Get well. Stay well. Be well!
Hawthorne Wellness Center offers a broad spectrum of integrated, evidence-based healthcare disciplines, as well as movement classes, to help our community get well, stay well, and be well.
In our interdisciplinary setting, individual patient needs are paramount and care is patient-centered. Our goal is to promote health and recovery from illness and injury by drawing on the collective knowledge and resources of our experienced healthcare providers. We offer a nurturing environment where all patients are encouraged to take responsibility for their own well-being in partnership with their physicians.
In the winter of 2005, after 20 years of operating in the Hawthorne neighborhood as Ancina Chiropractic Clinic at S.E. 34th and Hawthorne, we expanded our services and moved to a bright new facility. Our unique, multifaceted healthcare clinic blossomed as Hawthorne Wellness Center. Retaining the friendly, neighborhood character of the previous clinic, Hawthorne Wellness Center currently offers acupuncture, chiropractic care, family medicine, massage therapy, and naturopathic care. A studio behind the clinic houses some of the best movement instructors in Pilates, yoga, and tai chi in the Portland area. Free offstreet parking for both cars and bicycles is also available.
Enjoy a tour of our website to learn more about our services, providers, and classes. You can also schedule an appointment or view our on-line class schedules.

Low Back Pain Study
Dr. Phillip Snell and Dr. Bruce Chaser are among the 16 chiropractic physicians in the Portland area who are participating in a study that has been funded with one of the largest grants in the history of chiropractic medicine to study treatment of one of the most common ailments for which Americans seek care: lower back pain. The historic grant is the largest ever given to a single-study project by the complementary medicine arm of the National Institutes of Health, the nation’s foremost independent source of funding for biomedical health research.
The $2.8 million federal grant is aimed at giving chiropractors more specific treatment plans, patients a firmer idea of how long it will take before they feel better, and insurance companies guidelines on how many visits to cover. The study will run through 2011.
