From the Desk of Dr. Beeson:
Did you know?
Beeson Chiropractic Wellness Center has a combined total of over 215 years of health care experience!
Did you know as well?
Our doctors (myself included) and staff are continuously undergoing progressive training to enhance their ability to identify & diagnose the underlying cause of your pain and dysfunction.
This results in your treatment plan being tailored specifically for your needs with the outcome of you functioning at your optimum again, in the shortest time possible!
Getting you out of pain is a part of our treatment plan objective, which often happens before return of function is achieved and stabilized. But what would happen if that is the ONLY goal we have for you?
We would be doing you a disservice by allowing you to not get the underlying problem corrected and stabilized.
Simply put we are here to partner with you to:
- Find the underlying cause of your pain & decreased function.
(Exam and initial treatment) - Eliminate the pain.
(The Relief Phase.) - Return you to your optimum function.
(The Correction Phase.) - Stabilize that optimum state.
(Maintenance care.)
This is why I encourage people to follow their care plan through the corrective phase, and not quit when they are “feeling fine”.
I hope this article has helped clarify some things for you. If you have any questions, call me directly at:

Summer Tip:
Recent AAA research shows the summer as the most dangerous time for accidents. The study emphasizes the dangers due to the increased number of drivers that use the roads, particularly carefree teens on summer vacation. We have been helping many, many drivers and passengers who were injured over the last few months to recover their health from whiplash and other injuries. Another report indicated that accidents have increased by 10% this year in Oregon. Be careful on those roads, and if someone you know was involved in an accident, please encourage them to get examined! We have said it before, but we will say it again; injuries can occur at speeds as low as 3mph! Take a look at our blog articles for more information: www.beesonchiropractic.com/blog/
FAQs
Question: Does it matter if I follow my treatment schedule exactly, especially if I’m feeling fine?
Answer: If you change your appointments or substitute your scheduled day for another day (e.g. you are scheduled for this Friday but decide to come next Wednesday instead), your overall treatment plan will take longer and you may not get the results you originally intended. If you are having trouble keeping up with your suggested treatment frequency, you should meet with the doctor.
Question: Am I covered if I get into an auto accident?
Answer: Yes. It is the law in Oregon that all insurance plans provide PIP (Personal Injury Protection) coverage. It allows you and your passengers, regardless of who caused an accident, to have insurance coverage for “reasonable and necessary” medical, dental, hospital, surgical, ambulance, and prosthetic services incurred within one year after the date of an injury up to a maximum of $15,000.
