Dr. Michael Powell brings over two decades of chiropractic experience to patients in Medford and throughout the Rogue Valley. He began practicing in 1995 in Eugene, Oregon, where he spent seven and a half years working with the University of Oregon athletic department while also serving in a hospital-based role at McKenzie Willamette Hospital in Springfield.

In 2018, Dr. Powell joined his best friend and colleague, Dr. Michael Warren, at Crater Chiropractic Clinic. Over the years, Dr. Powell has owned and operated several multidisciplinary clinics that integrated complementary and alternative medicine with traditional Western care. His commitment to collaboration and innovation has helped countless patients achieve meaningful, long-term results.

Dr. Powell has spoken at functional medicine events across the United States and has worked with athletes at every level — from youth and high school players to Division I college teams, NFL athletes, Major League Baseball professionals, and Olympic hopefuls. His work in sports performance and rehabilitation is grounded in years of clinical practice and a deep understanding of human biomechanics.

His clinical focus includes the treatment of injuries resulting from motor vehicle accidents and sports trauma, with an emphasis on physical rehabilitation and functional neurology. He also utilizes advanced laser photobiomodulation therapy — a cutting-edge technique shown to accelerate healing up to 400 times faster than normal. Dr. Powell’s patient-centered approach is rooted in identifying and addressing the root causes of pain and dysfunction, rather than simply masking symptoms.

Known for his upbeat energy and belief in the power of a positive mindset, Dr. Powell views laughter and a good attitude as essential parts of the healing process. His goal is to help every patient reduce pain, restore function, and return to the activities they love — stronger, healthier, and more balanced than before.

Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, or simply ready to optimize your health, Dr. Michael Powell and the Crater Chiropractic team are here to help you reach your full potential.
