Last week, a medical doctor from London asked a great question—one that many of our patients may have wondered about but don't always ask:

'Why doesn't my adjustment hold?'

I shared my answer in about three paragraphs and discussed how the various physical, chemical, and emotional stressors we face every day can affect each person differently. The conversation reminded me that this is a topic worth exploring in greater detail.

As a result, I decided to write a more formal article about it.

Until then, stop by and say "Hi." We miss seeing you!

We have been using ChiroThin for our patients for almost 10 years, and our patients are happy. This isn't a chemical drug that destroys the gut or muscles or organs...it isn't a 3-hour exercise program every day...it is real whole-food the way our body was designed. And after 6 weeks, your body has to be better...healthier...and gives your the catalyst and momentum to go forward on your own. And, of course, we can help as you go. Call us at 503-981-4591 and see how it works...we'll see you soon.

In today's world, health care often focuses on managing symptoms rather than helping people achieve their fullest health potential. At Northwood Health Center, we believe true health is about much more than simply feeling better—it's about functioning better, adapting better, and living life with greater energy, purpose, and resilience.

Every day, our team is guided by a mission that Dr. DeShaw originated in 1984 and continues to shape how we care for our patients, support our community, and contribute to a healthier world.

Mission
To deliver the highest quality health care to as many people as possible.

Purpose
To provide an avenue for individuals to achieve optimum health on all levels — physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Philosophy
By removing interference from the nervous system, the body is allowed to function at optimum levels, creating a more influential individual over their environment.

Vision
To raise society’s awareness about health care. As more people achieve optimum health, they will influence society toward a healthier world.

What does this mean at Northwood?
For our patients, it means looking beyond symptoms and focusing on how well the body is functioning. Whether someone comes to us seeking relief from pain, recovering from an injury, improving their health, or simply striving to be their best, our goal is to help them unlock their body's natural ability to heal, adapt, and thrive.

For our practice, it means continually pursuing excellence in the care we provide. We are committed to education, innovation, and serving each person with compassion, integrity, and a genuine desire to help them reach their health goals.

For our community, it means helping families become healthier together. Healthy individuals become healthier parents, spouses, employees, friends, and leaders. As health improves within families, the positive effects ripple throughout schools, workplaces, churches, and neighborhoods.

On a global level, we believe lasting change begins with one person making healthier choices. Every individual who gains greater health and awareness has the opportunity to influence others. As these positive changes spread from person to person and community to community, they contribute to a healthier, more vibrant world.

Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your health journey. We are honored by your trust and remain committed to helping you and your family achieve your highest potential for health and wellness.

And as a valued patient of Northwood Health Center, you are an ambassador of our mission. Every time you share your health journey, encourage a friend or family member to seek care, or demonstrate the benefits of living a healthier life, you help expand the impact of our vision. We invite you to help us fulfill our mission by letting those around you know that we are here, ready to serve, and committed to helping individuals and families achieve their highest potential for health. Together, we can reach more people, strengthen our community, and create a healthier world—one person, one family, and one life at a time.

Serving Health, Hope, and Healing,
Dr. Dan and all of us at Northwood Health Center

Here is a blog I wrote to explore what crash reconstruction science reveals about vehicle collisions, injury mechanisms, and patient outcomes. Drawing from the Texas A&M TEEX Collision Reconstruction for the Medical Practitioner Program, this article explains the physics behind impact forces, tissue damage, and why even “minor” accidents can produce serious long-term injuries. I appreciate any questions or comments.

Auto Accident?!~ (Why Early Evaluation Matters)

One of the biggest mistakes after a car accident?
Waiting too long to get evaluated.

Many people feel “okay” immediately after a crash because adrenaline temporarily masks pain and inflammation.

But whiplash injuries commonly worsen over the next several days.

Without proper evaluation and treatment, symptoms can become chronic and much harder to resolve.

Common long-term problems include:
• Chronic neck pain
• Headaches
• Stiffness
• Nerve irritation
• Reduced mobility

Research shows that up to 50% of whiplash patients report pain lasting months or even years after injury, and up to 30% experience persistent moderate-to-severe pain and disability.

Early movement, evaluation, and appropriate care have been shown to improve outcomes and reduce pain and disability after whiplash injuries.

If you’ve been in a crash recently — even a “minor” one — don’t ignore the warning signs.
