Portland Massage and Chiropractic Services

My Carpal Tunnel was getting out of control, and being in the tech industry I had to do something about it — fast. Outside of taking NSAIDs, and better postures it needed to get looked at so I found Dr. Dougal here on Unilocal and set up an appointment. Not only was he fast to take me in, the environment was very relaxed and I felt safe and confident in his expertise. Not only did he take his time on my injury, he asked good questions and gave me fantastic advice before, during and after the work performed. It felt very sore right away, but the numbness DISSAPEARED! I’m going to use him from now on. Thank you so much Dr. Dougal. You made it possible for me to get back to work.

I have been going to chiropractors for years and feel that Jeff is the most effective chiropractor I have been to.

First off, I was pretty skeptical going into this. My past experiences with chiropractic care were not so great, but I decided to give Dr. Dougal a shot because of his positive reviews here on Unilocal.
I went in for an hour long massage and an adjustment. Now I get fairly regular massages, and I can easily say Dr. Dougal is the best. The adjustments feel amazing as well. I suggest you go in for both!

I came in and felt right at home. Awesome music, Jeff provided great conversation that helped make the treatment cool on a personal level. The treatment was extensive I had gotten in a wrestling fight with my friend and had a restless ache in my back left shoulder ever since. There were just tons and tons in my back and it just felt like something was out of place. Jeff gives you a deep massage that loosened everything up and then at the end he cracked everything up and I was on my way. So far so good my back still feels soreness but that’s expected, whats important is I dont have the ache anymore! There is also a dispensary literally across the street and I went there after: D highly suggest seeing Dr. Jeff he fixed me! Very affordable too! All around praise. Go here over everywhere else, simple as that.

I went in as a first time patient with a debilitating stiff neck and with a massage and adjustment felt amazing when I left. The deep tissue massage was the best one I have ever paid for. Good price and excellent bedside manner. Highly recommend!

Dr Jeff is amazing!!! I was in a car accident over a year ago and was in constant pain. I had given up hope of ever being pain free again. That is until I met Dr Jeff. He said he could help me and I can not tell you how grateful I am. I’m virtual pain free. I would definitely recommend him especially if you are in any pain he CAN heal you.

~If you need a great deep tissue massage Dr. Jeff is the one to go to!~
I have been looking for a deep tissue massage but a REAL ONE. Not just little finger pushes. I am always sketched out about going to a new appointment but Dr. Jeff was very nice and welcoming. He greeted me at the front waiting room in the office which was awesome, I didn’t have to wait. I love that it is in the N. e Portland area because it isn’t far from where I stay and the neighborhood it is in is great. Parking was easy for me I just parked on the side of the road but I believe there is a parking lot. Anyways I left feeling fantastic my back felt really loose and the knots were out for sure! I am going to try and come in as often as I can!

Dr. Dougal is probably one of the most informative doctors that I have met and I have met my share of some of the best neurologists in San Francisco. He not only relieved my neck pain, but has also reduced the number of migraines that I have been suffering from for over 20 years. As a patient, you most likely will walk away from your appointment with helpful information to think about and perhaps allow you to better care for yourself.
I remember thinking as I left my appointment, «Wow, this is what I remember feeling good felt like.»

The only person in Portland who could fix my back! I have extremely tight muscles and tons of stubborn knots from traveling for work, working out, snowboarding, etc. I recently moved from Honolulu where I would get intense shiatsu massages every other week to loosen up my body. Since I’ve moved here I could not find any good deep tissue or shiatsu specialists! No one that could work my knots out at least. Dr. Jeff is amazing and is the only deep tissue therapist I will see from now on. I also got an adjustment after the massage and it was amazing! I had seen chiros before but none of them had been memorable or effective enough for me to remember. I was always nervous and sketched out to get chiropractic adjustments done because I had probably not gotten a proper one until now! My back and body feel amazing! I will definitely be going back on a consistent basis.

DR. Jeff really is amazing. I’ve never experienced the benefits of deep tissue massage until I went to him. The treatments are great, and the price point unbeatable. I’d recommend Dr. Jeff to anybody in need of deep tissue massage and healing.

Dr Jeff is the best! I have been in two car accidents and both times I have been healed with no pain within a months time — he is truly magnificent at his craft– I would definitely go back to him!

I recently saw Dr. Jeff for the first time and his treatment was unbelievable. Deep tissue massage followed by an adjustment is what I scheduled my appointment for and I walked out with nothing but amazing things to say about him and his treatment to my family and friends. He was professional, very informative, provided recommendations for stretching and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire treatment. He asked me to communicate with him if I was experiencing discomfort at anytime with deep tissue as it can be very tough on our muscles. Highly recommend seeing him to ease your pain!

Dr Jeff rocks! My old chiro would not even call me back after I ran out of insurance coverage… seriously… I was trying to find out how much they would charge outside insurance for an adjustment. Thankfully I found Dr Jeff through a friend’s recommendation. $ 50 for a 15 minute deep tissue massage and adjustment!!! And the man is amazing? Too good to be true? Nope… nope and nope. He is also very upfront and nice which is so refreshing!

I am newer to the Portland and was looking for a chiropractor and massage therapist. I recently saw Dr. Jeff because of a variety of issues. He took the time to thoroughly assess what was going on, and even extended the time of my appointment (I was the last of the day) to meet my needs. He provided me with an adjustment, massage and left me with a variety of stretches I could use at home to continue treatment that has left me feeling much better. Overall, a great experience and I would recommend him to others!

I got an adjustment and massage from Dr. Jeff, both of which were very needed! The adjustment was particularly helpful. Also, he was very accommodating as far as when and at what location (between his two spaces) he could meet me, which I really appreciated. Dr. Jeff really values his clients, and puts a lot of effort into delivering good service. I indeed recommend him to others!

Dr. Jeff is easy to deal with and incredibly skilled at what he does. He is kind, flexible with his hours, and extremely knowledgeable about the body and healing. I would recommend seeing him even if you don’t live/​work near one of his two offices — Hollywood or Multnomah Village. He’s worth the drive.

How do I give Dr. Jeff Dougal higher than 5 stars???
I threw my low back out and as an acupuncturist I desperately needed to be functional in order to treat my patients. The chiropractor I had been going to was not helping me too much. I knew he would end up having me come in every day for the next 2 weeks to try to get me out of pain and I’d be hemorrhaging money. I knew I needed to try to find someone who would give me a higher quality of care and be more cost-​effective.
I did a search for chiropractors in Portland on Unilocal and found a few 5 star chiros. The first one I clicked on was Dr. Jeff. He is in NE Portland which is where I lived, so that was a plus. As soon as I read the first couple Unilocal reviews, I picked up the phone. It was Wed night at 8:30. Though his office hours were listed as 10am –10pm, I didn’t have high hopes that anyone would pick up. Since I moved here from NY a couple years ago, I have gotten used to not being able to get any health care appointments scheduled outside of traditional 9 – 5 office hours, which is so disappointing and frustrating. WOuldn’t you know it, Dr. Jeff picked up! HUGE plus. He listened to what was going on and fit me in the next day.
I was almost unable to get myself to the office the day of my appointment because of the extent of my pain and limited mobility. Dr. Jeff asked about everything that I noted on the intake paperwork that I filled out and then did a thorough exam. Next was the massage to prep my body to receive and hold and adjustment. He worked on every part of my body where I was having trouble, and having been through 30 years of playing soccer, I had many areas that needed help besides my low back. Then he adjusted me.
I have been getting chiropractic care for 36 years and I have NEVER had better or more comprehensive care from a chiropractor, EVER. I have been suffering through 13 years of nerve pain in my neck, back and arm from an old soccer injury that no one has been able to help. Not massage therapist, chirpractors, acupuncturists, or physical therapists. I’ve had treatment that helps for the night then the pain returns next day. It’s been 4 days now and my nerve pain is GONE. completely. I can sleep on my side again. I haven’t been able to sleep on my side for 13 years. That my friends is nothing short of a miracle. I also had a nagging shoulder injury and tennis elbow that dramatically improved from Dr. Jeff’s magic touch.
My low back, which was the reason I came in for treatment, felt good enough for me to work the next day on patients for 12 hours. By the end of the day the back pain was there, but I was functional, and that is what I needed. I went back in to see Dr. Jeff at my request 2 days later to continue work on my low back and the second visit did not disappoint. 4 days after my initial treatment, my back is much looser and my pain has decreased measurably. I was even able to work out again yesterday.
Dr. Jeff is incredible. Not only is his experience, knowledge, and treatment magic, but it is obvious how much he wants to help his patients. And something that cannot be emphasized enough is his availability — 10am — 10pm Mon — Sat??? In PORTLAND??? Please. He is a Godsend. My insurance covered my treatment, but you can bet that once my visits are used up I will be paying my $ 45 for continued treatment as needed.
Oh, another huge plus — Dr. Jeff isn’t one of those chiros who tells you that you need to come in 4 days a week or 3 days a week to get things under control, and then you do your 2x a week or weekly maintenance forever, like you have a never-​ending cash supply. He told me most people feel better after one treatment. When I asked when I should come back he said, see how you feel and if you need to come in you can give me a call. Maybe a week, maybe a month. He doesn’t expect you to single-​handedly fund his practice.
Have I said enough??? You’d be foolish to go to anyone else :)

Dr. Jeff Dougal was friendly on the phone and willing to help me on short notice! I called on a Saturday (after calling about 10 other places that were either closed or unavailable) and he was able to see me that afternoon. The facility is nice, there’s a nice covered spot to lock up bikes, which I appreciate.
Treatment was a 15 min deep tissue with a chiropractic adjustment. He was very thorough and professional and found the problem areas easily. I noticed a huge difference during the adjustments compared to the chiropractor I had seen before, who just did the adjustments. They were much easier and comfortable for me with the muscles relaxed. I would definitely go back, and recommend Dr. Jeff to anyone looking for this kind of treatment.

The best deep tissue massage ever! Dr. Jeff is a miracle worker, enough said…

Dr. Jeffrey Dougal is amazing.
I jacked my back up on the drive from Texas to Oregon and each day after I got here, I got a little worse.
I went to another place and asked for deep tissue massage and got a cute little relaxation-​type massage. Nice, but didn’t fix my back.
Then I found Portland Deep Tissue Massage and I thought «Ah-​HA! If those words are in their name, then they MUST know what they’re doing!»
I was right.
I got a fabulous deep tissue massage and then Dr Jeff crunched the heck out of my bones and made them quit attacking me. It was my first chiropractic treatment (bear-​hugs from friends notwithstanding) and I freakin’ LOVED it!
I have always had a strong skepticism regarding Chiropractors, due to an incident involving my mother and a so called «doctor» who said she didn’t need to actually come into the office, he could realign her spine with his mind from across town. What a quack.
Anyway, so, when Dr Jeff offered to realign my back to help fix the problem, I kept an open mind and let him do his thing.
It was like the Fourth of July going on under my skin! Pow! CRUNCH!
The worst of the back pain stopped immediately. Then, the soreness from my muscles being seized for 2 weeks went away over the next 2 days.
I feel like a total jerk for not going here right away, and for judging all chiropractic medicine on the basis of one dork who tried to take advantage of my mother.
And I know for sure I will be back the next time I need a massage and/​or a good crunchin’.*
Thanks, Dr Jeff!
* Note: the technical term for «good crunchin’» is «relalignment.» Either way, I’m happy and my back feels great.
