Catalyst Chiropractic & Rehabilitation

I just saw Dr. Thompson for my neck pain and headache that has been constantly there for a week. His adjustment was amazing and the headache is gone right away! Thank you so much for seeing me right away and helping me!

I am currently 23 weeks pregnant but started seeing Dr. Thompson around week 14. I have a history of back issues and different treatments but have had a good run for the past two years. What triggered the need for care was I had so much back and leg pain that my primary doctor was convinced I had some kind of herniated disc but couldn’t confirm with an x-​ray given the pregnancy. Physical therapy, acupuncture and chiropractic care were all suggested since surgery wasn’t an option. The pain was so unbearable. Pain I’d never experienced before. The kind that would stop me dead in my tracks until the shooting pain passed. At my lowest point I sat at my desk at work in tears so strung out after two sleepless nights because of intense pain. After careful consideration, my doctor prescribed five days of oral steroids. I was optimistic because almost immediately they took the edge off and I began to be able to actually begin to function with pain that was tolerable. Probably took the pain level from a 9 or 10 to 5 – 6. Unfortunately, once those meds ran out, the pain slowly crept back to around a 7 – 8. I started going to PT but didn’t have a great experience there. The cost was insanely expensive for me to show up and be given a list of print out stretches to do. Discouraged, I also tried one session of acupuncture. Again, expensive, and seemed to aggravate the issue. As a last resort I tried the chiropractic care. Now, I’ve had experiences with chiropractors in the past but I have to say, looking back, that I honestly never gave them a chance. I would stop treatment at the first sign of feeling better or just go the medication route of steroids and muscle relaxers including surgery just over two years ago. Being a rookie to pregnancy, you can imagine my feeling of helplessness not being able to pop a pill to feel better! So, I began the only treatment I could that wouldn’t endanger my little baby. I settled on Catalyst Chiropractic because of the online reviews, proximity to home and work and insurance coverage. So, I hobbled into Dr. Thompson’s office for my first appointment. To paint a picture, my right hip sat higher than my left! My body must have been compensating for the pain shooting down my right leg. Dr. completed an assessment and we began treatment. Again, I wasn’t really optimistic at first but had to put my faith in something because this was going to be a long pregnancy if I didn’t. I guess it dawned on me that I was improving when my husband said to me, «What’s going on with you? You’re in a great mood.» For those of you with chronic pain, you know how negatively it can impact your mood. It makes you feel down, depressed and anxious. For me, it meant it was really hard to be excited about my pregnancy. It’s all I thought about and consumed me. My response to my husband was, «Well, I guess today is just a great day. I am not in pain and I feel good!» Now we’re in week 23 of my pregnancy. My appointments are reduced from twice a week to once a week to now every 2. The pain is more of an annoyance. I’m stiff in the morning but that works itself out. I’m not crooked anymore and my back isn’t tender to the touch. I am so grateful and thankful for Dr. Thompson and the impact his care has had on me and my pregnancy. I can finally be excited about our little bundle of joy rather than scared about needing back surgery after she’s born. I highly recommend Catalyst for any chiropractic need!

You can tell that Dr. Thompson cares about his patients. He’s very professional, experienced, and knowledgeable. I’ve learned how to sneeze (without forcing my rib out), lots of stretches and exercises I can do on my own, and when I need an adjustment I know I can trust Dr. Thompson to help me feel better. Highly recommended!

Great atmosphere and energy. Helped greatly in my recovery from the accident! I would recommend Catalyst Chiropractic be your first place to visit.

Prior to seeing Dr. Kip Thompson, I had a severe lower back injury from heavy weightlifting, specifically deadlifts and was in pain for almost 2 weeks. The pain was not getting any better even with me doing foam rolling, lots of stretching and mobility work. I later searched for a highly credible chiropractic in the Beaverton area that’s also covered under my insurance and thanks to the reviews online of Catalyst Chiropractic and Dr. Kip Thompson, I was able to locate someone who could help here.
After 3 visits, I feel almost 100% and that is coming from not being able to sleep on my back or even workout. I am a very active person with weightlifting and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training and it was killing me not being able to do my everyday things, but it’s only been about a week and a half since my first appointment and I am feeling GREAT! Aside from the great recovery results I am getting, I have learned a lot from the Dr. about preventative maintenance as well as more about my own body. The office assistant was also very nice, helpful, and the scheduling for future appointments was not an issue at all. Great environment and in a convenient location!
Thank you Catalyst Chiropractic and Rehabilitation!

When walking into Catalyst for the first time the receptionist was warm and welcoming and very helpful with Insurance. The care I have received at Catalyst has been excellent. When I first began treatment one month ago, I was having a significant amount of pain in my shoulder and down my arm. I am now feeling much better with very little pain. I appreciate that Dr. Thompson is not recommending an indefinite number of treatment sessions but instead is working toward releasing me from regularly scheduled visits when that is appropriate.
It has also been very helpful to me to have a massage therapist in Dr. Thompson’s practice. Jenny seems to be integrating her services with my overall plan of care and I appreciate that.

Dr. Thompson and the staff here is amazing. Nothing but good things to say. Very informative, explains everything to you along the way and is damn good at what he does. I’d recommend Dr. Thompson to anyone.

I have been a patient at Catalyst for quite a few years now and have been absolutely thrilled with the care and expertise.
The office décor is modern and clean and the team is always upbeat.
They didn’t miss a step during the transitioned from Coby to Kip. Both doctors helped me holistically through injuries. Dr. Coby helped me recover from a knee and Dr. Kip helped me recover from a bad sprained ankle and thumb injury.
Dr. Kip is very kind and thorough. He always asks how I am doing, wants to know if anything feels off or different since the last visit. I am very comfortable talking to him about issues and he is genuine in his desire to help and alleviate any issues I may have.
Now that I live downtown, it is much harder for me to get to Beaverton for an appointment, but I can’t yet bring myself to find someone closer to me.
I highly recommend Catalyst Chiropractic!
