I thought chiropractic was just a treatment for back pain, but after twelve years on the National Rowing Team, two Olympic medals and a virtually injury-free career, I realized the benefits of chiropractic care were much more wide reaching. You see, I was just like many of you. I went to a chiropractor on the advice of a friend.
We use a number of highly-effective adjusting approaches to help improve spinal biomechanics and reduce nervous system interference. The approach we use is based on our clinical judgment and years of experience. Think of an adjustment as "tuning" a piano, adjusting each string so it produces the perfect tone.
If you've ever gone to a social event where you didn't know anyone, you know how uncomfortable that can make you feel. Our goal is to eliminate every shred of apprehension and make you feel at home. Since chiropractic care involves a series of visits, with each one building on the ones before, it's important that our relationship can go the distance.
When you first arrive at West Fourth Chiropractic, you will see a modern, clean, street level office. You will be greeted by our super Chiropractic Assistant - Carla. You will then be escorted into a consultation room to watch a brief 4 min video before meeting Dr. Derek. We will discuss your health concerns and any other questions you have.

Dr. Porter is a fantastic chiropractor. He genuinely cares about the wellbeing of each of his patients, and spends as much time as required to make sure you are feeling great when you leave. Having been to three Olympic Games and winning a gold and silver medal in rowing for Team Canada, he particularly adept at treating all levels of athletes. I look forward to continuing my treatment with Dr. Porter.

Dr.Derek Porter is so fantastic, this time last year I couldn't walk a couple blocks without aches and pains, it is so nice to be able to hike again with my family and friends. Thank you for all your adjustments and teaching me how to do self care at home to help rehabilitate myself back to feeling more like myself again...and who knew it was all stemming from my neck! 5 stars!
