Spinal decompression is offered at our Portland clinic.
Portland clinic
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical therapy that gently and gradually stretches the spine to reduce pressure on discs and nerves. It is designed to create space that may help irritated discs and nerves calm down, and many patients use it as an alternative to more invasive options.
Performed by Dr. Jerome Craig on the DRX9000 at our Portland clinic.
Hood River patients: Dr. Alvis can evaluate your disc condition and refer you to our Portland clinic for decompression when appropriate.
Candidacy is determined after a consultation and exam. Results vary.

Patient reviews
“Alvis Chiropractic has been amazing. Dr. Alvis is great to work with and will help you understand the source of your problems and plan the best solutions for you. They are all very professional, patient and make you feel welcome. As a 6'4 male with back pain this is the first chiropractor that has actually made a big difference and given me a better quality of life. Thank you!!!”
“I have seen several chiropractors over many years and Dr. Alvis is the best. I'm a retired professional violinist who began playing at a very early age. This has caused pain and discomfort to my neck and upper body. Dr. Alvis treatment is just what I needed. He is patient, understanding, gentle and firm with his adjustments. Now my neck and upper body are relieved of pain and discomfort. This is wonderful after dealing so many years with this problem. I'm very grateful to have found him.”
“I had ongoing lower back issues, for over a year, and was skeptical to try a chiropractor. My back pain was impacting my sleep, so I was willing to give it a try. I started feeling better after the first week, and am amazed at how good I feel. My husband got a shoulder injury and had on and off lower back pain, and has been feeling so much better, too. Great staff and overall good vibes. Easy to get in for appointments. I highly recommend!”
“I honestly don't even know what to write; Alvis Chiropractic's entire team is amazing. From their comfortable and welcoming environment, to professionalism whilst feeling like part of their friend circle, the actual services are supreme. My favorite chiropractor is there (Dr Jerome Craig) and I hope he never leaves. I have followed him when I can but been unable to go to him in about 10 years and I'm so glad he's convenient to my job now, and even more glad that he's at such a wonderful place with such an outstanding crew. And I know this sounds like an odd thing to put in a review, but they understand the busy-ness of people having full time jobs and work around schedules so leniently without making one feel rushed or shamed for being late. Their holistic health approach goes beyond the physical. THANK YOU”
“Dr. Alvis and his team are exceptional. They consistently greet you with a warm smile and ensure you feel genuinely welcome. Dr. Alvis successfully treated an ankle injury I had endured for 7 years. He explained every step of the treatment process clearly and made sure I was comfortable throughout. I couldn't walk without pain, and now it feels as good as new. I'm so thankful for his help! The office is clean and modern, and the staff is always professional and friendly. I highly recommend Dr. Alvis to anyone needing chiropractic care.”
“I have decades-old injuries that Dr. Alvis has been correcting. With regular adjustments, my pain is greatly diminished and my mobility has improved where other chiropractic treatments have failed to show such progress. I'd say I am feeling ten years younger, but I didn't move as well back then! In addition, everyone at the practice is so friendly and genuinely caring.”
