Chiropractic is a recognized healthcare profession that focuses intently on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, with particular emphasis on the intricate relationship between the spine, nervous system, and overall health. These disorders often manifest as various forms of pain and discomfort, including persistent low back pain, chronic neck stiffness, tension headaches, sciatica, and other joint-related issues that can significantly interfere with daily activities, work, and overall quality of life. What sets Dr. Judith Boothby apart, as evidenced by numerous patient testimonials, is her distinct approach.

Dr Judy Boothby is an instrumental support to our family. She supports our whole family – myself, my husband, and our kids ages 1 and 3. Dr Boothby is a healer, grounded in more than 38+ years of experience helping people move again without pain. In my experience, her adjustments target the tissues (muscles, cartilage, fascia) and nerves rather than the skeletal system so you won’t hear clicks from bones adjusting. In my experience with other chiropractors, skeletal adjustments are superficial and as a result, you’re often seeking their support repeatedly. Dr Boothby is helping to realign the tissues so the strong parts of the body can get back to doing their jobs. As a mechanical engineer, she is able to hold the entire body in her awareness so her adjustments deeply support the whole system. She helps you understand where the tender parts of your body are, to be aware of them, and to support them. She and her team provide simple exercises and techniques to help you strengthen in between sessions. She often tries to keep you out of her office. She’s busy and she doesn’t ask you to come every week unless it’s an extreme situation (see below with my daughter) and only then it’s for a specific amount of time (like every week for 4 weeks).The first person in our family who Dr Boothby helped was my daughter who at the time was 5 months old. As an infant, my daughter could not nurse without being asleep or lying on her side. This began at birth. We tried what felt like everything: a tongue tie revision, support from a top lactation consultant team, visits with a craniosacral practitioner and a well-known chiropractor. At the first session, Dr Boothby was able to see that my daughter was unable to coordinate the mechanism of nursing. She also named some big elephants in the room such as my daughter and my 'lack of trust’ of one another and the concept of me ‘learning rejection’ early due to my daughter’s unwillingness to nurse with me while awake. I appreciated Dr Boothby’s candor in these moments and the compassion in which she shared. I feel like this is when I began trusting her as a practitioner and someone who was supporting me beyond my daughter's physical constraints. After a few short (15-minute) sessions, my daughter began to be able to breastfeed in the cross cradle position while awake!!! It was absolutely amazing and positively impacted our entire family’s well being. I will forever be grateful for the gift to breastfeed my daughter. Now my daughter runs towards me with joy as she signs for milk. As she has grown into a walking, running, jumping, and still nursing toddler, we continue to check in with Dr Boothby if she has a major fall or her movements seem misaligned. I’m grateful to call on Dr Boothby as a resource in these stressful moments. She has taught me that babies and young children’s bodies are programmed to grow and heal in powerful ways. And if we can catch and support a young child back into alignment their gait, how they breathe, how they perceive and respond to stress, their behavior, their language, etc. will be positively impacted.After seeing the results of my daughter’s sessions with Dr Boothby, I asked if she could support me. I had some long-time injuries and was still rehabbing my pelvic floor after two births. After seeing Dr Boothby monthly for about a year, I feel grateful to no longer carry the story and experience of having an injured pelvic floor. For me, the quality of life extends further. Dr Boothby helped me trust in the seat of my strength. She has supported me through a huge period of personal growth. My other older injuries are no longer impacting me. I feel connected to my body; there are no blank or dead zones. At her core, Dr Boothby is a healer, a champion, and a confidant. I wish everyone could have the experience to work with a practitioner like Dr Boothby.If you choose to see her, bring your curiosity and be open to the idea that -- with your own hard work -- more than just your physical symptoms can shift.

Back in 2010, I was a 28 year old with chronic back and knee pain. My supervisor at the time couldn't believe that I was "so healthy and young but in so much pain." Her daughter and granddaughter were patients of Dr. Boothby, and she attributed Judy with helping her granddaughter's teeth to finally arrive (after they were long overdue). I had seen different doctors and chiropractors, done physical therapy, tried various exercises, and nothing had made much of a difference.Dr. Boothby worked with me to not only reduce pain but also to help my body move into new healthier patterns that allowed me to permanently break the pain cycle and feel stronger and more confident in my body. Dr. Boothby isn't a doctor who wants to keep you coming back over and over again for continued treatments. She wants to help you get better so that you never need to return!Dr. Boothby is a true healer. As a former structural engineer, I've witnessed her thinking about bodies through this unique lens- showing me on a diagram of the human body how things are tied together. She has a brilliant mind combined with rare intuitive knowledge that she brings to her whole body work.Her expertise was amazing when I was pregnant and preparing my body for childbirth! Dr. Boothby is wonderful human being, and I am SO happy that she has returned to Pdx!

It's been my utmost blessing to have met and worked with Judith recently and 2 decades ago. Her proficiency in healing traumas involving soft tissue injuries is amazing, on the line of par excellence. With Judith you work with her, and with restorative manipulation she teaches to you, and your body... a breath of rejuvenation. With her personal fitness trainer, Charles, par excellence, his instruction is the best I've ever had, in getting my body balanced. These 2 are an amazing team ... they work together with you, with wonderful curative results. Judith is the best in her field, and greatly appreciated.... Many wishes

My daughter with mild CP and Autism was referred to Dr. Judith Boothby to help improve a number of systems in her body. My daughter has responded quickly to Dr. Boothby’s adjustments and the exercises she sends us home to work on together. Very impressed with her knowledge of the body and neurological connections. She is careful and attentive to my daughter as her needs fluctuate. I highly recommend working with Dr. Boothby.

I sought treatment from Dr. Boothby because of back pain. I’d had issues for years. I learned a lot about my my body. It’s hard to describe the treatments because they aren’t traditional chiropractic adjustments - no cracking. There were energy releases (though I’m not sure she calls them that), and her teaching and facilitating my own building of the supports from within me to understand, listen and treat my body. I recommend Dr. Boothby frequently to others, and am so glad she’s back in Portland!!
