MEET DR. PORTILLO
A Gentle and Thorough Chiropractic Experience
Our blend of gentle, hands-on adjustments and understanding of how your body responds to food, stress, and movement sets us apart from other practices. Dr. Portillo views the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of health as connected to one another. Addressing one area naturally helps the others.
What to Expect During Care
Many people have had chiropractic care that left them sore. Our chiropractor is known as “the chiropractor who doesn’t hurt.” He adjusts by hand to feel what’s happening in your spine and joints, using minimal force. For those uneasy about neck adjustments, he uses an Activator® instrument, which is a small, handheld tool that delivers a precise adjustment.
Visits include applied kinesiology, or muscle testing, which helps pinpoint where your body holds stress, even if it isn’t causing pain yet. Dr. Portillo explains his findings and how different areas of your body are connected.
Where Digestion Care Meets Spinal Health
A key aspect of care here is digestive health. Recurring low back tension, fatigue, digestive issues, or trouble sleeping may be related to what you’re eating.
In response to our patients’ needs, our practice has used Dr. Howard Loomis’s enzyme-based nutrition system for more than 20 years. It helps our chiropractor evaluate how well your body digests, absorbs, and eliminates food, in turn helping ease your symptoms.
Empowering You to Heal From the Inside Out
Our goal isn’t dependency on adjustments or digestive care—it’s to coach you toward health. Our practice encourages home exercises, breathing techniques, and better food choices.
Many begin care during a painful flare-up. Our chiropractor’s own experience with intense low back pain helps him guide others with understanding and support. Once you begin to feel better, care often shifts to wellness visits so your body continues to function well, before discomfort returns.
Return to Optimal Function
Temporary fixes to your symptoms don’t provide the support you need for long-term success, and you deserve care that honors your whole self. Contact Portillo Chiropractic today and schedule your first visit. We want to help you see what’s possible through our natural approach to care.
