I've lived with impaired mobility for over 2 years after falling thru rotten boards on a deck at a…read morerental. The fall affected so many aspects of my life, but the hardest to deal with was lack of mobility, that and constant pain. As well as the depression that hit hard with my lack of mobility. My son recommended Living Well Chiropractic, and I scheduled my first appt. Dr Brian and his staff are amazing. His staff work hard at accommodating the patients schedule! I mean they are fantastic. Dr Brian goes over everything at the first few appointments, gives you a map of your treatment plan, and honestly sets you so at ease. It doesn't happen quickly, it takes time getting back to normal; but changes have been dramatic. I was living with constant pain. My pain levels are drastically lower. Walking, just walking was difficult, and over the course of my treatments my walking is so much more stabilized. I'm moving easier, my endurance is stronger. Im tackling things I thought were gone for me. Best decision I ever made was calling Living Well and setting up that first appointment. It just keeps getting better!!

Dr. Brian , April and Amelia are amazing at there jobs! It's a great place to get fixed.read more

Dr. Kay and team literally saved me…read more I have a very bad back (multiple surgeries on it and a lot of pain) I was getting debilitating migraines every week until I started going here. Dr. Kay started working on my back, neck, and TMJ (which I didn't even realize I had) and I have never felt better. I think the whole team is well trained and Dr. Kay can intuit exactly what to do to relieve pain and tension. It is like MAGIC how much better I feel when I leave. And everyone there from being checked in to the massage therapist to the chiropractor all make you feel seen. I have gone to a lot of places where you feel more like a hunk of meat, but the genuine empathy and care and attention they give to each of their patients is astounding. I can't recommend them enough! It is the best place for your pain and aches and your soul!

I was a chiropractor skeptic. Yes, everyone raves about their chiropractor, but it always seemed to…read morebe in the context of "Oh, man, I need to get back to the chiro, I just feel terrible if I'm not there every 2 weeks". My perception was that chiropractors were a sort of temporary fix rather than a solution. Dr. Word has changed that! After several months of working from home, I was so stiff I couldn't stretch one muscle group without pulling another. I finally decided to try this whole chiropractor thing and all I can say is, "wow, I was wrong". Dr. Word obviously sees his role as understanding the root of aches and pains and giving people the tools to really feel better; he is clearly sincerely invested in the well being of his clients. I felt like a new person after that first visit, but even more importantly, I've been able to take action at home under Dr. Word's guidance to actually solve issues, not just temporarily relieve them. I'll definitely continue to see Dr. Word for regular maintenance now that I see the value, but I feel empowered to set that schedule based on how I'm feeling and find that I'm able to go more time (rather than less) between visits as I make progress. Highly, highly recommend Dr. Word, even if (or especially if) you're a chiropractic skeptic like I was!

Long wait, not worth it…read more I had an issue and was in a lot of pain a few weeks ago and I wanted to start using a Chiropractor here on the island instead of going all the way to Poulsbo where I was already an established client. I called a few places to find out that the hours are pretty random and finally I got in touch with this place. I told the girl on the phone about my problem and asked for an appointment. She told me that they had a very busy office and the soonest appointment was going to be in 3 weeks. Gahhhh! I am in pain and I need to get in sooner. So I made the appointment and in the meantime I went to my standby in Poulsbo and got immediate relief. I asked, in the future, after I am established, is it this hard to get an appointment if I were to need immediate relief, I was told yes. So this is not the best place to be a patient, don't expect to be able to get in within a few days, even if you are already a paying customer. Anyway I finally make it to the day of the appointment and I sat there for 25 minutes past my appointment time before the "Dr." saw me. Terrible first impression, and I didn't even get an apology. It was an odd treatment and I don't really feel like much was done to help. She said that she wanted me to come back in for a follow up but there was no receptionist to schedule for me. Time to shop around again :-(

Dr. Ellingsen has a firm yet delicate touch and is very sensitive to the energy of her client, both physically and emotionally. After I was in a car accident, she gently helped me relax my neck and shoulders (it took a while) and after that treatment series was done, helped me find gentle exercises that sped my recovery as well. Over the years, Dr. Mari has helped me through a wide range of injuries and always with a beneficial outcome. True, there can be a wait for her services, thanks to her thoroughness (and kindness). I highly and warmly recommend Dr. Mari.

I am very pleased with my recent experience at Elevate…read more Jason was very attentive as I explained my range-of-motion challenges. Using a deep tissue massage-like therapy called active release technique, he worked through tight affected areas breaking down adhesions. This part of the visit lasted about thirty minutes, at which time I was seen by a PT (after having consulted with Jason) who customized an exercise program to help me re-build strength, improve range-of-motion, etc. We went through a series of exercises, always adjusting for proper form. (After the visit the office sends an email with the exercises in short video format to help you remember). Each visit built on the previous exercises. In total, I had about 6-8 visits. Elevate consists of a team of knowledgeable and caring professionals, in a space that is warm and inviting. I have been to other PT offices in the past that have been adequate and satisfactory. Elevate is co-ordinated and streamlined and made for a seamless experience, leading to, in my case, a speedy recovery. I highly recommend.

It was a Saturday, I was new in Bainbridge and did not know where to look. I turned to Yelp and saw positive reviews and called the phone number. By chance, Dr. Petheram was in the office to catch up on paperwork. Luckily for me, he told me to come in to the office and he would have a look. From the first appointment he listened to my concerns, and used a restrained, minimalistic treatment approach. Immediately he worked on loosening up my seized-up, tight, sprain. He has a back stretcher machine that allows the body to be gently mechanically stretched particularly the lumbar (lower) back. He also uses a vibrator to stimulate muscles. He uses a little focussed hammer tool to help with spine alignment. There is very gentle spinal manipulation only as needed. Dr. Petheram is certified in using a laser which greatly reduces inflammation through photo-bio response at the cellular level. Laser was helping me to feel less stiff almost right away. Finally he is certified in "taping" using rock tape. This "tape" technique helps lift the skin over the concerned area, to encourage blood circulation underneath the skin and promotes healing. Within 3 times of going I felt I was really doing much better. Most of all I really appreciated the capable, expert approach, the holistic understanding, and the experienced care I got. You cannot go wrong with Dr. Petheram's expertise. He is a real healer and his kind manner is wonderful. Later on when I had a torn meniscus, I returned to him and he has been supporting my recovery because he would offer solutions for promoting body healing that the orthopedic surgeon simply does not have.

I had felt it was way beyond what a chiropractic visit could do. At times I couldn't lift my arms above my head. He listened and spent time and patience with me to create a plan. I left there with such mental and physical relief and I am into day four of remarkable feelings of recovery. I believe in chiropractors but all others pale in comparison to him. The entire office works to see that patients can be scheduled quickly and the atmosphere is most positive. I am so grateful.
