Element Wellness & Sports Rehabilitation

I’m a bit of a chiropractic connoisseur. Back in Eugene, I had Dr. Doug Carlstrom who was, amazing. In Portland, I had to shop around a bit before finding Dr. Goodwill who is similarly excellent. There is a precision and accuracy to his method that I really appreciate. They work hard to get you in quickly if you need it. They’ve called me back to offer me a cancelled appointment multiple times. Nothing but good things!

I am unclear on how no one has yet written a review for the Element Wellness & Sports Rehab clinic. I guess I’ll go first… and you should keep reading, because if you notice other chiropractors in other cities I’ve reviewed, I only pick the best…
I am a loyal and grateful patient, so there you have it, right there. I put my trust into Dr. Goodwill with ease. I was referred to him by another local chiropractic doctor whom I saw before, but he moved away. I am so lucky I got this referral because Element Wellness was right under my nose and I didn’t know it. I am so ecstatic to have found them in the John’s Landing building right around the street from my home. It’s a big building and there are other chiropractors in the same building but on different floors, so be sure to choose wisely because only here will you receive true wellness and full body rehab. Aside from chiropractic treatments, they also have several physical therapists and massage therapists. As someone who lives in the towers directly right across from OHSU, I’ll tell ya, it’s still a wiser choice to go down the street to Element Wellness where their PTs have actually undergone more rigorous training.
By far though, my favorite is Dr. Noah Goodwill. I have a finicky neck, and have had whiplash three times earlier in my life and still experience the occasional repercussions of it. For the most part I’m usually in good working order. I try to stay very, very active but sometimes putting my body through the ringer does cost me. When my neck «catches» and my tolerance is at a 10 on the pain scale, my first thought is always, please let me get in to see Dr. Goodwill, I can’t go on without him. Gratefully, Brooke, Jenna, Jessica, and the whole administrative front-​desk gang are always able to accommodate. Dr. Goodwill plays a key role too. When he knows one of his patients are in dire need of treatment for an acute injury he will skip his lunches, move things around and is there to help you. He never rushes his patients, he spends your whole appointment slot with you (if not more) and makes sure to pay attention to your whole body (after all, it’s all connected). He cares soooooo much, even though he is super busy, he never lets that become an excuse, he makes time for you and wants to see you get better. (*sobbing tears of joy from the true RELIEF his spinal manipulations have brought me*) I am so thankful to have him treat me. My insurance covers a good bit, but he is so good I would keep going there even if they didn’t; Dr. Goodwill is worth it!
P. S. Not only does Element Wellness treat patient-​athletes of all kinds, they’re athletes themselves, so they really can put themselves in your shoes. Dr. Goodwill is actually a rock-​star and also treats the Portland Timbers; he is the official team DC for the Timbers and the lady Thorns… so yea, he’s pretty awesome!
P. P. S. You can park either in the open lot shared with Pier 1 on the front side of the building, or around back in the two story garage connected to the backside of the John’s Landing building. The latter might be easier because the practice is on the first floor so if you park at ground level, you just walk right in pretty much. Oh yes, and it’s free parking of course.
