"I have had terrible migraines for many years. When I came to Dr. Woods, she explained that most likely these could be traced to problems in my neck. Also, I had S.I. problems from a fall. All of the misalignments caused pain and headaches.

I have learned through exercise and counseling how to sit, stretch, bend, and sleep. My headaches are at a minimum and the treatments have given me my life back so I don’t have to miss out on any days. Dr. Woods’ willingness to encourage and always be available to treat or to just talk has made her also a friend. She is a wonderful doctor."  - Barbara Windholz



"Treatment in your office is great! I look forward to starting an overall wellness plan for myself and my wife." -  E.B., Seaside


"Dr. Theo Woods is truly extraordinary! Let me count (some of) the ways:

10) Her treatments are saving me from far more costly, drastic, and likely damaging procedures.

9) Not only are my chronic pains and functional limitations constantly improving – my whole system keeps getting healthier.

8) Another unexpected bonus: As my physical knots untangle, so do old mental/emotional patterns. A mutually aggravated downward spiral is changing to an upward one, freeing my whole being.

7) New stresses don't get a foothold in my increasingly resilient body (or psyche either)!

All this is because:

6) Theo starts with a vast breadth and depth of knowledge in a wide range of modalities. She loves her work and keeps going to new workshops to learn more.

5) From these she tailors her approach to fit each individual and as each person changes over time. She has an exceptional ability to listen, visually, to an entire being, picking up on subtleties and interconnections which are often surprising, but work wonders.

4) Her wellness center is a shame free (struggle free, fear free) zone. She has a natural respect and affection for actual human beings. No need to brace myself for one more tired sermon here. Instead I can relax while she skillfully opens pathways that make all aspects of healthier living come more naturally. (Part of that upward spiral)

3) Many of her treatments are so gentle, I used to wonder how they could accomplish much. Then I got off the table – wow! I could move better, breathe better – I even felt taller. Turns out I actually am taller. When I leave I often have to adjust my rearview mirror to accommodate new height.

2) She has a great team. This includes some of the best massage therapists I've ever met (and I use to teach massage). Also she sometimes has visiting chiropractors, each with their own unique approaches, and all wonderful.

In short:

1) Dr. Theo Woods embodies the most life giving synthesis of agile mind, honed skills, great hands, warm heart, and delightful spirit. Whether you have a small hitch or a big tangle like mine, I cannot recommend her more highly." - K.A., Rockaway Beach



"Since I started coming in, I've noticed a dramatic change in my pain level. At the end of the day I usually would have some back pain - now I don't have the usual pain nearly as often. The monthly visits help to maintain a healthier back. " -  G. H., Warrenton



"Dr. Theo is a wonderful practitioner. She relieves my neck and jaw pain...something no other medical professional has been able to do. I really appreciate her non-judgmental attitude and her welcoming demeanor. " -  Deb Treusdell



"I thank God for you and your knowledge of the activator methods. I am a true believer. So much so that I emailed my doctor from Columbus to tell him about you. Thank you for putting the smile back on my face and for spending the extra time with me to make sure that I was feeling better before I left your office." - G. S., Portland



"Before I started working with Dr. Woods and Dr. Lanker, I had severe pain in my neck and back from an auto accident. After I started treatment, I have improved sleep, reduced pain to almost nothing, and increased range of movement. Thank you to the professional staff as well. "
- J.E., Astoria
