Helping You Feel Better, Move Better.
WHAT IS A CHIROPRACTOR?
A chiropractor is a healthcare professional who specializes in neuromusculoskeletal care—the treatment of conditions affecting the nervous system, muscles, and joints. This integrated approach focuses on diagnosing and correcting pain, dysfunction, and restricted movement by addressing how these systems interact.
At Northwest Spine & Sport in McMinnville, our chiropractors combine clinical expertise with the latest scientific research to assess, treat, and rehabilitate a wide range of musculoskeletal disorders, including back pain, joint dysfunction, and movement limitations.
How We Treat Pain and Movement Issues
At Northwest Spine & Sport, we believe that lasting relief starts with understanding the root cause—not just managing symptoms. That’s why we take a full-body approach to chiropractic care that includes:

Serving McMinnville, Newberg, and Yamhill County, we’re here to support your recovery at every stage with care that’s tailored, effective, and rooted in science.
what is Functional Range Release (FR)®?
Functional Range Release® (FR®) is a hands-on connective tissue therapy used to treat dysfunction in muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and joints. This advanced technique is part of a comprehensive soft tissue system designed using the most current scientific research in human movement and rehabilitation.
An FR® practitioner begins by assessing the quality and range of motion in your joints and surrounding soft tissues to identify areas of restriction or tension. They then apply specific force or tension using manual techniques to stimulate tissue remodeling, reduce pain, and restore normal function.
This form of treatment is highly effective for:
Reducing abnormal tissue tension
Increasing tissue resiliency and strength
Expanding joint range of motion
Supporting long-term functional movement
At Northwest Spine & Sport, FR® is often used alongside chiropractic adjustments and rehabilitative training to create a well-rounded treatment plan tailored to your needs.
