Don Peterson, DC

Like most chiropractic practices, mine is a fairly equal mix of ages and activity levels. There are a few kids, a few athletes and a lot of weekend warriors. Since Corvallis is the home of Oregon State University, I have had the opportunity to work with some elite athletes, even an Olympic competitor.

My philosophy hinges on patient centered healthcare. That is healthcare that is centered on your needs and desires. The goal is to involve you in your care from the beginning to the end. You decide the level of care you complete. You will be responsible for being an active participant in your care with home exercises, stretches and life style recommendations. The whole focus of treatment is centered on you and your well-being.
