After a crash, seek medical clearance—even if you feel fine—and document everything: photos, witness names, and your account of events. Early imaging and chiropractic evaluation help catch “hidden” soft-tissue injuries before they worsen

Yes. Chiropractors specialize in diagnosing and treating whiplash, neck stiffness, headaches, and spinal misalignments that often follow collisions—conditions emergency rooms can miss.

Delayed symptoms—like neck pain, headaches, or back stiffness—often appear 24–72 hours post-accident, once adrenaline subsides. Early chiropractic care documents your condition for insurance and speeds recovery.

Most PIP (Personal Injury Protection) policies in Oregon and Washington pay 100% of chiropractic fees for auto-accident injuries. Our office will assist in filing your claim and verifying benefits

Treatment length depends on injury severity, time since onset, and your health goals. Simple sprains may need a few visits; complex cases (e.g., chronic whiplash) may span months. Your doctor will outline a personalized plan.

Yes. Multiple controlled studies confirm that chiropractic adjustments are a safe, effective first-line treatment for neck pain—often providing faster relief than medication alone.

Absolutely. Gentle spinal mobilization and soft-tissue therapies reduce whiplash-related muscle spasms, improve range of motion, and minimize headaches associated with cervical trauma.

Your initial exam includes health history, posture and spinal alignment assessment, and orthopedic/neurological tests. Your chiropractor will explain findings, recommend treatment, and answer all your questions.

No referral is required to book with a Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) in Oregon. You can call or schedule online at any time—insurance plans vary, so we’ll verify coverage for you.

Chiropractors address back pain, neck pain, sciatica, headaches, sports injuries, work-related strains, TMJ dysfunction, and many joint/muscle issues using hands-on adjustments and supportive therapies.

Yes—spinal adjustments, decompression therapy, and targeted exercises relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve, reducing leg pain and numbness while restoring mobility.

By realigning vertebrae, reducing nerve irritation, and improving spinal biomechanics, chiropractic adjustments decrease inflammation and muscle tension, promoting natural healing without opioids.

Chiropractic sports medicine uses joint mobilization, soft-tissue techniques, and rehabilitation exercises to expedite recovery from sprains, strains, tendonitis, and impact injuries in athletes of all levels.

Yes. Our licensed massage therapists (LMT) provide therapeutic and deep-tissue massage to complement adjustments—relieving muscle knots, improving circulation, and enhancing overall treatment outcomes.

You can book online via our Contact Us page, call (971) 226-5025, or email DrWesleyWallis@gmail.com. Appointments are available Tuesday–Saturday, 10 AM–4 PM.

Our practice proudly serves Portland proper and the surrounding metro communities—including Vancouver WA, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Gresham, Oregon City, Lake Oswego, Tigard, Tualatin, and Forest Grove—bringing expert care close to home. Care is not limited to Portland-Vancouver area residents- Skyline chiropractic treats clients regularly that drive from Eastern Oregon, and parts of Central Washington.

Costs vary by treatment and session length. We provide transparent, customized pricing after your initial consultation—and work with most insurance plans to minimize out-of-pocket expenses.

Many plans—including Medicare, Medicaid, and private PPO/HMO policies—cover chiropractic visits. We verify benefits for you and bill your insurer directly.

We accept cash, major credit/debit cards, and most insurance assignments. Flexible financing plans are available for ongoing care.

Yes—third-party financing with low or zero interest is available to help you spread the cost of care over time. Ask our front desk for details.

Comfortable, loose-fitting clothing (t-shirt and shorts or sweatpants) allows you to move freely during assessment and treatment. We advise clients to show up in whatever they are most comfortable in.

In Oregon and Washington, PIP auto-accident coverage typically pays 100% of chiropractic fees up to policy limits—so there’s no cost to you for crash-related treatment.

Yes. Neck realignment and soft-tissue work can reduce tension and nerve irritation that trigger headaches—often reducing frequency and intensity over time.

By addressing nerve entrapment in the neck and wrist, adding mobilization and ergonomic advice, chiropractic care can alleviate tingling, pain, and weakness in the hands.

Most new patients attend 2–3 visits per week for the first 2–4 weeks, then taper frequency based on progress and long-term health goals.

Yes—we offer virtual visits for initial history reviews, post-treatment check-ins, and home exercise guidance when in-office visits aren’t possible.

We follow CDC guidelines: mask usage (optional per patient preference), enhanced sanitation between patients, HEPA air filtration, and spaced-out scheduling to minimize overlap.
