We are a well established chiropractic office on the Lake Oswego side of the I-5/217 interchange in SW Portland. We are a family practice focused on rehab and manual therapy techniques. We are offering a partership with the current DC owner to establish a Primary Rehab Care center that emphasizes Provider Performed manual techniques, flexion/distraction, soft tissue and myofascial work and active rehab. A large portion of primary care visits are associated with acute or chronic soft tissue or spinal injuries. A patient centric approach would address these issues in 3-5 visits and be more effective than alternatives such as long term medication use or PT alone. To be clear, the DO is not required to have a narrow scope of practice, nor is the DO required to see any visits. DC providers are also primary care and do not require referral. Therefore, we hope to upgrade our facility to a "medical practice", using DCs to do the heavy lifting and having a DO/DC co-ownership management team. This is a hybrid model that has been used to great success in other areas of the country. The name would remove "chiropractic" as we would emphasize rehab, while still performing various passive and active treatments. We combine the improved billing flexibility of a DO or MD with the orthopedic specialty and effectiveness of the DC. The DO may absolutely practice within the space and is encouraged to grow their own primary care practice, or not. Compensation is dependent on the type of agreement reached. A new round of investment capital may be required to rebrand and organize this hybrid. Are you an entrepreneur? Do you want to do something different? Our 5 year goal is to expand from our current location into various areas of Portland, all of which would be managed by this partnership.
