The UWS West Burnside Chiropractic Clinic (WBCC) is a community outreach
clinic serving uninsured and underinsured patients in downtown Portland.
This clinic has been providing care to the local community since 1987.
Approximately 4500 no-cost or low-cost treatments are provided at the clinic
each year.
The clinic focuses on helping people with acute disabling problems who are
unable to work or continue their normal activities due to musculoskeletal
pain. Under the supervision of Chiropractic Physicians Dr. Owen Lynch and
Dr. Laurel Yancey, advanced students in the UWS Doctor of Chiropractic
Program participate in the provision of evidence-based chiropractic care to
patients. Patient care is problem-focused with emphasis on self-care
through exercise and lifestyle modification.
The West Burnside
Chiropractic Clinic is a member of the Coalition of Community Health
Clinics, a group of twelve non-profit clinics that serve the uninsured and
underinsured in Multnomah County. Coalition Clinics provide over 100,000
health care visits to Multnomah County residents each year.
In
addition to providing care at the WBCC, UWS provides on-site treatments at
three residential alcohol and drug (A&D) treatment centers. The Collins
Foundation awarded a grant to the WBCC to fund this project.
We
see patients by appointment and we take walk-in patients. People with acute
episodes of disabling pain will usually be seen within 1-2 days. People
with chronic or non-disabling problems are usually scheduled within 7 days.
