Massage therapy involves proper structured manipulation or movement of the muscles and connective tissues of the body such as tendons, ligaments and fascia. Chiropractic care focuses on promoting proper movement of the spine and extremities by applying an impulse adjustment directly over a restricted joint.
The goal of naturopathic medicine is to treat the whole person -- that means mind, body, and spirit. It also aims to heal the root causes of an illness -- not just stop the symptoms. We are happy to announce we are now open and offering chiropractic, naturopathic and massage therapy services. Scheduled patients must be the only one to attend their appointments, unless assistance is needed for ambulation or they are vaccinated.

Whether you have lower back pain from years of sitting with bad posture or the debilitating effects of whiplash stemming from an automobile crash, managing pain can be quite difficult. This is especially true when you are relying on pain medicine to help manage the problem without effectively addressing the root cause.
Auto crashes are among the most common forms of injury in the United States. Statistics from The Oregon State government show that roughly 50,000 crashes occurred in the Oregon alone. As you can imagine, hundreds of people are injured in these impacts. The worst part is that not all injuries are immediately obvious, with some taking months before symptoms begin to manifest.

Dr Blyss has techniques for lower back pain that worked for me faster where none others' helped that much. She treats you in such a way that the pain go away sooner and you don't need see a chiropractor again by suggesting simple, yet very effective exercises to embed in daily routine. Definitely recommend Dr Blyss for anyone who is suffering from a chronic lower back pain.

Laid back environment and professional setting. Didn’t feel rushed or like I was just a number. The assessment I was given was thorough and I appreciated the detailed game plan to alleviate my issues. I received a massage that was also very therapeutic. I’d recommend this office for minor to chronic pain as well as an overall physical well-being.

I mean honestly, this is the first time in my life I have felt genuinely listened to by medical professionals, first of all. The whole staff is amazing. Everyone here is so, so nice. The receptionists are absurdly helpful. Dr. Blyss and Dr. Loomis are incredibly personable and just hilarious. Aaron is a wealth of knowledge. Shay has incredible technique. Every single person on staff is talented, warm, and real.

Have used Blyss Chiropractice in past with good results, particularly with one specific doctor. Fast forward a year.. I called 2 weeks ago to get back in with that doctor for a new painful condition. On that call they asked if i had the same insurance - yes. I could not get an appointment for 2 weeks due to scheduling. I'll hang in there, she's worth it and its covered on my insurance. Yesterday, the day before my long awaited appointment, they wrote to me to inform me that months ago they dropped off my insurance panel and that the appointment would cost me $200 (not $20 copay

My massage therapist was out of town and I had to go with blyss office for couple of sessions. I went there once and I was happy with my massage (not the best but it was OK). I had to cancel 2 times due to an emergency that happened to my dog and the third time, I canceled via their appointment system. She called me the next day very impolitely told me to not go there again. She said, you did not show up the other day without making a phone call and also canceled 2 times in a row. If your system has a problem, don't blame the customers. Also, emergency always happens! I am overall happy that

Dr Blyss is the most unethical human I ever met. Her adjustment caused me muscle strain and ear fullness/pressure including malfunction of Eustachian tube malfunction after adjusting my neck and shoulder unnecessarily.
I told her in the office that I lost range of motion in neck and she told me to go home.
When I called her to tell about my symptoms she told me that her phone calls weren't getting paid.
I was going through so much pain and would have given up anything to not having to go through that experience and Miss Blyss was concerned about a 5 minute phone call not getting paid

Over the years, I have seen several chiropractors at Blyss Chiropractic for long-standing chronic pain and associated issues. Dr. Blyss and her staff always demonstrate great skill and insight, and on top of this they are all very friendly and welcoming.
My issues are such that there is no magic bullet to fix them, but many of my symptoms declined in intensity under their care. Additionally, I got a bit of education on many different things to do to help myself mitigate my pain.
I've benefited from "standard" treatments (neck and spine adjustments) as well as a variety of other methods that were

Dr. Laarabi is everything I look for in a chiropractor - knowledgeable, good listener, and willing to tailor her approach to what my body responds to. She does not push multiple visits. I feel like her advice on follow up plans and next steps is always in my best interests. She has taught me several stretches that relieve painful conditions - and in 20 years of massage and chiropractic care no one else has shown them to me! She's unfailingly friendly and caring. I am extremely impressed with her knowledge and experience with all things musculo-skeletal.

On a recommendation from a friend, I booked a massage with Shay. She was really great. I gave her a quick history of my injuries and she went to work. I highly recommend Shay whether you desire a massage for medical reasons or just relaxation. I found her and the rest of office staff to be completely professional and extremely helpful. The office is clean and very comfortable. I will be coming back.

I was in Portland from out of town and experienced a painful flare up. I could barely walk. As luck would have it I found Dr. Blyss. She and her staff were amazing! They worked with my limited schedule and got me in right away. I have treated with several chiropractors over the years and she was brilliant. She cut to the chase and diagnosed and treated the issue expertly. I experienced immediate relief which continues. I could barely walk when I came in and within 24 hours I was walking through Portland nearly pain free! I am so thankful to her and her staff; I highly recommend her and wish she

I would like to thank Blyss Chriopractic and especially their acupuncturist Aaron Annis for both the care given me during an acupuncture treatment and for resolving a difficult billing issue with my insurance.
There was confusion as my insurance company said on their website that acupuncture would be covered 100 percent. A staffer had told me it would be verified in advance. When I arrived it had not yet been verified, creating a bit of confusion when it was subsequently discovered they do not cover it at all. The receptionist handled the issue in the kindest and most professional way possible

Dr Blyss and staff provide the very highest in chiropractic care, and overall customer experience.
The office is very convenient to downtown, and complimentary parking provided.
Appointment confirmations are automated, with reminder calls 48 hours in advance.
Dr Blyss is extremely knowledgable, has been in practice 10+ years and provides very detailed explanations on the care plan. I had a torn shoulder/rotator cuff I suffered with for 3 months that my MD could not fix. Three weeks of therapy/treatment with Dr Blyss and my pain was significantly reduced, and continues to be on the mend with

I'm adding this review even though Dr Blyss hasn't treated me in a couple of years, but I was just reminded of her again because I need her! Since she moved downtown, it is hard for me to get up there, but I hope to soon! She did so much for me when I saw her ongoing for maybe a year? She listens, her techniques worked immensely, and she made me feel comfortable. I would recommend her to anyone.

Ever since I moved I have tried to find a chiropractor like Dr Blyss and have had no luck--I wish I could clone her!
She does an amazing job and is always willing to go the extra mile if you don't feel comfortable. For example, I always get instant headaches after my adjustments and she gives me a mini massage!
Speaking of massage, Shay, the massage therapist there, was awesome! She was able to identify spots that were hurting me and used just the right amount of pressure. And the music she played was so relaxing. I kinda wish I could clone her too....
