About Dr. Casey Frieder
Your Trusted Chiropractor in the Rogue Valley & Southern Oregon
Hello, I’m Dr. Casey and I am here to help you feel better. Whether you are suffering from physical pain, the irritation of a strange skin growth, or are feeling mentally overwhelmed and emotionally exhausted, I can help you regain health and wellbeing in body, mind and spirit!
Approach
As an integrative chiropractic physician, I respect the wisdom of nature and your own unique physiology, while enlisting the powers of modern science and ancient healing traditions to deeply support your health and well-being. Whether your problems are physical, emotional, mental or spiritual, I offer the support you need to heal them at the roots. I also believe in a team approach to healthcare and you can rest assured that if my methods are not the right fit for you, I will help you find another skilled practitioner within my extensive referral network.
Experience
I have had a full-time chiropractic practice in Southern Oregon since 2012 and a part-time practice in Encinitas, CA, providing an integrative approach to patient care while always deepening my own education and refining my methods. In 2014 I began training in non-surgical skin lesion removal with Dr. Tel Oren, MD, DC, and have been helping my patients safely remove annoying and potentially dangerous skin growths ever since.
In 2017 I received my certification in Clinical Hypnotherapy through the Leela School of Awakening and the American Council of Hypnotist Examiners and I’ve served as a mentor for students in the Leela School ever since. This training has enabled me to help patients discover and release deeply held trauma and energetic blockages in the physical, emotional and mental bodies.
In 2018 I joined forces with Siskiyou Vital Medicine Naturopathic Clinic in Medford, OR, and began offering functional medicine based primary care, which has greatly enhanced my ability to effectively treat a wide range of illnesses and dis-ease.
From 2022-2024 I served as the Program Director for the Leela School’s state licensed Psilocybin Facilitator Training Program; where I supervised the development of an in-depth curriculum—weaving together ancient knowledge and modern science in preparing students to be competent and compassionate psilocybin facilitators in Oregon’s pioneering psilocybin-assisted therapy ecosystem.
In February 2024 I moved my practice back to Ashland, OR, in order to focus on my core services and work closer to home.
I continue to offer my Non-surgical Skin Growth removal in the Portland metro area with monthly clinics in both Sellwood and Newberg.

Life
I am the proud father of two daughters who do their best to keep me humble at all times. I grew up in the Rocky Mountains of Central Idaho and have been a lifelong athlete and outdoor adventurer. Some of my favorite activities are Alpine Skiing, Rock Climbing, Mountain Biking, Backpacking, Soccer and Pickleball. I also love music and was a member of a Zimbabwean-style marimba band called Rutendo from 2013-2021. During that time we had the honor of opening for acts such as Ziggy Marley and the Buena Vista Social Club. When I’m not caring for patients in the clinic and I’m worn out from playing outside, I enjoy napping, reading, listening to podcasts and sharing gourmet meals with family & friends.
