How Chiropractors Treat Headaches in Beaverton
Chiropractors help people who have headaches and migraines by identifying the root cause of the head pain and building a treatment plan accordingly. Sometimes this can include lifestyle changes, while most of the time, this includes facilitating Chiropractic treatments.
Chiropractors use a hands-on approach to adjusting the spine and neck. They use their hands to apply a gentle pressure and manipulation to the vertebrae that are out of alignment. This helps to restore the alignment of the spine and relieve any tension or pressure that may be causing the headaches or migraines.

Have never felt better!<br>Beth and Melissa are great with assisting Dr. Kris in whatever needs there are before and after my appointment.<br>A great place! Highly recommended!
Dr Kris is a caring and intuitive chiropractor. He has a great rapport with patients and great touch for adjustments. His staff is also very friendly and caring. I highly recommend Beaverton Family Chiropractic.
Dr. Kris personalizes my adjustments to relieve my neck pain and headaches. He realizes that adjustments are not a "one size fits all" situation and continually assesses to ensure my needs are met. He takes the time necessary to relieve my pain!
I have been going to see Dr. Pollack for the lossy 11 years! I can’t think about any other DR. Better than him. He is knowledgable super competente and helps my life to be free of pain and much happier. I have referred him for many of my friends and they all are happy as well.
I only trust Kris with my chiropractic care! He has helped me through a car accident recovery, treated my migraines and helped me during my pregnancy! He and has staff are wonderful in what they do. Thank you!
I always feel confident that I will get the best possible care from Beaverton Family Clinic! The staff is caring and tries hard to accommodate the needs of the patient.<br>I have experienced an improvement in at least 7 areas of my physical body, and have received support in emotional and spiritual issues as well! I am healthier and able to function better because of the care I receive at this clinic!<br>I have and will continue to recommend this clinic to friends and family whom I believe would benefit from their care.
I've been going to the chiropractor since I was a kid in the mid-1970's and Dr. Kris is the BEST chiropractor who's ever treated me. He's knowledgeable and skilled. He spends time with his patients and explains things; he's not a "snap & go" chiropractor. I highly recommend Dr. Kris to anyone who is experiencing back or neck pain, headaches, and joint stiffness and pain.
I have been going to Beaverton Family Chiropractic since the end of January,2018 to present time. And each time I have come in it feels so great. And now I am learning a lot more than before.
Dr. Kris is very caring, knowledgeable and skillful. I am very blessed to have his chiropractic treatment with de-compression and roller table treatments to help my severe lower back scoliosis. His assistant, Melissa, knows very well about the treatments and is very thoughtful. The office staff, Kaylan and Julian are very friendly and helpful. I greatly recommend the Beaverton Family Chiropratic, Dr Kris and his staff.
Dr. Kris Pollack at Beaverton Family Chiropractic is excellent. He listens, explains clearly, and provides effective care that has made a real difference for me. The office is welcoming, efficient, and always professional. Highly recommend
My back and neck were so out of whack. I felt like I was 90 years old!<br><br>My back feels so much better now and we’re working on my neck.<br><br>The staff is really nice, I like that. I’ve got another appointment on Friday, I’ll let you know how it goes.
Very knowledgeable and confident but not pushy. This is a very wholistic approach to wellness, not just "popping you back into place." It is a commitment like any other wellness plan so expect to have to invest time and money, but also expect good results. I also took my 2 year old in today for the first time and they are so welcoming of kids.
I have been seeing Dr. Pollack for several year and have found him very concerned and knows a lot about the human body. I highly recommend him and his staff.
This is a wonderful office. Dr Kris is amazing and spends so much time working on you. They’re always kind, incredibly helpful, and my family and I have all received so much help with our bodily pain. This isn’t like some offices where the chiropractor’s aren’t even doctors and they just crack your back without doing any testing or asking any questions. They use much wisdom and are very careful and cautious to do multiple tests and lots of questions before they do any work on you. I would highly recommend their office to anyone.
Clean. I always have a laugh with his staff while waiting. Many years with Kris. He has alleviated many days/times of crying. He gives great (and free) advice for preventative exercises.
Dr Kris is fantastic. I've been to more than a few DC's over the years, and he's definitely in my top 3! If you're having any problems, please, go see him!
The stabilization care was super, and I very much appreciated the options of the roller and decompression machines. They also took additional time to assist me with my questions regarding Medicare reimbursement. Great facility and staff!
I’ve seen Dr. Kris Pollack for years, typically for acute, excruciating back pain. Having had major surgery 35+ years ago, I typically know what’s going on. And I always feel I’m in very good, capable hands with Dr. Kris. He has proven countless times to be the solution for me and I highly recommend him.
I am a fairly new patient at this facility, but I have been a patient of Dr. Kris Pollack's for nearly 18 years. Dr. Kris is absolutely amazing!! When I started seeing him, I was living on over-the-counter medications just to be able to get through the day. He immediately got to the root of my problem and started getting my spine back in alignment after a lifetime of my neglecting my scoliosis. I tell people that Dr. Kris gave me back my life!!! My posture isn't the best, so I continue to see him for routine maintenance, as I never want to go back to that dark place again, where I was when I met him. He has helped fix any problems that I've encountered over the years, from my normal alignment problems to weird injuries. I highly recommend Dr. Kris to anyone!!!<br>I was not very excited when I heard that Dr. Kris was moving from Lake Oswego to this facility in Beaverton; but I would follow him anywhere! He is that good!!
I’m grateful to Dr. Dan and his team. Dr. Dan is a very kind and knowledgeable person with many years of experience. My wife and I are feeling better every day after treatment.
The care I receive at Beaverton Family Chiropractic goes way beyond the best chiropractic care I’ve ever received. Dr. Dan and his staff are totally vested in education for optimal health. There are frequent seminars open to all on topics such as nutrition, exercise and other health topics. The warmth and caring I have received makes me feel as though I am among family. If you have any spinal health concerns, I strongly encourage you to make an appointment.
Dr. Dan has helped me with back issues that were interfering with my daily life and continues to help me optimize my health. The staff is all friendly and quickly gets to know who you are.
