A Holistic Approach to Health at UWS Health Center

Located at the Western States University, the UWS Health Center distinguishes itself by offering a comprehensive, "Connected and Whole" approach to patient care.

This unique model allows the clinic to deliver high-quality healthcare, including chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy, sports medicine, and nutritional counseling, at very low or no cost to the community. The center is committed to making health services accessible to everyone while fostering the next generation of healthcare providers.

Personalized and Thorough Patient Assessments

Patients consistently highlight the exceptional attention to detail and the personalized nature of the care they receive. The clinical team is known for taking the time to understand the patient as a whole person, considering family health history, daily habits, and specific treatment goals before recommending any course of action. Reviews frequently mention that the staff is attentive, caring, and thorough, avoiding rushed appointments and ensuring that every option is explained clearly. This supportive environment helps patients feel truly heard and cared for, rather than just another number.

Effective Rehabilitation and Pain Management

Many testimonials speak to the effectiveness of the treatments in alleviating chronic pain and aiding recovery. Patients have reported significant improvements in back pain, knee issues, wrist pain, and headaches, often regaining the ability to perform activities they had to pause due to discomfort.

Fantastic experience: Really great staff and program to helped me rehabilitate my injuries through soft tissue treatments and some physical therapy work.

Yiyi Lewis Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I went into the clinic with debilitating lower back pain coupled with knee pain. Dr. Piper and Dr. Moreau along with their team of student doctors have completely got rid of my back pain and have decreased my knee pain severity by 90%. I can now get back to the activities that I had to put on hold for a while because of these issues I had with my body. PLEASE come here! Everyone from the front to the back are also very personable, sweet, caring, attentive, detailed, and really makes you feel taken care of instead of having rushed. 10/10 for the months that I have received my treatments.

Negative experience: Will never go back. This place charges more than any other office in Portland and take 3x the length of time. The interns have to ask for permission to do anything and their “boss” is always disappearing on them. Go see a chiropractor who will get you 20 minutes of treatment during your 20 minute appointment instead of 3 minutes of treatment in 60 minutes.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful Doctors and interns here. They helped my wrist pain and headaches. I don’t think I ever really experienced what chiropractic was until I came here. They are so thorough, they look at you as whole person, look into your family health history, your daily habits everything to help you improve your symptoms and your life. They ask what your goals are for treatment, they never pressure you into a specific treatment and they tell you all of your options for treatment before getting started. The front desk is also so professional, kind and friendly.

Fantastic experience: What an awesome staff and team of care givers. Amazing energy.

James Schick Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I was recommended to this facility, specifically Dr. Bergstrom, for their sliding scale chiropractic clinical care. Since starting in the doctor, students, and staff have been unfailingly professional, pleasant, and well-trained. The facility itself, while slightly tight on parking, is adjacent to a beautiful campus and is well maintained. X-rays were done on-site, everything was very quick and the equipment seemed well cared for and fairly new. Highly recommended for anyone in need of chiropractic care and currently lacking insurance or employment.

Fantastic experience: See Dr. Ondick, best patient care I've ever experienced. Also, very knowledgeable about holistic conservative health-care

Tyrel Johnson Published on Google

Fantastic experience: In my opinion this is the top chiropractic school in the U.S. It's chiropractic program and masters degrees are challenging. They produce passionate, well educated, top tier doctors. The facilities are old but well kept and cared for. If looking for a good chiropractor or to be trained to become one, choose this place.

Bettie Hutchinson Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I've been going here for many years to get my chiropractic needs met. I think they are awesome.

Eric Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Sure, you're a guinea pig for students to try out their training on a real body, but they are friendly, professional, and surprisingly non-aggressive when it comes to dealing with painful back problems. I expected the whole contort the body until it cracks scenario, but instead they worked to relax the muscles until the real treatment began. They use means-based payments, which means even if you don't make a great deal of money or have insurance, they may find a way to treat you that you can afford.

Alyssa Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I love this place. Not only is it vital to helping shape the next generation of chiropractors, I have honestly never met people more compassionate at what they do. Everyone is genuinely nice, loves what they do and helps you understand any/all of your issues while they set up a treatment plan! I have being going for months now for shoulder pain and now SI joint problems and I feel immensely better after every session (especially if I keep up with the easy at-home exercises!)

Jared Ball Published on Google
