Who We Are

THE DOCTORS:

Dr. Darah Ashton

is a welcoming and caring person, which translates immediately into her work as a
chiropractor. She draws on many years of experience in diagnosing the source of your pain and applying a variety of treatments to bring your body back into balance. Darah strives to make each patient feel important and valued; she enjoys creating and implementing plans for your recovery.

Darah got her bachelor’s degree in Business and graduated with honors from Western States Chiropractic College in 1992. She also continues to keep her knowledge up-to-date with continuing education in patient care, new techniques and modalities.

Dr. Darcy Tetzlaff

loves working with people, from young to old and from different walks of life. She brings a personalized approach to treatment while valuing a teamwork approach to patient care. Dr. Darcy loves to teach her patients how to better care for their bodies so they can "pay it forward".

Darcy received her Doctorate of Chiropractic Medicine in 2014 from the University of Western States here in Portland and received her undergraduate degree in Psychology with emphasis in Health Promotions in 2005.

In her free time, Darcy enjoys spending time in nature, volunteering in the community, spending time with her friends and pets, and watching a good movie.

Dr Tom Walton

strongly believes that health is something that comes from within and is an inherent quality of our bodies. He appreciates our natural recuperative abilities and feels that by supporting the structure and condition of the body we are able to influence the ability of the body to heal. "My goal is to provide the ideal environment to promote the body's restorative function, to relieve pain by natural methods and to encourage a healthier life style through education."


Dr. Tom received his undergraduate degree in human biology and his doctorate in chiropractic from the University of Western States in 2010. He currently teaches full time at the National University of Naturopathic Medicine and at the University of Western States as well as serving patients through his practice here.


Since 2001 Tom has enjoyed an active role in Portland theater and film. The focus of much of his acting career has been to bring to life the works of William Shakespeare.
