Which areas can be treated with non surgical techniques?

Non-invasive treatments are beneficial for helping many types of bone and soft tissue problems and can be used in a variety of areas including the following:

  • Neck
  • Spine
  • Knees
  • Shoulders
  • Hips
  • Elbows
  • Ankles
  • Wrists

How long do non-surgical techniques take to work?

It does take some time for your treatment to start working. Some patients report a dramatic reduction in their pain levels in as little as two months, while others experience improvement within a few weeks. It just depends on how quickly your body responds to the treatment.

Will I need more than one treatment?

Possibly, depending on how quickly you heal and the severity of your injury. If you don’t see any improvement after several months, or if you don’t notice significant improvement, your doctor might suggest repeating the treatment. They can let you know what to expect during your consultation and assessment appointment.

Do the injections hurt?

They are injections after all, so you may feel a bit of stinging, but only for a few seconds. Most patients describe a temporary burning sensation, although it doesn’t last long. If you’re sensitive to pain or are getting the injections in a sensitive area, your practitioner can apply a topical numbing cream. This type of cream decreases some of the stinging sensation from the injection and minimizes your discomfort.

What is Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP)?

PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma. PRP is your blood plasma that has been enriched with your own concentrated platelets. This concentrated PRP contains several different growth factors.

Platelets also contain proteins called growth factors, which play an important role in the process of healing of injuries.

With Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy, our skilled providers stimulate inflammation, which alerts the body to take notice of the injured tissue again so it can assist in healing the damaged tissue. PRP can accelerate the healing process of injures such as plantar fasciitis, tendon, ligament, bone and cartilage injuries. Platelet rich plasma has gained substantial popularity in the arena of sports medicine and orthopedics for its ability to enhance healing of both chronic and acute ailments. It can many times augment or even replace surgery, and many patients have decreased pain after the first injection. You no longer must be a professional athlete to receive this type of therapy.

Call (503) 489-1998 today for an evaluation and see if PRP is right for you.

Headaches & Migraines


When patients come to us for help with headaches/migraines, we have one main goal. That is to help them achieve lasting pain relief naturally and drug-free. By doing so, we spare them from the need for medications to dull their pain. Our staff takes an intense interest in finding the correct cause of each patient’s headache and providing the right treatment so they can enjoy life headache-free.

Much success has been had providing relief from the following types of headaches:

Tension headaches

Tension headaches often have their source right next door—in the neck. Persistently tense muscles, poor posture and accumulated trauma that damages the alignment or free movement of the neck can all cause headaches.

Migraine headaches

Migraines are mental, physical and emotional ordeals that can last from a few hours to a few days. These headaches are marked by severe throbbing or pulsing pain and may include nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound, visual changes, fluctuating moods and weakness.

The solution for headaches depends on what our examination finds. Here at Valleyview Injury + Physical Medicine, we work closely with every patient to look at any factors that could be triggering their pain. Then we can develop the right treatment plan to alleviate the cause.

Treatment Options for Headache Relief:

Chiropractic Adjustments

For a back to be pain-free, the vertebrae must be flexible and in good alignment. Gentle chiropractic adjustments restore proper alignment and mobility to each joint and correct the curve of the spine.

Massage Therapy

Our therapists utilize numerous techniques including Swedish/relaxation, auto accident recovery, sports injury and deep tissue massage tailored to your specific condition.

Physical Rehabilitation

People with headaches have often lost the full range of motion of neck, back or shoulders without realizing it. Specific therapy to restore proper range of motion, flexibility and strength goes a very long way toward restoring optimum balance throughout the body.

Spinal Decompression Therapy

A damaged or herniated disc in the neck can cause a persistent headache. Spinal decompression gently stretches and releases the vertebrae in the neck to allow fluids to hydrate each disc, improving healing.

Please consult with us if you suffer from headaches. We look forward to helping you find lasting headache relief by correcting the cause of the problem.

Knee Pain


The best knee pain relief starts with finding and addressing the actual cause of your knee pain. Consider some of the common knee pain causes. Do you have cartilage damage, a tear in your meniscus or ACL, or is osteoarthritis making its way into your knee? Regardless of the source of the pain we our goal is to find the real issue and create a customized non-surgical techniques treatment program to get you out of pain and back to living your life without the need for surgery or drugs.

We have many treatment options that have proven effective in relieving knee pain, including, but not limited to, non-surgical techniques, joint injections, PRP, bracing and physical therapy.

These treatment options have helped many patients recover mobility without surgery or drugs, even after they have suffered for many years.

Additional Treatment Options for Knee Pain:

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

The platelets in your own blood are activated whenever your body signals that it has been injured. We concentrate the platelets from a small sample of your blood and inject these directly into the painful joint.

Class IV Laser

When an injured area is swollen, it’s harder for cleansing and healing fluids to pass through the area. Our Class VI laser treatment reduces swelling and so accelerates healing and pain relief.

Joint Fluid Supplementation

Knee osteoarthritis reduces that joint’s supply of lubricant, increasing pain and making it harder to move the joint. We use hyaluronan injections to restore lubrication and shock absorption to knee joints

Exercise and Lifestyle Counseling

Many people lack knowledge in the types of exercise and general activity that help strengthen muscles around the knee and prevent further damage. Educating them on how to sit, stand and move about is an integral part of preserving improvements. Dietary changes can help them reduce overall inflammation and pain.

Sciatica


There are two reasons that sciatica creates so much misery. One is the excruciating pain itself that can radiate from the lower back to the foot. The other is the difficulty many people have in eliminating the pain. Is the only solution for sciatica pain relief a combination of painkillers and muscle relaxers? That’s a mixture that could easily result in dependence on these drugs. A drug-free recovery from sciatica may simply be a better solution.

If you have never suffered from sciatica symptoms, you are lucky. The condition often results in numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness that extends all the way down one leg. It can hurt to walk, stand or sit for any length of time. The condition results from the irritation of nerves near the bottom of your spine.

When we see a patient with sciatica, we get them started right away on multiple treatment options to heal this irritation and restore the patient’s ability to sit, stand and walk without pain.

Additional Treatment Options for Sciatica:

Platelet-Rich Plasma

Platelets are the most active healing components in your own blood. By concentrating these platelets in your blood plasma and then returning this plasma to an injured area, you can see an increase in healing which means reduced pain and improved function.

Class IV Laser

Patients love our Class IV Laser for the healing and pain relief it offers. This laser sends calming light waves deep into your body, helping those irritated nerves return to normal.

Chiropractic Treatment

In case after case, chiropractic treatment has proven to be an effective method of addressing sciatica. Gentle adjustments to the position of lower back vertebrae relieve pressure on the discs between your vertebrae and normalizes the space available to these discs. More fluids can reach discs to keep them hydrated. This soothes discs and adjacent nerves and irritation heals.

Physical Rehabilitation

Our state-of-the-art physical rehabilitation services not only help restore normal mobility and strength to your body, they also teach you how to maintain your strength and mobility after your pain is gone.

Your route back to functionality and pain-free living does not have to include drugs or surgery. We will educate you on how we have helped many patients recover from this excruciating pain. In many cases, we have been able to reduce pain early in our treatment.

Peripheral Neuropathy


Many people have no idea that they are suffering from peripheral neuropathy. Most come to us to get help for pain, numbness or weakness in their hands, feet, arms or legs without even knowing that they were suffering from this condition. There could be multiple causes for this problem and it is our job to isolate the causes at work with each patient and get them the medical treatment they need.

What is Peripheral Neuropathy?

Neuropathy refers to a disease or degeneration of the nerves leading to the arms, legs, hands and feet. The word peripheral refers to the outer edge of something, in this case, your body.

Symptoms of this problem include:

  • Numbness and tingling in feet, hands, fingers and toes
  • Burning sensation in hands and feet
  • Weakness in hands, resulting in dropping objects and having difficulty picking them up
  • Leg weakness or cramps
  • Wasting of muscles
  • Loss of dexterity

The discomfort from peripheral neuropathy makes it hard to exercise, move about or sleep. Sufferers stop exercising which only intensifies their weakness. Diabetic patients often suffer from this problem but there can be other causes that need to be properly addressed, like vascular damage.

Treating Peripheral Neuropathy

Some doctors implement treatments dependent upon pain medications. These drugs simply mask your symptoms and may even include dangerous side effects.

Our medical team concern themselves with improving health conditions and healing your body so you don’t have to rely on drugs. Our treatments do not only improve peripheral neuropathy symptoms. It also helps reverse the nerve damage and improve any vascular damage that may have occurred. Here are some of the natural treatment options available to you at our medical clinic.

Additional Treatment Options for Neuropathy Relief:

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

The platelets in your own blood are highly active repair cells. We process a small sample of your blood to concentrate platelets in the clear plasma of your blood. Then when we return this platelet-rich plasma to your body, its healing power goes to work to subdue your pain and weakness.
