Our downtown clinic on Cascade Ave serves patients from across the Gorge. On the Oregon side, that includes Hood River, Odell, Parkdale, Mosier and The Dalles. Many patients also come from White Salmon, Bingen and Lyle on the Washington side, across the Hood River–White Salmon bridge.
Because we're right downtown, it's easy to fit a visit around errands, work or school. Call (541) 436-4800 if you need help planning your visit.
Life in the Gorge keeps people moving. You might be windsurfing or kiteboarding on the river, mountain biking local trails, skiing on Mt. Hood, hiking or working long days in the orchards. All of that can put stress on your back, neck, shoulders and knees.
Dr. Alvis looks at how you move and what you need to do. Then he builds a care plan to help you get back to it. Many active patients pair adjustments with StemWave. Results vary from person to person.
Spinal decompression is available at our Portland clinic. Dr. Alvis can refer you there when your exam shows it may help. Learn more about spinal decompression.

Gentle chiropractic care adapted for infants, children and teens.
Prenatal chiropractic care that may help ease back, hip and pelvic discomfort during pregnancy.

Gorge patients often see us for back and neck pain, sciatica, and injuries from outdoor sports and physical work. We also treat headaches and joint pain. For disc problems, Dr. Alvis starts with chiropractic care. He can refer you to Portland for decompression if your exam shows that it may help.
“Dr Alvis is a skilled chiropractor with a gentle demeanor. His staff are equally caring and attentive. A great place to receive care from head to toe.”
“Dr. Alvis and his team are exceptional. They consistently greet you with a warm smile and ensure you feel genuinely welcome. Dr. Alvis successfully treated an ankle injury I had endured for 7 years. He explained every step of the treatment process clearly and made sure I was comfortable throughout. I couldn't walk without pain, and now it feels as good as new. I'm so thankful for his help! The office is clean and modern, and the staff is always professional and friendly. I highly recommend Dr. Alvis to anyone needing chiropractic care.”
“I have seen several chiropractors over many years and Dr. Alvis is the best. I'm a retired professional violinist who began playing at a very early age. This has caused pain and discomfort to my neck and upper body. Dr. Alvis treatment is just what I needed. He is patient, understanding, gentle and firm with his adjustments. Now my neck and upper body are relieved of pain and discomfort. This is wonderful after dealing so many years with this problem. I'm very grateful to have found him.”
