To the patients of Jasmar Reddin DC
To the patients of Jasmar Reddin DC,
I’ve had the privilege of meeting many of you and look forward to spending some quality time with the rest of you! For those of you I haven’t met yet, my name is Dr. Andrew Carper D.C. I am a chiropractor and have been working with Jasmar for a few months now. Please just call me Andy! And if we must entertain the whole doctor thing, then “Doc” will do. Fair enough?
After working and studying with Jasmar for the last few months, I have some exciting news to share! As of April 4, 2024, my practice, Longevity Chiropractic, has taken over patient care for Jasmar Reddin D.C., P.C. You will see the same familiar faces as Jasmar and Terria have both agreed to stick around for a little while to help me get my bearings before they fully embrace and enjoy their well-deserved retired lives.
I know I don’t need to tell you how much Jasmar cares about each one of you, because I know you feel it when you come in. It’s not possible to be around her and not feel it. That’s a rare thing these days and is becoming increasingly hard to find in a healthcare provider. I know I will never fully fill her shoes, but I will do my best to continue to learn, grow, and always be working toward the highest standard of care. I work hard to create a safe space in my office and I will do everything I can to help you make the best informed health decisions for your life.
My approach to health is simple: find the root of the problem rather than chasing the symptoms.
I treat the aches, pains, and injuries that affect us all from head to toe, with my major focus being on conditions of the head and neck. I’ve struggled with headaches and migraines my entire life and will be the first one to say “They suck.” which is why I have spent quite a bit of time honing my skills to understand and treat headaches. I also have a special interest in treating temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders that cause jaw pain as I work closely with my wife Alex, who is a brilliant dentist in NE Portland. If you have a headache and jawache that you can’t shake, I’m your guy.
My treatment consists of releasing tense and painful muscles with a combination of different massage and stretch techniques, chiropractic adjustments, and embedding rehabilitative movement into your daily life activities to help you return to pain-free function. I also believe in an integrated approach to healthcare, meaning a team of multiple providers with varying specialties and educations. I recognize my own limitations and if I believe a problem is beyond my abilities, I will do my best to help you find the right provider for your problem whether they are a medical doctor, nurse practitioner, physician’s assistant, dentist, podiatrist, physical therapist, orthopedist, or any other area of training. I look forward to helping you find your longevity!
A bit about me outside the office: I grew up in a small town in Northwestern Ohio, Tiffin, before getting a communication degree at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio. Dayton was where I ultimately met my wife, Alex. After a few years working in various unfulfilling corporate jobs, I decided it was time to follow my interests back into the sciences which led me to the University of Western States here in Portland, Oregon. After graduating with my bachelor’s in human biology and doctor of chiropractic, we settled into a life that we love here in NE Portland.
In my free time, you can find me spending quality time with Alex and our dog, Otter. I’ll either be concocting something in the kitchen, working on the house, making music, listening to podcasts, paddling on the water, or adventuring in the wilderness of Oregon and Washington. Feel free to shoot me an email, give me a call, or come see me at the office!
I look forward to seeing you soon!
Dr. Andrew Carper D.C. “Andy”
Owner and Chiropractic Physician, Longevity Chiropractic
