Originally from Ontario Canada, Dr. Scherer traveled to upstate New York to attend New York Chiropractic College. It was her love of the environment that drew her to Oregon and her lifetime immersion in all aspects of renewable energy that brought her to North Portland Wellness Center. A chiropractic patient herself since age 5, Dr. Scherer credits chiropractic adjustments with her and her family’s good health and active lifestyles.
Dr.Scherer’s calm energy and warm demeanor makes her an ideal Physician for nervous patients or those new to Chiropractic. She believes in patient centered care and earning the trust of her patients. She will not proceed with a treatment plan until all questions have been answered and the patient knows what to expect. With a touch that is firm yet gentle, Dr. Scherer is successful in treating patients of all ages and body types.
Certified in Graston Technique, Dr. Scherer uses a series of specially designed stainless steel tools to locate and treat both chronic muscle problems that have been plaguing the patient for years and acute muscle spasms brought on by the rigors of everyday life. Graston Technique has also been shown to reduce the adhesions produced by scar tissue and has been very successfully used in the treatment of conditions such as carpal tunnel and tennis elbow, often eliminating the need for surgery. Not ready to stop learning, she continues to attend seminars to expand her skills and has completed classes in Kinesiotaping and is certified in Animal Chiropractic by the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association.
Dr. Scherer is looking forward to discovering all that Portland has to offer.
