Dr. Kevin Segal, Chiropractic Physician
Back In Shape Chiropractic · Milwaukie, Oregon
Dr. Segal has been serving patients in Milwaukie and the greater Portland area since opening his practice in 2001. In more than 25 years of clinical practice, he has helped thousands of patients recover from injuries, manage pain, and move better.
His first priority is listening. Before anything else, Dr. Segal takes the time to understand what brought you in, what your goals are, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. The evaluation comes before any treatment recommendations.
Dr. Segal is passionate about evidence-based care and patient education. He takes a whole-person approach — looking at how muscles, joints, posture, and lifestyle all contribute to pain and function. He has a particular interest in TMJ disorders and has treated many patients with jaw pain and related conditions.
A graduate of Western States Chiropractic College in Portland, he also holds a Bachelor's degree in Biology and previously worked as a personal fitness trainer and physical therapy aide. He lives locally with his family and enjoys tennis, working out at the gym, volunteering, and hiking in the Pacific Northwest.
What patients tell us changes for them
Conservative, personalized chiropractic care can have a meaningful impact on daily life when the underlying cause of pain is properly addressed.
Less Pain Day to Day
Reduced aching and stiffness — especially after sleeping, sitting for long periods, or physical activity.
Better Movement & Mobility
Improved range of motion in the neck, back, and hips — making daily activities, work, and exercise more manageable.
Better Sleep
When pain decreases, sleep often improves. Many patients report waking with less stiffness and more energy.
Return to Work & Activity
Getting back to work, driving, or exercise after an injury is a common goal — and a common outcome for our patients.
Fewer Headaches
Headaches related to neck tension, muscle tightness, or cervicogenic causes often respond well to chiropractic care.
Understanding Your Condition
Knowing what is causing your pain — and what you can do about it — is itself a meaningful part of recovery.
* Individual results vary. Chiropractic care is not appropriate for all conditions. A thorough evaluation helps determine whether it may help you.

Yes. Oregon's Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage can often pay for chiropractic care following a motor vehicle accident, regardless of who caused the crash. PIP coverage and limits vary by policy. Our office can help verify your benefits — call or text (503) 788-3800.
Yes — delayed pain after a car accident is common and well-documented. Soft tissue injuries can take hours, days, or even weeks to become noticeable. If you were in a collision and are now experiencing neck pain, back pain, headaches, or stiffness, it is worth having an evaluation even if you felt fine initially.
We are in-network with many major plans including Regence, PacificSource, Moda, Kaiser, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, Trillium OHP, CareOregon OHP, Medicare, and VA. Coverage varies by plan and diagnosis. Contact our office to verify your specific benefits before your first visit.
In most cases, no referral is needed to schedule a chiropractic evaluation. Exceptions may apply for certain insurance plans or VA authorizations. Our office can help you determine what is needed for your specific situation.
Chiropractic care is one of the most studied conservative approaches for back and neck pain. A thorough evaluation helps identify what is contributing to your pain — and a personalized care plan is built from there. Many patients with acute back pain, neck pain, stiffness, or related headaches respond well to chiropractic treatment.
Yes. If you were injured on the job, your employer's workers' compensation insurance may cover chiropractic care. You do not need a referral from another physician to see Dr. Segal for a work injury in Oregon. Contact our office to discuss your situation.
No. Under Oregon law, your employer and their insurer cannot require you to see a specific provider or direct your care to a doctor of their choosing. You have the right to choose your own health care provider — including a chiropractic physician — after a work-related injury. This right is established by the Oregon Workers' Compensation Division.

On an accepted workers' compensation claim in Oregon, you are not liable for payment on medical services related to your accepted injury — your provider should not bill you directly. If your claim is denied, you do have the right to appeal that decision. Our office can help walk you through what to expect. Contact us to discuss your specific situation. (Source: Oregon WCD)
These are common reasons patients come in. Headaches related to neck tension, sciatica-type symptoms, hip pain, and muscle tightness often have a musculoskeletal component that chiropractic care can address. A thorough evaluation helps clarify what is driving your specific symptoms.
Yes. Dr. Segal has a longstanding interest in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Conservative chiropractic care addressing the jaw joint, neck, and surrounding muscles can be an effective approach for TMJ symptoms. Visit our TMJ page or OregonTMJ.com to learn more.
