Amy Goebel, DC (She/Her)
Originally from western Massachusetts, Dr. Amy graduated from the University of Massachusetts before a series of running injuries led her to a career in chiropractic care. A lifelong runner, Dr. Amy discovered her interest in exercise and human movement while attempting to recover from various overuse injuries on her own. When faced with a stubborn injury she could not resolve, she sought care from numerous medical providers with minimal results. On a whim, she tried chiropractic care which finally helped resolve the issue. Hoping to provide the same care to others, Dr. Amy moved to Portland to attend the University of Western States and pursue a Doctorate in Chiropractic medicine.
Dr. Amy graduated summa cum laude with her Doctorate of Chiropractic from the University of Western States along with her Bachelors degree in Human Biology and Masters degree in Sports Medicine. She sought out additional education through courses in McKenzie Diagnostic Technique (MDT), Functional Gait Assessment, Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS), and adjusting technique through the Motion Palpation Institute (MPI). Now as a practicing chiropractor, Dr. Amy is also a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician® through the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians.
Dr. Amy loves helping patients from all walks of life stay active and keep doing what they love–whether it’s running a marathon or spending time in the garden. No matter if the focus is resolving an acute injury, addressing nagging aches and pains, or just injury prevention, she is dedicated to helping her patients reach their goals through a patient-focused, movement-centered approach. Dr. Amy utilizes a wide variety of treatment techniques including targeted adjustments, soft tissue manipulation, cupping, class 4 laser, Kinesio taping, instrument assisted soft tissue manipulation, movement assessment, patient education, and rehab tailored to the individual and their needs. She also stays up to date with research to find the most effective ways to keep patients moving pain free.
In her free time, she can usually be spotted running around her neighborhood, spending time outdoors, or exploring Portland with her partner Tim.
