwest Portland?
Most Portland chiropractic offices are single-service. Our patients come for the combination: adjustments, medical massage, physical therapy, Class IV laser and SoftWave shockwave in one building, on one treatment plan, with a team that coordinates every visit. After a car accident, that coordination is what gets you better faster and keeps your PIP claim documentation clean.
I was hit on Barbur Boulevard. What should I do before I see you?
Report the crash to your insurer, exchange information with the other driver, photograph the vehicles and get a copy of the police report if one was filed. Then call us. You do not need a referral, and you do not need to wait for the insurance company to approve anything; Oregon PIP covers your first visit automatically.
Do you offer shockwave therapy for Portland patients?
Yes. SoftWave shockwave therapy at our West Linn clinic treats plantar fasciitis, rotator cuff and shoulder tendinitis, tennis and golfer's elbow, Achilles tendonitis, knee cartilage and meniscus pain, muscle and ligament injuries, and disc-related back pain. Treatment starts with a trial visit to confirm you are a good candidate. Sessions are $150 to $300 depending on the area, with package discounts and financing, and PIP covers shockwave after a car accident.
