AccidentsComprehensive Chiropractic Care in NE Portland, OR
At Hazelwood Healthcare, we are a chiropractor in Portland, OR, that provides friendly, collaborative chiropractic care centered on reducing pain and restoring comfortable movement. Your visit starts with listening: we’ll learn what brought you in and what success looks like. A focused exam helps us understand the pattern behind your pain, whether it’s desk strain, a weekend tweak, or a recent injury.
We’ll outline options in plain language and build a treatment plan around your goals, with low-force options like mobilization, drop-table methods, or instrument-assisted adjustments. No twisting or “cracking” required if you don’t want it. Most people receive same-day care when appropriate.
We serve patients throughout East Portland, including the Hazelwood, Rockwood, and Wood Village neighborhoods. If you’re navigating insurance, a motor vehicle accident, or workers’ comp, we’ll help with documentation and coverage questions so billing never overshadows getting well.
Meet Your Portland Chiropractors
Dr. Daniel Capitano, DC, grew up in Portland and has practiced here since graduating from Western States Chiropractic College in 2002. He’s owned Hazelwood Healthcare since 2020 and has been called on as an expert witness in motor vehicle accident litigation because of his depth of experience with these cases.
Dr. Kelly Yakiwchuk, DC, has practiced in Portland for more than 23 years since graduating from the same program, treating everything from acute accident injuries to ongoing wellness care. Both doctors are trained in the Cox Technic, and you’ll always know which one you’re seeing and why. Meet the full care team.
Chiropractic, Massage, and Acupuncture All Under One Roof
Most independent chiropractic clinics in Portland offer exactly one thing: chiropractic care. Hazelwood Healthcare is different. We combine chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture, and massage therapy, including deep tissue massages for stubborn muscle tension as well as cold plunge and infrared sauna therapy, in one location, with one care team that talks to each other about your case.
That matters: if your neck pain comes from both a spinal misalignment and tight shoulder muscles, treating only one half gets you only half the relief. Your care team coordinates behind the scenes instead of sending you elsewhere for the rest of it. For disc-related pain, we’re also known for the Cox Method, a gentle, low-force flexion-distraction technique.

Accident & Injury Chiropractic in Portland, OR
After a motor vehicle accident or work injury, it’s common to feel sore, stiff, and overwhelmed by the next steps. Our dedicated auto accident chiropractic care makes recovery simpler: an initial exam, clear explanations, and a right-sized plan. We document your injuries, coordinate with benefits, and answer coverage questions, including PIP and workers’ comp details when applicable.
We pace treatment to your tolerance with realistic check-ins, so you know what “progress” looks like: fewer flare-ups, better range of motion, or returning to work and daily routines. If imaging or a referral would help, we’ll say so.
Proactive Wellness Chiropractic to Optimize Your Health in NE Portland
Wellness chiropractic is about feeling good in your body, not just “toughing it out.” If you sit at a computer, drive often, or stay active on weekends, small habits can add up to big discomfort. We create a practical plan to reduce pain and help you move with confidence.
Active patients often pair chiropractic care with our sports chiropractic options or recovery tools like infrared sauna, cold plunge, and contrast therapy between visits. Over time, many patients notice fewer flare-ups and more energy for the things they love.
Pregnancy and Pediatric Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care isn’t one-size-fits-all. We offer gentle pregnancy chiropractic care using specialized tables and positioning for every trimester, and age-appropriate pediatric chiropractic care for the aches that come with growth spurts, backpacks, and sports.
Chiropractor Portland OR FAQs
What happens at my first chiropractic visit?
We start by listening to your story and goals, then do a focused exam and outline options. Treatment often begins the same day, plus simple home tips to keep progress going.
I’m nervous about being “cracked.” Do you have subtler options?
Yes. Many patients prefer low-force care such as mobilization, drop-table, or instrument-assisted methods. We’ll review choices and move at your pace.
How many visits will I need?
It depends on your goals, the condition, and how your body responds. We set progress markers together and adjust frequency as you improve; no long, high-pressure packages.
Can you help after a car accident or work injury?
Yes. We treat MVA and workers’ comp cases, document injuries, and coordinate with benefits. Bring your claim number if you have it; if not, we’ll guide next steps.
Do you coordinate with massage or acupuncture?
We do. Chiropractic often pairs well with massage therapy, including deep tissue massages for tight muscles, and acupuncture for stress and pain modulation, with your care team collaborating behind the scenes.
What makes Hazelwood Healthcare the best chiropractor in Portland for me?
There’s no single “best” chiropractor for everyone as it depends on what feels right for your body. Patients tend to value over two decades of experience from Dr. Capitano and Dr. Yakiwchuk, chiropractic, massage, and acupuncture under one roof, honest referrals when another specialist fits better, and clear communication about your treatment plan.
