Kelsall Chiropractic Clinic, PC

Dr. Kelsall has changed my life! I came to see her with chronic piriformis syndrome.
I had been seeing another chiropractic for years without relief. I am a Professional Nanny and I need to be able to move around with my kids.
She diagnosed me quickly and had a plan of attack. Within a week I had the relief I was chasing for so long. She also taught me exercises to help strengthen and stretch my problem areas. Her holistic approach of massage, chiropractic care, Graston technique and exercises gave me a well rounded approach to therapy.
A year later, I am pain free and only come in for regular «tune ups.» My body continues to respond to treatment and even self-​corrects, which a wonderful thing! Thank you Dr. Kelsall and team!

After my bad car accident I was referred to Dr. Weber for back pain and have been very impressed with my pain relief after six months. Thanks a lot doc!!!

Dr. Karen Kelsall is a miracle worker! I’ve had shoulder pain for as long as I can remember. It finally got to the point that I couldn’t move my arm and was just tired of being in so much pain all the time. After the first visit I had mobility back in my arm and the pain was decreasing. I came back for a few more visits and now I am completely pain free. I didn’t even know that I could feel this good after so many years with this issue. She was kind, helpful and honest about my treatment needs. I can’t wait to go back and get a message and adjustment.

After moving to Portland, I needed to find a new chiropractor. I’ve been using chiropractic care for years, first to address chronic bursitis in my right hip, then to address low back and sciatic issues.
Dr. Kelsall and her staff are friendly and professional. I like getting a mini– massage before an adjustment. Dr. Kelsall accommodates gentle adjustments if that’s what you prefer. She will also give you exercises to do to help keep trouble areas in alignment, but you have to ask.
Dr. Kelsall’s approach to chiropractic care is to treat any problem areas then get you on a maintenance program. I have to say I’m not totally sold on the idea of a monthly maintenance program. I prefer to be treated, given solutions of healing and strengthening the problem areas, and then seen 2 – 3 times a year. Right now I’m going monthly and going to a therapeutic yoga class. As my back continues to remain pain free, I am confident that Dr. Kelsall is open to working with me on scaling back the monthly appointments. That said, many people prefer more regular visits.
My initial visit was very relaxed. All my questions were answered. Dr. Kelsall has some fantastic massage therapists working out of her office. My more recent monthly visits have felt a bit more rushed. It seems like the massage therapist and Dr. Kelsall are always in a hurry.
Dr. Kelsall’s office gives a reminder call the day before your appointment, which is nice. The office is very conveniently located on 23^rd in the Northwest District. I always walk to my appointment. Dr. Kelsall works with another chiropractor colleague who fills in if she is out of the office.
Dr. Kelsall does not accept insurance, meaning her services are considered out-​of-​network. The receptionist will print an insurance claim for you to file yourself. Be aware that most insurance companies have two separate deductibles, one for in-​network and one for out-​of-​network claims.

I have been under the excellent care of Dr. Kelsall for over 10 years. Her office very relaxing and tranquil. Over the years Dr. Kelsall has treated me for many acute issues and wellness care. I believe her gentle and skillful chiropractic care is unparalleled. My treatment has included traditional chiropractic care, massage, cold
laser, spider tape and ultrasound. Dr. Kelsall and her staff are simply the best around!

I went to see Dr. Weber for a sports injury (knee) and he was able to fix me up in just a couple of sessions. His personal experience in athletics seemed to really help him understand my pain and frustration not being able to train. Thank you Dr. Weber for getting me back on the mat!

I had an excellent experience at Kelsall Chiropractic earlier this month. I was treated by the clinic’s new doctor, Dr. Weber, for neck and shoulder pain. Dr. Weber was extremely knowledgable, effective, and professional. I felt comfortable and valued as a new patient. The clinic has a great atmosphere and provides a variety of services. I would definitely recommend Kelsall Chiropractic to my family and friends!

I’ve been going to Kelsall Chiropractic regularly for years and have been very happy with the results. Dr Kelsall is always able to relieve my back troubles that build up over time. She also has skilled massage therapists on staff that compliment the chiropractic work for a holistic treatment that is very effective.

I’ve been seeing Karen since she first went into practice. She totally understands my health needs and goals, which is to basically continue playing soccer as long as I can. I am now 48, and she’s been my chiropractor for more than 13 years. What I love about her treatments is that they go way beyond a simple chiropractic adjustment: she’s used kinesiotape, cold laser, massage, ice, heat, and exercises. She’s also recommended nutritional help with supplements and I feel her advice always goes beyond the simple Western medical rule of drugs and surgery. In addition, at work, she’s helped me get healthier by prescribing a standing desk, which has gone a huge way towards helping me heal lower back pain from sitting too long. When I’ve thrown my back out, she’s the first one I have called. I’d recommend her to anyone who wants the best chiropractic treatment from the most creative healer in Portland.

After suffering with a mid-​back knot for 3+ years, Dr. Kelsall was recommended to me by a local sports massage therapist. I had previously seen another chiropractor with no relief. After just a few sessions with Dr. Kelsall my «burning» knot was gone and I have been maintenance with her for the past 5 years or so. I love getting mini-​massages and heat prior to each visit. I suffer from migraines and Dr. Kelsall has helped to reduce these by keeping my neck and back in alignment.

I have been seeing Dr. Kelsall for over a year now and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I have never felt better. I missed a month recently and I definitely felt it. She is gentle and efficient. When people ask me about Chiropractic services I always recommend her and give them her information.

My wife and I have both been seeing Karen for more than 2 years now. She’s not big (Olympic gymnasts usually aren’t) but don’t let that fool you — she knows just how to position your body and hers to use the pounds she has to maximum effect. I need a good bone cracking on a regular basis and Karen delivers. A big part of her effectiveness with me comes from my complete trust in her. I don’t subconsciously fight her by holding tension in whatever part she is manipulating and that yields much better results. A standard adjustment is immediately preceded by a session with a licensed massage therapist who concentrates on your problem area — makes a lot of sense to me that removing tension results in an easier, more effective adjustment.
Everyone in her office is a joy to be around. Oh, and if you are one who prefers «gentle» chiropractic methods (you’re missing out, but what can I say?), I have no doubt that Karen can deliver that as well.
