Hello, I'm Dr. Tim Irving, chiropractor, massage therapist and nutritionist. I graduated from Western States Chiropractic College (WSCC) with honors. While at WSCC 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 WSCC 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 WSCC 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 teach Physiology and various clinical, adjusting and clinical skills classes in WSCC's chiropractic program. I also teach a Graston Technique workshop to the chiropractic students at WSCC.
I have extensive training and experience in functional medicine, nutrition, 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 am finishing a Master's in Human Nutrition 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. I look forward to helping you reach your health and wellness goals.
Yours in Health,
Dr. Tim Irving DC, LMT, Nutritionist, CKTP
