Dr. Kevin Segal, Chiropractic Physician is the clinic director of Back In Shape Chiropractic and has been serving the Milwaukie and Portland area since 2001 using a variety of treatment techniques and therapies to help thousands of patients in that time.
Dr. Segal's first priority is listening to his patients to know what their goals are for their care. For many, this is being pain-free and functioning better in their daily activities. For others, it is to manage chronic pain. Some patients just want to see a Chiropractor because it feels great to get adjusted and or to maximize their athletic performance. Dr. Segal is committed to helping his patients with their specific priorities and teaching his patients how to achieve their optimal health with a "whole person approach". This approach to wellness means looking for underlying causes of any disturbance or disruptions (which may or may not be causing symptoms at the time) in the body, and suggesting interventions and lifestyle adjustments that would optimize the conditions for normal function. Using this approach, Dr. Segal is able to help you to accelerate and/or maintain your journey to good health.
When he is not helping patients to feel their best, Dr. Segal spends time with his family and enjoying many outdoor activities, including biking, kayaking, and hiking in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. When the weather is not as nice, he can frequently be seen at an area gym working out. In fact, he used to be a personal Fitness trainer, helping his clients to get strong, flexible, and maintain a healthy weight.
He is originally from the New York City area, where he grew up and completed his Bachelor's degree in Biology. After spending a few years working in the pharmaceutical industry and realizing he wanted to do something more meaningful to him in healthcare, he moved to Portland to attend Western States Chiropractic College and graduated from there in 2001. He started his practice as a chiropractor in Milwaukie immediately after graduating and has been at this location ever since, helping many people in the community. He has been happily married to his wife for over 20 years and together they have two children and a Labradoodle name Tova.
Dr Segal is passionate about science and evidence-based care and making sure his patients are as informed as possible about what actually works. He is respectful of people of all different backgrounds and understands how sometimes those different backgrounds can have an impact on health.
