PATIENT TESTIMONIALS
Dr. Schultze has been a life saver for me. After being in an car accident that required back surgery in 1999, only about 50% of the pain was relieved. With Joan's help I get to really live my life. There is still pain but it's often times self inflicted because I have been enjoying life by gardening, riding quads, playing with my grandsons and living life to the fullest. And when I do those things, there is a price to pay: pain. So I go see Joan and she puts me back together and in the upright position and ready to go live some more. I can't tell you how thankful I am for her gentle form of chiropractic care, her knowledge of the body and her ability to put me back together so that I can continue to do what I love to do with minimal pain.

Dr. Schultze has studied and trained with me regularly over the past 2 years. Her ability to diagnose & treat muscle dysfunction has grown tremendously. I highly recommend her and would gladly send my family & friends for care. She is thorough, compassionate and effective. She is one of the top muscle work doctors in Portland.

After hearing Dr Joan Schultze speak at an alternative health meeting in 2006, I knew I wanted to experience her treatments. Since then she has helped me improve my posture, muscle tone, and mental outlook. Her style of Chiropractic adjustment and BodyTalk sessions correct problems at a profoundly deep level. My favorite hobby is Ballroom Dancing. Dr Joan's treatments have allowed me to improve my technique at an exciting pace. I am eternally grateful.

I carried Dr. Joan Schultze's picture/advertisement around in my date book for over 16 months when I was too much in pain and unable to even consider getting up on a treatment table. Finally I received temporary cortisone relief and was able to have a series of appointments with Dr. Joan to prepare me for 4 major surgeries in 2 1/2years. It's now 4 years later and my quality of life is 1000% improved, in part because of her amazing commitment, skill, resources, training, positive attitude and intuition.
Dr Joan is very compassionate and practical. She is also highly intuitive and attuned to just the right modality at just the right time. She is certified in a number of modalities, such as BodyTalk, which uses the body's own knowing to effect an alignment so the body can then repair and heal itself; Myotonic Facilitation which reattaches muscles at insertion points giving improved stability and balance; Vector Point Cranial Therapy which is an amazing modality in which pressure points release cranial bones thereby releasing sore damaged areas in the neck, spine, legs and feet.
Our bodies are sensitive resilient miracles. They really want to be what we want them to be graceful, athletic, surefooted, strong, energetic, pain-free, or comfortable…that's where Dr. Joan Schultze comes in with her training, her healing hands and her tremendous skills.

In 2004, while walking my dog, I slipped and fell on my right shoulder breaking the collar bone. It did not heal correctly leaving me with pain, restricted motion, and weakness. In 2008 I started treatment with Dr Joan Schultze. By the fourth treatment there was a major improvement in motion, strength, and sleeping comfort. My line of work is very physically demanding and Dr Schultze continues to help me improve my flexibility and strength. The collar bone issue is now of minor concern.

Thank you so much for all your wonderful service over the last five years and my many incidents that had it not been for you treatments probably would have left me in severe pain for the rest of my life. Your knowledge and diverse treatment I’m convinced were the secret. In the past I had always felt worse when I left after a chiropractic adjustment. With you that was not the case. I thank you for your patience with the insurance companies and your communication with me on all activities. The referrals and direction you gave me were excellent. You are and awesome lady and practitioner. I’m thankful for all your work, caring and compassion.

I first saw Dr. Joan Schultze five years ago. More recently I sought her care after a major rear-end auto accident. I like her approach to chiropractic healing as it is a positive one. It is not painful like an experience I had with a traditional chiropractor who used a more “rackem” and “crackem” approach. Dr. Schultze lets my body tell her where the problems are and her gentle skills and knowledge are very helpful as I am recovering from my injuries. And I like Dr. Schultze who is a pleasant and cheerful person as well as a skilled chiropractor. My experience with her, as in the past, has been a very good one.

Dr Schultze is a sensitive, thorough health professional mindful of her patient’s best interests. No matter whether my visits were for headaches, lower back or neck pain, I left feeling significantly better. Through a series of visits after my arm, shoulder and neck had been severely injured, she brought me back to full functioning. She did this through both soft tissue work and chiropractic adjustments. These adjustments used my body’s own tension and release mechanisms resulting in very gentle adjustments without the “cracking” of the joints.

I have been treated by Joan Schultze for ten years for a variety of back pain and stress related issues. I always recommend her to my friends in need because often she is the only one who has been able to relieve the pain for me. I value her low intervention techniques which leave me feeling relaxed.

Joan Schultze has been an important member of my health maintenance team for many years. Joan and I met when she was in Chiropractic College and through the years she has continued to refine her chiropractic skills and to become certified in several other related methods. Today when a client comes to her, she has a number of treatments to select from for the right one for that person's needs that day. I am grateful to know that any time my body needs a tune-up, whether it's a major adjustment, or a matter of stress, Joan will be there and when I leave her office, my body will be singing.

I have been a patient of Dr Schultze for many years. I have had such great results with her treatments I am constantly referring people and they are always impressed I know her phone number by heart. Joan has been able to help me many times when the medical community offered me no solution. I have also appreciated her willingness to explain what she is doing as well as attempt to help me learn to do some things for myself.

I have benefited from the Chiropractic services of Dr. Schultze over the last seven to eight years. She is a highly skilled professional and a very compassionate and understanding person. That is a great combination when it comes healing. Dr. Schultze pursues extensive continuing education expanding her skills and her understanding of health and healing. I commend her as one well worth interviewing to explore the fit of her skills and qualities with your own perspective and health issues.

I had severe lower back pain plaguing me for many years until I met Dr. Joan Schultze. She used her chiropractic skills to eliminate those pains and eliminate flair-ups over the last ten years. My monthly maintenance appointments have kept me from having occasional twinges turn into fully debilitating episodes. I am grateful to have Joan as my chiropractor.
