Battle Ground Chiropractic Equity Statement
Battle Ground Chiropractic aims to provide effective patient-centered chiropractic care to all members of our community regardless of race, economic status, ability, gender identity, sexual orientation, nationality, or political or religious beliefs.
BGC stands with organizations and individuals who are raising their voices against violence and hate towards historically and systemically marginalized people. We recognize the inequality and inequity present in our country’s healthcare and other systems. With this comes the responsibility to continue to confront bias and discrimination, and to provide a safe, welcoming, and accessible healthcare environment for all.
Land Acknowledgement
We acknowledge that this land, on which we live and work, was inhabited by multiple indigenous tribes, including members of the Cowlitz and Western Klickitat, and was a migration region for the Chinook, Siletz, Grand Ronde, Cayuse, Umatilla, and Walla Walla people who were all faithful stewards of this land, its waters and all its co-inhabitants, for hundreds of generations before their colonization and assimilation.

We see you. We stand with you. You matter.

Welcome to Battle Ground Chiropractic
Why do we do what we do?
We believe in the Golden Rule and leaving things better than we found them.
This is the driving principal we live our lives by at home, at work and in our community. It’s how we have raised our two wonderful teenage children, and it’s how we treat our patients and community.
What do we do?
Spinal and extremity CMT (chiropractic manipulative treatment) aka: good old-fashioned chiropractic adjusting; including soft tissue and preparatory procedures such as heat, trigger point, massage, and flexion/distraction stretching.
Home Care Exercise instruction based on the healing needs of the condition, with the patient’s schedule and abilities in mind.
Stress/pain relief strategies including analgesic creams, self-massage techniques, nutritional strategies, hot/cold compress therapy, and others Ergonomic advice for home, car, and office
Diet and nutritional counseling
How do we do this?
By providing:
- honest assessments of our patient’s conditions. We do not use fear tactics or chiropractic philosophy sales pitches to get our patients coming back for excessive amounts of care.
- focused treatment plans based on each patient’s individual needs and medical necessity for the condition with which they present to our office. This may be one visit or a short trial of 3 to 4 visits for most conditions, or a little longer for more severe injuries and conditions.
- the time needed to listen and understand our patient’s full health history and current symptoms so that we can thoroughly assess and treat them without being rushed.
- science-based recommendations for home-care exercises, stress/pain relief strategies, nutritional counseling, ergonomic advice, and other treatment options.
- Referrals to other medical providers when needed. Dr. Jeff considers himself as an integrated provider rather than an alternative care provider. We use the medical model in our assessments and treatments.
