Hello, I'm Dr. Tim Irving, chiropractor, massage therapist, hypnotherapist and nutritionist. I graduated fromThe University of Western States Chiropractic (UWS)with honors. While at UWS I took the opportunity to dive deeper into the available knowledge base; and wrote a thesis on the relationship between pain and muscle activity that sparked many intellectual discussions amongst my classmates and future colleagues. I accepted an additional internship in my last quarter at UWS in OHSU's Integrative Medicine clinic where I had the opportunity to examine and advise patients along side naturopaths, medical doctors and acupuncturists.

Right before graduation, I helped UWS develop and implement their massage therapy training program. Since graduation, I have committed myself to both clinical practice and teaching; embodying the "doctor as teacher" aspect of my training. In addition to a successful clinical practice, I taught Physiology, Soft Tissue, Physical Diagnosis and other various clinical, adjusting and clinical skills classes in UWS's chiropractic program. I am currently teaching at the National College of Naturopathic Medicine (NCNM) in their physical and basic sciences classes. In addition, I have taught classes for The Graston Technique as well as teaching a Graston Technique workshop to the chiropractic students at UWS and doctors, physical therapists and occupational therapists.

I have extensive training and experience in functional medicine, nutrition, hypnotherapy, chiropractic and therapeutic massage therapy and am actively pursuing new ways to become a leading force in the evolution of chiropractic and healthcare. Health and wellness through physical, nutritional and dietary treatments is such a passion of mine that I went on to a Master's in Human Nutrition program in 2007 at the University of Bridgeport and have recently finished a 5 month training program in functional medicine. With hopes to revolutionize the integration of diet, nutrition, functional medicine and detoxification issues into clinical practice, I am always looking for educational opportunities to reach my goals. Hypnosis seemed to fill a void in the treatments I offered my patients. Chiropractic and manual medicine adequately deals with physical problems you may have; nutrition and functional medicine naturally deals with chemical and physiological problems; hypnosis allows me to help those with a desire for change but who need help on a subconscious level. Through the Oregon Society of Clinical Hypnosis, I have obtained training to offer patients in Portland, Oregon, the opportunity to experience truly hollistic care. I look forward to helping you reach all of your health and wellness goals.

Yours in Health,
Tim Irving DC, MS, LMT, CKTP, Nutritionist
