Better Life Wellness Center

Here is some information from Dr. Ashley Jarrett regarding how and why we set up treatment plans.

Chiropractic care is much like physical therapy or going to the gym, you wouldn't expect one workout to make you strong, and one adjustment usually isn't enough to correct movement patterns that developed over months or even years. It usually takes several visits to feel better because the body doesn't change instantly. When a joint isn't moving properly the surrounding muscles tighten to protect the area. A single adjustment can improve movement, but those muscles don't reset right away, they need time and repetition to adapt.
There is also a healing process involved. Inflamed tissues need time to calm down, and the nervous system needs repeated input to "learn" a healthier movement pattern. Early treatments often focus on reducing pain and restoring motion, while later visits help stabilize those improvements so the issue doesn't return.

So as you can see, under-treating can be just as harmful as over-treating. Our goal is never to keep you coming in forever. Instead, we recommend care based on your condition, your progress, and your personal goals. We believe in ethical treatment plans, education, and creating individualized care plans based on what is best for YOU!

Happy National Chiropractic Assistant Day to Heather and Ashley!

CA's complete specialized training and testing to learn patient care, rehabilitation procedures, and clinic operations.

Thank you Heather and Ashley for the important work you do!!

Now for a man who needs no introduction, but he does deserve recognition so here we go!
Dr. Naugle is the owner and lead Chiropractor at Better Life Wellness Center. He was born and raised in Roseburg, completed his undergraduate studies at Linfield University, and went on to receive his Doctorate in Chiropractic at University of Western States in Portland. Shortly after starting his own practice in 2006 he obtained a certification as a Chiropractic Sports Physician.
Dr. Naugle genuinely cares about his patients and takes great joy in helping people improve their health and quality of life. We are grateful for the dedication and care he brings to Better Life every day!
When Dr. Naugle isn't in the office treating patients or managing Better Life's ever growing staff, he can most often be found hunting and fishing all around the Umpqua Valley with his son Brooks.

Heather is Dr. Jarrett's chiropractic assistant. Heather is the kind of person who is always willing to jump in and lend a hand wherever it's needed. Her hardworking attitude and reliability make her an important part of the team.
When she's not in the office you can find Heather chasing after her son Walker and baking homemade sourdough bread! : )

As our practice has continued to grow we have decided to create a separate social media page dedicated exclusively to our our counseling center services. This page will allow us to better share mental health resources, therapist introductions, counseling updates, wellness tips, and supportive content specifically focused on emotion and mental well-being.
Our chiropractic and massage services will still remain active on this page, while our counseling center will now have it's own dedicated space and community.
We would love your support by following our new counseling center page and helping us spread the word!
