Dr. Michael Warren is a proud Rogue Valley native and the founder of Crater Chiropractic in Central Point, Oregon. Born and raised in Southern Oregon, Dr. Warren’s journey into chiropractic care began with a personal story of healing. After a high school football injury left him with a herniated disc and ongoing pain, traditional medical treatments offered little relief—until chiropractic care changed everything.

That experience not only healed his back but also reshaped his life’s purpose. Inspired by how effective chiropractic treatment could be, Dr. Warren committed himself to helping others achieve pain relief and lasting wellness through natural, hands-on care.

After graduating from Crater High School, Dr. Warren attended Southern Oregon University, where he studied pre-med, before earning his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Western States Chiropractic College in Portland. Between college and chiropractic school, he spent a year in New Zealand, playing professional men’s fastpitch softball—a reflection of his lifelong dedication to movement, strength, and healthy living.

In 1994, Dr. Warren returned to Southern Oregon and opened his first chiropractic clinic in Central Point. As the community and his practice grew, he built the current Crater Chiropractic Clinic in 2007. In 2018, he welcomed his longtime friend and fellow chiropractor, Dr. Michael Powell, expanding the clinic’s ability to serve more families across the Rogue Valley.

For nearly three decades, Dr. Warren has helped thousands of patients from Central Point, Medford, and surrounding Southern Oregon communities find relief from back pain, neck pain, sports injuries, and chronic conditions. His approach goes beyond simply managing symptoms—he focuses on identifying and treating the root cause of pain. Each care plan is personalized and may include spinal adjustments, rehabilitative exercises, laser therapy, and nutritional support to promote long-term health.

Dr. Warren was also the first chiropractor to introduce Erchonia laser therapy to the Rogue Valley. For more than nine years, he has used this advanced technology to deliver outstanding results for patients dealing with a wide range of conditions, including many not typically treated through chiropractic methods.

His holistic approach combines chiropractic adjustments with soft-tissue and muscle therapies such as interferential current therapy, ultrasound, core muscle testing, cupping, Kinesio taping, and targeted rehabilitation exercises—helping patients recover faster and maintain better mobility.

Dr. Warren is also licensed to perform ODOT physicals and has completed thousands of sports physicals for student athletes across the Rogue Valley.

Dedicated to lifelong learning, Dr. Warren continues to stay up to date on the latest chiropractic research and evidence-based care techniques. His mission is simple: to help every patient restore function, relieve pain, and live a healthier, more active life.

Whether you’re seeking relief from back or neck pain, recovering from an injury, or simply looking to improve your overall wellness, Dr. Michael Warren and the Crater Chiropractic team are here to help you feel and function your best.
